A lot of folks ask how I use color. A lot of it is very simple! Two fun things I use are “zig-zag” and “reverse” hue shifts. In zig-zag ramps, every other swatch is from an adjacent hue. In reverse ramps, light colors shift towards purple, darks towards gold. Try it yourself!

@ratlimit “The woke left has such fragile feelings!” Boasts area man, whose ENTIRE identity revolves around taking swipes at anyone he perceives as weaker. “Ps, poor people are happier that way. We didn’t ask any of them, but it helps us sleep at night, so we’re pretty sure it’s true.”

Hi #VisibleWomen , I’m Naomi. For years I didn’t think I deserved to be visible, let alone a woman. I’m still kinda convincing myself. But I’m here now, making chunky crunchy #pixelart ! Mostly trees, sometimes girls, sometimes cats, sometimes girls in trees, sometimes catgirls.

The problem persists as we add colors.. As long as there are roughly regular "stripes", the effect only gets worse the more you work it (which is DEVASTATING for beginners!) Some folks suggested dithering. This doesn't SOLVE the issue, but it points in a promising direction...

Many tutorials will teach to shift darks to violet, brights to yellow, dividing the canvas into warm light and cool shadow. This is good advice, but it’s also good to experiment. Breaking those can be rewarding, especially when working with organic and/or translucent materials.

It's fun doing technical art for Ember Hearts to match low-color, hand-animated sprites. Target spinners are angle gradients, but with carefully tuned framerate and color steps to look like they COULD BE hand drawn. They're not even perfectly round, because "perfect" is a tell!

I enjoy using hard #pixelart brushes for #conceptart because I feel like they force an economy of design which is really beneficial. It’s not that detail isn’t achievable, but you have to really work for it. And because the palettes are small, it’s easy to do color variants.
