Title: Making a custom font....thoughts please..
Post by: Pixel_Outlaw on September 13, 2008
Just messing around trying to make a custom font. I don't know if I'll use this but my pixeling skills needed some refreshing. About 3 hours in Ms Paint.

I still need to make some more characters to complete the set.

I welcome people wanting to use this font in demos but please provide "Pixel_Outlaw" credit if you do.

Indeed. The background "copper" fx reminds me on some well-known
AMIGA font. Nice one!

I'm still working with the same font I've added some more characters. If you are handy in photoshop you could select the transparent bit then select the inverse of that and then fill in the letters with bland space making them solid. You would then have the blank base if you didn't like my gradient. Stick around, I'm still adding characters when I get time.

Loved the first gradient (with the first message), more than the last one (black and white) but I guess it'd stand out better if used on a dark background.

Anyway, it's very cool, I really like the fact that all your characters are in a same "mood" (erm.. It doesn't mean a thing but I hope you got the point ^^)
