In This weeks "Pixelart for Beginners" stream we created simple skilltree icons.
The goal of this practice is to achieve clear readability through simple shapes and shape composition.
Your homework:
-create a 3 color skilltree icon
-should fit in the slightly round 18x18 base for the button
We're live with "Pixelart for Gamedevs.
Todays Plan:
-We look at a lot of viewer artwork from the "draw a teacup" stream last week.
-We will do a skilltree icon for Occult Office.
-We will play the demo for "Diorama Break"

Today we created 2 new cups live during "Pixelart for beginners".
The homework for this week: construct a simple cylindrical object. Our cups are 32x32 with a circle ratio of ~2:1.
In the scene for "Occult Office" there are 2 lightsources, one from the front left, and one from behind.

This radio we made today live during "Pixelart for Beginners".
The "homework" is to put a similar object on the shelf.
If you want to recreate the Occult Office style use 10 colors in total, each color has a ramp of 4, the black is shared. Keep the game screen border in mind too!
Good luck!
Pixelart for Beginners is live now!

A flower in a vase.
It can be any flower in any vase, whatever you like.
If you want to keep it simple, limit yourself to 3 colors + a dark tone (black or purple), 3 different groups of colors (so 10 colors in total) - that's the exact style we showed.
Looking forward to see what you'll come up with
QBert should be pixel-iso as far as the sprites go.
Although it looks like on some arcade screens the lines get stretched out due to the hardware/scanlines. This means if we take the physical output into account, it's a form of dimetry.

It probably is a good read if you just like videogames. There ar e a bunch of examples with quite well knnown games.
"Isometric games don't exist" is a guide with 40 detailed charts about perspective in videogames.
It teaches you everything about isometry and what all the other game perspectives & projections are and how they work.
You can download it for free on my itch page

Occult Office: Lofi Rituals, is a cozy and slightly cursed virtual officespace, with which you can plan your day, customize your character, take care of your plants, let you tell your daily fortune and spend your coffee breaks in the "corporate dungeon".

Knightess and her steed.
So for example most real world helmets are built like real world tanks. Tons of glancing surfaces and holes and openings are designed that nothing can easily get stuck or slided in.
In art the shape and silhouette is more important.
so the big crest would compromise physics, but looks interesting.
I have an idea of what the final thing could look like. In this case like the deep one appaerance.
It's useful to know why things are made the way they are. So I try to learn from people who know.
Then I use that knowledge of history, artstyles and artifacts and combine them according to the idea.
Looks cool. Congrats on the steampage launch!
The steam page for Lancer Tactics is now up!
Throw us on your wishlist!

Yes I think it's cool if it looks believable. At least if it's realistically rendered The details are naturally heavily inspired by existing sources. Japanese Edo period and European late Renaissance helmets served as a base, so you might have seen the reference material before.
Fantasy helmet design
lovely artistic rendition
We just added some clouds during "Pixelart for Beginners" for our "Occult Office: Lofi Rituals" game background.
Simple shapes with just 2 colors will serve as a good base for further polish.
@akjarosz.bsky.social did a good job!
