I saw a picture by accident on an ORIC site and tryed making a two color bg.....any advice?
If only it were colour.... GREAT WORK!!! :D
Speccy-tastic!Ã, ;D
If you're using Photoshop, make a few custom brushes with different dithering patterns. Then just fill in an area with a flat colour on a seperate layer, equip your eraser tool with a dithering pattern, one click and hey presto! It's fairly easy stuff.
As for the above image - it's perfik.
I think my eyes are burning...
I tried dithering once. As James said, custom brushes is the way to go...
Dithering isnt always just a checker pattern.

not bad, but it's inverted! yellow is much brighter than black and you have put yellow where the shadows are and black where the light is
Coolness... I had thought about the yellow and black being inverted, but I was going off the style of an old oric pic....
I did this sucker at work where I have only the M$Paint, but I will try that brush thing out definately....Thanks all...
I see three colors!!
Nicely done there Squinky.
Heh, well yeah, I wasn't counting the border though, heh.....Nice to see ya around again synth, been awhile...
it sure has..
nice to be remembered.. :D
Your a good pixel artist, just work with colour and develop your own style.
Actually, Squinky has his own style, known as 'the Squinky style!'.
I like it Squinks, I love dithering on backgrounds. I'd love to see a game made in this style! Maybe just not with colours that bright, but two colours only. I could imagine something Captain Mostly could come up with...
