It's interisting to hear about limitations game developers had back in the day. That adding something lika a 32x32 cloud sprite was to much, haha

It's incredible how much can be achieved with so few pixels and colors, you inspire me to do a lot with little.

Hey you found time to do it! And with a whole orchard of Peaches no less! They all look great, and I really love your research and analysis for tackling this too - I had no idea about that lost-level Peach sprite 😱

real neat! An interesting trend for sure, no idea how these things even start. Seeing your whole thought process breaking down the sprite's origins to making something new is great

I think it's look good for background just for background not even for ground normally i hate that kind of pixel art but it's really look good for your arr

I guess all digital art could be counted as pixel art, I think that the first method still counts in combination with handmade sprites. On its own I am unsure but I would lean more into it still counting as pixel art because it looks like pixel art and is human made, even with help of a computer. As for the second one, I would lean more into it not counting on its own but in combination with other sprites I think that also counts. Plus if you edit it by hand at all on its own I still think it counts. But in the end it doesn't really matter what it is as long as its human made and accomplishes its goal

Great workflow ideas - and I think it's definitely that case that a lot of retro games would crunch down larger paintings to get a similar efficient result. Whether something is/isn't pixel art shouldn't be dictated by whether or not every pixel was drawn with a 1px pencil, or even placed intentionally for that matter; rather, I think it's about the design philosophy and presentation. For instance, your selected index parameters and the final clean-up/editing of the outputted image brings it into a style that's cohesive for your intended usage, and pairs well with the hand-drawn character sprites - and this required your own critical eye during every step of that process ✨

You are my favorite pixel tuber.

If you want to look it a bit more professional, don't use dithering while you use "convert image to indexed color". After conservation, you can hand dither everything.

Despite still TECHNICALLY being pixel art, I guess it's not a full on traditional pixel by pixel method, and bordering on normal low-res painting. But definitions aside, it helps get results, and artists have always used different kinds of methods to achieve them. Like how some paintings use 3D scrulpts as a base.

Oooh, I've never considered these methods of making backgrounds for pixel art. I am totally going to start experimenting with this :) Thanks for the inspiring tutorial!

The technique is called HD index painting, and Krita is one of the best free programs for it.

Wasn't gimp something like "GNU Image Manipulation Program" or something?

I like the green clouds with floating islands best of the versions you showed. Just my own personal preference. Anyway, thanks for the video!

How is it this channel has ONLY 2.76K subscribers?

Labels are for things we buy in a store. Art is Art!

So very well done! Looking like a GameBoy title I’d absolutely love to play! Have you heard of the GB Pixel Art Jam by any chance? (BJG made a video about it last year, so probably yes.) Next installment is in about a week on October 5th and runs throughout the weekend. It just slaps a single additional constraint onto the specifications that you followed here: using a maximum of 192 individual tiles (that’s what is necessary if dialogue boxes or menues want to share the screen with the background image). In a short burst of obsessiveness I had to test your Quiet Level One entry for tile numbers… which meant I scaled the image on the Kickstarter page back, mapped that green rainbow of jpg colors back onto 4, and let Aseprite break the result down into a 8×8 tileset to count the… well, tiles… (felt like more work as it reads right here). Result: 209 individual tiles. But many that’d be very easy to fix (like transpose some stuff about a single pixel, to not cross a tile’s border). P.S.: Funny coincidence when regarding your most recent video: my entry for the jam in 2023 just happened to be a “still” of a fictive insect RPG. Go, bug heros, go!

This was BY FAR the best work you've done. You have totally outdone yourself and I am both dumbstruck and flabbergasted at your final result. Making sprites as big as the goddess of death is not easy. And making an animation for her is even harder. Kudos and hats of to you. This was amazeball deluxe!

its like beetle borgs, but final fantasy and better. 10/10

Mr. Robin we learn about making characters only. how about learning about drawing buildings for example like castles, cities, shophouses etc. I'm not very good at making pixelart buildings. thank you for this video I really enjoyed it it's very helpful keep creating❤

Next video should be on Trogo Gripper xD

Completely unrelated to the very informational vid: I'm loving that Mega Man Zero shirt!

I wanna learn pixel art but I feel like I just can't grasp art in general

Really solid sprites and some fun concepts, can't wait for this game to come out in the year 30XX

Another amazing video! I love the characters, and I know I would spend wayyy to many hours playing Final Antasy!

This was awesome! Love watching the process and I feel like your pixel art is getting better with every video :)

Hey Mr. Robin, do you have your own dream pokemon? if there is, what does it look like then what is unique about it

why pixel art channels just don't do the style swap like that Brandon video it was a so cool video and never seen Anybody do it please do the style swap i wish Brandon do it agai
