    Hi Marty, I used to watch your videos wayback in 2012 when I was newbie in Photoshop. Now I'm working as a graphic artist without a diploma or certification just skills. Thanks for everything Marty.

    Let me just add.. that this is sort of how they used to do digitized photos into graphics for games like Mortal Kombat back in the old days.

    General rule if you're going for the NES 8-bit you're gonna be limited to 4 colors on each sprite.
    3 of which are colors and the 4th one is transparent. Now a few games did some tricks to get
    a few more colors for each sprite by doing overlapping sprites and patterns.
    This.. wouldn't be considered pixel art at all..

      @theimperialkerbalunion7568 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      You get much cleaner and sharper graphics if you make the pixel art from scratch. In my opinion this "8bit" portrait looks awful and quite ugly due to the low contrast between tones and the amount of variations of color on the skin. Search up some pixel art tutorials on youtube if you aren't great at pixel art.

      Nero yh, its much more natural making it from scratch. You also learn a lot of artistic skills along the way. I mostly make art for my own games. It makes it feel much more personal. Good luck with your games and happy coding!
