Thanks, I should probably do that! Here's a link to a twitter post of the palette image in the meantime: twitter.com/bjgpixel/status/902590466457088001
It's so fun to see the evolution on how you approach your artworks through the years. I feel like I can always learn from your videos, the way your techniques and principles on pixel art mature inspires me to keep experimenting with different aspects of my artworks.
Thanks, I'm happy to hear that! It's fun to break out of your own typical styles by experimenting with different "rules" to apply while designing the art; kinda keeps everything fresh too. Best of luck with your pixel art!
at first i thought you were leaving spaces in the linework when it looked janky no matter how you filled them in, which now that i think of it is a good technique that i should use whenever i just can't get the shape of something right
That was quite the transformation! I really like how the coat is shown in the new one. Kinda made me realize how these coats are a consistent aesthetic across the two movies we got 😁 A full Blade Runner mockup, you say? 😱
For sure, it was cool how they kept the idea of the coat consistent but the styling of K's used different textiles. The blaster - feels from the same world but different detailing 😁 Yeah the mockup needs to happen. It's always been on my pixel art bucket list 😅
@@BJGpixel Totally! I know I've said it before but the new coat in 2049 is just so cool, I love the way it zips up to mask the jaw. What an awesome look 😎 Looking forward to the mockup someday! 😁
LOVE the videos BJG! You've encouraged me to start doing pixel art and animating in Photoshop and I'm learning something in every single video. Keep up the dope content homie!! :D
Congrats on 100K! Also, I think it would be cool if you did a bigger pixel art project (maybe around 512x320) of a real life place. A dithering tutorial and layering tutorial would also be cool.
This was awesome! I love Blade Runner and you captured so much intensity and detail in this much slimmer and more realistic sprite. That trench coat swept outward looks like the wind is blowing at his back or as if he just whipped around to shoot. Very cool!
Thanks buddy! It's funny I hadn't quite considered WHY the trenchcoat was out, but I guess if the sprite were to be animated, we'd have to decide if it gonna whip out when turning or just constantly be blowing in that direction to look cool at all times 😂
@@BJGpixel Very true! 😅 Exactly as you said it though, it's a more dynamic pose - it lets you in on how the character moves and interacts with the world. ☺️
Very nice work.. I immediately remembered the sprite of the main character from Flashback, and his pose, when you mentioned "blade runner" and "pixel art".
@@BJGpixel I asked you once if you could see my pixel art inspired by all of yours(I forgot which video) and you asked for a link to my work. If I take screenshots and turn them into google photos links, will that work?
I like how you start drawing the limbs and body in the same kinda way as copying wire frame model figurine to experiment with the ideal pose. This'll be a very helpful idea for my own work. Cheeers again for a great vid!
i really like this one! the whole time i was thinking the arms are too long, then you added the couple pixels to the legs and it really helped. the gun arm still looks just a pixel or two too long though. also i miss the music/sound on the countdown at the end of the videos.
A bit of a tip, not sure if you know it, but you can use Ctrl+T and then riht click, Flip Horizontal for a perfect mirror. I'm always worried I don't flip a layer perfectly and sometimes it distorts the pixels, I don't know how much of a problem it is in your works, just thought I would mention it. Love your works, so relaxing to watch :)
Been using Photoshop for years and never knew that, thanks for the great tip! To be honest I'm not too bothered by manually flipping for some reason, but I might have to introduce this one into my workflow 😊👍
@@BJGpixel Glad I could add something to the channel! Forgot to add, you would access Flip horizontal by right clicking on the selection after Ctrl+T, but corected the original comment :) Have fun creating!
hey man idk if you're gonna see this I just want to say I appreciate your content very much, your videos motivate me to always do better when it comes to art and always keep on improving. wishing you a lot of success because you deserve it!
Love it. It would really fun to see a character go from these non-dynamic poses to dynamic poses though. Good chance to take about key frames as well and other animation techniques as well. Granted, its a ton more work. Either way always looking forward to seeing what you got in store next.
One quick tip, if I may suggest it, would be to assign a keyboard shortcut to Flip Horizontal. That way you don't have to go into your transform and drag the layer handles every time. I've got mine set to Shift+Cmd+F so it's just one (three at the same time?) keystroke(s) away and my current layer is the other way around. Anyway, hope that helps and keep up the wonderful work!
Excellent work! I would LOVE to see you do a whole Blade Runner scene in this style, and I’m sure others would as well! Maybe a Blade Runner 2049 one as well?
Could you do a video or short tutorial thing about the shortcuts you use in Photoshop to work that fast ? Loving your channel btw, your work is an absolute delight to see !
Amazing! Trying top learn Character drawing here. These videos have been so far an invaluable source of learning, thank you very much. Anyone, by any chance, have more Tips? I’d very much appreciate!
Here's a link to that palette btw, from an old Twitter post!: twitter.com/bjgpixel/status/902590466457088001
This dude needs *WAYYY* more attention from the youtube algorithm. He's a cool guy!
Well...
Agreed + it’s cool seeing another guy find Brandon James Greer
ikr
agreed. I learned a lot from him :)
@@Odds15 wait what
Hey brandon thats a really cool palette maybe you could put it onto Lospec!
Thanks, I should probably do that! Here's a link to a twitter post of the palette image in the meantime:

