Making of Sleen
🕑 Added 2015-04-08 19:22:58 +0000 UTC Hi new patrons! It's amazing that you're here. Here's a making of another fantasy-ish character for a cardgame mockup. Notice I'm using big forms and then refining them with tetris-piece shaped blotches of pixels. Each blotch of more than 1 pixel is called a pixel "cluster" in pixelart lingo. It's a good idea to have pixel clusters that read well, and tetromino shaped clusters are ideal, they lock together so well. As a sidenote, I'm using the very versatile and popular 32-color palette by Dawnbringer: http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16247 There's few things you can't make with these 32 colors. That's one reason why pixelart fascinates me, you can go in and have control of your image on the atomic level. Anyway, have fun and please let me know if you have any requests or questions
