Batman Pixel Art | NES-style sprite
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 чер 2024
- The Batman sprite from the 1989 NES game is one of my favourite 8-bit designs, so I thought it’d be a fun exercise to explore the design principles of this sprite by making my own version!

6:30 the plate he hides under his clothes in the lets get nuts scene.
Good job. I was wracking my brain trying to figure that out without actually watching the movie again.
Bingo! _Where does he get those wonderful toys_
@@BJGpixel From the mantle, sometimes.
6:30 Looks like the Bat-credit card from the best Batman movie of all time!
Nostalgia Critic is Gonna have a Field Day with This
Imagine if there's an NES game adaptation based on Matt Reeve's _Batman._ That would've been awesome to see.
6:25 - I'm going to guess that item is the silver serving tray thing that Bruce uses in Vicki Vale's apartment to deflect Joker's bullet.
6:27 C'mon, we all know that that's the Bat-Credit Card, the famous item he has in every iteration!
Loving the darker, more realistic colours. Looks great but can understand why, from a gameplay and technical perspective, they wouldn't have used that.
You know what would be amazing to see; if you did Superman and maybe even Wonder Woman (the DC Trinity) in this style.
would LOVE to see robin in this style as well
I’m not going to lie, I’m not really into Batman stuff so when I saw the color used for his skin also on his chest I thought it was a boob window, having almost completely forgotten about his symbol lol. “What a brave new direction to take Batman” was my initial thought. Really excellent work though!!!
No, you see the batman boob window is so much deeper than that; batman's boob window visually symbolises that he feels like he doesn't really belong anywhere, he is an outcast just like his chest piece, and that a piece of him is missing ever since his parents tragic death. So if you're sexualising batman because he has his wonderfully sculpted pecs splayed out at all times, you just don't understand the beauty of the metaphor or his character...
And yes this is a poor and forced powergirl reference/joke.
Awesome
we were robbed of the boob window
@@ebiUsher I am organising a rebellion
did you not see the 1997 batman with george clooney? showing manboob is canon
Gotta say, the logo looks really nice. Seems like one of those things that looks weird when you're making it, but the finished result is great.
Thanks, yeah that was exactly it! Turned out it was pretty versatile with the palette also, to just swap out the limited colours for different looks :D
I found a crt computer monitor in my grandparents storage room and hooked it up with cables I happened to have and I have been loving it. Its part of my now 3 monitors on my computer desk.
I'm pretty sure I had one as a kid and my family threw it out a long time ago. Now I have to -$200 Sadge
Ya wanna know how I got this color palette?
yeah
Yes, tell us!
@@zelokorLocalGodOfChaosAndBread My father...was a gamer and an old head. And one night he goes off at a lower resolution than usual. Mommy gets the blast processing to modernize. He doesn't like that. Not. One. Bit. So, me watching, he takes the blast processing to her.
"WHY SO LO-RES?" He comes at me with the blast processing. "WHY SO LO-RES?" He puts in the cartridge for Sonic the Hedgehog 2. "GENESIS DOES WHAT NINTENDONT!" Aaaaand...
...why so lo-res?
Already know this is gonna be a great video
can now confirm video is a banger
I'm guessing the mystery item is the bat credit card
The three constants of the world:
- Death
- Taxes
- His name is Brandon, and he makes pictures out of tiny squares
Bradon's channel has gotten me back into pixel art, and that Text Mode video from a while back REALLY got me into doing that. It's incredible seeing the things you come up with. Maybe we'll get another Text Mode video in the future?
If anyone here hasnt played the NES Batman you should. Its one of the few examples of a movie tie-in game that isnt terrible. Too bad that wouldnt become the trend.

