don't mix resolutions
don't rip off superbrothers (done to death)
learn to draw before you start pixelling
use a program that's actually designed for pixel art (i.e. not mspaint)

Some of my recent work.
Fighting game boss type character, knight I never finished, Monster design I never finished, and a Monster Hunter Lagiacrus using Feraligatr's palette. Even ported it into Pokemon Emerald for shits.
A lot of my work is pretty rough and unfinished concepts.

dragon sprite: note that it's a bit clunkier than the pokemon. the aa on the outlines is part of the problem, notice that the pokemon sprite keeps a consistent 1px thickness and adjusts line weight by using lighter or darker colors for the line. A lot of it is pretty messy up close, try brushing up on cluster control for more intentionality/less scrambliness.

The KoF-style character is pretty good. The two in the middle are too unfinished to comment on, but I will say that it's probably best (in the case of the knight) to finish a rough sketch of the pose/anatomy before you start refining parts.

Glad people are actually posting their stuff. Here's a little Dota 2 study, five enemies five bounties.

Do most people free-hand Pixel art, is working on a layer above a drawing not done?

>>2482084

I used to free-hand but then I started working with layers, cleaning up rough drafts, allowing more room for error. It's a bit more complicated but the product is more smoothly created, if that makes sense.

>>2482084
Freehand- it always looks better

>>2482084
They're both done. The latter works best for large sprites. Smaller sprites, you'll need to compressand optimize things in ways that wouldn't be ideal in a non-sprite drawing, so having a trace-ref is likely going to limit you more than help.

>>2482107
Oh, cool.
>>2482130
Hmm. Makes sense.

Thanks, you three, for your time and patience.

>>2482962
>>2482963

Which is better?

>>2482989
Both are high quality stuff. You have to set up Photoshop to be able to make pixelart. GraphicsGale does everything out of the box as it's purely for pixel art.

>>2482989
In my experience, little ol' G'Gale is easier than big boy ph's.o.p. However, p'op is more features and can do all the same things with some laernig and setup.

If I remember correctly, Shwig went to art school (basically "git gud"). You will have to learn the fundamentals on top of which you'll be able to develop your own style. He draws in Paint Tool SAI using the Binary Pen tool, uses an Intuos 4 graphics tablet, and is well versed in the topics he illustrates.

At this point I'd say the important part is just that you keep making a bunch of stuff for the game, assuming you just started with pixel art.

Getting good at pixel art definitely takes time, but whatever level your art is at, I think it can still be charming, and I'm seeing that in >>2482972 for example.

I don't know what the rest of your guys' game looks like, but I'd say try to add as much character as you can or to just make things very apparent. As long as the player knows what's what, it should all be good. (also just from the two sprites I saw I think you're doing well so far!)

I really think oekaki should be phased out as a term, the pixel art community uses it in a much more restrictive sense than its actual meaning.

Had a good kek to that, I really hope you're serious.

Anyway, cute pixel art. Simple and classic.

>>2489942
Nice, I like your pixeled shapes, I think the form of the human was done very well. My favorite shapes are his shoes and his left hand. The pixeling can be a little smoother though I think. There's some banding issues for example, and some parts, like the pants/shoes come across as pillow-shaded. The skin tones could also have some more contrast to be clearer. Again though, the human shape and silhouette of it are very good. Pose is nice and expressive too, good stuff! Small note, I recommend saving in png format. Although it's barely noticeable here, somehow, there are artifacts in the image.

>>2489908
Love the textures on this. Lots of nice detail, I can really feel the suction cups, yick! (in a good way). I think the pixel technique is really good on this, I got no crits for that, but I do feel like the colors could contrast more. Really, just the yellows, I think the darkest tone should be darker, the others are fine.

I'd advise against mixing resolutions. The pigtato looks pretty good but the chunky pixels around it are distracting. Perspective looks off, I'd either go full iso or figure out where the lines need to be for proper 2-point perspective.

I've got a general question if anyone here can answer it.

How "good" do you guys think pixel artists need to be in order to make art for games? Basically, what are the skillsets game pixel artists should have/should work towards? (mostly in terms of pixel technique, but I wouldn't mind advice on collaborating, etc.). I assume animation is a must, for example, due to many sprites oftentimes having many many frames.

