This is so sick

quick oldschool material test in photoshop in the vein of the goldsrc mod work i was doing in the mid 00s, just photoshop filters & basic round brush used, all mouse work.

250x150px & truecolour (though it looks nearly identical with a 256 colour palette as the HL1 engine would use)

When you say "basic round brush" do you adjust the hardness as you go? Because the edge control is great and it being this clean is something I struggle with sometimes at this resolution.

The game is looking great! I really appreciate you sharing progress on it. Best of luck!

I am glad I managed to do one big full painting this year, especially since it was during bad burnout, but man I really want to do more big pics like that.

Speaking from my own experience, the hardest part about enjoying writing is applying *restraint*. "Useless NPC dialogue" is where I'm going to have a ton of fun.

Air Riders is an absolute blast and, I never say stuff like this, but honestly a straight upgrade from the original.

I just wish it was possible to do local multiplayer and online at the same time so I can play with my friends *and* my partner.

I love this remake so much, the art and animation is endlessly inspiring to me. I'm honestly shocked at how good the base game design is for how old the actual game is, it's kinda surreal.

Yeah definitely! Always great to have that fine edge control even at (or maybe especially at) low res

I am driven back by the barrage of your powerful words, emanating with incredible energy

Ehehe helps to turn that art block into a block of art!

Important bits:
- Start with a big simple shape that's *really* easy for you to draw
- Add/carve random shapes into it
- Repeat as much as you like
- Slowly add details as you start getting ideas of what you're making
- Make sure to take it easy and have fun with it!

Did a little demo for a friend on how I do little environment doodles if I'm having art block

Heck yeah! It's weirdly hard to find resources on some of these older workflows that aren't just "shrink/filter a photo in photoshop", so I really appreciate the process video putting more into perspective!

Realizing the truth about all* digital images: they're all made of pixels

This is a vid link and, for me, it's a holy grail of sorts. I love the texture work of this era. I find it endlessly inspirational and to see a process vid from one of the big guys from the era is insane to me.

OK. Finally captured how I used to do Pixel work back in the Quake3/Daikatana era (except I used procreate). Procreate is terrible at exporting pixel videos, so filmed it. Also! I did the Music score! :D #gameart #gamedev #pixelart #darkart

From what I've seen, absolutely. I think if the fact we even have things like "history" is anything to go by, there will always be people interested in a past they didn't get to experience first-hand.

A gift *and* a curse.... hmmmmm...

If you posted them publicly before, just go for it

HOLY SHIT IT'S PIKACHU

WOAH! HEY!! WHO'S THAT!?

Damn you guys really liked this one huh

One of these days I'm going to have the confidence to make an ecorche model. Just seems like an insanely useful study

fuck yes

excited to see! Love that kind of stuff

Would love to see some breakdowns myself

I have a lopsided understanding where I understand arm, chest, and hand anatomy fairly well, but then things like the legs, feet, and especially the back I just kinda stumble through lol

Fixing that!
