Drawing a waterfall for my landscape challenge was way too complicated. I have no idea how many tries I had, but then I tried it once in pixel art, and BAM! Looks decent on the first try! There’s probably a way to make it better, but I like it!

Why is drawing with little squares so relaxing?

Edit: forgot to put the link to where I found how to make pixelated color gradients:

You did a really nice job. I’ve never tried pixel art but if it’s relaxing I may have to try my hand at it.

It’s a self challenge. I have trouble creating backgrounds, so I went and searched something to better myself!

And no, I don’t work on video games 😆 I just really like the aesthetic! 😁

This is freaking sweet. I love everything about this. You did a spectacular job with this. Reminds me of something you’d see on an old school video game. Kudos to you for pulling off the amazing piece.

I didn’t think about that! That’s a good idea, maybe I’ll do another one with a character collecting coins 🤔 I’ve never animated a background before, so that’s gonna be a challenge for me, but I definitely want to try 😄

Maybe try to make the coins go a bit slower, there a bit fast for video games.
