This whole series is super impressive. I find it really hard to step away from the layer-by-layer workflow, but this looks amazing. The tree in particular is incredible
Amazing! There's so much going on yet it still feels cohesive, gives the place a lot of life. It was really interesting hearing about the colour selections in the tree, not going with the obvious choice and defining those rules for yourself I think really helped that cohesion too. The way you make your videos and explain every detail is really inspirational, it's like I'm stepping inside your mind through that decision-making process and it makes me want to create something too. Absolutely perfect to watch as I eat breakfast, but definitely wishing I had a juice from this place to go with it. I wonder if they'd have any strange fruits there too... Thanks for sharing Brandon! :D
Thanks so much man! Haha yeah I wasn't quite expecting there to be much of a 'puzzle' to solve as far as the colour palette goes, but it's really rewarding once you get a good lead on those choices/logic within the artwork 😊 Had the same thought about the fruit; definitely getting a citrus vibe but something odd/otherworldly would be interesting to think about!
@@BJGpixel A nice surprise in the end for you then and a really pleasant result, these are some of my favourite colours for sure. Yeah I definitely imagine something similar to lemon and lime, but with a twist... Maybe Lemime :'D. Always excited to see these cool worlds and things you come up with! :D
@@saultoons Hahaha amazing, 'Lemime' it is! 😂👍
The orb kinda makes me feel like it's one of those signs, like the pharmacy signs. Everywhere in the world it's the same. So you can find a pharmacy.
Ooh I really like that interpretation for it! :D
This video is so inspirational. I just recently got into pixel art, and I found that I am extremely passionate about it. I hope one day to be as good as this, it's just amazing to watch it all come together.
this piece is really cool. i love the "electronic nature" aesthetic.
The one thing I've learned from watching these video's, is that I need to separate out the different components on more layers so I don't have to keep re-drawing them.
Dear Brandon,
I encountered your channel only today. Needless to say, I'm subscribed.
I don't know how to explain how much _delight_ these videos bring me - I squealed out loud multiple times this morning, often upon seeing the final animation, but occasionally just noticing things like _oh my gosh look how he drew that TREE_ and absolutely losing my mind. I love pixel art, though I'm not very good at it myself yet. You've inspired me to possibly dive back into it in the near future.
So I just wanted to offer my one word of encouragement, as a random stranger on the internet: thanks. I love you and your channel! You're a really cool person and an amazing artist. May you always have the time, motivation, and inspiration to turn your wild ideas into something you can share with the world.
That's so kind, you just made my day!! :D Thanks so much for the words of encouragement, and I wish you all the best with your own art should you decide to jump back into things - and thanks for watching! ✨
_oh my gosh he replied -_
This is my favorite series you do. They all feel like they could be part of the same cyberpunk game
I really like these.
I had to order an art print of the coffee shop one to hang in my kitchen.
That's awesome, thanks so much - perfect spot for it! :D
This was such a delight to watch! I can’t get enough of your videos.
Yes! I love starting my day with a new upload from you.
yess!! I love the way you design buildings!
Your cyberpunk stuff feels oddly comforting, like the calm in the storm of the dreadful dystopia vibes of cyberpunk, an oasis to relax and forget about the world around you for a bit
Just came back to this to watch it for a second time. Relaxing, inspiring and educational at the same time truly astonishing
I watched one of your videos last week, I have now watched all of them. So high quality and so easy to watch!
One of my favorite parts of your videos is getting to see you improve and refine your workflows over time! Plus, you describe how you came to these conclusions, and it makes for some really interesting content, even if I don't really think I'd ever get into pixel art. Great job as always!!
Loved seeing you do the coloring on this one.
your art style is amazing
it makes me happy someone this talented is explaining his art to other people
Man do I love this channel. Superb, as usual - this is such a great series.
If I'm ever feeling overwhelmed or anxious, your videos are a seriously relaxing thing to turn to
this video kinda perfectly showcases the high points of your style; the vivid colors and your tendency to add a lot of details gives everything a very cozy, lived-in feeling, like these settings (especially these little storefronts) are places people frequent, and a safe happy spot to rest. combined with your narration and the calm, simple way you explain your processes, these videos feel really inviting to watch, and make these elaborate and detailed pieces feel a lot easier to break down and work through for everyone watching at home who wants to make pictures out of tiny squares, lol
Such an amazing piece. I love your work. Really love the colour pallet on this one too
This workflow of adding the details as you go is really enjoyable to watch. It makes the scene come alive faster and you still get the satisfying reveal at the end when everything is finished. Hope to see more of these in the near future. I'll definitely be buying a few prints for my office.