>>2491401
Not very good at all, really. There are a lot of people wanting to make indie games, like the pixel art style and have money to burn. It's quite a sad industry to get into, really. There is a lot of failure. You don't actually have to be that great to start out making art for games. If you can do something like >>2491385, that would be good enough. Nobody will notice the quadruple stairs besides elitists anyway. You do need contacts though. I got in via a friend.

>>2491401
the better you are, the better the offers you'll get. you can suck ass and get hired on for small/no budget indie games that go nowhere, or you can be awesome and make art for something that actually gains traction.

Even games with shitty pixel art can get popular though, if the rest of the game design is good. Plebs don't care/can't tell if it's good so long as they see big square pixels that give them nostalgic feels.

That is most definitely not pixel art. Pixel art is defined by delibarate placement of every pixel, your picture just appear to be downscaled from a higher resolution.

it's clearly not just a scaled down image. It's still super rough in areas and the jpg compression makes it look "chunkier" than it actually is. I'll be sure to save it as something better when I finish it.

When I start putting them in engine there's gonna be a lot lot more cleanup. But the image was created in the same way that castle gif was created.

How Can Pixel Art Be Real If Pixels Aren't Real?

>>2492840

The fact that you chosed to save the image in fucking jpg format alone tells me you're not exactly an authority on pixel art.

But you can stop lying to us now, anon. It's so clearly a scaled down image it's not even funny. Those horrible jaggies, the white outlines, the chunky pixel clusters... Looks like you took someone else's art, erased the background (and did a bad job at doing so) and scaled it down.

>>2493058
>you're not exactly an authority on pixel art.
I literally never claimed to be unlike you.
>white edges
From the magic wand because I changed the white backgroud to black last second. Was too tired to make a proper mask.

Good god are you retarded.

>>2493125

The white edges are a result of anti-aliasing against the white background. Anti-aliasing is something that does not happen by default when creating pixel art but has to be done deliberately.

But ok, I'll humor you.What is your process? Looks like it's based on a 3d render with some painting on top. Then badly scaled down.

>>2492840
It's exactly how strawman works. You made up arguments that had nothing to do with what I said:
>all pixel art must look exactly the same cell shaded look
Has nothing to do with why your image is not pixel art. Decent looking game assets, but not pixel art.

I know it's probably hard for you to read but give this a shot. I used the magic wand. What is that option up there? Just... try your hardest.

>>2493195
It's a mess. There's some pixel level control, but overall the pixels are just incidental. It could BECOME pixel art, if you spent many hours cleaning up and refining what you've got here.

also be a little less butthurt, you're getting way too upset over this.

>>2493202
Again, what the fuck is "pixel art" to you people.

>>2493195

I actually like it, so don't get me wrong I'm not "hating" on your art at all but I still don't think it's pixel art. It's just low resolution art. You may be using *some* pixel art techniques but the overall end result is not what I would consider pixel art. Reminds me of what was put out in the mid to late 90's, aesthetics wise. Back then they started to use 3d and rotoscoping a lot in games.

My point about anti-aliasing is that if you're drawing with a brush that as automatic AA, then it's safe to say you're not creating pixel art. As the other anon below says, it could very well become pixel art with a lot of work. Yeah I'm very anal about pixel art so guilty as charged, but I'm not shitposting.

>>2493215

It's simple. For something to be pixel art, every pixel needs to be deliberately placed and not incidental, such as what happens when you draw with a brush that as automatic anti-aliasing.

>>2492692
it seems pretty unnecessary desu

41KB, 320x240px

>>2493227
Most of the pixels, anyway. It's practically impossible for larger, more detailed works to have 100% optimum pixel placement, there will always be a few strays. But you're right in that the focus is on intentional placement of individual pixels, which is why brushes and tools that add tons of colors/gradients/blur/smudge are generally frowned upon. It's fine to use them, but you'd have to do a lot of cleanup afterward.

oh you mean the pencil tool in photoshop? That I use set to 1px and no opacity settings? Where I had painted in all the colors and gradients without any "brushes". I would have create the same image in mspaint (minus a few helpful thinks like layers) Here is the official definition of pixel art, which is literally how I created my assets.

Pixel art is a form of digital art, created through the use of raster graphics software, where images are edited on the pixel level.[1] Graphics in most old (or relatively limited) computer, console, graphing calculator and mobile games are mostly pixel art.

