This whole series is super impressive. I find it really hard to step away from the layer-by-layer workflow, but this looks amazing. The tree in particular is incredible

[saultoons]

Amazing! There's so much going on yet it still feels cohesive, gives the place a lot of life. It was really interesting hearing about the colour selections in the tree, not going with the obvious choice and defining those rules for yourself I think really helped that cohesion too. The way you make your videos and explain every detail is really inspirational, it's like I'm stepping inside your mind through that decision-making process and it makes me want to create something too. Absolutely perfect to watch as I eat breakfast, but definitely wishing I had a juice from this place to go with it. I wonder if they'd have any strange fruits there too... Thanks for sharing Brandon! :D

The orb kinda makes me feel like it's one of those signs, like the pharmacy signs. Everywhere in the world it's the same. So you can find a pharmacy.

This video is so inspirational. I just recently got into pixel art, and I found that I am extremely passionate about it. I hope one day to be as good as this, it's just amazing to watch it all come together.

Dear Brandon,

I encountered your channel only today. Needless to say, I'm subscribed.

I don't know how to explain how much _delight_ these videos bring me - I squealed out loud multiple times this morning, often upon seeing the final animation, but occasionally just noticing things like _oh my gosh look how he drew that TREE_ and absolutely losing my mind. I love pixel art, though I'm not very good at it myself yet. You've inspired me to possibly dive back into it in the near future.

So I just wanted to offer my one word of encouragement, as a random stranger on the internet: thanks. I love you and your channel! You're a really cool person and an amazing artist. May you always have the time, motivation, and inspiration to turn your wild ideas into something you can share with the world.

this piece is really cool. i love the "electronic nature" aesthetic.

[brandonbailey]

One of my favorite parts of your videos is getting to see you improve and refine your workflows over time! Plus, you describe how you came to these conclusions, and it makes for some really interesting content, even if I don't really think I'd ever get into pixel art. Great job as always!!

[diegomedeiros]

Amazing piece! Great use of colors, i never thought "earthy" colors could make a cyberpunk vibe. And is very relaxing.

[TonyTylerDraws]

This is my favorite series you do. They all feel like they could be part of the same cyberpunk game

[BustyCatbot]

Your cyberpunk stuff feels oddly comforting, like the calm in the storm of the dreadful dystopia vibes of cyberpunk, an oasis to relax and forget about the world around you for a bit

[razeblitz]

I watched one of your videos last week, I have now watched all of them. So high quality and so easy to watch!

[JustToSaveYou]

The one thing I've learned from watching these video's, is that I need to separate out the different components on more layers so I don't have to keep re-drawing them.

[Toimen]

yess!! I love the way you design buildings!

[CKTDanny]

Another fine addition to my fav series here!! 😂

Lots of really cool visuals in this one! The way the tree is shaded is very satisfying and I actually really like the robot with the apron design. 😁 The cloth over these mechanical components just feels like a cool aesthetic!

Also, the serene vibes feel pretty unique to this piece! I wish I could have a swirling juice reservoir on top of my room - an unlimited supply of my fav soda or something would be wonderful 😋

[DadVader]

Yay! Sunday coffee time! 🤘😍🤘
Update: Awesome as alywas. So many details in such a "small" pictures. I love your attention to detail 🔥

[yotan]

If I'm ever feeling overwhelmed or anxious, your videos are a seriously relaxing thing to turn to

[cbubs_art]

Yes! I love starting my day with a new upload from you.

[flamentnagel]

this video kinda perfectly showcases the high points of your style; the vivid colors and your tendency to add a lot of details gives everything a very cozy, lived-in feeling, like these settings (especially these little storefronts) are places people frequent, and a safe happy spot to rest. combined with your narration and the calm, simple way you explain your processes, these videos feel really inviting to watch, and make these elaborate and detailed pieces feel a lot easier to break down and work through for everyone watching at home who wants to make pictures out of tiny squares, lol

[LEROILAPIN]

This was such a delight to watch! I can’t get enough of your videos.

[cuboidgamez]

Holy this entire speedpaint makes me inspired to draw at 1am
