Another Ghibli movie that pops to my mind as a game is Spirited Away where the bathhouse would be like one of those 2000s internet games where you got points buy serving a lot of customers at the same time
@Brandon James Greer,Hey!So,could you do TRENDT of SCP/NAUSiCAA blend charater,please?And can you make it available for purchase in M.U.G.E.N. Capcom versus SNK 3 Files?Bye!Great job by the way.Keep up the good work!!Be nice.Peace!Just @ me.
Wow, this was your BEST one to date, I hope you do another Princess Mononoke one. Maybe more characters/sceneries or even a different style of the same piece. You KILLED it Brandon and I can't wait to see more!
Thanks so much dude, it was a lot more work than normal so I really appreciate that! It'd be fun to explore another scene with this style. Or maybe some animations with San where she's got her cool mask on and everything :D
Man, this is incredible! The amount of detail in the process of creating the piece really shows in the final creation but seeing the whole decision making process is really inspiring & informative! It's really cool how you go on to show how intentional all these decisions are. Everything from the colour and composition, down to the saturation, contrast, physics & techniques all have reasons behind them here. It really shows how being knowledgable can better equip you to make great results as an artist! ✨
Thanks so much dude, I feel like I just gained a lot of insight from your comment also! While making this I didn't quite realize the scope of what I was walking into, but given the scale and freedom that a full mock-up like this can have, I guess it was important to hold everything together with those little decisions along the way 😅 Was also a lot of fun to play with the direction/choreography of the animation once everything was in place too! :D
@@BJGpixel Haha that's right! That kind of content def provides a lot of value and if you make a loong vid like this again in the future, it'd be neat to see a totally diff approach with diff decisions being made at every point for a different result. Seeing how those decisions impact the results has always something that I learn from watching your videos! 😁
Sunday nights are a bit bittersweet. On the one hand, I'm painfully aware of having to go back to my uninspiring job tomorrow, on the other hand I get to enjoy videos like this. Beautiful art and animation as well as a very pleasant narration.
If you wrote a book on pixel art I would buy it immediately (althogh perhaps it's not the right media format). You're just on a whole other level when it comes to teaching your ways, gentle and engaging. Thank you!
Just when I thought it coudn't get better, homie comes through with a 25 minute special of Princess Mononoke on GBA. Your content is incredible bro, please keep it up
Hey! Love the art work, little tip on the dog, I recommend drawing it so that it looks like face is from that half side angle perspective. Take the nose as the middle of the face and bring the dogs proportions out from there. The eyes and ears getting smaller as it gets closer to the side of the face turned away from the screen. This kind of perspective can go for all the dogs features. Just a little tip, hope it helps. Love the art work! Watch all your stuff, some super amazing design, line art, foliage, animation. Just got all that good stuff.
Oh wow!! I started out by skipping around looking for highlights and ended up just restarting to watch from the beginning because I was so sold. Learned some awesome stuff, I love the way you teach and present information. Love this scene too. The only thing I'd add is her earring sparkle when she first turns!! One of my fav moments in cinema.
You were in my recommended, the GBA style is so cool and Princess Mononoke is, if not my favorite Ghibli movie, the one I can watch again and again without being bored. I was hooked to your video for the plain 25 minutes, and I strongly want the result to be a game. +1 subscriber
I love seeing your process, especially 5:14 is so helpful for me. Somehow I have the mindset "everything has to be perfect from the get-go", but in reality you start with a sketch or outline and improve upon it. I love seeing how through iterations you arrived at this awesome sprite. I'm glad I often keep my initial sketches to see the progress.
i feel like you've gotten a whole lot better and a whole lot more ambitious with your projects, im loving it , you're the best pixel art content creator on youtube my man
What’s funny is this is actually the same way I ended up making trees. I used to do it all by hand with lines but I realized painting it with big brushes and layers works out so much easier
im revisiting this video and i just imagined a princess mononoke game with the structure of the GBC Shantae and i honestly fell in love with this idea even more, great art
you need to become a game dev asap seriously I've been watching your channel for awhile now and it has nothing but pure gold you need to turn this arts into games they're too good to be dismissed
The music in the animation sequence through me because I use the same sounds in my Shorts 🤣 I heard it start to play and panicked that my own stuff was playing for some odd reason. Excellent work as always!
This is really amazing work. It completely captures the look amd feel of a gba aesthetic while holding true to the style of the source material. Honestly blown away. I wish this was a real gba game. I'd have bought it in a heartbeat
I wish I could like this video more than once. Your pixel art is absolutely fantastic! The details you are able to squeeze out of just a few small squares is incredible. I really appreciate hearing your thought process so I can try and get better too.
Another Awesome episode! Love the graphics, all the details and colors! And the effect with old TV set! Great job. Now I need to watch that Anime. I've never watched it before. 🤩🔥
This is gorgeous pixel art. Far too many think it's easy and you not only made gorgeous work, but explained how much thought and nuance goes until doing it right.
