A few years ago I worked as an auditor at a hotel and had to post employee mistakes on a bulletin board. When there were no mistakes, i would draw something on the form. Usually I would do a pig face thing. But, for a short time, I did a series of winter/christmas pics.
Nothing original, just googled stuff and re-drew it onto the form. maybe 4 colors of Highilighters and sharpie were all I had. That grinch one took me like 3 tries.
Wat is het?!
i love real life pixel art
EDIT: Added new version below: Higher energy ending!
I tweak things endlessly so this is probably not final, but it’s close! I’m very excited to release this soon.
Also photo-sensitivity warning – there are some flashing colors/lights!
excellent music/narration sync
do you think it’d make sense to raise the energy level when they logo appears? Watching this, I was strongly reminded of the excellent intro to Red Alarm:
man that part where the green diamond expands and it looks like a circuit board is SO SLICK
also the way you do the year is perfectly timed i think
ooh, yeah that’s a nice intro.
I’m VERY new to music and it’s quite trial and error and draining for me, but I’ll see what I can do.
Essentially “higher energy” would be another melody track coming in + more drums, yeah?
Yeah, definitely more drums, maybe where you stop the melody, you shift into a higher energy one. This is from someone who’s written only a handful of (much worse) tracks than the one in your video; I can only evaluate the emotional journey, the cool slink-down-the-steps mood of the intro as news goes from bad to worse, and the logo treatment that begs for a kick-ass: Let’s do it! accompaniment
I used to tape a piece of Bristol board to my tablet to help with this. That combined with one of those uh…more gritty? nibs did a pretty decent job of replicating the feel of drawing on paper and replicating the kind of line I’d get using a crow quill.
I don’t use that nowadays cuz I’m mostly doing pixel art and when I do line art I’m not chasing the ideal line like I used to but hey it’s worth a shot if you got some old paper lyin’ around.
Alright, higher energy attempt:
yeah yeah!
Thanks for the input; I do like this version much better!
one of my favorite parts of creative work is doing the best you can and then getting little nudges that push it even better, and then internalizing what you’ve learned
