What are computer game graphics?

 

 

Computer Game Graphics are several point which make up the game, which include Pixel Art, Concept Art, Texture Art.

I will briefly describe some of the points.

 

Pixel Art:

It is a form of digital art, it is created through the use of raster graphics, where the images are editing on pixel level. This is mostly used on old computer games and mobile phone games.

When pixel art is at too high of a resolution it becomes to look blocky or pixellated, this is called pixellation.

 

Concept Art:

It is a form of illustration used to carry an idea for use in films, games, animation or comic books before it is put into the final product. Concept art is also known as visual development

 

Texture Art:

It is the element of arts that gives the way it looks and feels, in this case the texture art of a video game such as Call of Duty: Black Ops would be old, grungy, dirty and military styled.
