Cyber spider man?!?! How have I never seen this before? So awesome and totally 90's like you said :'D I think I would lose my mind trying to do a pixel portrait of spiderman, with all of the mask lines :'D You did a great job with that, especially the colour step transition with the darker colours for the animation, really awesome technique! Thanks for sharing as always Brandon :D
The little inflection on the word "CYBORG" while it animates in is such a cool look! And the colours totally did look particularly good on the CRT at the end. I wonder, is there some sort of formula to that? 🤔🔎 The new year is off to a great start with this comic book rendition; do you have any hopeful goals for this year? Me personally, I'm gonna try to make at least TWO videos before '22 is over! 😆
Thanks dude, I always love when single words are given a pop of colour or a flourish like that - it's a nice substitute for emphasis when there's no actual voice acting! And yeah I hope I can figure out the 'formula' one day for what looks nice on the CRT. A lot of times certain colours don't translate 1-for-1 to the display, but in this case my theory is that the saturation must have been in an ideal spot :D Haha that's great, best of luck with your video goal for the year - I'll be looking out for those! And with it being 2 vids you can check-in half way through the year and see how that's pacing out 😄 I think a goal for this year is gonna be to take on ambitious challenges in my art; things that'll get me out of my comfort zone and continue to improve. We'll see how that goes because it's often so easy to default into familiar technique 😆
@@BJGpixel The CRT formula would be such an interesting topic to learn more about! 😱 And yeah it looks like you can really narrow it down by looking at individual values like that! Getting out of the comfort zone sounds like a good practice for this year 😁 I hope we both achieve our goals! ✨
Man, each time I watch one of your videos I get new insights on ways to improve my technique. Like the constraints of finding the smallest detail and interpreting that into pixels. I feel like if I had tried to do spiderman that low res, I would have not been able to figure out the black lines on his costume. Creating detail correctly is my biggest hurdle so far. I love these videos! So much fun.
Thanks dude! Yeah it's super tricky sometimes, especially a tiny detail like lines on the suit😅 Sometimes it's an 'order of operations' kind of thing. Like if my goal was to create a nicely detailed portrait, I'd probably extrapolate from that tiny detail to select a more appropriate resolution, but in this case when that space was already somewhat defined, it's a bit of a trial-and-error puzzle to find what works! Thanks for watching and all the best with your art! :D
Every-time I see your videos, my imagination just goes wild thinking about all the awesome games we could create together! Love your work and as always cannot wait to see more! Best wishes, Luke
It's been a while since I've checked out the channel, time for binge watching! I swear it's therapy for gaming fans, great work as always. I loved this comic as a kid.
LMAO! Every time I mentioned CRT time you changed it out to that picture frame or cad crap. Love your videos and your art. The giant robot cat fighting in the city is my favorite. Lot of details and perspective. I do have to admit the cad software being in pixel form was still interesting to me because it was low poly pixelated and 3D but it looked hard to work with or less forgiving in area's of rendering capabilities. Your 2D art is really good though. You are one of my favorite artists. I give you this virtual medal in order to honor you my friend! 🥇 Don't try and sell it cause they won't give anything for it. 🤪🤣
Oh man this took me back! Erick Larsen is one of my favorite Spidey artists and this cover was an all time favorite of mine, soooooooooooo 90s! Amazing work translating it into pixel format! Outstanding 👏🏾👏🏾
"SCORE: 1992" I see what you did there. Great work as always Brandon. It's always a treat seeing a new video from you. Something you've done before that I'd LOVE to see more of is making a manga page into pixel art. Perhaps it could be an old classic like Sailor Moon or Evangelion, or maybe something newer like Dragon Maid or Demon Slayer.
@@BJGpixel I need to check. I think I've got few here in Leeds. Back in Poland I had big collection, from 90sas well. But when we were teenagers my brother gave them out to his friend because, as he said: we were adults and didn't need them any more. I almost killed him for that 😡🤬🤣🤣🤣 I cant forgive him till today haha
@@DadVader Haha oof that sounds like a big loss, maybe you can hunt them down - either replacement copies...or the actual guys who took the originals lol 😅
Nice, interesting idea! From the thumbnail I expected you to remake the cover art in pixelart, but this is fine too :D When you were doing the linework, I thought it would be great to add subtle tech pattern in the background, without outline - and then you added it :D Lovely idea with portrait disappearance animation - I especially like the grid effect. Very subtle, but adds some "flavor". "Cyborg" text highlight was also a great touch. Spidey-sense halo seems to be a light source for the room, it matches the highlights :D
Thanks! Yeah I actually love this cover so much, it'd be awesome to revisit and do a pixel redraw of that too! And thanks for noticing, I did sort of think of that halo as a light source; doesn't really make sense physically but from an artistic standpoint it seemed like it'd unify all those highlights to a common source 😆
Se ve increíble me gusto la manera en que lograste adaptar el cómic y convertirlo literalmente en un videojuego clásico y ese estilo animado en los cuerpos de los personajes los hace ver más divertidos y la paleta de color que usaste me encantó la verdad yo no abría como usar una paleta con tan pocos colores pero tú lograste crear una gran armonía entre estos y a su ves crear loces y sombras, me encantó sigue así me gustaría ver más cosas así a futuro
Is there a good term for the practice of using those colors to create the scientist's skin? I've seen several games use that formula of a main yellow tone, red/orange for shading + color depth, and reusing the white of the eye for a shine. I adore creative use of color like that within a limited pallette
I think it's partly based in reality. Lighter skin tones can be a bit yellowish, and the more reddish dark tones might be interpreted as subsurface scattering (and it kinda brings the "average" color closer to something reasonable). Not sure if there's a name for it though.
Like make a pixel game art style of chapter 1 - end of chapter 1, so I wonder if there's a how to make an animated "game art style" series of your comic
I wonder, can you really make a whole story from an actual comic in pixel game art style, like what you did on your video? 'cause I like to make my comic into a game style like yours

