Hardest Pixel Art Challenge So Far!
Ойын-сауық
In this video, I'm taking on our Hardest Pixel Art Challenge So Far! This challenge is a lot harder than it looks.
If you're looking for a fun and challenging pixel art challenge, be sure to check out this video! I'll show you how to do it. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, this video is a great way to improve your pixel art skills!
This is Septembit 2022, a 30 day pixel art challenge, with strict pixel art colour and size limits. This year the pixel theme was Farm, including 30 farm based prompts for 30 days. The challenge is perfect to learn how to draw pixel art as a beginner, learn some beginner tips, or improve your pixel art in general, or for projects such as game dev.
In this video I show you my process for completing this pixel art challenge, as well as showcase some community pixel art made by YOU! Let me know which piece is your favourite in the comments.
If you want to take part in this pixel art challenge, all of the files are available on our community discord channel, if you're a game dev, you could even turn your pixel art into a game, as I have done in the previous years! Check out my other videos to see!

hi, last year I saw your challenge to draw adventure characters and am so impressed with all those creative versions. Recently, I've been play a board game blood on clock tower, there are soooo many characters in it. Will it be possible that some day there will be a challenge to create pixel art for the "blood on the clock tower" roles?

Haii, I'm programming a farming game like Stardew Valley and I would like some characters running around but the time effort for pixeling every animation for many characters is just too high. Do you have some kind of advice or a tool for me to help? Every help is appreciated!
@saultoons
Жыл бұрын
I guess you can make a template animation that you can just put the other character features on, but you’re probably not going to avoid the amount of work required for something like that, a template or standard walk/run cycle would be good for some efficiency but it’s still a long process, there’s a reason stardew valley took years to create hehe 😁 you got this!
