Pixel Art Experimentation:

I have also been fascinated with pixel art, although i love to draw, i have never invested time within this media. Therefore, i thought this project would be the best opportunity for me to try this. In my spare time, I am a big gamer, i love games, such as halo, destiny, and gears of war, I love sci-fi. Therefore to maintain my enthusiasm throughout this pixel art attempt i thought i would attempt to draw my friends characters from destiny. Below is my first attempt at one of them.





























Lets be honest, this attempt was awful, however unlike a lot of my work that takes a lot of time to perfect, i knew exactly why this attempt did not go well. I attempted to create pixel art from a 3D image and that is definitely not the way to approach pixel art. Pixel art is made for a 2D format and trying to form an pixel image from a 3D image is not going to look good. Identifying this mistake this early is great as i do not need to waste anymore time trying to solve this issue, now i can jump straight back into design work and fix my mistake, although my new design is not ready to show yet, the next post will hopefully show a lot of progress on my pixel art experimentation.

The character below is my character and you can see that although it is pixel art, it shares no characteristics from the last design, they are all going to be completely different and i cannot wait to see how all three compare to each other once they are finished. As for my dragon, i was able to add a lot more detail to both the horns and face. I even added an additional two horns to bring the character more to life and give him a more interesting silhouette. As you can see the character also has antlers and wisps coming from his chin, this was heavily inspired from Haku the white dragon from the Studio Ghibli movie 'Spirited Away.' Although I te...
