(apologies if this thread is redundant, didnt see any pixel art specific threads in here soo) pixel artists of rgt show us your work !
i used to hate doing any type of pixel art purely out of how tedious it can be, but after getting into GB studio development late last year its been growing on me a lot. I also picked up Aseprite around the same time which totally changed my outlook on pixel pushing, its definitely not required for pixel art but having a dedicated art program for it makes the process really relaxing. been getting into the habit of putting on a random 4 hour long youtube video while i hack away at whatever piece im working on. has me feeling like an old lady playing solitaire all day but when im done i have cool art :D ( not to disparage solitaire loving old women, love you grandma)
questions for other pixel artists:
- do you use a tablet or mouse? i thought tablet would be the easiest approach but for smaller works i find mouse + line tool work best for me (all the pieces above are like 90% line tool 10% dithering)
- what program/s do you use
- do you use a color palette or do you just feel it out? all my works are monochrome so GB studio can interact with the art properly but i'm also not that confident with color picking so i stick to retro palettes mostly
anyways thanks for coming to my ted talk, post pixel art pls this is urgent
