Dorino1, I was going to post some examples from pixeljoint as well.
ThatCanadianGuy, stop being such a jackass and saying what you think.
It gets annoying.
Stop being a ****.

Regardless of whether parts of this pack were plagiarized or not, it's disgusting that people in this thread are acting like it would be totally okay to just copy someone's textures, edit them a bit, then throw them out as your own. Especially this guy:

Yeah because they were idiots. Nobody cares about pixel art except for game developers, pixel "artists" (and I use the term "artist" loosely because pixel art is not a true art form), and nerds.
He's probably planning on claiming he was trolling all along in order to make him not look like the idiot he is. Even so, I'm going to leave this here:
Just because something is made with a certain medium does not disqualify it as art.
Anyone who actually knows what they're talking about will tell you this also, I.E. art history professors, professional artists, anyone who has ever taken an art class and has an IQ over 75.
zaaakk, it is wrong.
I don't want this to become a full-fledged flame war and such.
@ThatCanadianGuy
Dude, grow a pair of ****ing balls, seriously.
You were trolling most of the time. And Pixel Art isn't weak..
I would love to see you create something as good as the ones on this page: http://www.pixeljoint.com/pixels/new_ic ... ?ob=rating
If not, then shut the **** up. You're really getting on my nerves man.
Leave this thread.

Actually, no, I wasn't trolling the whole time. And I'm not the idiot here. Pixel art is just....weak. It's easy to do which means anyone can throw a bunch of pixels together and say "LOOKIT ME, I'M AN ARTIST".
Try doing real art with paint and a canvas, then we'll see how much of an artist you really are.
No offence to Kas, however. He's the exception to the rule.
It's funny that you say that, I'm an art student who has probably made more paintings than you've made idiotic comments like these. I don't know how much more I can stress this: you have no idea what you're talking about.
Even if pixel art was as easy as you claim (it isn't) the argument over whether art is only worth the amount of effort put into it was settled long ago. I assume you also believe that Pollock isn't art either?
As for trolling I based that assumption on the pure bullheaded stupidity of your comments. If you honestly aren't that's really amazing.
Oh, and I really believe that you created some pixel art as good as on that page with barely any effort, but conveniently it was deleted while reformatting your drive.
I don't believe Pixel art is a real art form, therefore everyone else must believe it isn't.
This is your entire argument in one sentence. Please, read this over again. You're trying to force your deluded mindset into other people. That's just not how society works.
Try as you might, you're not going to change what art is. Art extends far beyond the paint and canvas that you insist on using as an example. Art, by definition, is the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others. One man does not have the power to say what isn't art. Ask anyone with even the slightest knowledge of art and the intelligence above that of a common household rat, trapped in their own proverbial cage of bigotry; they will tell you the same thing. It's something to get your feelings across, share your own imagination with other people.
Pixel art is no exception. What you may see as colorful, boring, irrelevant dots, is someone expressing themselves. Someone took the time, effort, and imagination to create it. It utilizes the basics that you often see in art, lighting, shading, coloring, texturing, This loops back to the definition of art. The world sees it as art, because the author is portraying their feelings, a point. Yet, you continue to emphasize that the "true" definition of art is set in stone, that only the most famous artists are capable of creating art.
Why do you continue to shut yourself off from the world like this? Face it, you're only making a fool of yourself by continuing to act so intransigent. Not to mention you missed my biggest point by acting that way.

Pixel art is the same as any other creative outlet. Steal it, and you stole some else's work. There's no disputing this fact.
If you honestly not only continue to believe everything you've said so far, but that the world does as well, then everyone is going to continue seeing you as nothing more than an insufferable *****.
Pixelart is f**king bad art. People who can't make proper art resort to making pixelart to further their sad claims of being an "artist".
Quote from ThatCanadianGuy »
As for seeing me create something like that, I used to be able to. Back about 3 years ago when I was designing a flash game, I did alot better pixel art than the stuff on that page.
As much as I'd like to end this argument, I just had to point out your blatant hypocrisy here, along with the fact that you love Kas's pixel art. I also like how you ignored my post before this one completely.

That is all, and f**k anyone who tries to brush me off or try to "explain to everyone how i'm just trolling".
If pixel art is so bad, why buy a game with pixel art in it? By being on a forum about a game that has pixelized art, you art not only trolling everyone with your uneducated opinion, you are trolling yourself.
It's okay, guys. He's just upset about that time a bunch of pixel artists jumped him in an alley and forced him to draw a picture using a limited resolution and color palette. SO SENSITIVE!

Troll harder, bro.
Back on topic -- this is the most amazing pack I've seen thus far. I can finally bring myself to change the default textures. :biggrin.gif:
Hey I love this pack for all its wonderful options. It's like... I wish minecraft had support for reskinning on the fly.
But I really love the painterly pack's model, having so many options and being able to customize your blocks through a handy checklist. I can never come up with an entire theme for every single block, just ideas for some blocks here and there. Is it possible to volunteer some random block skins?

Anyway - this pack is pretty nice. I think I'm just going to use the halloween themed parts forever, now. The masked mobs are a lovely touch.

Curse PremiumThis. The lighter textures for alot of things really look great, I always thought there wasn't much contrast in alot of the things.
I constantly get a 'not responding' from my minecraft whenever I use it, not sure why thats happening
EDIT: Nvm i got it to work
