PixelArt Adventures

You know you really don’t want to do something if, almost working project, enters a stage that requires polish. In that moment a decision has to be made and you either continue (pouring months of work) or you switch to something else.

One of the things that always fascinated me is pixel art.

Since I can’t paint I might as well… pixel paint? But since this is going badly as well, what I’m doing is copying other, more respectable people.

Below is a screen made for Thimbleweek Park by Mark Ferrari. By default Mark used black and white only to later on add color (coincidentally this is a technique from the medieval ages as well).

My… masterpiece. One can really see the hand of the master here.
