60x60px 12 colors RGB15, I always love how much you can do with so little in pixelart.

Kaelygon is my first furry OC and to this date I use it as a artist- and nickname.
Back in 2016 I stumbled upon Dutch Angel Dragons and it was the first furry community that I was active.
I really like how the face and ears look so round despite the square pixels. It’s always impressive when a complex design is “compressed” to fit into a small pixel art grid and still looks this good. Also a very cute character :3
Thank you so much! ^^
Pixel art has very different techniques to other art but I still spent lot of time tweaking the proportions and line gradients pixel by pixel. Gen 2 pokemon sprites are an other impressive example what you can do with just 4 colors and 56x56 sprite.Doing that pixel by pixel sounds like a ton of work, but it really paid off! And the Gen 2 sprites are definitely impressive, especially because I don’t think pixel art was a thing back then, so they had to come up with their own techniques and couldn’t just google stuff.
dang… it reminds me of classic indie 8 bit games and it’s also so awesome
Thank you! :3
I think the very limited palette and dithering does it. Even gameboy color could display 32768 colors, but the sprites were limited to 4 colors per block due to vram limitation.
