Mutagenesis - CRT "screenshots"

Added 2024-01-15 05:21:35 +0000 UTC

Feeling the inevitable "this sucks wtf am i doing" emotional stage of this project but pushing through it bc thats all you can do! Currently trying to knock out as much remaining art as possible and that involves making a bunch of fake CRT monitor screenshots of the game.

When I started this project I spent a lot of time experimenting with this CRT look and now I feel like I've got a pretty solid process, so I'll make a tutorial once I'm finished :) generally I start by drawing a larger scale image, resizing it to the correct resolution (256x224px or 640x400px) using nearest neighbour interpolation, and then assembling the CRT filter over the top. You can see the original scale drawings for these in the last pic above. This also saves me a lot of time bc I hate doing pixel perfect artwork and these images will appear small on paper.

I wonder about what the final photocopied result will look like considering the image quality will be crunched several times by then... I'm hoping for at least "decipherable" lol

Thanks for looking <3
