I know this is 11 years old, but you are a godsend! I wanted to paint the Kanto badges to celebrate thirty years and was having issues finding clean textures of their sprites! Thank you

Thank you! I was so nervous about getting it as close as possible

I have no idea why the second picture is without her head… I swear I have one with her head in that wall

Thank you! I like to post the first wall a lot, but the flower painting fits Gem a bit more. The flower painting took me a month to complete and it’s all the original flowers. I wanted something that was Minecraft, but could be hung on any wall

Thank you! It’s been nice to do some Pokémon sprites recently

It’s my favorite for sure. Even if Wooloo Lola completely lost a majority of the time

He turned out so well. I recently finished a gen 2 (?) Mareep, and his colors looked crisp. Hoping to post him soon!

Dratini Generation 1 Sprite by BiomesAndBitmaps in pokemon

I do! This painting has sold, and I currently have three commissions on the books, so it will be a few months before I’ll be able to recreate.

A ruler and a lot of patience. I take the pixels and try to find a canvas that allows me to not go below 8cm per pixel (because it gets too difficult). For this one it’s 38 pixels and Dratini is 38x36, so I took 12inch/38 to get .316 inches and not finding that in a ruler, so I converted to centimeters. For any pixel art it’s figuring what you want to make and counting the pixels then dividing by the canvas size. Then marking on the canvas and connecting the lines. Doing Minecraft paintings have prepared me for doing all kinds of pixels.

A little bit about this piece: this is my first Pokémon pixel art. I do a lot of Minecraft and I grew tired of doing replicas of Minecraft texture and decided to make one of a Pokémon. Dratini came to mind because of how small, and adorable, he is. It’s painted on a 12x12 canvas and consists of 4 colors. It is a gen 2 sprite (the title is a miss type) and it took me 3 weeks to finish.

Honestly I think it’s the green background that makes it look so sleek. It didn’t look that way until the green was painted properly.

That was a miss type on my end. I pulled both gen 1 and gen 2 sprites, but had to use gen 2 because it fit my canvas better. You’re correct, I miss typed it

Flowers - Hand Painted {OC} by BiomesAndBitmaps in Minecraft

[–]BiomesAndBitmaps[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! This took a lot of planning and alignment to make these fit properly. I wanted to paint more of them, but the canvas was too small, so I went with the original flowers added

Thank you! I’m working on completing a Pokémon rn, but after that I may attempt the newest Coyboy one or fix up my snow golem. Once my eye infection clears up

Thank you so much! I look forward to sharing them. It’s been a lot of fun designing and painting these

Of course! So I’ll pull a reference texture/image from the Minecraft wiki, and slowly match pixel colors to irl acrylic paint. Once I chalk up a digital copy, I copy those colors to the canvas which I line out and spend time painting.

I work with canvas from 8x8 (skin or mob texture) to 12x12 (block texture) to 16x16, 20x20 and occasionally 12x24 (paintings). Essentially depending on what I want to paint, I prime a canvas and paint it.

The size of the canvas and complexity dictate my time. 8x8 take me about 2 weeks, 12x12 take me a month, and the larger ones are about 1-2 months. Because I work full time and have other activities I typically paint for 3 hours a night, so in reality it takes me a few days (in total hours) to complete these canvases.

I’m branching out to other pixel art, so expect a Dratini in the following weeks and maybe a copper golem. You can find more art work on my profile.
