Description My 3rd pixel piece ^^

I expect most people know what this is, but for those of you don't: it's a NES, or Nintendo Entertainment System. It was called the Famicom in Japan. It was released in 1983, and set the standard for games consoles. The NES was responsible for revitalizing the games industry, due to its popularity (with 60 million sold worldwide), so without it games consoles may never have recovered, and names like Playstation and Xbox may never have existed.

There are several pixel art pictures of these on DA, but this is closer up than the others I have seen. This created my first problem. The more distant pictures allowed their creators to just represent the writing on the front with a red 'blob'. My proportions are pretty much the worst for putting in the writing, as I discovered after everything else was done. I know the writing isn't very good, but I tried!

The other problem is the controller ports. It was extremely difficult to bevel them to make them look real, especially with those dark colours making shadows impossible to make stand out. I gave up after a while and just left them looking like stickers on the front lol.

Other than that I'm quite pleased with it, comments and favourites appreciated!

The lettering can be overlooked! The only advice I could have would be removing the black edge on the outside of the machine, especially when the inside lines are all contrasted, rather than separated. But besides that, pulling something of this size in pixels using MSpaint, takes skill! Bravo!

This model was first released in this version here in '85, not '83.

It was my first 8bit gaming platform I was like 6 or 7 years old...I feel so nostalgic...(I still have that console in my room, and sometimes I play duck hunt or super mario bros)

Very good job!!!!

Oh well done, I think that is quite cool, You done an excellent job on the writing, it's better than just a red mass

It's impressive, especially the way all the angles and proportions etc look right. You're good at this.
