this was meant to be a cowboy crowley piece, but now with the lighting and the scale i think it would be hard to tell its him at all (epic pixel art moment)

maybe i bring them closer to the viewer at some point but im just working my way through the BigCloud for the time being

one time i posted this piece

and someone commented that it feels like he's going the wrong way

and i was thinking about why that is and then why do i prefer to draw things going to the left???

when we play videogames usually the player goes from left to right (in a sidescroller), when we read or write we go left to right (in the west anyway)

but i still like making my characters going to the left, i suppose like theyre going backwards, returning somewhere, running away, it feels more nostalgic to me

anyway crowley is going back back back he is going back to find aziraphale !!!

art and feedback can make you discover some things that youve been doing subconsciously !!

Okay so, got any advice on making pixel art? Anything at all?

I want to draw two of my characters in a style of the game they're based from, which happens to be a high-detail pixel game called Coffee Talk (for example, this is Freya, one of the regulars)

I don't have much experience with pixel art so far, I have some, but only minor stuff.

Sure!

If I was planning to do this, I would first search for a clean reference of a character from the game. That means without any jpeg artifacts and not blurry at all.

Then i would bring it into Aseprite (or whatever program you use), take my marquee select tool (M in Aseprite) and select one "pixel".

Doing this I can see that the pixel is actualy 2x2 px, which means the base sprite was scaled up 2x. So I will go to my image settings and scale the image by 50% (ctrl + alt + i) so I can have the art at its original resolution.

This is much much easier to work with and study for a pixel artist.

Then I would do my art side by side like this:

Studying from the original and mimicing stylistic choices when I can

You could also just edit the sprite (this is totally ok to do as long as youre honest/upfront about it, just like any study. So many beginner artists get started with sprite editing, its such a great way of learning).

I want to make a special mention to this website called Spriters Resource, if you're looking for game sprites (especially retro stuff) you may find it here!

If i don't know how to do something i always go on spriters resource and search games I like, so I can learn how they do it. This website is a goldmine for beginner pixel artists

Feel free to ask me any specifics in the future!! and GL
