Final Projects

 So I decided to do pixel art for two of my favorite things. The Simpsons (before the 14th season) and Calvin and Hobbes. For the Simpsons, I went over the couch gag scene, but the resolution is low for pixel art so many thing proved to be problematic. Fingers were hard to replicate accurately, often times I would have to alter the look so they did not appear pointy or fat. Marge's hands in particular, but the gist of it is successfully portrayed. Maggie's head and eye came out smushed, and her hair is not very convincing, but overall I'd satisfied.

The Calvin and Hobbes scene was challenging because the lines were not particularly linear. The brush stroke is unpredictable, fat in some spots and thin in others. There were subtle colors in what seemed that a solely black and white color scheme. I found blues and red in there, but for the sake of ease and stuck with blue and grey. Some parts I did not cover like very soft shades under the snow mounds, as they looked strange when pixelated. Still, I am satisfied.

Upgrade 2

Here's the upgraded Proto logo. I decided to add some vines and leaves at the beginning of the process to fill up some space. I changed the colors of the evolving man and the logo to be a little darker. Although, now that I see it after a day, the whole thing seems a bit dark. I had to look up online for how to do a rock texture, and the process was a bit strange but it worked well. The cave painting hand was the final touch; I took a big brush lightly over a hand and cut out the hand part.
