Ahhh Grafx2 - Quality programme ! I use it on my Linux box (mainly to make custom levels for - Worms TDC) I'd be very interested in the following - 1. Your thoughts / reviews for the old Amiga art apps, E.G. Deluxe Paint Brilliance TV Paint Personal Paint 2. Your workflow for creating digital / pixel art. E.G. Have you thought about creating a few videos showing how you create art for your art projects (and your demo scene stuff) ? I think we'd find it fascinating Anyway, another top video Proteque Keep up the fantastic work !
Thanx for some great ideas. Always happy to get those. Actually I have something like that ready for next Friday release :) it at least show from zero to something-image and showcase some more software. I should do it with ppaint, TVpaint and DPaint as well (have used all of them a lot). For some reason it feels more difficult to do with those giants. But I absolutely need to do it. Especially TVPaint which doesn't get much coverage. As always. Thank you for you continued support and nice comments. means a lot to me!
@@proteque yes feels like a treat to be able to do the line drawing in a program like this with a Wacom. Have had no luck getting tablet to work in FS-UAE so far.
@@proteque Interesting, do you start with drawing next to a photo or do you pixel ontop of an existing one? I ask because I always liked that Amiga art style look but there's barely any workflow videos other than the few ProwlerGFX videos.
I remember I tried it a couple of times on Windows. I loved Dpaint, and I really liked Brilliance on my Amiga... I guess I could have liked this also, but never got "used" to it really... Going to try it now in my Pi Zero 2w :-) ---edit Hmm... This should work creating C64 pixel art also I guess then!
@@alexanderwingeskog758 well kind of. But it doesn't stop you from breaking the rules of the graphic mode. Example: multicolor bitmap mode has a pixel Aspect Ratio of 2:1. And for each 8 x 8 pixel character location can only contain 4 different colors: 1 color is defined for the background, 2 colors are defined using the screen matrix (same as a hi-res bitmap). For c64 graphics I would give a vote for multipaint. Very good pixeler for c64 graphics.
@@proteque Ah forgot about "rules" (was so long so I thought x-double pixel and a matching c64 palette would do the trick haha, something for GFX2 devs to create a mode for I guess (with the c64 restrictions):-) I will forget I think, so i'll try Multipaint! Thanks! And for the Amiga they could do the same with Half-brite I guess.. (well no restrictions per say only 32 color palette (from a 4 bit RGB) and make the rest 32 "half-brite" OCS style)... ---edit Oh wait, Half-brite you could do actually with out any problems I guess..
@@alexanderwingeskog758 yes. For Amiga, Atari modes and that generation of computers you are indeed covered! Hope Multipaint ticks your boxes. If not there as several options. (Have forgotten their names though).
@@UltimatePerfection i used promotion a bit around 2008. It was very good. But my choise of operating system made it a bit of a pain as it didn't work well in wine for a period and using wine does not integrate very well in the ui. But such a great pixeler. I should give it a revisit. Maybe my license still works on current versions.
@@proteque If you got 6.5 or earlier license, your best best would be to e-mail Jan for a steam key of the NG with proof of purchase. He's a reasonable guy and even if it doesn't work out, PMNG is very cheap on Steam. AFAIK it runs great on Wine and if you are worried about the look not fitting... well, I wouldn't use half of Linux software if I was worried about UI fitting with each other. GTK somewhat (still not fully) fits with Qt stuff, but then you get stuff like Xlib or Motif and other "weird" UI libs.
Awesome intro to Grafx2. Neat info about the spread option for the gradients.
Truly great video and easy guide how to use Grafx2! I have it myself on my X5000/20. Using it together with the PPC native version of PPaint.
Great to hear!
@@proteque It sure is, and it might interest you to know that Kas1e is now porting the latest version of Grafx2 to Amiga.

Thanks for this!
I had no idea this app existed and also found it runs fine on MacOS.
@@DrDavesDiversions hope you have fun pixeling!
Started using this recently on Linux and loving it. All the things I like about DPaint etc. but I can actually use my Wacom tablet with it :)
@@itsbledley_tv i should give that a try. I do have a wacom intuos (3 I think). Thanx for reminding me :)

Was that screaming picture your original one to begin with or were you just modifying an existing one?
@@samuelbanya mine original. But takes too much time to pixel something like that on cam. Was ment for a graphic compo. But not finished in time.

Amiga os :) i Boguty Amiga OS 4.1 3 weeks ago :)
Nice. What are you going to run it on? Emulation or do you have a ppc Amiga?
The UI is incomprehensible though. I wanted to like Grafx2, but had to shell out some bucks and get ProMotion NG for my DeluxePaint-like needs.