Gosh I love the smoothie animation!
This is incredibly awesome! Every one of these videos is so inspiring 🙏
Simply watching your approach to a a piece is so damn inspiring because they truly come out gorgeous
I really loved this piece Brandon, seeing it just makes me happy, I want to have this as a wallpaper
CRAZY! It looks amazing!
This is great! I especially the way the tree came out. Nice work!
Man, your work is awesome, y amount of detail, the colors, the way that you represent objects so good with a few of pixels. Can't stop watching! Congrats!
Fantastic series, don't stop!
This looks so good! Every time you upload I know there's gonna be a stunning work of art!
Amazing piece! Great use of colors, i never thought "earthy" colors could make a cyberpunk vibe. And is very relaxing.
Late two years but agree 👍
Seriously, this entire channel is just pure gold
yoo mans just described my like entire workflow with the color palette in advance, working on coloring and shading and everything all at once
validation pog
Spectacular work!
i really love this one! i think my favorite detail is the subtle refresh line running down the streetlamp light. i love how you detail your thought process of working through your pieces. perfect music choice for this as well, but i still miss that little tune and sound effects you used to have during the countdown at the end.
I love your work, have been watching and following your channel for almost a year now! My 3 favorite youtube channels for pixel art inspiration and learning are yours, Adam C Younis and Octavi Navarro Arts. Each one has your own style, but all of you create astonishing and beautiful pixel art! You are an inspiration to all of us, man! keep it up!
Holy this entire speedpaint makes me inspired to draw at 1am
man the crt looks so dreamy, its brilliant
Love your videos!! The art you make is great
Wow this is just spectacular. I loved watching this
Love it. So far, all of your works have this *neatness* to them, for lack of a better term. They aren't necessarily cute, though I'm sure it plays a part in it, but rather very self-contained. Every time it's a boost of inspiration to create something that small-scale on your own. Thank you for that.
You seem to really enjoy this cyberpunk-y semi-apocalyptic look - I do wonder if you'd be curious enough to explore something Fallout-related. Especially considering the sprite-based classic titles in the series.
Love this series!
Cyberpunk and Juice-Bar, what a clash. Kind of tone deaf right? I mean Cyber Punk is typically defined by it's urban wilderness, a world so complicated and developed that the humans living in it are like animals in a habitat beyond their control, a juice bar would be such a nice thing it would stick out between the striking poverty of everything else. Skyscraper complexes with millions inside them, busy neon lit markets built from crumbling infrastructure, a trendy juice bar where people hang out and drink juice.
IDK man, maybe in a rich neighborhood that isn't too different from the rich neighborhoods of today.
Edit : Despite my genre geeking you've made beautiful art as always, I feel like a gain a new appreciation for color and line work when I watch your work.
I love all the architecture ones
super cool !!! i always learn a lot from watching you work !!!
delightful💘 i love your channel! !
Missed this series! Love the two cyberpunk storefront posters hanging in my room!
Oh awesome, thanks dude! :D
Another fine addition to my fav series here!! 😂
Lots of really cool visuals in this one! The way the tree is shaded is very satisfying and I actually really like the robot with the apron design. 😁 The cloth over these mechanical components just feels like a cool aesthetic!
Also, the serene vibes feel pretty unique to this piece! I wish I could have a swirling juice reservoir on top of my room - an unlimited supply of my fav soda or something would be wonderful 😋
😆
Thanks man, and now that I think about it the cloth/metal mix of the robot kind of echoes the mixed design of the tree as well - kind of a fitting pair! ✨
And yeah I hope rooftop reservoirs catch on in the future; could easily double as a soothing white noise skylight addition to any room hahaha
This is amazing.
i love this cute shops series! youre so good!
this is awesome, thank you!
Yay! Sunday coffee time! 🤘😍🤘
Update: Awesome as alywas. So many details in such a "small" pictures. I love your attention to detail 🔥
Wooo coffee time! ☕️ ✨ Thanks dude, the detailing is always my favourite part of this series of artwork! 😁
@@BJGpixel This is something I need to learn from you. To not rush to finish drawing asap but focus and add details because this is what's spice up your art ☺️
@@DadVader Yeah it's where I find a lot of the joy in it too! The tough part is creating the foundation (in this case, deciding on the structure and architecture elements) - and then getting to decorate that after is the fun part! :D
Super cool !