BILLIONAIRE WAYNE wants to battle!
Edit: Was not expecting the odd coloring of the Batman logo to work out in such a nice way!
*billionaire
Millionaire is last year
@@lichtheelumbu1698 wait, he's richer?
If that isn't the platter that he uses to stop the Joker's bullet I'll eat my cowl.
Hahaha that's exactly right! 😆👍
Always awesome! Thanks Brandon!
I'd love seeing a ROM hack of the game that incorporates this sprite work. Your obsession with limited color palettes really shines compared to the original art!
That one item you said you'd be impressed if we could identify: I think that's the Bat-Credit Card! He never leaves the cave without it!
I've been learning pixel art for 2 months and your videos are AWESOME !
Starting watching you when the second 1 bit piece came out. Your channel was a big inspiration for me when I started pixel art, and even when I started moving to digital art. The way you make your videos is just completely unique to anyone else I’ve seen and really stood out to me. Can’t wait to see more in the future!
I really like the BATMAN letters! and the second variety of color it's awesome too. Like!
I love it whenever Brandon uploads.
This is really cool, it makes me wish I had seen the Keaton Batman movies! At least then, I could've had a crack at the mystery item 🦇😅
The blue/purple tones are really nice to see too - they remind me of some older interpretations of Batman. Like the one from the Justice League show, which is still probably my favourite version of the character. The redrawn sprite looks like it could be an alternative suit from the game too! Like a more armoured up version 🤺
Speaking of which, it's good timing that the digital release of The Batman is just tomorrow. I can't wait to see it!! 🤩
Thanks! Yeah I always kind of flip between my favourite looks for the character - the animated appearances are quite iconic; I'm also a fan of the blue and grey sometimes like in Dark Knight Returns. It's interesting how versatile the design is in that way ✨🦇
And yeah that's right, looking forward to that new film as well - the upcoming release must have been in the back of mind and that's why I was doing this work 😅
@@BJGpixel what happened to the girlfriend? won't it appear in a video?
I love the realistic color scheme one! Gotta say though, I was kinda expecting this to be inspired by the new movie. But this was still great as always!
Sick video keep up the great work👌👌
This is neat! I ended up doing a similar thing for Superman sprites based on the unreleased NES game. I should get back to that some day.
Also Bat credit card lmao.
all yours videos help me alot thx bro! keep going work! :D
great job thanks for this. Had great fun with the game back in the day. Many of the original graphics works wonderful on CRT
The flat item you included is the jewelry tray thing Bruce uses under his shirt to shield jokers bullet in the “nuts” scene
I honestly love your video especially how you do a black layer first I don't see anyone else do that but makes each character look well perfect cause I cab tell with just black what uts supposed to be
Thank you for your work, I can learn so much from your videos! :D
Well done. I really liked this one.
Dude!! Is that the perfume tray with the bullet hole in it?! Bahahaha! That's awesome!
You got it!✌️😎 Seen a lot of guess for the bat credit card, which I totally forgot was a thing from another movie 😆
Very good design, the darker got awesome.
Super cool 😎🔥
I imagine the item at 6:30 is the metal tray he used to take the bullet from joker as bruce wayne
Fantastic batman! I really like the realistic colours, even though it fades into the background a little more
dude PLEASE do the joker from the same game!!!
I like the inclusion of the bat credit card :P
an idea for a chalenge: make a pixel art on Exel
since you can change the grid size and color of each cell its possible and i guess is very chalenging
You are referencing the Batman Creditcard which Clooney used :D
that was super cool.
BatVisa is a nice touch.
Tysm for your videos i really learn a lot. I hope one day ill be as good as you 🥰
I Love The New Sprite
It would be interesting to see you create these NES style sprites with more of an understanding of the limitations of the NES.
NES sprites can only have 3 colors as they are all 2 bits per pixel. Adding a 4th color means you're actually layering another 8x8 sprite on top, which would increase the chance of flickering (which occurs because the NES can't draw more than 8 of these 8x8 sprites in a single horizontal scanline, or 64 total).
There are cases where a 4th color is added, such as in the Mega Man sprite, but if you pay attention the extra color is all applied to his face, which is in one 8x8 pixel region. Your Bruce Wayne character, for example, would need to have at least 3 additional sprites (on top of a character that is already like 3 sprites wide by 4 sprites tall), one for each hand and one for the face. That's like 15/64 sprites alone for a single character, and 5 of those sprites would be on the same horizontal scanline, leaving only 24 horizonal pixels of room for anything else before flickering starts.
I think you're an excellent pixel artist, but to really grow to be like the greats of the era, it would be cool to see you try to work within the same technical limitations that they had.
That’s his voice-control call for the batmobile
Nice.
CRT time is the best
I always love CRT time
Very good! If I had all his artwork, I could try to put it into the NES ROM.
Imagine a Moon Knight game kinda in the same style as this. I would LOVE that
This is my 1st time preferring the original over your work
6:30 the remote for the batmobile that he says stop into?
Is the rectangle the bat credit card?
I think that tiny rectangle in the items section is the Batman Credit Card
(I don't care if I'm wrong. I just wanted to acknowledge it's existence)
It’s a Bat Credit Card!
Batman is my favorite Hero of All Time! And Of course M. Keaton as Batman is a Legendary.
I love your creation way more than original from the game!
I still hope that, one day, I will play game when You are going to be Lead Graphic Design Boss! 😉😁😁😁😁✌
Oh wow very cool, and I guess Batman and Darth Vader actually share some visual similarities too! 😆 Thanks for the encouragement as always ✌️😎✨
@@BJGpixel They do! They both are Dark Knights 🤣 😅
NIICE :D
I’d like to see you creating pixel art in procreate one day honestly
is that his freaking bat-credit card?
Is that the bat credit card by any chance?
6:29 - It's been a while since I saw a Batflick, but I think (emphasise that) '89 was the one where Bruce used like a tray or something as improvised cover? I 'unno. Whatever it is, it looks shiny, and I'm fairly, fairly certain Bruce can afford nice, shiny trays.
yes
6:30 the bat credit card? :p
Awesome video
can you make tutorial on how to make pokemon sprite?
honestly I love your work,I have a soft spot for sprites also there is this thing called megaman x engine check it out. Its a really cool fan made megaman x engine with amazing sprites.
YOU SHOULD TRY VOXEL ART
just a guess (not really): that thing is the dish that protected him from that bullet in that one scene...
"I always come bat" 0:21
The style looks like a inbeetween of return of the joker and the original batman famicom game
Im like 100% sure chucklefish or devolver would hire you.
did you cut out each color change or do you have hotkeys for it? the drawing section is clean.
I AM THE NIGHT
Is it the mirror from when the Joker first see's his face after the accident?
Guess on the item… Is it the shark repellent spray?
Oh! A bat credit card? That's what I think it is!
Is that item shark repelent?
Hi. I suscribe your channel. A great Like
Bat credit card, never leave home without it

6:28 Is that the Bat Credit Card?
What is that font you are using in your pixelart/intro??
Hello, first, i have to say, your channel is amazing, you are really talented and It's been motivating me to start pixel art ! But I have an issue on Photoshop, when I start putting on some pixels on the screen, they are always wide apart from a really thin space. I looked everywhere on Photoshop and on Internet but couldn't find anything. If anyone know about this issue, please let me know !
Hi here Yolomate Mugen creator and I say wow!!! incredible work! why not try put this in a NES hack version???? all the best!!
Is it that can of shark repellent from the batcopter
Vicki Vale's portfolio?
shark repellent my guess is that can
How can we create pixel art in PS at 100% zoom? Tried messing with pencil properties and custom grid but cant get it to "snap" to it

Is the item a Bat-Camera?
