I have been trying for years to get good at 3D modeling with Blender and have also failed. But I didn’t let that stop me using Blender to produce illustrations for my sci-if epic interactive fiction game that ended up being nominated for a minor award for graphics (it didn’t win).
Let me introduce you to the last resort of the struggling artist - extreme stylization. Really good pixel art is a very difficult discipline but terrible pixel art can be just as appealing if you push a style you can call your own.
Be bold.
- ted_bunny 6mo agoWhat terrible pixel art would you say is good?
- AndrewStephens 6mo agoA lot of the original 8bit games that pixel art tries to invoke have quite terrible art, even by the standards of the day.
- ted_bunny 6mo agoGood point. It's really cool how new this artform is. I bet there's a good book on its evolution out there.
