Thank you! It was a challenge, but I'm glad it paid off! ⭐ I'm also happy to hear that I inspire you! That's all I could ask for truthfully! I want to foster a community where everyone learns from one another all while having a good time!

XD Agreed!

TRUE, I'm gonna need to add a golden outfit than can only be worn if I'm given an arm and a leg as payment 😤

😔 I'll be in recovery from the spooks for the next 365 days. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it though XD At least something came out of my suffering-

Agreed! I hope I can do more of these in the future!

I'm thankful I managed to even get that many in the first place! ⭐ Thank you for your enthusiasm though!

😔 It'd be a lonely, lonely road ahead if you did!

😌 Such true words-

Thank you! I'm glad it was motivating! ⭐ I'm trying to shout the message from the rooftop so other people don't make the same mistakes I did when striving for perfection!

That's a lovely quote! ⭐ It's a lesson I have to constantly relearn! Perfectionism can truly is the killer of dreams!

Earthbound's a good one! I've also heard Mega Man sprites are great too! I'll add both to my sprite resource doc! ⭐

Ooo! Good point! I'd say it's the same point I try to get across with the patience portion! You have to stay committed to finishing the project, even if you have to take time away from it! Commitment could certainly be it's own category though! XD A fair point indeed.

Oh! Top down? I don't think I've given that a try before! Noted!

The cowboy came into fruition XD Thank you!

Thank you! Conveying emotions in the sprite are my highest priority, so I'm glad it's paying off! ⭐ I'm always happy to help!

XD Truth be told, me neither. I think it started when the randomizer decided he had a horse. Then, he was a bard, so a gutair. Then he's a gambler, so he won them in a bet. And it just spiraled from there- Thank you! And I 100% agree, cowboy adds a sort of coolness to him ⭐

Thank you! I'm not sure my skill level either, but I do have a novice background in regular digital art! This Monday series is to help me practice with drawing characters! Character design is a fun topic! I have some knowledge of it from writing, but not visually! UI and environment art though, how interesting! I don't think I've met someone with those strengths before! What got you curious about UI?

@erisesra To be honest, I don't really have a straight answer. I just dabbled in UI design and just stuck with it, I guess. All the game jams I participated in encouraged me to try out different things, you know?

@@Taronic449 100%! Game jams seem like such a fun way to try new things without the pressure of it needing to be perfect!

@@erisesra Lol, it depends on which game jams. I participated in three day game jams, and they are brutal😬

XD But then he'd be a vampire cow!

Hello! Hello! ⭐ I'm happy you found me and happy you like what you see, thank you! I certainly think there's ups and downs! It was 'nice' but not the, "If you don't go to college you won't get anywhere. You need a degree. Go get one." type of thing. Only necessary in certain circumstances like wanting to join AAA Studios. It's unfortunate you had to take classes without the proper requisites! I had the opposite problem XD Too many requisites that it took me 2 years of previous courses to get to making games. It's nice to hear that's how you stumbled into pixelart though! At least something good came out of it! And thank you! It was a little ambitious to do it in 24 Hours, but XD I don't think I would have committed to finishing it otherwise- Good luck on your pixelart journey! ⭐

Oh! ⭐ I'm happy to supply a need then! I hope you end up liking what you see!

XD In the flesh

I take tips whenever I can! XD They always seem to be super handy!

I'm in the middle of figuring that out! Sometimes I like to blob things together with color! Other times, I'll start off with a rough sketch! The start of these videos show off how I've been trying to figure things out! ua-cam.com/play/PLGWgGZJaoGOsYqqD2Y-8j-APK_PnbJ5qb.html&si=Eo4sBscY710dh8MZ

@@erisesra thanks you!

@@jediahyap1192 Of course! ⭐ I hope you find it helpful!

I do touch on it here 12:55 But I certainly don't do a good job of going into detail! Thank you for the explanation! ⭐ I'm still learning about light and this comment was super helpful, I appreciate it!

@@erisesra NP! Lighting is insanely complicated. Your egg looked great by the end!