>>2493236
cellshaded, cartoony, completely finished game that still has a few anti-aliased lines.

that's what defines pixel art to you.

When showing, keep it at 2x or 1x the sizes, if people want to see it up close they can load it in a program and zoom in.
The animation at the face and of the skirt doesn't do much and is more just flashing pixels.
Differentiate the groups that move more or leave it out.

the figure is too blocky, you can have a simple style while maintaining a little elegance. there's banding in the hair. the relationship between the figures and the flowers is murky. the structure of the flowers is also uncertain.

other angles just looked off to me for some reason. Either they were too low or too high and gave me this really weird feeling when I looked at it. I play on adding a bit of anti-aliasing on any of the lines like that so counter the jaggyness.

An eye is the cliche thing for a first drawing. A gun is the cliche for pixel art

Most of you have the same tendency of making your "sprites" way too large, while at the same time not detailed enough to justify that size.

I get the feeling a lot of the people with a boner for pixel art are too young to remember the time when you actually had to make all your digital art with the limitations those old computers had.

Would probably do good to many of you to load up Deluxe Paint in an Amiga emulator and adapt to the limitations like old fags had to.

10KB, 411x288px

>>2501385
The brightest color was basically white, which is something I'd generally save just for specular high lights (note that I didn't use any white in the sprite edit). I gave the skin a greenish tint for a sickly, snakish look. I reused these colors in the snake body, in order to unify the palette a bit instead of having completely separate color ramps for different sections. The face had a lot going on, so I simplified the forehead and erased the nose. I also reduced the size of the ear to more natural proportions. Don't get overly concerned with details on small sprites, it's often best to leave them out and keep it simple. Otherwise you'll have nostrils the size of eyballs and poor readability. I detected a case of hidey-hands, either because you're not confident enough to draw arms/hands or because you feel they are too complex for such a small sprite. Doing something with the arms gives her more of a personality. The snake body bends awkwardly at places, making it feel as if it's flat rather than round, like a tapeworm rather than a snake. The outline color looked weird around the hair, since it's nearly the same value as the darkest hair color, so I darkened (and saturated) the outline and lightened the hair a bit. I wasn't really sure what was going on with the hairstyle, so I made it more symmetrical, but ignore this if it's not what you're going for. I also defined the breasts and neck, and slimmed the shoulders to make them more feminine.

>>2501690

>Just because something doesn't fit the norm of that media doesn't mean it isn't created in that same method.
But it isn't the same method. That's the point. Same medium, completely different approaches.

I'm not confusing style with medium, but I think you're confused about pixel art. It isn't a medium unto itself, digital art is the medium. If we were to define it by the medium alone, then all digital paintings would be pixel art. Pixel art is distinct from the broader field of digital art because it is the application of a particular method to that medium. The method behind pixel art predates computers (pic related, 18th century), but does not itself have a name.

But just scribbling with pixels is not pixel art. The pixels are incidental at this point, just as they are with regular digital art, or digital photographs. The conscious and extensive manipulation of the image at the level of the individual pixel is what defines the pixel art. And before you object, this does not mean that one must place pixels one at a time or refrain from any particular tools- it's about the end result much more than the process you took to get there.

>>2502878

If you approach it by painting each pixel by itself it's pixel art. That's all there is to it.

My first go at actual pixel art. Had some time to kill at work and just kinda ad-libbed it. Any good?

>>2503211
Not really though. You don't literally have to place each pixel individually. It's fine and common to use the line tool, or bucketfill, or to sketch things out with a larger brush then refine from there. You can use any process you want so long as you control the result.

>>2503213
not bad. a little busy, readability could be greatly improved by thinking more about pixel clusters and thus simplifying some of the more confusing areas like the knees.

>>2503211

But this >>>2499437
is obviously just painted with a aliased brush. It's not pixel art, atleast not yet.

>>2503220
what? There is no anti-aliasing goin on in that. MAYBE the planets/text but everything clearly isnt.

>>2503217
To better say it, if the painting is so small it needs to be painted on the pixel level is pixel art. Painted without the assistance of the computer for gradations/anti_aliasing/scaling.

>>2503232

Aliased as opposed to anti-aliased. Just because you are drawing with the pencil tool in photoshop or any other graphic software that allows aliased brushes doesn't make it pixel art. You have to carefully design and arrange the placement of the pixels, not just sketch them out loosely. There is no pixel level control in that image. It's just a sketch.

