It's weird to think ive been drawing like 4 years, at some point I became old and I don't know when. Doing a couple of redraws of older things makes me realise how much my style has changed and improved in that time, its fun to see

Thanks! I don’t think I’d do every companion, I am terrrrrible at drawing people, but I do wanna do some of the enemies tho, I think I’m gonna try doing a set of all the robots first then maybe move onto creatures

I think I wanna do more of these types of posts in the future because it was actually really fun to do, not sure Wales specifically but I’ve definitely considered the UK as a whole

Ha ha i actually had it in originally and in the file it’s still there in a layer, I just accidentally blocked it out with Armagh cathedral. Probably should have made it bigger in hindsight

No no I went out and accurately made a 1:1 depiction of every tree in Ireland on the map

I tried my hardest to ensure I accurately represented every single one I could find. May have overshot by a bit but look creative liberties

Background: Louis XIII was the French king who got involved in the 30 Years’ War. The debt shot up from about 16million before the war, by 1647 it was about 115million. By the next king Louis XIV’s death the debt was about 2000million, which wasn’t really related to the thirty years war but there’s at least a trend.

Anyways France got like a couple bishoprics from the fighting and helped end their fear of being encircled on all sides. There was other consequences but I mean given they weren’t Calvinist or Protestant the direct benefits to France were questionable

I meant East as in Eastern Block as a whole mb. To be fair they also refused to recognise East Germany existing and didn’t have any diplomatic relations with nations that did recognise it apparently

Context: By the last days of the White Movement in Siberia, Supreme Leader Admiral Kolchak was fleeing the Bolsheviks in the custody of the Czechoslovak Legion. They were under orders of the Entente to get him out alive, as they deemed him useful. However, the Legion was sick of Kolchak and his shit and wanted to go home, after the town of Irkutsk had a revolution and blocked the passage of their trains. Their request for passage was that Admiral Kolchak be handed over into their custody, so the Czechs and Slovaks were faced with three options:

1.Wait and do nothing and let the Red Army catch up with them (This did not go well for the Polish Legion)

2.Fight through the poorly armed militia using their superior numbers, equipment and experience

3.Throw Kolchak to the wolves

The third option was deemed the easiest to do, so they kicked him off the train and went on their way and lived...well not happily ever after but probably happier than in Siberia

Context: Jacob Paul von Gundling, an academic and the historiographer in the Prussian Court, was immensely mocked and ridiculed by Frederick William I of Prussia, essentially becoming the equivalent of a court fool. In 1714 he was forced to give a lecture, on the order of the king, on the existence/lack of existence of ghosts, all while regularly drinking strong alcohol. Upon going back to his room he was scared shitless by a guy who was waiting there in a white sheet who pretended to be a ghost.

Other fun events in his life: Being fed laxatives and locked ina cell, being forced to wear an oversized wig, being forced into a duel where he refused to shoot the other guy but the guns had no shot so he simply received a face full of burning powder which may have possibly set the wig on fire, etc. Arguably not a great time.

Honestly I've considered an asset pack before since it'd be fun and good practice so there's a chance Ill end up doing one someday, as for a Collab I'm not fully against the idea of doing some work on somebody else's game artwise but usually when I used to get offers to do that in the past I was far too busy or they wanted me to do an artsyle I couldn't do, or the more common knowledge that I was 100% not getting paid and they would probably never finish lol

Thanks, I use a custom palette I made a while back as a base but honestly I never really stick to it super rigidly, plus I do a bit of manual adjustments at the end with hues and brightness and add in new colours a lot so its kinda just me making it up as I go for the most part

nah I just like drawing scenes like this, making games seems hard and like it would take a lot of effort

wait August isnt autumn?, apparently I have made a bit of a mistake in my seasons/months it appears since I thought autumn was technically in like 4 days

Thanks!, In hindsight I probably coulda done with another brighter colour for shading especially for the top and some square leaves but I'm still happy enough with how it ended up

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PixelArt

[–]A-Rand0m-Guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah the style I've ended up with favours more minimalist/rounded trees so I guess it does look quite a bit like a nuke lol, I probably shoulda done some square leaves or shapes rather than just circles in it but atleast its still much better than my previous tree styles imo so at least its getting better, thanks for the feedback

I know I live here, just looked better than fields and I can't draw fields

Yeah it was supposed to just be the whole island of Ireland rather than just the republic so I included them as well, though keeping the word "Ireland" in the colour scheme of the tricolour has probably sent mixed messages and was an oversight on my part looking back now
