So glad to see new content from you, Kiwii. This was a solid little tutorial and a nice showcase of your individual process.

One thing I feel is missing is I'd like to see a 2-3 second side-by-side comparison of your source image against your finished project (similar to the preview, without the blur + overlay), so your audience can fully appreciate the artistic choices you made and where you ended up.

Such a cool concept for a video and the final piece is beautiful :D My favourite villager is Alice uwu

I've struggled making building in pixel art so this is super helpful. Definitely going to get more comfortable with layers going forward

hi kiwii it has been a long time since you have uploaded and i have an idea for a video that you can make: making a character in pixel art. Keep up the good work love ya :>

[goatsnightmare]

Keep on thr videos ! You will grow fast. Make pixel art animation tutorial video please

[buddygamesdev]

I do not actually own a switch, and when I was younger I never played animal crossing on my wii or DS, so sadly I have no idea on what my favourite villager is. Great video and art though!!

Kiwii: *How 'bout I do anyway and make the art awesome?!*

Edit: I just realized the video is hours before my comment and youtube just sent the notification for me –_–

Has to be Raymond. My love for heterochromia might make that decision biased tho 😅

[smolse]

Congrats, it looks great. But the shading stye used isn't exactly realistic. If the sun is on the top right corner, there shouldn't be shading on the right part of Ozzie and the things around him. That type of shading is called ''pillow shading''. It would be better for it to only have shading on the sides that don't enter in contact with the light. Just wanted to point that out.

5:15 how did you get my search history??
