Woot! My article got featured on gamedev.net:<\/p>\n

Better Programmer Art: Or how to fake it as a game artist.<\/a><\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hope this is helpful to the community. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
