A while ago, I made a bunch of concept art for an ‘OS’ of sorts called ‘Root’. The art was never realized, and I don’t plan on doing it, probably ever. (This is a big, big idea and I’m short on time and resources atm. Not to mention it would have to be perfect for me to release it.)

Felt like releasing the art if anything, since I had nothing better to do with it.
Was just typing that this looked BEAUTIFUL when my computer actually blue screened lol! What did you make all this in, it looks very advanced
Here’s an interactive version:
Use A (space) and B (enter) to move back and fourth between images. Press menu to lock controls. You can also move the cursor with the arrow keys.
It’s all in the MakeCode image editor w/ the default palette! I tried going for the classic arcade look without modifications. The fonts are all custom and written by hand, although every character is in a standard format. I copy pasted some, but most of them i drew in from memory every time since I got used to it at some point. The fonts are availiable in size 5 (lower and uppercase) and 4 (only uppercase). I can release them standalone as art if anyone’s interested.
Wow actually, if you wouldn’t mind releasing those, that would be great! I’ve done custom fonts for games before but the smallest I got was like… 5 by 8!
Do you guys think I should make more when I have time?
The font is 4xN… some letters are wider than others. The narrowest letters (ex. “I”) is 4px wide and the widest ones (M&W) are 7px wide. I swear I had all letters and symbols mapped out somewhere, but I can’t find them…
I made another concept design, this time in the style of Windows XP (luna skin). Hope you guys like it!

WOW that looks SO COOL!!! Youre so good at that!
I personally wanted to use it as a dump for the art I made about this specific project, but sure, go ahead!
I misclicked my vote. Note I meant windows 11.
You know you can change your vote right?
WHOA! Good sir @Sarge You are a legend in my book! How-ever did you make such marvolous art?
…oh. oops
Thanks everyone for making this a Nice topic! (10 likes reached lol)
Haha thanks! It’s really not a lot, since a lot of the art is mostly geometrical which I’m good at. I suppose the hardest part was making the icons, but I’m still not as good at that as someone like @AbstractDesigner.
Yo, stop @ing me… These drawings are way better than mine (-᷅_-᷄)
Heya again everyone, I just remembered that I said I’d publish those fonts but I never did… sorry about that. So anyway, here they are!
I’ve sorted them alphabetically and by width so you can chose what you like. Feel free to edit the project and borrow the fonts for your games / projects. The numbers and symbols are missing but I might add those sometime in the near future!
Heya @sarge! Was wondering if i could ask for your assistance in a side project I’m working on “MAKECODE WARFARE EVOLVED or MWE” its going to use some of The Grappler hook playground code (just the grappling hook) the charechter select from pixel smash and 360* aming! (in case you couldn’t tell its a battle royal (Singles)) I need help with sprite art and menu art sooo I wanted to enlist you! What say ye?
