Hi! I have recently got into pixel art as I have been learning to develop games and I've been following you for a bit and I have some questions!
How do you create coherent color palettes? I always find myself tweaking it and I'm sure it takes practice but your colors always look perfect, what magical powers do you behold??
Do you do any sketches to get shapes right or do you do it as you go? Again, I'm sure practice is the answer, there's no magical solution, but everything I do looks kinda stiff and dead
Anyway, thank you! Your art is wonderful!
honestly i started by using premade/mono chromatic palettes mostly and focused on values and composition. once i felt more confident in those, i started using color palettes taken from photos, films, or photobash multiple photos into one then color grade it so its more seamless. now its easy and natural to just pick colors. i think it’s important to understand the basics before trying to get too complicated, values/hues/color depth/composition/tones/hue shifting are all very helpful to learn about when being self taught. another tip is when the art is done ill usually add a color filter over the whole artwork so the colors vibe together better.
and yep i always sketch :) usually ill sketch with pencil, take a photo then draw over that. i love the feeling and organic feeling drawing w pencil gives my art. i def recommend bc it’ll help with the stiffness! i also use a drawing tablet and that helps my art flow more organically too. but thank you!! enjoy the journey of learning pixel art 💕
Day 24!
Low effort day lets gooooooo
In honor of the end of mermay and the start of pride month, here's a sapphic merm!
what do you mean it's already the 10th
Also, here's the original. I spend about i don't know, 8 hours on this, and kind of hated it.
Then i spent about 45 minutes tweaking the colors and adding rain and now i kind of like it again (or maybe i'm just half asleep lol.) I think i need to just start using more muted colors.

"Punishment works!!!" We're drowning in three to four generations of people so pants-shittingly terrified of ever being wrong that half of everyone has constructed a worldview wherein they never even consider the possibility that they could be wrong and the other half behaves like one wrong move will make anything or anyone explode violently into a million irreperable pieces. I don't think it works guys
In case you lost it - a link to the eSIM donation guide. Even if you feel sick and powerless, you can at least do this. And even if you really, really can't donate, you can always at least share this and remind others.

This is very urgent so please share however you can. Islam, the mom of this family in Gaza, is eight months pregnant but has a fractured pelvis and therefore cannot give birth safely. She needs a C-section, but the conditions to perform those no longer exist in Gaza. For months women in Gaza have been getting C-sections without anaesthesia. We need to get her out before she goes into labor, which could happen at any time now. We're halfway through the goal and even if everyone just chipped in 5-10 dollars it adds up quick!

Mermay day 12
Yesterday's mermaid was reaching towards nothing, so i thought i would give her a friend to reach for.
I once again started this on the 12th so it still counts
I guess weird ass arms are just a theme and not that i just can't draw arms/hands
All weekend long, we will be streaming a variety of games and events in an effort to raise money for on-the-ground aid groups and direct Palestinian support campaigns.
The event will not be a traditional stream fundraiser, rather than pointing people at one donation point, we will be suggesting many different support recipients, and you may donate to any of them. You can then submit your donation amount to be tallied into our rough total.
The information document detailing suggested groups/campaigns to support will open up closer to when the event starts, as well as a schedule of events for the weekend. The event will be hosted on my twitch channel, where http://stream.rtvsfundraiser.live/ links to.
Lastly, if you know of any GoFundMe's or similar site campaigns for Palestinians that you trust as legitimate, please send an e-mail to info@rtvsfundraiser.live with links and details, and I will add as many as I can to the event document.
Please tune in and support however you can, whether that be through donations, spreading the word, anything and everything helps. Even if you can't or don't want to tune in, please consider donating. See you this weekend!
