On the left is the sprite sheet for the Pico-8 game I made for my wife for Christmas 2016

On the right, the sprite sheet for the sequel I'm currently working on.

You'd think "of course you'd get better with 8 years of regular practice" except this difference is like 2% practice and 98% adoption of a process:

Look at a lot of reference art

Just keep on stirring the pixels around until it looks good

Notably step two doesn't really scale so working on subjects bigger than 8x8 is terrifying to me 😂

Reference art is hugely important, as it turns out. You know how the 90s Rare games everyone loves only had like four biomes? It's because they only had one shelf of reference books and Twycross is too remote to drive to the library.

I kissed my hands 🫦

For some reason, when the power and internet go out, I have a desire to create in a similar style.

I'll wait for the next blackout, because I'm too lazy to paint for nothing 😃👍
