Topic: Pixel (webcomic)

	Webcomic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Webcomics are similar to self-published print comics in that almost anyone can create their own webcomic and publish it on the Web.
		Webcomics are not subject to the content restrictions of publishers or comic syndicates, enjoying an artistic freedom similar to underground and alternative comics.
		There are also general webcomic communities emerging through the general webcomic sites that cover news and articles in the community such as Comixpedia, which have their own general forums.

	Pixel - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		A pixel (short for picture element, using the common abbreviation "pix" for "picture") is one of the many tiny dots that make up the representation of a picture in a computer's memory.
		Pixels on computer monitors are usually square, but pixels used in digital video have non-square aspect ratios, such as those used in the PAL and NTSC variants of the CCIR 601 digital video standard, and the corresponding anamorphic widescreen formats.
		The technique, referred to as subpixel rendering, uses knowledge of pixel geometry to manipulate the three coloured sub-pixels separately, and is most effective with flat-panel displays set to their native resolutions (because the pixel geometry of such displays is usually fixed and predictable).

	Webcomic - Comixpedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Scott McCloud, one of the first advocates of webcomics, has pioneered the idea of the infinite canvas, where webcomics (such as Cuentos De La Frontera and e-sheep) are free to spread out in every direction indefinitely rather than be confined to normal print dimensions [1].
		Because webcomics are not subject to the content restrictions of publishers or comic syndicates, they enjoy an artistic freedom similar to underground and alternative comics.
		Webcomics in the form of either newspaper strips or comic books will often publish in their respective forms, although comics which have experimented with the formatting of webcomics will find it more difficult.

		Webcomics are similar to self-published print comics in that almost anyone can create their own webcomic and publish it on the Web, especially using multimedia wikis, some of them with GFDL or other free license.
		Scott McCloud, one of the first advocates of webcomics, has pioneered the idea of the infinite canvas, where they are free to spread out in every direction indefinitely rather than be confined to normal print dimensions [1].
		Similar ones are those using clip art, found art and photography, while pixel art contrasts by using low-resolution work created by the artist from scratch.

	Glenn's Junk Chest: Copyright: A Modest Destiny Indeed
		However, in the conventions of pixel art as intended for use in video games, or works derived from video game styles, there are certain standards of practice by which artists may construct similar works, however because of this fact, we understand there is a greater chance for some likeness and tolerate similarities.
		Pixel art is a great example of a medium within which copyright law reaches its limits and gives up rather quickly in some cases.
		As pixel art becomes larger and watermarks are considered, it is possible for an author to argue against possible theft of work by questioning the intent of pixels which appear seemingly out of place based on the formulaic style present in a work.

	TNL Forum - Pixel Art: Some Questions
		My idea was a pixelated trumpet head in the corner spewing forth various notes and famous NES mini-bosses (BoomBoom, ProtoMan, etc) ripped straight from emulators.
		You can also get software like Graphics Gale to do pixel art (it "specializes" in it), but because it's a very obscure piece of software it's not compatible with every export file format you may require (especially tif and eps usually linked with printing).
		My suggestion is to find a base sprite you want to emulate the pixelation of (like an old Super Mario one, you want it to be big and blocky) and then make it from that size.

	Weekly Webcomic Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		It’s an experimental webcomic about a comic and its caption, and the entire english alphabet (that’s a character, by the way.) Despite the three characters being integral parts of the strip itself, they each have a seperate personality, and the comic in general is well-written.
		Mr Morgan-Mar was responsible for an event unprecedented (and as of 2006, unrepeated) in webcomics: the GURPS Casey and Andy.
		I was thinking about this thread in Ryan’s latest webcomic, Frank: The Comic Strip and I thought “Ryan is definitely one of the coolest dudes in webcomics.” He could have said a lot of things to that rather rude comment, but instead he pointed out his track record, and left him to be.

		He's definitely not wrong that these events have become the most defining part of his webcomics career so far, which is a shame, because his comic was pretty good.

	Sprite comic - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Sprite comics are webcomics that use video game sprites and backgrounds for their artwork.
		Sprites are pixelated renditions of video game characters that are usually taken from ROMs, through computer emulators.
		The major difference is that in pixel art comics the sprites used are wholly or mostly created for the comic, rather than being pulled from video games.

	The Comic Book Guy.com: Interview With Sean Howard
		I've been a programmer for years and I used to be a member of a popular web community dedicated to pixel art (http://pixelation.swoo.net).
		Too many people see webcomics as a way to be heard in a crowd - which is a bad way to look at it.
		I think too many webcomic creators put too much of themself in their comics and all you've got left are these poorly thought out vanity projects which crumble the second they stop being "fun" and start being "work".

	Pixel Chat - The definitive source for 'Lame God of War Jump Puzzles' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		First off, it's always interesting to see what (few) places are linking to PC, and I was surprised a few days back when I saw that somebody had actually added a Pixel Chat banner to the "Links" page of their comic.
		Most of the hits come from searches of "Pixel Chat", followed closely by "Mai Shiranui", but I also get hits relating to just about every subject I mention during my front page updates.
		Well, to be honest, I probably didn't even play enough newly released games this year to make a list where there's a real difference between the "best" games and the "games that I actually played" categories.