Your work is great inspiration for a newb to create sprites on Pico-8!
I vibe w the tree a lot, good shit as always
IT'S SOO SATISFYING TO LOOK AT... ESPECIALLY WITH THE ANIMATIONS
Dude i discover ur channel today and im just MINDBLOOOOWW of everything.. all ur work is freaking amazing, what a great series and videos, im learning from scrap but i really like pixel art and renders. Greetings from Venezuela
Oooooohhhh I really like the palette :0
Amazing!
I love this
Cyber-tree is such a great idea. XD Really digging the soundtrack, too. The sloshing juice, unfortunately, in the early process I saw as a rotating solid object (with a wavy top edge) and couldn’t shake that illusion. Lovely piece.
I really like this one! :D
this is also sick
Love your vids brandon
Love your vids!
ive never known how pixel art is made, so this is pretty cool :o
Fantastic
Потрясающе благодарю тебя 😌
I like how the juice bot guy looks like a mix between pathfinder and a small weapon energy from megaman.
Very nice work!
I need to learn how to do this, its amazing
this man is like the bob ross of pixel art. he "messes" it up temporarily only to make it look MILES better. thank you for the tips
I really want some juice right now
edit: just had some freshly squeezed orange juice and it hit the spot harder than any spot that has been hit before in my life
🗣It's like a pixel art lava lamp. The CRT time really made this one look nice. 🕵 Great art as always.
This could make for a really cool wallpaper
I'm an artist, but pixel art is one of those categories that always blows my mind with how difficult it is to me. And then he goes and animates it?? Wow
masterpiece :)
WOW 😍
awesome 👍👍
Impressive ❤️👍🏼
I love your fusion of sci-fi and contemporary styles. This one really spoke to me because I love nature and earth tones. There's just something really warm and gentle about this one.
Thanks so much dude! I think it was really beneficial getting that colour palette sorted out before starting; it gave the earth tones a chance to influence the design :D
@@BJGpixel Well it worked out wonderfully. How did you go about making your pallet? Did you just eyeball colours, or do you have a process for adjusting various values like hue and saturation to get what you want. Still learning how to make my own palettes.
Any insights would be great! Thanks!
@@ThePixelExpedition I usually start by selecting a range of greyscale values to plan out the light-to-dark ramp that way, and then blend colour on top of those values (and a final adjustment of hue/sat as desired). It's a bit convoluted, but it works out for planning your desired contrast.
Here's a vid with that workflow: th-cam.com/video/PdXpUIATzO0/w-d-xo.html
For larger palettes I'm doing this same process but for different colour ramps. Hope that helps! :D
@@BJGpixel Awesome! Thanks for that explaination and the video reference!
I am starting to think that Brandon can make anything he just needs ideas
did it take you so long to understand that?
@@lautarosalascismondi384 *sweating intensely*
@@lautarosalascismondi384 took you longer as you had to edit it 😆
@@mikeuk666 my message had a spelling error so I corrected it
After over 2 years of not doing any pixel art i now really want to get back into it. I am nowhere near as skilled as you (yet :p) but i will never get better if i don't try. Thanks for making the videos
I feel like you should develop a game with these art pieces
que trabajo tan genial
Wow 😮
If I were you I would have added a smear frame to the robot looking around and it would have matched whenever the juice machine had a small wave (loved the video its so cool
I'd love to see your take of dialog cut scenes. May I suggest recreating the "hello there" scene from star wars in pixel art?
Haha that'd be perfect! 😂 I loved seeing that within the Ep III game for the GBA, and it'd be fun to try a new take on that exchange :D
This monke is really productive
if you just combined all the crt time footage i could watch that for hours
I wish I had time during my day to sit and try to pixel art
Hi brother im from Indonesia. You make a cool art bro. Good job
Hi I am a fan of your videos!
🔥
I love this series. Can u make a playlist of all the cyberpunk storefront video pls? I found only 2 of it in ur channel, or is that all?
"a self-sustaining tree" so...a tree? lmfao. this is not a diss i just fw ecology and i thought that remark was funny. i love your work
I'd be really interested in seeing how you put your timelapses together.
