I think the cat and pumpkin might be my favourite yet. 

Re: Acorn Art Thread
It would be great if we could see some or all of these pictures in a slideshow type of program, on .SSD or .DSD, because then they could be displayed not only in BeebEm but also using real hardware (a real Beeb and a (CRT) monitor).


Re: Acorn Art Thread
Yes Lurkio that is a good idea......we need to build BBC into the save option of Art sometime which will let us do that.
Fourthstone is doing some stuff with graphic outputting at the moment.....we'll see what crops up.
It really needs to be shown on a Microvitec Cub eh!
I did that painting above just from my head. You have to keep plugging away at it when it get's hard.....I couldn't get it right for hours!

Here is a disk I have with art
Maybe the program on here can be used for it, it used compressed pictures created with SVPIC and they are loaded with LDPICRe: Acorn Art Thread

Loving these, when I see the chunky pixels and bold colours I can also hear in my head the disk drive chugging away to load a typical mode 2 screen.

Re: Acorn Art Thread
I think I'm going to start to try something new.......along with traditional Mode 2 painting.......it might be quite interesting....combining the new and the old.....watch this space!

Re: Acorn Art Thread
I have pictures I have converted to BBC Micro Screens that would be ideal for this thread if it didn't feel like cheating when there is software that does it for you.
What do others think?

Re: Acorn Art Thread
Not as much as having the image be 640 x 512 in 4 colours!
Re: Acorn Art Thread
Everyone has a different idea about what constitues "Art"............this is now a BBC micro image.......

Re: Acorn Art Thread
Does mode 7 art count? Maybe should be disqualified because I didn't create it on a Beeb

Various teletext things including a web based teletext editor which can export as mode 7 screens.
