This time it's the turn of Odin Computer Graphics to get the Kim Justice YouTube treatment! Speaking as someone who was there at the time, I can say that Kim's in-depth coverage is fair, balanced, and pretty accurate.

Here are a couple of snaps of the 8-bit pixel Lego art pieces. These are on a 12" x 12" Lego-style baseplate using 1x1 node bricks, note my hand for scale too (and deliberate mistake).

I have already ordered some genuine lego 2x2 node tiles (smooth surface) plus 4 base plates to make a 24” x 24” piece. That will give a perfectly uniform tile alignment, in addition to a lower surface profile; that said, there is something to be said for the 3D profile of the current set, especially in certain lights.

Following on from yesterday's post, here's another frame of Astro Charlie from Nodes of Yesod, this time in mid-somersault!

Again, credit to my daughters for the construction, Dad 'directed'. :)

It's on a 12" x 12" Lego baseplate using 1x1 node bricks. Will post some stills of the final items.

Astro Charlie from Nodes of Yesod in Lego-style pixels. My daughters did this build, with Dad on logistics, materials, video & editing, etc. Yes, I turned my dining room table into a lego pixel factory on Christmas day. :)

I think these are ace, and great for the office/person-cave wall. Will post more pics of the finished result. These are on 12" x 12" base plates.

What do you guys think?

Back in the heady days of Pocket PC development around 2003, when games were sold through such outlets as Handango, it was either required or de rigueur (I forget which) to create fake box artwork for games submitted to those marketplaces. Here's one for #NodesOfYesod that I came across recently. #retrogames #gamedev #pocketpc #fakebox

@mdf200 here ya go, my old Windows Speccy emulator still works (on Windows 10, I am amazed) captured using camera pointing at the screen (because IDK how to screen cap Windows stuff) this is 224x168 scaled with some lookup tables. And to be clear it is scaled in 16 bit color space so the applicability to really low end devices is questionable, but works fine on 80-100MHz ARM devices like the PocketPC and even some slower SH4 or MIPS based PocketPCs IIRC. And, evidently I am crap at playing Nodes.
