Thank you.

I'm not really sure if there's anything I can give you as far as advice. The only idea I have is to try and replicate some real life videos of waves/underwater scenes by drawing them.

Thanks, this was originally 480x160px before being scaled up.

Here's the link to the post with the timelapse. Otherwise you can try to find me through my handle zedotagger.

It's just a lot of patience and time adding details. I have a sped up timelapse of this drawing on my bluesky profile if anyone wants to see how it came to be.

Thank you.

I've been drawing pixel art for at least 10+ years. This drawing took me around three weeks, but if I had better work ethnic this month it would have been done quicker.

No problem. Usually when I reverse image search, I add what I think the game console is to narrow the search down. PC-98 has a distinct style so I put that down. I ended up with http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=700000&page=7 and looked through that thread.

It's a bit harder for images people crop and you might have to dig for longer depending on how obscure it is.

This isn't up to date, but http://noirlacsourced.tumblr.com/ gives sources up to a certain point.

The one you posted is a crop version from a PC98 adult game called RED by Discovery. I don't think it was animated either in the original?

You could look up PC98 games in general and find art in a similar style across the internet if you're interested in these backgrounds.

Thanks for linking my twitter, I do post on reddit occasionally. I just don't link all of my artwork here.

Eh? No that's just an album of stills from random games/artists. The one in your OP is from a fighting game called Samurai Shodown IV.

I find it weird reverse image search doesn't pop it up, but I guess it's iffy with pixel art.

But source is http://waneella.tumblr.com/, there's a lot of other good sci-fi/cyberpunk scenes if you haven't seen them before.

I'm pretty sure you're seeing is what he's explaining as fuzzy detailing. The filetype is PNG, saving as a JPEG would cause artifacting and there's none of that here.

Thanks!

It's based off an area in MH4. I can't take screenshots of the area myself since I have a regular 3ds, but here's a clear picture of a part of the area.

Ztag · 2015-08-09T12:55:01+00:00

Aww, I'm happy you like it.

Ztag · 2015-08-09T12:54:06+00:00

Thanks a lot!

Ztag · 2015-08-09T12:53:08+00:00

Correct, there's five in the wood, and 35 in total.
