eboy, those wizards of unaliased, no-dither pixel illustrations, have updated their website with a bunch of new stuff. How do they work their magic? I'd love to sit down next to these guys and watch them draw something from scratch. Link
UPDATE Harry sez: I just wanted to point out your most recent boingboing post about the
eboy icons is not quite correct in terminology. You're looking for
"aliased" as the description for the icon style, not "unaliased".
"Anti-aliased" is the opposing term, which describes an image where
colors blend together as a result of supersampling the image. "Aliased"
is the term to describe the stair-stepped pixel style used in the eboy
icons.
It's a common mistake; I think it stems from the fact that people regard
the term "anti-aliased" as a negative term, where something is not done,
and think of it in relation to "smoothed" versus "not smoothed". If
it's "anti-", it must be the "not smoothed" state. So folks often flip
the terms, and don't want to use the more positive-sounding "aliased"
for what they often see as the less sophisticated computer graphic
style.
