Jayenkai	Yeah, I think that's as small as you can get him. I just gave it a go myself, but the eyes need a gap, and you can't avoid it.. head, blank, blank, eye, blank, eye, blank, head. That's 8 pixels across.. and that's as small as he can possibly be. 8x8, plus 2 for the feet, plus another 5 for the hat. 8x16, and he doesn't quite look as good as he did. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	A bit smaller. Obviously you can still move the eyes down 1 pixel, but that's about it in monochrome, methinks.

spinal	Getting there, I have a new respect for old school pixel artist and the struggle to make characters look good ad such small scale, those 8bit days must have been hell. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

rockford	It's not just the small scale, but also the lack of colours. With monochrome you can't add shading or anti-aliasing to make the image smoother. Most Speccy games didn't use characters that small on the whole, so that's why pixel pushers made great things with the old 8bits - a bit more room to work with.

spinal	I'm forced in this case with a 128x64 screen, it's either tiny sprites or scrolling. Also, you're right, it took me quite a while to start thinking in 1bit and realizing that something can look the same without actually looking the same, negative space etc. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

Jayenkai	Maybe the boss character can be a ginormous (regular sized!) Joe!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
