[quote=Canoas]@Nameless It's trying to mimic 8-bit but it's not actually 8-bit. Here's a website containing super mario sprites: http://www.mariomayhem.com/downloads/sprites/index.php Choose any of the NES games and enlarge the sprite you choose. @Nyoike You need to use some 8 bit in your pic from an 8-bit NES game. I suggest you search for sprites.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]You may use any image as long as it relates to an 8-bit video game. There must be some 8-bit artwork on there.[/quote]

[quote=Canoas]So I can just make my background 8bit and then use an image related to the game for the character? It's pretty easy to make background with only 4 colours.. Specially when we can put brushes, smudges and C4D on top of it.[/quote]

[quote=Nyoike]So the definition of 8-bit would be 4 colors? It doesn't have to have a very pixely part at all?[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]That's not it. I did some quick update to the OP. If you just make an 8-bit background with only 4 colors, it's going to be a bit hard to find art about a 4 color, abstract game that you conceived out of thin air.[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]What about a background with 2 colors?[/quote]

[quote=Temzilla][quote=Nyoike] So the definition of 8-bit would be 4 colors? It doesn't have to have a very pixely part at all? [/quote] 256. 8-bit = 256 colors. But other than that, it's become a term used to classify very low resolution, low color count art, made to emulate the style of atari and NES video games.[/quote]

[quote=Nyoike]Grrrr... my brain hurts... sleep didn't help at all.[/quote]

[quote=Canoas]Lugi, you got to make the rules clear. They cannot be ambiguous in any way. [quote]You may have any art relating to the game. Only condition is, you have to have some 8-bit art clearly visible on the sig.[/quote] That means you can use picture that is not 8-bits for the NES game character and then use a separate 8-bit image for the background that is not related to the game.[/quote]
