Pixel Art and Distractions and Stuff
8 years ago
General
I told myself I'd finish some of the things I have waiting.
I told myself I would... but then over the weekend I spent a lot of time working on the SV_Battlers for my RPG. Hmm...
Well, it's not a total loss. I posted some of my progress. Which, it's really the first pixel art I've committed to since... since I worked on an RPG in high school, half my life ago.
Oh, here's the picture I'm talking about: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/26334200/
My girlfriend saw it and thought of an interesting idea of taking the image and cross-stitching it. Then she wondered if there was some kind of market for people who'd want their characters pixelated in some kind of action pose, then cross-stitched. Of course, the cross-stitching would take some time, (as it's not a slow process) and it would be shipped, but it seems interesting.
So... wait... what was I saying?
Ah yes, so I need practice with pixel art. Mostly because instead of reading up on tutorials and watching videos about how to do it, I just made up my own method, and it seems to work in one way or another. However, those three frames of Kreyshi took me about five hours. Which, of course is a bit longer than I'd like. Meaning I need to work on making it faster.
So I might offer some freebies of this. Characters pixelated and poised for battle!
Who'd be interested in that?
For that matter, would anyone be interested in a commission type that includes three frames of a combat-ready character, or character action (like punching or kicking)?

Doesn't even have to be about this, just lemme know you're still alive. I don't hear enough outta you guys.

I use to do some pixel animations (WAY back on the early days of my first account) and while it was a long time of work, it was fun and rewarding!
I suggest offering more than just battle poses, maybe something better for cross-stitching. Maybe a head with some flowers, a little bit of text, or a small bit of decorations to make it all look nice.
I have been trying to get into cross stitching as well, but I can never finish off a string correctly, and the back always looks like a mess, but I'm learning! So yeah, it takes FOREVER to do sometimes, haha. but it's gonna look nice in a little frame (which I can suggest including as an "add on" to mark up the price a little and make things more convenient for the commissioner). They won't be cheap, but they won't all go to waste!
A passing regard and thought about cross-stitching. :p
Perhaps you weren't understanding the action pose part of the pixel art however, because I'm talking about battlers. As these are what I require the skill for, it is necessary that they all be action and combat pose based.
But I'd be more than happy to see other characters in the pixel form! It sounds interesting!
The only problem with those, is that the furaffinity ones are limited to 100 pixels. The pixel art that I've been doing, is more like 128.
Then again, I was thinking about making one for myself. At least, to try out.
What Team Rocket version? I'm trying to imagine the white on white.

Last time I had invested any interest in Pokemon was the release of blue, and the first season here in the US.
