#hexels
Going through some old external hard drives and found some art from 2016. 💾 Can you tell what game I was playing at the time?

dreaming of something like Hexels for line drawings...I want to be able to do the sort of limited graph-paper doodles I do without opening up a full vector art program

Odd computers. I fixed up that computer I posted before, but I'm not done yet! Anyway I made the base in Hexels and made these additions with Illustrator. Inspired very much by some of the work of @mooneysart.bsky.social one day I'll be as good at drawing retro tech as him.

What are people using for pixel art these days? I used Hexels once upon a time and quite liked it, but was wondering if there are some other unique tool or workflows I've missed over the years.

Note: This isn’t the only method to create pixel art with non-square pixels. It’s effective if you want to convert existing art that already uses square pixels.

There are also art programs that support painting with non-square pixels, such as Marmoset Hexels 3!
Process I used for non-square pixels

1. Create pixel art with square pixels 😆
2. Upscale the art. I used the xBR algorithm
3. Paint over to add details (since square pixels cause aliasing)
4. Process with a shader or filter. I used the Filter Forge 12 plugin for Photoshop CS6
5. Done!

Here's a taste of the kind of stuff I make from time to time. I'm more of a musician than a visual artist, but I'm trying!

Hexels are fun!

yes! i went to their profile and saw the tagged programs

im purely csp + gimp + (other niche or deprecated programs like marmoset hexels) so that was my big question they readily answered via their main post (which tbh is just best practices for selling / releasing brush packs)

omg hexels!! is this recent, or from way back in that era? either way i love the gradients...

Thanks! 💕

Here’s how I made these!
bsky.app/profile/kian...

There are other ways besides using a shader or plugin, too.

If you want to use shapes like trixels and hexels to paint you can also use an art program that supports them, like Marmoset Hexels 3!

If you make anything I’d love to see it!

I was using Marmoset Hexels since the inception of Roses and lately it's been effectively dead, no linux support and quite frankly hasn't been the greatest for animating sprites so I moved back to traditional pixel art (while still trying to match the old art direction) #gamedev #RosesWillRise (alt)

Hexels

https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/hexels

A grid based art program that lets you paint with shapes, the program later became Marmoset Hexels.

Oh hell yeah, a fellow Hexels enjoyer

In my head; they found out how to make things move and vibrate with magic and how some ppl have used it for...

"non-so-scientific reasons"

Viktor is about to make an strap-on out of hexels, and Jayce fears for his butt-integrity

Pray for the big guy, fellows 😩👍🏻
I agree with everyone who said that Vik would keep reading so here's part two! #jayvik #viktorarcane #jaycetalis #arcane
