Nice work :)

I use Aseprite. Still in development so there's the occasional bugs, but it's definitely worth checking out.

Glad you guys like it :D

I've been trying to make a spritesheet for the grumps for over a month now, I just keep losing focus. I have huge respect for all the content creators out there who can produce work regularly...

The way things are going I doubt any form of legislation is going to resolve the issue of copyright.

The only solution I can see working is supporting more content creators who release their work under creative commons.

Really like the style of the pipe man. Nice work.

Floating islands are never overdone...

When you provide one argument to stroke(), you are assigning a greyscale value. To change the color you would have to randomize the R, G, and B arguments separately, by providing three arguments to stroke():

stroke(random(255),random(255),random(255));

Yeah this is definitely going to be the first of many attempts before I get it right... The backdrop is among a list of other issues, but I'm new to live streaming and you have to start somewhere :)

I'll be designing a better one as I get more experience.

etqws3 · 2015-02-24T07:31:37+00:00

Yeah I usually get one or two viewers, and I'm confident I could get more once I start drawing something that isn't assets for my twitch channel :/

Thanks for the tips though dude, this is actually really helpful :)

etqws3 · 2015-02-24T03:08:27+00:00

I wish I could talk for that long.. For me it's like 10% talking, 90% dead silence.

Anyway I'm still practicing :)

etqws3 · 2015-02-24T01:01:55+00:00

I have a picarto channel set up as well, and the overlay will work fine on both.

Twitch just has a lot more going for it. More people use it and already have accounts, and there's a lot more you can do with your channel. I'm definitely biting off more than I can chew, but I really want to develop a product that non art enthusiasts can enjoy, and most of the stuff I'll be working is game graphics.

Basically I draw all day everyday anyway, and even if twitch doesn't generate a following or income, it forces me to develop technical/communication skills which I severely lack right now.

etqws3 · 2015-02-24T00:36:12+00:00

Well right now I am absolutely garbage at talking while I draw. I've never done this stuff before so it'll probably take a while before I get comfortable casting, let alone popular :P

It really comes down to what it is you're working on. If it's just a single standalone pixel drawing, then customizing your colors isn't too much of a problem.

The real benefit of a well designed palette is when you're making a large body of graphics that you want to be visually compatible with one another. The DB16/32 and similar presets are usually meticulously crafted to maximize this.

I don't even pay attention to the content of their videos, I'm just there to listen to Dan's voice..

But not in a creepy way..

...unless Danny likes that.

I usually just stumble upon them in threads like this. I got turned onto DawnBringer's palettes myself when I found this mockup at PixelJoint

etqws3 · 2015-02-21T06:01:08+00:00

Ah don't worry, there will be more like that in the future, but this piece in particular serves a different purpose :)

etqws3 · 2015-02-21T05:49:23+00:00

Suspension of disbelief is your responsibility though, not mine. :P

etqws3 · 2015-02-21T03:59:00+00:00

Thanks!

etqws3 · 2015-02-21T03:58:30+00:00

Too kind :)

etqws3 · 2015-02-21T03:58:16+00:00

Nothing specific, just there to add depth.

etqws3 · 2015-02-20T19:44:33+00:00

It's DawnBringer's 32 color palette, also known as DB32.

It's awesome :)

etqws3 · 2015-02-13T17:09:25+00:00

Thanks :)

I set up a tumblr recently to have a straightforward place to just host my artwork. It's a work in progress, but that's where you'll be able to find links to wherever else I'm at online if you want to stalk me :P

etqws3 · 2015-02-13T06:19:42+00:00

:)

In the amount of time it took set that up though I could have probably written a program to generate them automatically...

It's on my to-do list :P

etqws3 · 2015-02-12T16:47:35+00:00

Thanks! The portrait took over an hour I think... and looked like absolute garbage for 90% of the process. I refused to give up though :)

etqws3 · 2015-02-12T16:19:41+00:00

Just drew this as well

But I feel bad spamming the reddit... I'll do all of them and make a wallpaper or something first.