>>2503247
Then it's bad pixel art.

But it's still pixel art. There are obvious sections that use controlled pixel placement for dithering in that image.

>>2503291
No, there isn't a single thing resembling pixel art in that image. It looks like crudely drawn MSPaint.

>>2503178
In regular art, pixels are intended to be mathematical points. You can apply any resampling filter to it and it will still make sense. In pixel art, pixels are intended to be squares/rectangles. If you think of them as points then there is deliberate aliasing. Hinted fonts are a kind of pixel art. The intention is what matters, not the technique.

Any image editor should do nearest neighbor scaling. You seem to have drawn a 300x300 image and then scaled it nearest neighbor to 375x375. Luckily this is a non-destructive edit and you can scale it back. Look how much cleaner it is at the correct size.

I don't find it practicable to change colors / hue etc in aseprite. If for example X color I used ends up not being exactly what I wanted and I'd like to lightly alter it to try things out, etc I mean. On SAI or photoshop it's really easy to do this, but on aseprite I have a hard time - am I the only one?

I really enjoy the program all around but this is my biggest complaint so far. I also dislike having to go on SAI or PS once my work is complete to do final adjustments. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong or missed on something though.

It does, but not for the whole picture, or at least I haven't found a way to edit the hue / saturation of my whole work at once through aseprite.

Sorry I expressed myself badly, I'm kinda new to digital art as a whole.

I've got a question, how good do I have to become as an artist to get into pixel art?
I'm still a beginner and only started drawing a week ago but my main interests have always been pixel and concept art
How can I assess my skill level and if its appropriate for me to get into digital art in general?

>>2504723
Opinion from someone who's only been studying art seriously for 4 months now : I see pixel art as a medium, so your question is rather vague, I'd say it depends on what you'd like to do / your goals.

If you'd like to do simple sprites/tiles and such (think old school games/RPGs) you could start doing those without much efforts. If on the other hand you'd like do draw really good pieces like most of the stuff you can see here >>>/wsg/970300 then the answer is rather obvious : you'll need to study plenty of things, like painting / color values, etc. Same goes for characters. Unless you only wish to draw small characters (think cute character sprites from 2D Pokémon games) you could learn how to this right now, but if you'd like to do more elaborate characters you'll need to study and learn anatomy, etc.

Either way I don't think there's something such as bad practice so get a program and start getting used to pixel art by doing all sorts of tutorials as you study things related to your art goals on the side.

>>2504723

Or do you mean something that will let you scale down rough sketches while keeping their detail, and then let you draw the sprite over it? I think you can do that with Sai, but I don't know what else has that function. But I imagine you can work around it with anything that can handle both vectors and rasters.

>something that will let you scale down rough sketches while keeping their detail
If you're making big (eg. fighting game style) pixel art this can work, but for smaller pixel art it's better to start as pixel art, not convert anything. Consider the reason why Mario has a mustache. The character was specifically designed so it would look good with very few colors and small size.

Someone explain to me the difference between "pixel art" and just painting something, then shrinking it down so much it becomes pixelated. Because I've done DOOM sprites, and I just paint them like normal, then shrink and expand them.

The dark pixels under Mario's nose are both his mustache and the outline of his nose at once. He wears a hat because the brim only needs one pixel height to look good. In pixel art every pixel has a purpose. The lower resolution you work at the more autistic you need to be.

It's funny that pixel art needs to be defined like that now

When in reality it was just how artists had to fight the limitations of the hardware back in the 80's and early 90's.

If your sprite can't be larger than 16x16 pixels and you're limited to using 4 colours you have no choice but to make pixel art.

So yeah if you make pixel art with modern computers then it's about purposely "being autistic" i.e. imposing strict limits on yourself like how many pixels and colours you can use.

there are no rules on how many colors you can use. use as many as are needed. low color counts just aid in palette cohesion. there are also no rules on how many pixels you can use, but once you exceed a certain size, it becomes unfeasible to complete the piece, given how tedious a medium pixel art is.

Try telling that to the graphics hardware of a Commodore 64.

less a rule than a law, you couldn't break it if you wanted to. the context here is contemporary pixel art though.

