Modern pixel artists far from "misunderstand" the legacy of pixel art. They're specifically designing for a sensibility and context that didn't exist when pixel art was originally made. Actually talk to pixel artists and they'll explain this to you themselves perfectly fine
- toxik 4y agoSo it seems you missed the word “perhaps” which essentially makes this correction meaningless.
- cylon13 4y agoYou can’t just slap “perhaps” on arbitrary statements and expect to not be corrected if they’re inaccurate.
- toxik 4y agoWe can never know what each and every pixel art designer means or intends, simply because there is no single answer. Because of this obvious fact, I offered a common explanation among those designers I know that produced pixel art: that they simply do not consider the particulars of how pixel art was rendered on cathode ray tubes. Hence /perhaps/, a possibility is presented. I find your counter-argument superficial and perhaps intentionally missing the point.
- layer8 4y agoI have no idea about modern pixel art artist’s thought process, but it’s generally under-appreciated that CRT-era pixel art looks significantly different on todays displays than it looked on the originally targeted hardware. That being said, there were also a couple of years in the 2000’s where pixel-based icons were specifically designed for LCD.
