Quick question though. What do you think would be the best program to make icons with?
| |
No idea, I think it's personal preference, Some people use Paint other use GIMP, Photoshop, Paintshop Pro, Dream Maker GameMaker there are so many programs. Just what ever you feel comfortable with.
I haven't done pixel art so I may be the wrong person to answer this but I would choose Photoshop since I use it a lot and now my way around it pretty well. There is also a Photoshop pixel art plugin and tons of tutorials on how to use Photoshop to do pixel art. | |

I did knew the DM language at one point in my life I have become unattached and forgotten a lot of it I am more into web development. But I was hoping to get back into once I found a pixel artist ( that isn't going that well even with money as an incentive ) So I will be trying to do it myself slowly. | |

So say you found a noob pixel artist (who is learning) with and excellent programmer at his back. Without money of course since I suck haha. Such as a basic health bar i just made for a HUD (kinda based on the infamous energy bar but I can of course be more original).
 But of course it can be better done | |

I'm going to sound like a MAJOR noob here,
how did you paste the picture from paint to these forums? | |

I'm going to sound like a MAJOR noob here, You'll need to upload the image to a file hosting service (Imgur is a good one) and copy the direct link to the image (which will end with the file extension [.png, .jpg, etc]). From there, you use the img tag to display the image, like so: <img src="[direct link to image here]"> | |
