COMMISSIONS open!

o/ im sorry i havnt been able to open my commissions all year with these seizures, but im opening some today. If you would like a GBA styled talk sprite, please purchase here!

if you have been waiting a long time for my commissions to open with a special idea, please email kael.pxl@gmail.com with your inquiry.

I love your art so much!! It's inspiring me to get back into pixel art (I gave up quickly). A huge problem I had was I didn't know what size was best to set my canvas for specific projects. I always ended up overestimating and making it too big and then it looked less like pixel art and more like grainy digital art. Do you have a rough guide you stick to for landscapes/bedrooms/cities VS. things like animals and characters?

aw thank you i'm happy to hear that! i hope u stick with it ♥

with landscapes/bedrooms/cities i use 275x155. this provides a fair amount of detail while still keeping it pixely, plus it resizes to wallpaper size. for vertical i just reverse it at 155x275.

i've also recently started to use 215x215 (same amount of pixels as above) so that i can resize my art to easily fit both wallpapers, and mobile videos... since tiktok and instagram reels are everything nowadays 😒

for characters and animals, generally i will base the size of the canvas around how i stylize eyes.

so i'll draw the eyes first, then just draw everything else around that.

i also have a smaller resolution style with 2px dot eyes that i use for adding characters to landscapes, since my landscape resolution is too small for my regular style unless the character is close to the screen.

hope this helps!

i like to use your animated pixel art scenery for discord profile pics and banners sometimes (and say where i got it from in my bio or status message bc i want people to see your art more) it might be cute if you intentionally did a series of little animated portraits/objects for profile pictures and some of your usual landscape-type scenes that are the size of discord banners :]

ooo that's a great idea! i've already been working on some phone wallpapers secretly hehe but i didn't consider discord, i'll add that to my to do list! i'll probably upload them on my ko-fi as downloads :)

ty for the suggestion!! <3
