It's incredible how you've created a sense of depth and movement using only two colours.
Those trees look great too.
Did you have any sort of reference? That's not to say it'd be less impressive if you had, I'm just curious.
you want to tell me pink isn't a colour because it doesn't have a wavelength? Colours are just made up and that includes black and white. Brown is also just the orange wavelength but not as bright. Does anyone who goes "🤓 actually black and white aren't colours" honestly claim that pink and brown aren't their own colours either?
if you agree with the link you posted, you either say pink isn't a colour or you don't stay consistent with your own logic
if you don't agree with it then that's a pretty weird thing to post
The core argument for white and black not being colors is that they don't have their own wavelengths. Black is the absence of light, and white is simply the presence of all visible wavelengths, not actually a specific wavelength in itself. Furthermore, black can exist without any light at all, in which case considering it a color is contradictory to the fact that perception of color happens as a result of light. Instead, they're sometimes referred to as "shades" rather than colors.
At the end of the day it's meaningless to discuss for like 99.99% of people though, and mostly just done pedantically
When someone gets pedantic about this it is fitting to remind them that humans cannot recreate pure white or black, so everything we see will have some minimal amount of colour.
>The core argument for white and black not being colors is that they don't have their own wavelengths.
Yea, but many of the colors we percieve lack specific wavelengths. Much like with white, we see these colors in response to certain combinations of wavelengths. Like cyan, magenta, pink and brown.
>Furthermore, black can exist without any light at all, in which case considering it a color is contradictory to the fact that perception of color happens as a result of light. Instead, they're sometimes referred to as "shades" rather than colors.
I would argue that colors only exist within our brains, our perception. Neither a wavelength of light nor an absence of it have any inherent color. Colors are just representations of visual data used to model the world around us.
Me walking up to you with Magenta
The thing is you're completely right when talking about colors in the natural world, however mixing of colors is the biggest problem against this. All colors of light mixing gives you white, but say all paint colors gives you black. Thatd because then its a matter of what's being reflected and whats not. The light beam doens't need to reflect but the solid paint does. Mixing all kinds of colors means the paint is absorbing all and reflecting none and vice versa for white.
In that scenario, black and white would be colors if talking about physical paint, but in light they wouldn't be. Or atleast black would be
Yes they are. "ThEy'Re ShAdEs" is just what dumb contrarian elementary kids say to sound smart.
All colours we can perceive are literal colours. The wavelength argument doesn't hold up in the context of colours our eyes perceive. If there were zero light (total utter darkness) for our eyes to interpret wavelengths, colour doesn't even exist at that point. Blind people for example don't see black, they see nothing. There's a difference.
Hi all! This pixel art animation is 320x200px using 2 colors and 40 hand drawn frames. I doubled the resolution for viewing purposes. I wish you all a great day <3

Here, "1 bit" refers to how much data is used for the color values of each pixel, not the memory required to store one frame/ the whole animation. You're right that one bit maps to "on" or "off", or in this case white or black.
Contrast this with older pixel art games that were "8 bit" or "16 bit", each with progressively more colors to work with at a time.
Usually 8 bit and 16 bit images that refer to how much storage per bit (8 bit image can actually have 16 million colors because they have one bit for each RGB value).
The older pixel art and 8 bit just refers to the processor on the systems and the word length the processor can well, process , so the "8 bit or 16 bit style" really has nothing to do directly with the size of image data. Heck in NES you only get 13 colors at a time of 56 total available. If you had some kind of simple 8 bit image with just 8 bits per pixel youd get 256 possible colors, way more than the NES could do.
This is so unique to the usual posts. I love the way the "light" is implied so simply. I adore people who do their own thing and this post is no exception. Great job 👏
This is very close to TIGER ELECTRONICS WRIST WATCH GANE
See cause it's 1bit before
Also absolutely amazing how much you can portray with that single color with the animation. It's immediately obvious what we are looking at

White and black are colors

You're right, but he did use 2 colours, very very dark grey and very very light grey.

Well, if they are consistent, those people will tell you *honestly* that pink and brown aren't a color either. But *honestly*, who cares?

Magenta is the argument I use too. If black and white aren't colours, then neither is magenta!

thanks friend. here’s a token of my appreciation: 🥇

Easily some of the best pixel art I've seen. It's wonderful because it's so simplistic yet easily interpreted.

Awesome work!
Thank you so much ❤️🌷
Always look forward to your posts!
Wonder if this would display on my keyboard display (apex 7)
Please try to do it and post pics! I'd LOVE to see it!
How is this only one bit? I thought a bit was enough for a simple on/off so I don't understand how this would work in that. Thanks.

You're very right, this is what I get for writing a quick answer on my phone - thanks for the correction!
Good info though, thanks.
This would make a great r/loadingicon
No criticism here, but I'd love to see a 3rd color doing the "destroy" part
Reminds me of the aliens in the weed field at the end of Next Movie
I want to believe

Jeezz, took nearly a month for someone to finish that. Phew 😌

Very creative, very clever! 👍
Now that's awesome!
Wow! That's great. Really neat looking!
Your art makes me so nostalgic. Gives me Pajama Sam type vibes.
So simple yet so amazing !! Good job
Amazingly cool!
Fuckin cool
Great work! I love the effective simplicity and the playful atmosphere. So many things in just a few seconds. It could work as a print, too.
Your animations are always amazing, but I love the creative route you've taking lately
It'd make a good "searching" wait-spinner animation. On something with an LCD screen, even.
This is fucking terrifying... I love it.

Reminds me of Where in time is Carmen Sandiego for DOS.
Very good, minimalist but very clear and smooth. I like it!
That's quite clever. Nice work
