Lookin for Work/Commissions 🐦🌿

The funds are a lil tight and the coffee is running out 🗣️ More Info 👇

I'm open for short/long term projects, or just for people who want an idea of a pretty picture done in pixel art.

I'm a Landscape Pixelartist with a painterly style; think the comfort of Ross with the schizophrenic detail of Gogh.

If you're interested, I got the prices and other details on the pinned post on my profile/blog.

If you've got other ideas, let me know! I'll be interested to hear em 🔥

Do you have any tips for picking colors and choosing the composition for your drawings? Love your art soooo so much btw

picking colours: i know for a fact i already answered an ask like this once but i can't find it, my response is the same though: experience, knowing what looks good with what, practice, etc. sorry i can't be more helpful on that one

composition: for me i try to direct the eye of the viewer and introduce contrast between values and textures. i made this to sort of explain my main approaches

Areas of high detail can include lots of small lines, a grainy texture, halftones, etc. Either way there's a lot of things for your eye to get caught on. These areas naturally draw the attention of a viewer. So what I do is make sure those areas are the important parts of the drawing - these are the areas i want people to spend most time looking at. I use linear elements of the drawing to direct the eye to the detailed areas. But overwhelming detail everywhere I look can be offputting too so I include areas with low detail and no texture, negative space where the eye "rests", and place them in contrast with the highly detailed areas. This way, the important subjects of the drawing stand out more.

For an example of that, check out 'eye of the otherworld' and try to imagine what it would look like if i had added dense hatching/texture on the birds, and left the horse kind of flat and with a uniform texture. the birds would become the subjects of the drawing instead of the horse.

you can use this to subvert expectations too. by drawing the viewers eyes to an area and then leaving it blank where they expect to see something highly detailed, you can add a disorienting atmosphere - i did this in 'centaur of attention' to invoke the sensation of actually staring up at a rack of studio lighting and a presenter whose face you can't see while the cameras are rolling

Contrast in values (light/dark) is really appealing to the eye. In almost every example there I use black or near black right up alongside paler colours. I really really like value contrast so I use it a lot

A tutorial on meatspace I made for my patrons last year! Making things exist in the same space believably is a difficult process, but hopefully this will help drawing softbodied subjects interacting together a little easier!
