A Dark Souls 3 - 2D pixelart metroidvania was pitched to Bandai Namco ~6 years ago.
This is now finally out of NDA, so enjoy the visuals created back then.
Can we please stop lying to ourselves and respect the fact that being an artist doesn't mean to be a magician.
Cooks use recipes, Coders use documentation, engineers and architects make the plans based on existing things etc.
Using =/= Copying
No big deal.
Hey pixel artists,
Maybe you heard that
#pixelart
needs to have a limited amount of colors "to be pixel art".
Limiting your colors can help tremendously.
BUT what you are looking for in pixelart is INTENTION - how you use your pixels.
Limited colors alone don't guarantee this.

I keep reading Blasphemous a lot in my notifications. Everyone who is new here might appreciate to know that I actually worked on Blasphemous too ;)
Here are some of the works I did for the game:
I am considering to turn my tutorial series "Pixel Art Knowledge" in a full and extented artbook.
What do you think about it?

If you want to add more colors to your pixelart, it will have effect on the production time, but even more so in animations. It's good to be aware of it.

Necromant Lyon, the imperial prince of Grado.
And the twin heirs of Renais, princess Eirika and prince Ephraim.
A little tribute.
A chest which I created for the "1480 Vienna Renaissance Room"
Trivia: Chests were the most common piece of furniture. It was pretty interesting to learn that cupboards actually developed quite late from chests, which were stacked on top of each other.
Please don't run with the first results in a google search
Unfitting references are a huge reason for unintentional creative mistakes
If you are using an image-search tool:
-know the exact name of what you are looking for
-keep it specific
-add information
simple vs specific:
Pixel Art exists because of nostalgia is the single biggest and widespread misconception about
#pixelart
.
Pixelartists have their own ideas, values and philosophy about creating their artwork with pixels.
The reasoning can be explained completely without it.
One of the most fascinating things in art is to be able to learn how to construct photorealistic images. It trains both, the eye and the hand and being able to go really close to a reference without tracing is a very beneficial skill. (1/2)
A little tutorial on how to make a basic topdown construction much more delicate by adding vanishing points.
While it might seem like not much difference for a cube, it can have huge impact on complex objects.

I saw this wonderful painting by Alexandre Jacob, which is totally amazing. Its style might work well with pixel art I thought.
So I just spent an hour this morning and tried to pixel it :)
It has been exactly 2 years since I finished this chart.
