Pixel artwork artists

@Ricardo Regarding the color range. Do you plan to draw pictures in the limited color range of 8 bit (4 bit per RGB channel) like back in the 80s and 90s? I ask because your pictures are using 24 bit (8 bit per RGB channel).
The program Grafx2 (website also contains some pixel-art), similar to Deluxe Paint, can be used to draw low resolution pics in low color range.
Probably you use Photoshop at the moment?

[Ricardo]

@thomas Yes, I´m using Photoshop. For me, the challenge is to use a canvas with a very limited number of pixels to “imitate” the style and paint every single detail and the expressions of the faces from the original work.

PD.: The Download link for the MacOs version of Grafx2 is not working.

@Ricardo
Now you have a new goal:
The Thimblewed Collectors Box Cover

[Ricardo]

@tlammert That´s is a great idea !!
I´m still waiting for my box so I have to wait some days to start drawing because I always work with the box on my desk like main reference.

I have just discovered the pixel art gallery of Jason Tammemagi, who has drawn many really inspiring post.apocalyptic sci-fi images and also a few ones related to movies and TV series.

I’ll share here just a few but I suggest you to visit his gallery, because there are a lot more awesome works.

It’s difficult not to cite Octavi again, when he creates such beautiful drawings.

Here is his recent drawing for Halloween 2017 (click it to enjoy the details):

Octavi has also published in the last years several other Halloween-inspired drawings on his website.

@Ricardo

Thanks !!!
Oh, yes. My plan is draw ALL the cover arts from the Lucasfilm graphics adventures. The next I have in mind is Grim Fandango, my favourite game after MI1 & MI2

Don’t forget Zak! Lots of stuff happening on that cover…

[Ricardo]

I started working in that today. It’s a VERY difficult cover…

Hey! That’s me!

You look a lot younger in your avatar.

I just finished today the cover art of Zak McKracken.
It has been one of the most complicated…

Hope you like it.