@@Monderoth XD Agreed! And thank you!

They're forever carved in history XD

To each their own! I appreciate you taking interest in the first place! ⭐ I know I'm not to everyone's taste so I'm glad my art was able to speak for itself!

I use a Wacom drawing tablet!

@@erisesra Thank you, I have another question. I want to create a pixel art style game by myself, but I have zero foundation in art. Can you give me some advice on how to improve my pixel art drawing skills?

I can try! I do plan to make a "Start here" Video for pixelart, but in the meantime: ⭐These videos has some good resources for learning pixelart: ua-cam.com/video/8cv2kj5AyAs/v-deo.htmlsi=ssAsahwy5RGZWSk_ While it is sprite focused, I think the resources are still super valuable ⭐ Next up, I made this playlist for videos I found helpful for learning pixelart! You can look at the creators of these videos for more insight: ua-cam.com/play/PLGWgGZJaoGOtnPkDGOI8bBN4vWn70vKQ5.html&si=7SbH85UCGNOSGIZa Next, for general advice: ⭐ Find artists of the style you want to emulate and try to dissect them! Take note of the colors they use, shapes, scale, and outlines! For an example of how to do this, I do a section on my study streams called, "Pixelart of the Day" ua-cam.com/users/live7R2qgPcrsnU?si=5fTFPVbs7f_C4jtF&t=555 ⭐ Watch a lot of time lapses! I've found them to be helpful in understanding the artist's thought process and what led up to the creation! It also helps in finding out the drawing process of a piece of art you like! ⭐ There's this website called "The Sprite Resource" I mention it in my resource video! It holds the sprites of a lot of pixelart games! Like with the previous tips, you can study these sprites! The best part is you can directly download them into the pixelart program of your choice! This way to can mess around and dissect them! And finally, I think the largest thing I've learned from starting my journey of pixelart is doing a lot of iterations! Even if the sprite I'm working on is 16x16, I make the canvas size 256x256 so I can copy and paste the sprite I'm working on a bunch of times to compare and contrast! I explain it a little better here! You can see how I have different variations of the computer! ua-cam.com/users/liverfyqAOtBHQg?si=E-ArkKTP5fnEQEw1&t=5323 I hope you find this helpful! If you have any other questions, or need clarification, feel free to ask! ⭐

Thank you! ⭐ I just found out about this arrangement a week or two ago! Though, it doesn't seem to be animation friendly with how frames get cut off XD I'm happy to hear you like the colors! They're always my favorite part of the design! It's always a lot of fun messing around with contrast and color relationships!

Awe, that's really sweet! Thank you! I'm still really new to these sort of videos so I'm thankful to hear I'm moving in the right direction! Thanks for coming along for the journey! I hope you like what you see!

I'm glad the idea got across! XD I was a little hesitant about it! Thank you!

XD Tyty! It's certainly a WIP

Awe, thank you! ⭐ It's a slow burn of growing, but I'm thankful people are taking well to the direction I'm moving this channel in!

Thank you! I'm happy to hear you like the design!

Thank you! ⭐ I'm over the moon you enjoyed it, and even happier it's helpful! Rest assured, there's more to come! This series will be weekly!

Thank you! ⭐ The eyes are always my favorite part!

Thank you! ⭐ And I use Canva! I've tried out other programs, but I keep coming back to it XD

I tend to stick to 128x128 even if I don't use the whole canvas! You can see in this stream ua-cam.com/users/liverfyqAOtBHQg?si=iMQgVomePaYz9yyE&t=4881 I'm making a 16x16 computer despite the large canvas size! I find it most helpful in the aspect that I can try different versions and compare and contrast them side by side! I hope this helps!

Thank you for sharing your journey! ⭐ It’s inspiring to see how you’re embracing a new hobby. I say as long as it's legible, it's good enough XD Thankfully with pixelart, it's a lot more forgiving! I'm wishing you all the best as you continue to learn and create!

I also forgot to say, thank you for your service!

Thank you! ⭐ There's certainly more to come!
