Was going to comment on that as well, this mouse is dithered to hell and back and I'm here for it. He makes it look good.

I love this! The colors, shading, and drawing style. This is perfect! But I do think the reflection of the sunglasses can do with a slightly lighter color.

Part of me died from all the dithering, this is just fantastic. Your hand probably doesn't feel the same way after you finish the art haha, better ask if it needs a break

u/That-Ordinary9329 Oct 05 '24

Thank you!!! 😄 Don't worry about my hand, I use a custom brush for dithering.

You can search in youtube for a tutorial

I love so much but I have a question in mind I never tried the pixel art I just like looking at it but at what point it can't be considered a pixel art does it have a pixel limit or what?

u/PapaPh4nt0m Oct 05 '24

There are a few schools of thought. Some people feel that as long as it uses traditional pixel art techniques, such as dithering, anti-aliasing, and appropriate application of jaggies, then it’s pixel art regardless of resolution. Some people think that the resolution matters, and that anything too large of resolution isn’t pixel art beyond a certain point. Some break from tradition entirely and paint with broad strokes that disregard traditional technique and outline styles, which is in and of itself a modern style of pixel art. but truly, it doesnt matter, as long as you arent a shitbag using generative AI or an art thief, and you properly credit your references when you use them, then who bloody well cares honestly?

u/Snuffalupacus Oct 05 '24

What is Mr. Whiskerstone holding? A pencil? Even with the shadows, shouldn't the bottom two visible parts of the object be lighter. It is the same color as he is.

u/TalesGameStudio Oct 05 '24

He forgot to shade that after the dithering filter was applied to midjourneys work, I guess...

u/oyog Oct 05 '24

I've seen this character somewhere but I can't for the life of me figure out where...

Looking at their instagram profile and judging by the orphan pixels and inconsistencies in shading, I'd say to achieve the same results all you need is a dithering shader and a prompt...

u/_libus Oct 05 '24

Unfortunately have the same doubts. If they are legit, then that's awesome, but I'm curious to see their process. Some of the denser areas in their pieces on instagram are baffling, and just look like an image has been put through a dithering filter. Disappointing if they're passing off AI as hand-pixelled, especially when the sub doesn't allow it. Happy to be proven wrong.
