Stuff I started for a recent site, mostly got replaced by nicer looking photos.
Hehe, they thought it was clipart - not sure if that's a compliment or an insult.

I wouldn't say pixel drawings are the best thing to use on a wine site. Photography would probably be best as its abit more "poshy".
Thx for the idigitalmotion link, I was surfing the tutorials for aaaaages :P some really nice stuff there.

Nice work, tho as gasbag said photos are more posh and fit in with wine better
Where can I get these programs, click and Play etc. etc, and are they Free/Cheap?

great stuff here. I really can't do pixel art but i have always been a fan of pixel art.
One question though..... if you make a pixel art fo 200 px by 200 px and your client decided that it needs to be bigger say 500 px x 500 px -- what does it mean to your pixel art?
Do you need to redo the art or just resize it like I do with vector-based images?
keep up excellent work btw.

Resizing may be possible. It'll certainly be a lot blockier.

yep that's what I was wondering about -- what do you tell your client about this if they asked for it to be bigger?
would it look "uglier" if you resize it?

Some artists will resize on purpose. Quite a few sites with super chunky looking pixel stuff. Can't think of any off-hand, but in most cases, it looks cool, especially on larger resolutions where the crispness of pixel sized stuff is lost. (think 1600x1536 )
As long as you keep the sizes in powers of two (IE, 1:2 1:4 etc) you shouldn't get any nasty effects like you sometimes see, where a line of pixels appears thicker than another.
If I'm sizing up stuff in photoshop (same is true of fireworks), and I want to make sure it doesn't get blurred ( most apps interpolate pixel values to smooth scaled images), I set it to nearest neighbour (there's a drop down with smoothing options, usually bicubic,bilinear, nearest neighbour etc. ).
I don't know about PSP, I've not used it so I don't know the options, but there should be an option to resize without blurring/smoothing.
If you absolutely have to scale the image to a weird size, scale up first with nearest neighbour and then scale down with bicubic, perhaps doing a 40% Unsharp Mask on it afterwards to crisp it up.

ah I see now -- nice one!
cheers mate.

Or simply open the image with MSPaint and supersize it there! But make sure you expand the image with the tools option of resize .. and make sure to make the % whole numbers.. I recommend you supersize it 200% first and then go from there up or down.
Man.. the only thing I miss from windows is Paint.. but hee I would not trade my mac for anything!