Because someon falsely claimed that modern pixel art is about arbitrary color and palette size restrictions. Follow along.

>>2506752
You mean like in the picture you posted?

What is it about then if not restricted dimensions and palette sizes? I'm genuinely confused now.

>SNES had 32k+ colors.
>b-b-but commodore 64 i-is the only system to have TRUE pixel art
You're a faggot.
>>2506778
because systems that use pixel art have been capable of a full color spectrum since the 80s.

Do you dumbasses not get it yet? if the painting or whatever requires ithe artist to blow the image up 500% and manipulate individual pixels to get the desired effects or details it's pixel art. An image can be 1920x1080 and still be pixel art. It can be realistic and still be pixel art.

>>2506790
Are you honestly saying SNES doesn't have hardware limitations? Even in screenmodes where you had a large palette you were limited in resolution in all of these systems. The resolution was the biggest limiter in what you could do, that's why pixel art is usually small.

Who said a large piece of pixel art can't be pixel art? You're just making up your own strawmen now. You can't be this fucking autistic.

>>2506790
>It can be realistic and still be pixel art.
Only if it's depicting Lego.

>>2506792
I was clearly talking about colors. The SNES was not limited by the number of colors it could display. Other consoles that came out in the late 80s had pretty good color abilities as well.

Why are you such a fucking retard? Is reading hard for you? Have you graduated highschool yet?

Are you autistic?

>>2506825
>What is it about then if not restricted dimensions and palette sizes
And this translates to "there is a divine rule that states that dimensions and palette sizes MUST be restricted to the following..." ? How?

In contemporary pixel art, the artist chooses which restrictions he places on himself. These restrictions are still important, without them, there is no need for pixel level control or any of the shit you faggots sperg about, and you might as well just a scale a photo and call it done.

Do you not understand how to read? This is just another way of saying ->

>The rules defining pixel art are restricting dimensions and palette.
>If that isn't the case, then what does define pixel art.

Are you such a fucking autistic faggot you can't just admit you were wrong? You literally posted "Who said a large piece of pixel art can't be pixel art. You're just making up your own strawmen now."

When (I'm assuming this post is yours >>2506778 ) you just said that pixel art is about restricting dimension and palette. Which means if it's over a certain size or contains too many colors disqualifies a piece of art as pixel art.

>These restrictions are still important, without them, there is no need for pixel level control or any of the shit you faggots sperg about

No, these restrictions you are talking about (which, I guess you are saying them now? The fuck is wrong with you) are not what make pixel art pixel art. Consoles that require pixel art have not been limited by color since the 80s so limiting your color palette isn't an issue. Not only that, but resolution isn't an issue either since you can display an entire Super Metroid map in a single image. And literally everyone agrees Super Metroid is made up of pixel art. If putting together multiple pixel art sprites into a single image disqualifies it as being pixel art that is some stupid fucking logic.

So what is pixel art? The literal definition is "Pixel art is a form of digital art, created through the use of raster graphics software, where images are edited on the pixel level." and most people that make it define it the same way. Nothing about colors or dimensions. Just the fact pixels have to be carefully manipulated and purposeful in their placement

You're so fucking retarded you can't even remember shit you've said and constantly changing your argument while at the same time denying you did.

I'm not even sure what you guys are arguing about anymore as if I'm not mistaken everyone agreed on what pixel art is.

>>2506847
The graphics in that Super Metroid map still follow the rules and restrictions of the hardware it was made for.

>You literally posted "Who said a large piece of pixel art can't be pixel art. You're just making up your own strawmen now."

>When (I'm assuming this post is yours >>2506778 (You) ) you just said that pixel art is about restricting dimension and palette. Which means if it's over a certain size or contains too many colors disqualifies a piece of art as pixel art.

The error which you continue to make because you are too fucking dense is that you read "restricting dimensions and palette" as "there exists a universal standard by which something can be defined as pixel art". There is no universal rule on which dimensions can be allowed in pixel art, and yet every pixel artist chooses some limits for themselves (if there is no hardware choosing it for them)

That does not invalidate it as pixel art, and neither it is in contradiction with my argument which has been consistent since the beginning.

It could perhaps be argued that the "purest" form of pixel art is the kind that is designed with a specific hardware's limitations in mind, but I never made that argument, you just think I did, for some reason. My original post was merely a musing about the state of things.
