The "Main Character's Wife Died But He's a Comedic Actor So Maybe It's Okay To Still Laugh" Starter Pack
Bonus -- experimented with making my own color palette. Took a 64 color one and reduced it to 32 with some adjustments. Art is hard! Props to artists.
Today (Day 7) I made this background fragment with Chrono Trigger as reference.
Day 6 -- another character exploration. Isn't blurry on my computer :/
Day 5 I did an exploration for some astronauts. Or are they shaolin monks? We'll never know.
Just kidding. I just tried to get object size right and do it from memory, NOT using reference. On day 4 I decided to go for the full 8 frames. Still need to go back and paint it.
A tutorial I watched said to trace Megaman. So that's what I did! And it looked just like the Megaman I made out of colored Wool in Minecraft 10 years ago because I copied a screenshot. On day 2 I tried to create my own character, using Anna from FF4 as inspiration.
It wasn't for New Years or anything but I've been doing pixel art for ~30 minutes a day every day in January. Thought I'd share some of my foray.
Streaming more Final Fantasy 2 on Twitch. I just met this mysterious man. Come save the world with me right now! www.twitch.tv/themattlondon
Here's an image of the skin. Still figuring out how gifs work in Bluesky.
Basically, if everyone rates your product a 6, no one will buy it. But if half the people rates it a 2, and the other half rates it a 10, it'll be a huge hit. I see this over and over with design. I also love the discussion these products create. What do you think?
