You made PIXEL ART and I fixed it

You sent in your video game artwork, and I gave my honest feedback on how I'd improve them! Critiques, improvements, tips, strategies -- lots of information that will help make you a better pixel artist!

I make content on indie games and game development!

Maybe the real pixel art was all the friends we made along the way

I really like the support beams going through the entire height of the cabin :D
its also rlly cool to see your skills in action and the tips you have to share
great video! <3

That first one is a perfect example of what I want a lot of indie games to do, or even stuff like Octopath. Ditch the super complex shading and 20 colors on one sprite, keep it simple.

No idea if this has been said before but instead of zooming in and out all the time to see pixelart from different "distances" you can just enable a preview window in most art software with support for pixelart. :)

I appreciate how this isn't a complete redraw. It really shows how subtle changes can make a huge difference.

hi Juniper - a quick way to reduce the colours in the first sprite would be to use colour replace with some tolerance added. would have been much quicker and more foolproof

[laurentmarcoux]

Found out about your channel through the undertale video but I think this one deserves to be your most viewed. Very fun to watch throughout

[gerax]

NOOO, you can't critisize my work and.. Wait, that looks nice!

Pixel art was my intro to gaming on the DS with Pokemon Black Version 2. I'm glad to see what once was a hardware limitation has developed into a style with a distinct vibe and identity that's still being used and expanded upon today :D

I wanna learn how to do pixel art now 😭

[jampleygames]

Thanks for the tips, I needed some help :)

[NeroTheAngel]

you are pretty funny and I think you are really friendly. keep up the nice work :)

[Nicklefritz]

I've heard it said about pixel art: every pixel must be intentional and serve a purpose.

I feel like I learned a lot from this video, looking forward to more like it!

I keep seeing your Font video in my suggestions. I look up pixel art, click on this video. Same channel. I think I'm going to go ahead and watch your font videos.

Truly just shows, keeping a simple color palette and shades does wonders. Unless you're trying to put finer details on something, you really don't NEED to have more than maybe 4 shades for a one specific color, in my opinion. Probably really depends on the type of Bits you're going for too; like, 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit have different ranges.

6:45 that's literally just to see like number measurements

[tojo]

This is the one thing I just can't do in game design (in addition to many others ofc)

[johnblue]

She fixel the pixel and I go subscribe quixel.

[tranceraisch]

I see everywhere to limit the color palette and don't use tons of shades of the same color, and keep it clean and little to no noise. I'm brand new to pixel art, but I'm using a 16x16 pixel to a meter sizing, and keeping low noise makes my art look so washed out and flat. Is this advice universal, or is it generally okay to use more colors if your pixel density is lower?

I tried to learn once but gave up 😅 it’s so much harder than it looks!!
