Shockie!!!

Another cool bitmap font by Shockwave on the offerings and as a thankyou from us here at the board.
More colours to follow soon in a zip archive.

(http://www.dbfinteractive.com/gravity/graphics/fonts/shockie.png)


Dimensions: 16x16 with 60 frames & 256 colour mode.

To save right click and direct to your desired HD location.

You may need to change the image format from png to whatever suits your fancy, to do this providing you have a good package should be easy and not need any explanation.

Cheers once again.
Clyde.

This is the font I drew for Amorphous Darkness demo. Wham did all the other graphics in that demo (way cooler than mine). If anyone wants to use this font, feel free. I'd love to see it in someone elses demo.
Btw, I also used this font in some other stuff with different colour schemes.. Strangely I didn't do much else in the way of bitmap graphics, even though I started off as an artist on the amiga and was voted as no. 3 uk artist in the Unity charts, and also came 4th in the Quartz party for a picture of a gladiator I did when I was in Wizzcat Uk.
It got used on their diskmag as the title pic and the coder fucked it up because the picture was in ehb mode and interlaced, he displayed it non interlaced (I think Red Devil sabotaged it ;) He wanted to keep his place as No.1 artist)... However I think that both Krest / Rebels and Lynx / Rebels were much better artists!

What programs do you use to draw your fonts? GIMP? Photoshop?

I use Paint Shop Pro to do my fonts, even Paint Brush would suffice. The main trick is getting the fonts nicely Anti Aliased. You can sometimes get away with using a tool such as blur.

Please remind me, to get more fonts for the archives done.

Cheers,
Clyde.

I made this font with good old Microsoft paint :)
