30) What was the very, very, very first piece of pixel art you ever did (and do you still have it to show us?
happy.gif
)

I've lost the first sprites I did (they were some RPG sprites of vash (they werent completely awful either)) I do however have the first pixel art I ever did though:
firstzp0.gif

and a few months ago I was improving it out of boredom:
redoingto1.gif

I didn't finish though

31) Are you sick of answering questions about pixel art yet?
happy.gif

not really
tongue.gif


32) You said you don't drive, so train, bus, bike, fly or bum a lift off a friend?
I used to have a bike, and I used it quite a lot, until it got stolen. Now I actually walk quite a lot, pretty much every time I need to go anywhere by myself I'll just walk there, but I'll get a ride pretty much everytime I'm going to hang out with my friends or something
really nice work btw.. ever tried to make bigger one?
edit: i meant bigger pixelation like background or something like lucasarts style.. you know..
 
1. Are you ever gonna release a sprite sheet in the style of that Zelda "screenshot" you made a while ago?

2. What do your parents think of you doing pixel art?

3. What made you choose the name .TaKaM? And what is the meaning of the .II?

edit: changed question 3
 
33) really nice work btw.. ever tried to make bigger one like lucasarts style?
nah, I haven't really tried anything that big except for a few character portraits

34) Are you ever gonna release a sprite sheet in the style of that Zelda "screenshot" you made a while ago?
hehe, I could.. but I plan on making a RPG demo with that sprite sheet, so I want to keep it to myself

35) What do your parents think of you doing pixel art?
well, my dad doesn't really care as long as I'm paying rent and my mother doesn't seem to like the fact I enjoy making money sitting on my computer drawing, to be honest, it pays very nicely and I don't think she likes that.. like its destroying my work ethic or something

36) What made you choose the name .TaKaM? And what is the meaning of the .II?
first I'll explain my username, its quite simple really
when coming up with a username, I decided to make it relate to my favourite rapper; tupac.
Now, since he often went by 'Tupac', '2pac' and also had the alias 'Makaveli
I decided I would choose between ".TakaM" and ".2akaM" - which both stood for

.
Tupac/2pac
also
known
as
Makaveli

I put the period at the start to emphasize that there was no period at the end because it was a statement that never ended.
And a long time ago I was thinking back to when I was choosing between .TakaM and .2akaM and I thought .2 would've made a pretty cool avatar given the right font, then I thought .II would look cooler.
That was basically my train of thought that left me with the idea of the roman decimals ".II"

and I've been using ".II" as my little logo ever since

Wow, you worked on Gloop Zero?!

The world sure is small... From your website is seems like you made those fake Animal Crossing GBA screenshots, too... Great stuff!

1 - Do you ever do any dabbling in music or mixing?

2 - You seem very passionate about rap and hip hop, but what do you think is the worst type of music out there? Anti music, if you will?

3 - What's your favorite thing about new zealand?

4 - If you could be any kind of fruit, what kind of fruit would you be, and why?

5 - Your wiki page says that you're a Deist, which I think is a pretty good way of describing how I feel about religion (even though, just for clarity's sake, I usually just tell people that I'm an athiest.), and I'm also a lapsed Christian. Is there any particular reason that Deism appealed to you? And how do you usually deal with those who do have a strong religious faith?
 
1) Which game contains your favorite sprite work?

2) Any particular foods/snacks/drinks you like to munch on during those extended spriting periods?

3) Which spriting project has taken you the longest to finish?
 
i'll stay out of the pixel art questions...
1) do you have any pets?
2) Do you like the new GBAtemp?
3) whats your favorite Tupac quote?

"I aint a killa but dont push me!"

yup I made them too, world definitely is small

37) Do you ever do any dabbling in music or mixing?
no, but I plan on it, I've got a lot of songs I want to combine and lots of ideas for other songs

38) You seem very passionate about rap and hip hop, but what do you think is the worst type of music out there? Anti music, if you will?
worst music is also rap, rap nowadays is just terrible, its all about money, drugs, cars, and women..

39) What's your favorite thing about new zealand?
just how I don't need to go far to get away from it all. Went camping about half an hour out of town, and you'd have no idea

40) If you could be any kind of fruit, what kind of fruit would you be, and why?
maybe just an apple lol.

41) Your wiki page says that you're a Deist, which I think is a pretty good way of describing how I feel about religion (even though, just for clarity's sake, I usually just tell people that I'm an athiest.), and I'm also a lapsed Christian. Is there any particular reason that Deism appealed to you? And how do you usually deal with those who do have a strong religious faith?
well, I was brought up as a good little Christian, but I hated going to church more and more each sunday, once my parents thought I was old enough to decide if I wanted to go to church, I chose no.
Then I started high school at a catholic high school, just because my family has always gone to it. It just turned me off even more, the prayers every hour didn't really bug me, and the often masses didn't bug me either, but the compulsory religious education class bugged me.. I couldn't believe the ignorance it encouraged and enforced, just felt like every time I wet to that class the teacher was trying to brain wash me.
how do I deal with someone who has a strong faith? well, I don't really have a problem as long as their religion doesn't make their mind up before they hear the issue, otherwise I just have a quote or two you just can't argue with.

42) Which game contains your favorite sprite work?
I guess it would be street fighter third strike:
http://www.newwavemugen.com/~zweifuss/index.htm
already a very good game, has some very nice sprite work (tho some is quite bad) most is animated very nicely

43) Any particular foods/snacks/drinks you like to munch on during those extended spriting periods?
I drink a lot of coca cola when Im at the computer

44) Which spriting project has taken you the longest to finish?
I'd say my Ken (from streetfighter) portrait.. I've put in a lot of hours and it's still not finished
(you can find it at my site
wink.gif
)

45) whats Deism and why did you choose it?
its more the idea, than the belief that something atleast had a hand in starting off existence, but that it doesn't need worshiping at all. That's pretty much it, it leaves you to decide your own stance on every issue

46) do you have any pets?
yup, I've got a dog, she's about 5 months old now, brown lab named Jazz (named after our old dog Jess)
old photo before we took her home:
awnp6.png

and we've got two cats that are barely ours

47) Do you like the new GBAtemp?
yah, alls well
smile.gif


48) whats your favorite Tupac quote?
I think it would be "only god can judge me"

49) Is that an NZ flag?
yus!

50) Do you go to college? (or university)
not currently, but I have vague plans of going to polytech for computing and arts since I already did the prerequisites

51) Do you hear music in colors?
I feel I could, but I more just get the feel of the music when I'm listening
 
52) How long has that typo been at the bottom of your pixel art page? (sorry couldn't resist

)
