Reblogging Because I Made A Trailer, Yay!

I know Snake’s just running back and forth and it looks boring, but I’m kind of proud of this tree, and the skid-out animation as he changes direction, both of which I did today.  Hopefully we’ll be able to get some actual gameplay capture gifs going soon, because Photoshop is kind of a PIA for showing off the animation in a real environment.  Things are still a bit glitchy on that end right now!

Oh look what Eda recovered from the human world dump!

Oh god look what I found toward the beginning of my nearly full sketchbook. Hahaha. They’ve been with me during all my travels and experiences the past few years!

This is so beautifully rendered. I'm just so grateful that the artist used their incredible skill for my favorite ship.

don't ask me about PW-era BBKaz it hurts... Kaz has too much fiery human feeling for the company he keeps

Sure, I’ll come along for the ride.

This is incredible!

happy mothers day i drew the mammal pod <3

This is the best tutorial for something I’ve always struggled with in pixel art! It’s really useful conceptually for painting in general.

🌿 How to draw simple grass for a game

Thank you kind asker I will make a tutorial below for grass. I'll do shrubs and trees in another one, because it's a different method and it got pretty long.

🌿 How to draw grass tiles: step-by-step

Each box is 16x16, the same size Stardew Valley uses. Make it tile (how to do it depends on your software) so we can see if our edges match up nicely.

Draw 1 simple blade of grass. Many options for shape but I like this one. Feel free to copy me directly

2. Give it a shadow. Wow !!!

3. Give it a highlight! OMG!

4. Add another grass

5. Do it over and over and over and over and over

Literally just do the same or similar blades of grass, give them all little shadows, highlight a few if you want and there you have it! So easy.

It looks really complicated like this, but its literally just a few steps, repeated over and over.

Many games use this technique and it would be perfectly serviceable for a base grass tile.

Personally, I prefer lower contrast grass. This tile will likely be used for large areas, so ideally you don't want it to be too busy or eye-burning to distract from the character.

🌿 I'll show you how to do a different type of grass now that is a little more complicated.

Midtone grass colour

2. Add some lighter and darker patches touching each other (not too high contrast!)

3. Use this shape (or your preferred, but this is how I did it) on the top edge of your patches. Colour them with the middle colour from each patch.

4. Do it again a lot (this is very tedious)

5. Add some highlights

6. Add some fun extra stuff

We're done! Have fun everyone, show me if you try it!
