Pixel Art Sprite Timelapse | Shizuka Mikazuki (Zom 100)

I've been watching Zom 100 and naturally want to see the characters in pixel form, so let's try with Mikazuki! I walk through the sprite creation process and share a few things about translating the character features into a pixelated design.

I've been doing pixel art for 2 months now and you've been such an inspiration to me. I've improved so much and your videos are part of that improvement, so thank you!

[areg]

the fact that he can express so many things by just single pixels is just so crazy

[cheesymcnuggets]

Pixel art is so cool! This show recently showed up in my recommended, I initially didn't pay it any attention but you have got me intrigued

[Stolkmen]

Always a joy when Brandon posts a video.

What a great character design! It's always fun seeing different takes on characters with an iconic element like that jacket 🤩 I think it worked well in your style of pixel art!

That was a neat detail on the nose and the shading on the further side of the face too, it does a good job at portraying that face profile 😁

the way the sprite evolved at the end is so cool. It turned out absolutely amazing, the colours are so nice and the black outline pixels are placed perfectly

[AbstraktNG]

I love Zom 100, and it’s cool how you made a sprite for it

[brandonballman]

Been watching for a while, I’ve taken a lot of your notes while I started on my journey a few months back. Thank you for being one of many mentors I’ve taken advice from on YouTube. You, pixel Pete, and saltoons. Finally able to catch these on release great video!

@BJGpixel thank you for your tutorials, for 2 years I have been interested in the work of "PixelArt" thanks to your videos.

[Darthvaldo]

Your process never fails to impress me. Your workflow is just so good to watch

[elbiggamehunter]

Been loving Zom 100, and was so glad to see you do a sprite from one of the characters on the show! Keep up the good work man, and thanks for sharing!

[furtrash]

sick sprite work as always, translated some busy character design down so masterfully, you never fail to impress!

[minorseven]

looks amazing as always. really interesting to be invited into part of your creation process

[Frostbyte-Game-Studio]

yaay another character design. i've grown to love these because of Brandon even tho character design scared the sh*t out of me previously

[siyuan]

I already like the design of shizuka but the most amazing part is that you managed to bring it back to pixel art in a completely clean way. Good job👍

[KuroNekoji]

I've watched a few pixel-art videos in the last days
But none of them really "catched" me. I always thought I'm missing something or don't quit understand something
But then you're channel glimpsed around the corner and I finally get it!
Thanks so much, your a HUGE inspiration for me right now!

[dcbandit]

She looks like a trainer sprite from Pokémon, like gen 3 or 4? Cool stuff!

[leblujeria]

Amazing man, I really appreciate your content!!!

[doma]

I really enjoy your channel a lot. :) Thanks for making these videos. :)
