Better Programmer Art

Woot! My article got featured on gamedev.net:

Better Programmer Art: Or how to fake it as a game artist.

I use a lot of examples from past LD48 games (mine and others), and most of this is stuff I’ve learned through doing these contests. Ironically, in the most recent contest I didn’t have time to replace the placeholder art so it pretty much ignores all of these tips. 

Hope this is helpful to the community. Enjoy!

   Fantastic! I printed it out to read later since I was at the day job, but then decided to read it immediately anyway.
