Hey Tofu, for a long time I'm wondering if is okay to share two mediums (traditional ink&gouach and pixels) under one account/brand or if is better to split my art in two different online personas and places. Because I'm affraid that if I going to share everything under only one blog that for example people loving just pixel art will not be interested in me because of my other mediums.

Can you help me please with this uncertain decision? What do you think is better?

Thank you so much!

PS: I really love your art and you are one of my the most favorite artists. 💚

i post both though not that often. some people don’t like it but i don’t really care, my blog is mine for my art, no matter what kind. tag it accordingly and if people want they can block those tags

i do think 2 blogs is better from an impressions efficiency standpoint ? but i already do so much drawing and emails and invoices and boring admin stuff i dont want to create even more accounts im tired lol

i tag it #not pixel art

its basically about if you want to put in the effort to seperate them or not. and its fine to feel like it all falls under your own same brand. i keep pixel art only on my portfolio where it matters

(thank you btw <3)

I wish you all cozy fall! 🍂

I was asked by a friend yesterday if I could offer basic tips about comic paneling. As it turns out, I have a lot to say on the matter! I tried breaking down the art of paneling using the principles of art and design, and I hope it helps you out!

EDIT: uh uh there are a lot of people reblogging this, so i figure i may as well append this now while i can lol

This whole thing was very much cranked out in a few hours so I had a visual to talk about with a friend! If this gives you a base understanding of paneling, that's awesome! Continue to pull in studies from the comics you see and what other artists do well and don't do well! You can tell paneling is doing well when the action is flowing around in its intended reading format.

Here's the link to the globalcomix article from which I pulled the images about panel staggering! Someone sent in a reblog that it wasn't totally clear that the 7th slide mostly covers what NOT to do in regards to staggering, and that is my mistake!

I saw in a tag that someone was surprised I used MamaYuyu too, and I don't blame them lol. If I had given myself more than a couple hours maybe I would have added something else on, I just really admire MamaYuyu's paneling personally.

uh uh, final append: I am by no means a renowned master of paneling, so if you find anything off base here, by all means, counter it with your own knowledge and ways you can build upon from here! Art is always a sum knowledge of everything we find. 💪

Hello Tumblr! Let's begin the journey! :)

Hi, I'm starting to look into making my own video game and I'm debating between 8 bit and 16 bit pixel graphics. I was wondering, if you knew of a good place I could go for examples of the difference between the two? I've looked on tumblr but most of the pixel art here either doesn't say which one it is or it's tagged with both

when people talk about 8bit or 16bit they are usually talking about the era of graphics. so 8bit might look like a game that came out on the NES (an 8 bit console), shovel knight is a famous example of an 8bit styled game.

while 16bit could be SNES graphics, something like breath of fire or super metroid

your best bet would be to look up the catalog on those consoles
