Pixel Art Projects

In 2020, as an effort to familiarize myself with pixel art, I decided to try and make my own sprites that mimicked the art style of the Nintendo DS-era Pokémon games. I started by editing pre-existing sprites to match the characters I wanted to portray, and I recolored, redrew, and spliced sprites together until I got a feel for the art style.

Once I got comfortable doing that, I decided to continue doing pixel art with the art styles of other games that utilize pixel art. Using what I had learned from mimicking these art styles, I applied my newfound pixel art skills towards recreating and learning from the art styles of other games – and eventually developed my own.
