Author Topic: 5x8 Character Map  (Read 1261 times)

I'm trying to create a low-resolution character map/font for a project of mine.  The problem therein is that I suck at pixel art.  Thus, I've attempted to create the best character map I could in the span of about three hours.  Since I didn't want to spend five days revising and redrawing every character until I felt it was perfect before asking for the advise of people better than myself at pixel art, I set myself a deadline for release (2:00 EST).  Each space is color-coded based on how I feel about its quality.  Below is the table of quality, from best to worst.

Cyan: This character is very definitely finished.  There are only two of these in the entire character map - the space and the no-break space.
Green: This character is finished in my mind.  I'll still change it if someone posts a better version.
Yellow: This character should probably be improved.  If you're good at pixel art, please post improved versions of these characters.
Orange: This character needs revision.  Please post improved versions for these characters.
Red: This character is in need of some serious pixel art magic.  These are the ones that are unrecognizable.
Magenta: This character has not yet been made.  This is reserved for characters I genuinely had no idea how to draw.
Blue: This character either has no textual representation, or I have not been able to find one.



Only pixels which are RGB {0, 0, 0} are considered part of the character.  All other pixels are considered to be background.  If you decide to only post one character, please post what character it's supposed to be, even if you feel it's obvious.  If I adopt your rendition of a character, you'll be listed in the credits below.

Current list of credits (character codes are in hexadecimal):
Xalos: 20-80, 82-88, 8A-8C, 8E, 91-9C, 9E-FF

There's not much you can do with that much space to work with.

Would you like to suggest a different character size?


That'd be some damn wide characters.

Perhaps I'll make them 8x12 instead of 5x8.