This is a very interesting study. GBA games typically employ the use of bold outlines and bright colors against low contrast backgrounds to make the characters stand out more on the system's tiny screen. Other games would constrain the proportions of the characters into a chibi look to emphasize important details like facial expressions.
The screen is not actually very small, it has nice legible big-ish pixels for its relatively low resolution. But the vast majority of consoles also have a very low-gamut, desaturated screen, as this was necessary to achieve high-ish luma contrast and improved brightness in reflective operation mode, as it's powered by incoming light - and yet even contrast and brightness aren't great, these are fundamentally the physical limits to how well a screen can work with front-harvested light. Games use much more vibrant colours, to somewhat compensate for the screen's muted colour reproduction. High contrast backlit screens usually pass around 1/10th of the light emitted by the backlight unit through their white pixels. If screens with such construction were modified to work with front incident light, the light would need to pass twice, and only 1/20th of the light would remain. Even if the screen was more efficient, at standard gamut, a better ratio than 1/4 cannot be achieved. And yet at a good angle, the white colour on GBA screen almost matches the light grey buttons and side trim. The luma contrast isn't terrible either, marred mostly just by the wear of the protective lens on the enclosure. Today, people usually see representations of GBA games on their screens as captured from emulators, or from Gameboy Player, or Consolizer, because it's insanely difficult to photograph or film the GBA screen, even if it looks "fine" in person - on a sunny day outdoors, under just the right angle - and these captures are equivalent to raw digital data as it's sent to the screen, not how it appears on the physical screen.
TH-cam randomly suggested this video to me. You did an absolutely amazing job with the artwork and the video itself. I found it very informative and very entertaining. I checked out your channel and binged watched almost all of your videos. They are all super high quality and insanely well done! I just subscribed and I can't wait to see what you put out next.
Thank you so much first taking the time to make these videos for us. I would pay for this information. You should repackage all your stuff from the perspective of a linear training course.
Just stumbled across your channel and I’m immediately in love! I’ve always been obsessed with pixel art especially in that game boy advance era. Thank you for creating such great content!
This was so exciting to watch from start to finish. It’s awesome that you can make pixel art so accessible and still manage to blow me away with the final product.
You Really are an inspiration... What brilliant tutorial... Lots of elements to draw and a lots to learn here. Really well done. You should go into programming your own game. It would, the game that it, be really good because you have that powerful storing element in all your design, and I'm sure ir would translate very well into a game. Once again very well done.
Amazing! I felt so inspired by your videos to start in the pixel art world. I have no background whatsoever in arts but been reading and watching all your videos more than one time to understand some concepts. Please keep up the good work.
Very happy to hear that, and thanks for your support! I was pretty much in the same boat when I got serious about digital art about 6 years ago, so keep at it and feed that inspiration! Best of luck with your pixel art journey! :D
I really enjoyed your background composition process. As you mentioned, it started to become the majority of the video but I wouldn't have minded if you continued elaborating more. This is a little bit longer than what you normally post, but I think it's a nice break to examine a more extensive scene. You video editing is always on point, and "hiding" the last bits make for a good reveal. However, in the interest of education, I wonder if you've consider a "behind the scenes" video for some projects. You could make another 6-10 minute video on animating this scene. Honestly, your frank teaching style and the way it's edited is what brings me back every video, so any extension on that is appreciated.
That was a great video. I don't know anything about pixel art or animation but you made it really easy to follow along and understand what you were doing. And the end result was incredible, it really made it feel like a game that could have existed.
Thanks so much dude, I tend to make these vids towards a 'pixel audience', so it's really nice to know that they could be appreciated and understood without feeling like you're missing some kind of prerequisite knowledge. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching! :D

You said “if you’ve made it this far” and I was like “huh?” I hadn’t even recognized it was 25 minutes! So good!
lol same actually. I guess it's true - time flies when you're having fun.
I just noticed because of you
Maybe a Porco Rosso pixel art in the style of a Shoot em up would be neat
yes please!
Ooh great idea, that needs to happen at some point! :D

@@dariosilvestri473 yes
@@dariosilvestri473 Meh. Spirited Away gets done too much by fan artists. Would be more fun to see less popular stuff like Castle in the Sky.
wolves (and most dogs) have big chests and thinner waists in general. They're built for running, so they have massive lungs relative to their size
I love this, really amazing art here!

it was 25 minutes?

btw I love this scenery with the old tv 24:40
Man.
If they actually try making the game I think you should be the artist. It looks amazing!!
Also thank you for inspiring me too do better pixel art
damn nice artwork. An idea for your next pixel art, make a kiki's delivery service scene in the Gameboy color restrictions
@SvenDraws Haha yes and would fit the cartoony vibe of the old school GBC games
Thanks! I've actually done Kiki's before in the style of the original Gameboy! :D
