Digital Pixel Art

[Dagfinn]

Ehh, I'm trying to one a day or every other day...
Here is the last few I've done.
If you have a request feel free to ask, most of my ideas are throw away. I'd rather make something someone wants.


Early Morning





Phone Booth





Lucario [Request from a friend]





Bench [???]





Rocky Water





Demi-Girl





RPN [The website palette works great for a website, but it's kinda ugly on it's own]

WOOOAAAHHH   This is so super cool! I especially love the phone booth. 


Where did you learn these amazing skills? Also, what program do you use and can you show how you work? I really want to get into pixel art myself but don't even know where to start ;A;

Thanks! That's one of my favorites too, I made it a button





Sorry for potato, my phone takes bust photos.

Where did you learn these amazing skills?

I'm self taught I guess? I mean I looked at a lot of pixel art tutorials online and most of them where so complex I didn't understand or so simple they were useless...
Mostly I just look at other peoples art and mimic what I like about it, without being identical.

Also, what program do you use and can you show how you work? I really want to get into pixel art myself but don't even know where to start ;A;

I use GIMP, it's free for Mac and PC. So whatever you're on it should work.
As for where to start... I can't say specially what is best for everyone [or anyone]. However, personally I looked at old video game sprites. They're simple and small.
Amethyst [SU]


Ghost


Or if you don't like that, draw things that are simple and familiar. Things that are basic in colour and shape, just so you get a hang of things.


Hello Kitty [Requested by a friend]





Steven Tag [SU]





Stevonnie [SU]/[First thing I drew]

Thank you so much for the info! I'll give it my best shot   I might start by using my normal art as a base just to get the hang of proportions and such...


Also looking forward to see what other awesomeness you create!

I've seen some people take their own sketches, size them down and continue from there.
I don't do that, but it might work pretty well for you.

My gosh! These are awesome! If i may, if you are still taking requests could I request my character, k.d.?


Here's a pic, K.D.

 

[The Mechanist]

I knew when I clicked this thread I was gonna like what I saw ^-^

 

[Lord Pug]

If you are still taking requests....would you do a dapper-looking pug like in my profile picture?

 

[Dusky]

omg. Um... How do you feel about tentacles? XD


'cuz I might have a request for my high fantasy Lust demi-demon thing.


It's PG I swear

I love this character, it would be fun to draw.

I could do that [probably, lol]

I might be able to do that... If I had a reference of some kind I would be able to give a more solid answer xD

 

[Dusky]

Oof, I don't have reference pictures, would a written description suffice?

 

[yonmita rae]

If you'd like we can do an art trade, I like to give back if i can! Plus this thread is too awesome!!!

I've never done an art trade before, that would be fun!

Anything would be helpful, ha

 

[yonmita rae]

Yea, me either, but I'm basically giving  an return art piece for you doing my character, so if you'd like I can do any of your oc's if you'd like


Also just for reference that pic of K.D. would be an example of my drawing type

I haven't drawn a lot of OCs yet xD
Actually I think only two of my images so far are OCs. The "Early Morning" and "Bench"...
I should start drawing more OCs though, ha.

 

[yonmita rae]

Lol , well truthfully it's any piece you'd like or a description of anyone you want drawn

Your pixel art is wonderful! Do you mind if I ask what size canvas you were using when you drew the first 7-8?   I've finally got my brush settings figured out, but I'm never satisfied with the size of my canvas... 


Btw your other drawings are great, too!

Most of the time I do a 100x100 canvas and then size it up to 400x400. There are some slight differences here or there, but that's my general go to when it comes to size.

 

[budgieboo]

these look beautiful~

 

[Tommy M]

These look great

 

[Aster]

MM that gemsona tho

 

[ewolf20]

It's alright but pretty good on my part.

 

[Fable]

Oh, lovely pixel art, I must say!  I've always wished I could do something like that.  Keep it up!

 

[Dagfinn]

Haha, apologies for saying I'd do some requests... And then never doing them xD

I get distracted easily.

These are amazing! You have a really great eye for complementary colors. Phone booth especially caught my eye
