Man, I really like this Brandon guy, I love how he makes pictures out of tiny squares.

[@johntiqual]

yeah and he always takes care and keeps it square

That dither brush looks super useful - I appreciate how it patterns relative to the canvas, rather than the initial stroke position 🖌️
It's been really satisfying seeing this piece come together. Although there are so many details in the final piece, this series made the entire process comprehensive 😁
Also nice to see the good ol' CRT Time here ✨

I used to make sprite comics because I couldn't draw but I could edit images in Paint Shop Pro pretty well. I have tried doing the occasional sprite in my current drawn comics in CSP when video games come up but I really could have used these tips. I think a few may even fit my regular art style. Ace job and thanks for sharing these.