Dude, that portrait fade in effect. Genius.
Man, these portriats are great. The way they appear and fade, the expressions - amazing despite limitations of color
The doc is like

I love your work, man! I wish there was like an 8 hour long vid of all your CRT times, set to some relaxing music... 😊
Please do this! I wonder if 8/16-bit lo-fi music is a thing...
@@shanerpressley It is.
I need this
He could DEFINITELY do a lofi stream with a slideshow of all his animations playing on the CRT. That'd be dope.
Nailing it every time. Beautiful work!
That dedication and attention to detail!!
BEAUTIFUL! Just... beautiful!
Always love some crt time
The colors look so good! and the style is adorable.
i love how you didnt even need to add too many shade tones on spidey and still made it look good
Every-time I see your videos, my imagination just goes wild thinking about all the awesome games we could create together! Love your work and as always cannot wait to see more! Best wishes, Luke
Who needs tv when you can binge watch these amazing tutorials!?
I never miss one your videos, I have so much respect for pixel artists!
Amazing work as always. Text and transition were particularly cool.
You're always doing something better than the previous art work
Final product looks incredible well done
Color fades look great
It's been a while since I've checked out the channel, time for binge watching! I swear it's therapy for gaming fans, great work as always. I loved this comic as a kid.
Wow this looks amazing! I think converting a comic like this is a great idea and really well done.
awesome work as always!

Really well done! I love the chibi style. That is sometimes hard to pull off properly. You nailed it!
Thanks so much dude! Yeah it's definitely a strong choice to steer into, and became a fun contrast with the comic inspiration :D
I really love pixel art, I want to start soon!
Great as usual.
Another video recreating a Comic book page like you did with Akira would be awesome.
Fantastic as always
You should do this more often, this is so good!!
OK. I didn't know I needed this video
Oh man this took me back! Erick Larsen is one of my favorite Spidey artists and this cover was an all time favorite of mine, soooooooooooo 90s! Amazing work translating it into pixel format! Outstanding 👏🏾👏🏾
Mine too. I still have all those Sinister Six issues of Spider-Man

another good artwork! keep up the great work!
I love watching yours pixel transformations. It's so relaxing 🥰
Thanks dude! ✌️😊 Btw do you have any old Spider-Man comics in your collection?
@@BJGpixel I need to check. I think I've got few here in Leeds.

Incredible pixel art
Spider-Man,
Spider-Man,
Running around with a cyber hand.
when i saw this my mind just made up some dialogue
“didn’t you already do this?”
“nah, that was remaking; this is recreating”

awesome!!! wonder how you make the CRT time, it's perfect!
I'd love to see Brandon do something with sub-pixel animation!
I would be interested to see how you would do a picture the size of the cover art… just the canvas size, shading, colors, etc.
Now you’ve made me want to play this game 😂. Great work
Great!
Gracias por tan buen contenido me has ayudado mucho a mejorar como artista. Eternamente agradecido, Saludos desde Colombia.
Nice
how long does one have to use these softwares to be this good and also do u recommend photoshop for such exercises
Like make a pixel game art style of chapter 1 - end of chapter 1, so I wonder if there's a how to make an animated "game art style" series of your comic
Seeing the cover I thought it would be a rob liefeld comic at first.
You did how make pixel art in 3d look ?!
u ar the best s2
hey man, can you animate pixel art in after effects ?
Pretty Cool :)
cyborg nano scares me
How do you display your pixel arts on a CRT screen ? Do you use a HDMI to VGA adaptor ?
Did you get a new microphone? Or did you take a different approach to mixing? Your voice sounds different than I'm used to.
I wonder, can you really make a whole story from an actual comic in pixel game art style, like what you did on your video? 'cause I like to make my comic into a game style like yours
Hope you're gonna reimagine powerquest as a gba game.
cool
you should make something based off the style of the mobile game Leap Day
Is the CRT tv real or is it 3d?
What model is that CRT?
😎👍👍
Spiderrree
Gameboy game. Make a demo por favor!
challenge: try to create pixelart without a palette
"WOW YOU GOT METAL ARM?!"
ask Tom Peter Parker to cyborg spiderman
can i ask some things?
hehe the score is 1992 and the issue is from 1992
