This is really good! How did you start getting into big panels like that? I’ve never understood how to do pixel art in any way that isn’t small and tiled. Everytime I try to do the sailor moon challenge I just… draw from the image and it’s just a bag fascimile instead of nice and unique like this.
honestly my art process is often just shooting at the wall and getting ideas off of it. I was just fucking around drawing her with a pixel brush, oekaki-style, just like, not even drawing it seriously, ready to close the window and not save it, but then as I kept drawing I had the idea “hey I should downsize this and then polish it up a bunch, take it into some old japanese computer pixel-art direction” and that’s how I arrived at it.
here’s another big pixel-art I did a long time ago that I’m still proud of:
Maybe that should be your next self-imposed challenge! Get a bunch of PC-88 visual novels as references and try doing that! Whenever I realize “oh I haven’t ever done that”, I try to set that as my next art goal

Getting back into art with drawing my characters from some campaigns
That last one I didn’t use a B&W layer to check values and I was real sloppy with the photobashing because I just wanted to finish the piece but considering I haven’t digitally painted in like half a decade I’m pretty happy with it

So… I’ve been used Tiled Map Editor for square tilemaps. I’m getting some funky layering issues because Tiled’s kinda more about flatness than verticality. Has anyone used a proper iso tiling engine?

So I’ve been going pretty crazy making pixelart lately. Mostly it’s for tileable sets. Would anyone be interested in helping me make maps with these? I’m looking for feedback on
- How easy it is to use the tiles to make maps
- What new tiles/palettes would people want

It takes so long to make decent iso maps. I think I’ve been at this for 2 hours just making hills.

I downloaded your tile set you posted upthread and started messing with it in gimp but I barely use gimp so I’m having to learn how to use it to manipulate images. I should probably watch a youtube video or something. What do you use when working with tile sets?
