    Like I was saying before UA-cam being down so rudely interrupted me:
    You’re the Bob Ross of pixel art. Your easygoing nature really gives these videos a great final touch on top of your very inspired work. Good job, man!

    Wow it’s amazing how fun it is to watch this whole process. This was surprisingly really entertaining, it feels like listening to a friend explain his creation process to you, amazing! Usually these types of videos get rather boring since its not that exciting to watch someone draw but you make it fun to watch and listen to. So yeah, keep it up!

    Man, I only discovered your channel today yet I’m already loving your content. Not only is your work exceptionally well made and detailed, but the way you communicate in such a down-to-earth fashion in your speed paints is very entertaining. It reminds people that artist’s aren’t just gods; making insane amounts of art in seconds with no troubles, but are only human just like us and experience the same setbacks we do. Thank you for inspiring others ❤️

    That is some impressive work. I made a few sprites for UA-cam videos in the NES style of only 4 colors and it was a great challenge. I've since moved on to SNES coloring and 15 colors to make Shining Force pixel art. These videos are certainly giving me the insight I need to get back into it! 👍

    Love your channel, great art. One thing I'd love to see you do is adhere to sprite restrictions as well as color and screen size restrictions.
    For example - a piece made entirely of 16x16 sprites (not sure on the GB's sprite limit, but it wasn't too high iirc).
    Keep spriting!

    • @BJGpixel
      @BJGpixel  4 роки тому +2

      Thank you! Yeah you've got the right idea; the original GB was organized into 8x8 tiles, and only a certain number of unique tiles could be in use at one time. And I believe any animated sprites were limited to 3 colours only. I'll have to get all the correct numbers together and attempt a true Gameboy Challenge! :D

    Very new at this and still attempting to find my footing in pixel art, but I stumbled across your videos and they've helped me with a lot of issues I've been dealing with. I have one question though: what benefits might there be to designing a world with these 1-bit parameters and coloring/shading later on once everything is set? The major struggle I'm dealing with currently is shading and how light hits objects, but going with only 2-4 colors seems like an effective way to slowly get better at the art.