pixel rick, the subtle jokes never stop, you found a new True Level . Great work and the maturity of the edge work & highlight specking here was bold
😅 Haha thanks dude! Ooh specking is a really cool term to describe that
@@BJGpixel funniest shit i’ve ever seen
That's some great progress, and those proportions are giving me a real Cowboy Bebop vibe.
Thanks! Yeah ended up with sort of a Spike Spiegel / Lupin III styling to the new sprite, kind of a neat take for this character :D
"Pixel Rick". How dare you.
so glad I found your channel recently, getting to learn a lot about this pixel artworks
at first i thought you were leaving spaces in the linework when it looked janky no matter how you filled them in, which now that i think of it is a good technique that i should use whenever i just can't get the shape of something right
Yeah that's exactly it! When it's hard to decide between two positions, sometimes it also works to have no pixel at all lol
It's crazy how good your art looks. Just found you and I'm gonna dive into your content now.
Man really went from hands in pockets to finger on the trigger... the contrast... anyway, nice video! :]
Congrats on 100K!!! 💯🥳

Broooo, I've been using SuperPlum21 for ages! I never knew you'd made it!
@Colour Splash If you search it up, you can find the palette on a few websites!
Haha oh wow that's awesome, so glad you recognize it! :D

I’ve been trying to learn pixel art, and your videos have been very influential in my learning
Recently found you and I’m starting to fall in love with pixel art. Your videos are very neat and entertaining to watch. Keep up the good work!!
Very nice work.. I immediately remembered the sprite of the main character from Flashback, and his pose, when you mentioned "blade runner" and "pixel art".
How would you re-imagine some old NES games to SNES and vice-versa?
I love your work. You are my fav pixel artist ^^!

amazing content as always, I watched your videos a year before and wow you have really grow! best pixel art tuber!
It’s crazy how far you’ve come in only two years
Every new video brings a smile to me face
hey man idk if you're gonna see this
I just want to say I appreciate your content very much, your videos motivate me to always do better when it comes to art and always keep on improving. wishing you a lot of success because you deserve it!
That's really kind, thank you! I appreciate your support, and wish you the best in continuing to make art and improve as well! :D

amazing as always what you can do with such a small space
Pretty cool. Now I want to watch Blade Runner again.
Same, I'm overdue for a rewatch! And 2049 also 😅

Excellent work! I would LOVE to see you do a whole Blade Runner scene in this style, and I’m sure others would as well! Maybe a Blade Runner 2049 one as well?
Thanks! Yeah if (when) I do that, a complementary 2049 piece would have to follow at some point for sure! :D

Cool! Thank you)) that was really interesting!
Dude, everything you make is so pretty 😭❤️
This looks amazing!
Just subbed!
Looking forward to binging your content 😂
oh boy 99.9k subs let's gooooooooooooooooooooo
I love your pixel art
I always get curious watching these vids, about how long does it take for you to do one of these sprites?
This one was around 1-1.5 hours - there's usually a lot of debating towards the end about the exact placement of single pixels 😅
@@BJGpixel Maan, I'm starting out and it takes like 2 days to get to something I don't hate :3. Your vids help a lot tho!
I like how you pixelated the final pixel art to obscure it in the thumbnail. Incidental meta, I suppose.
Congrats on 100k ^^
You are getting the 100k! So close, omg! Congrats
A 'heightened' version with distributed +1px in the legs and +1px in torso/arms would be interesting
Those 3 dislikes must be from people who have to talent and no life at all ... And just simply jealous of your passion
I like to think they just have a quiet passion for the understated energy of hands-in-pocket poses. :)
The long legs make it look like a Lupin the 3rd style!
Great Video!
Nice as always
So close to 100k!
It's cool to see you define a stick person first. I've not seen many people do that with pixel art.
Great improvement!
Amazing! Trying top learn Character drawing here. These videos have been so far an invaluable source of learning, thank you very much. Anyone, by any chance, have more Tips? I’d very much appreciate!
Hey brandon, will you be making a 100k special, or not? Im not demanding anything, just asking
Nice!!
Hello Could you do a sprite analysis on the sprites from scott pilgrim vs the world the game?
lovely
I want you to pretty much make a mock-up of the 1999 Castlevania game.
C'mon do it Brandon.
Awesome work! I think the shorter legs worked better. Longer legs make me think of Spike from Cowboy Bebop. Still great!
WE HIT 100K LETS GOOOOOO!!
Did... Did you just hit 100k subs?
Why don't you just use Shift + H to flip the sprite?
I love that the file name is pixel Rick
Question: how ate you doing this on photoshop?
looks great as usual👍
Nice video man, keep it up!
nice!
I miss your end credits continue music.
That music is so dramatic and harsh it scares me lmao
"Jingling change in his pocket"
I'm very surprised.
You wil get your Verification mark very soon.
Oh man your are at 99.9 k
The original looks like kunio-kun deckard
Rick Astley with a gun
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA yesss
yup, totally the same character
Cool
