Pixel Art

At this point, I think its safe to say that pixel art is my new hyper fixation, so prepare to get sick of me lol. It hasn't been long since I started doing this, but I think I have found the resolution that I prefer. 128x128 gives the perfect balance between the pixelated style while being able to add a decent amount of details imo. My preference for software has also shifted a bit. When I started, I didn't mind using Libresprite, but now that I'm making more complex pieces that also require a reference, I've gone back to Pixelorama.

It's been almost a year now since I started doing pixelart.
A year a go I was learning godot and decided to make my own game, the catch was my specs would struggle with 3d, so 2d was the way, and what is 2d gaming without pixelart?

I watched couple of pixelart tutorials and found out about Pixelorama and installed it.

made with PAINT.NET, delayed post by a week

This was a request from r/drawer of someone’s cat named Cleo! I liked how this one turned out.

Hey all! I started making pixel art around a week ago and I'm enjoying using this medium so far! I decided to bite the bullet and make a more complicated piece. I will admit, I had trouble getting through this one as shading the tree bark was so bit confusing and I decided to switch up the style at the top, but I'm glad I did it!

I've been exploring more of the Fediverse lately and I've found that PixelFed is great for finding photos for drawing references, which is where I got the inspo for this piece from. I really struggled to shade this if I'm being honest, something about the ice cream cone made the values hard to make out. Plus,this canvas size was a lot bigger than my other drawings so it looks a lot less pixelated. Idk how I feel about it tbh.

I think I've been doing too much pixelart lately and the outcome is distortion of reality.

Spring is here so it's the perfect time to draw more earthy/bright-coloured pieces! I may have started off my pixel art journey with Pixelrama but I think I prefer Libresprite tbh...

( I should also mention that I also post my art on Bluesky, I go by Angie-543 https://bsky.app/profile/angie-543.bsky.social)
