That's because I'm pretty sure it's fake. I think I recall the guy edited the final version to make it look better. Try this exact thing yourself and it will look worse.

They hate low quality pixel art, shit you see in games like Terraria, Binding of Isaac rebirth and such.
It's because the developers didn't use Pixel Art because it looks good, but because they wanted to save time on not having to make detailed art.

Then you also got mixed bags like the recently announced chink game that has good pixel art in a 3d low poly world, but then fucks it up completely by having absolute GARBAGE animations that are just lazy skeletal shit.

You have to be born with the talent. If you can't draw now you'll never be able to draw ever for your entire life.

In the context of video games (aka its origin), pixel art has everything to do with resolution
Sprites could only be a certain size and use a certain number of colors due to technical limitations
You can make something that looks like pixel art by reducing your palette, but that doesn't make it pixel art. It just stylistically resembles pixel art.

Born with the talent. Practice helps, but you'll never be good at drawing without the natural talent.

It would take low effort pixel indie games to a whole new level.

If palette and resolution aren't considerations, any digital art is pixel art, as it is made from pixels, and the term is utterly meaningless.
Pixel art is descended from video games and obviously takes inspiration from them. It was born due to those technical limitations. To seperate the two is idiotic.

Being made of pixel also has nothing to do with art being pixel art.
Again, do your fucking research

i was never good at art, never really born with talent but im somehow decent from learning quickly,i learned how to draw shapes and forms from hours of practice and its just easy when you have an idea in your mind, im the best graphic artist in my advertising class after all

No one posts their work because a bunch of faggots call it shit for not being comparable to SNK titles. Games where they had a whole time of artist with years if experience in the art industry, not just in video games but in film and TV production.
I understand the frustration with indie devs pumping out shitty looking games, but a majority of people don't seem to understand that 2D animation is dead as fuck as an industry. No one is being trained in 2D animation anymore and there aren't enough people passing down their knowledge to newer generations. The end result is a bunch of amateurs who don't know jack shit making an attempt because of nostalgia or they found a look simple enough that they can pull off without having to worry about talent.
I'm not providing an excuse for indie pixel art games with bad pixel art, just a reasoning as to why things are the way they are today. You will never get another Metal Slug tier game unless someone dumps actual money into the project hiring the best specifically for the look (Wayfoward Games) or an indie dev is devoted enough to work on it for years (Iconoclast, Owlboy). Even then, they fall short because the talent pool is fucking drained.

I know this is a pixel art thread, but how does anyone go about finding 3D artists for a game?

I'm a software dev with no art skills. I'm using Godot. With the recent removal of Twisted Treeline and the not so recent removal of Dominion I would like to create a moba, allowing dedicated servers similar to CS/TF2, but for these two main game types. I have a pretty good anti-cheat algorithm that I have patented that I can use when verifying game authenticity even if on a dedicated server.

Any where I can go to get a 3D artist? IT would have to be free work, more like a duo project. I would like to beat the Shrine of Imana developers to the punch.

That's the tough question. I would be funding most of it out of pocket to work on anyways, I can handle most licensing expenditures. I said a duo project because I would like to work in their ideas they would have too. I would want the ideas of whoever I partnered with to have a stake in the game as well. I just don't want stupid idea guys who do nothing.

Most Royalty Free models I see aren't original designs. And most of the "game ready" animations aren't in place. I've already gone through the 3D tutorials in godot, but how in the hell am I to design a landscape that looks even slightly attractive.

There's your problem.
Imitating, editing, and even copying someone else's work is a fine way to get started. At some point you'll need to branch out and learn some actual fundamentals, but at the beginning there is nothing wrong with just emulating.

you're not wrong

You don't need talent.
You need diligence, humility and insight.

Half the time people fail at art is because they're too stubborn to change their methods or adapt to other methods to shake shit up.

Post your art.

No.

This is nothing new. It's a similar technique as using pre-rendered sprites like in DKC or FF7. You'd still need to model shit either using software or irl and touch it up. And you'd need overall good art direction, consistency, and lighting. I'd hardly call it cheating. Most of the time you're gonna have to model from scratch. Otherwise good luck making nice art with just stock photos.

So what are these barriers that keep people from reaching anywhere near their real potential? The answer to that can be found in another question, and that's this: Which is the most universal human characteristic — fear or laziness?

As someone who draws for fun and for my own shitty mobile games.

Pixel art is way easier. It can get super aesthetic, but it will always be easier. Anything you can do with normal art, you can dumb down into pixel art extremely easily. And it takes far less time and polish to make work.
Plus people aren't going to notice errors as easily with pixel art and will take it in stride, with more detailed drawings a slightly mistake can be extremely noticeable and you have to have extremely clean outlines.

Thanks for describing talent ya dipshit

I want to screencap this and make a compilation but I'm not sure how I can preserve the animation

Admittedly that's as much animation as the average pixel art indie game.

atf?

use after effects or a 2D animation tool like flash.

Nice reply nerd.

I'm not the guy you're arguing with, but I agree that natural talent does exist in all things. But just like any skill you can practice it and become just a good. Just because it takes you a little longer does not mean that its impossible to be able to master things.

Don't

>own shitty mobile games
What mobile games, Anons?

make sure to upload it to r/Yea Forums bro! epic screencap comp!

That's what I tried to express with the scenario I described. However to add to that, by the time you reached the point the talented person, he will already have reached a higher point, you will always be inferior, this might not be a huge problem in arts if all you want to do is pay bills drawing furry commissions but there's fields where hard work alone won't be everything because some guy is naturally prone to absorbing information faster

Yeah holy shit

Link to torrent or mega?

Please show your art. I hope it's cute

sure doing that is easy but dont expect to get respect from people in your field because they'll be able to see how lazy you are

Ebin

It depends on what your metric for success is in art. Is it financial prowess? Because many are beyond mastery in terms of perspective and composition and don't make nearly as much money as someone who is famous for painting their ass and rolling on a canvas. There is art for the sake of obtaining your own personal mastery and art for appealing to a mass media. I feel like your mindset is not geared towards personal or even financial success in the art field.

what program is that?

I think you're skipping a few steps here. My argument for talent existing is that if you are matched up against someone else in the exact same conditions and you have to master something, and if that person is naturally prone learning that shit faster then that person is talented. I have been both the person that "loses" and the person that's "talented" and I can safely say there wasn't any lazyness involved. It's easier for "artists" on Yea Forums to throw the lazyness insult around because the goal for most of them is being able to shit post on ic

You could easily train an AI to generate pixel art from hi-res pictures. Let's do it and put indies out of work.

>if you are matched up against someone else in the exact same conditions
Ok, but this doesn't happen. Art is not a competition. You can't "lose" as you put it.

my robot can do it faster

Why the fuck would you ever waste your time for this shithole?

PUT ME IN THE SCREEN CAP

bravo

just try men, they'll make anything into a competition

no.

It does happen, not in drawing maybe but I've dealt with this situation multiple times in music and sports. And talent can't exist in one field and not in other. You can also lose in drawing and painting since competitions exist, the market exists and the natural urge to be the best also exists, but this is just me being pedantic since I know what you meant to say

explain

It definitely happens in music, I've failed at trying to get into a couple local orchestras here and there, but it wasn't really a loss. I can still play music. I can still strive to better myself. Rostropovich existing doesn't prevent me from being a cellist. It doesn't invalidate the effort I've put in. If you're in it to compete, you're in it for the wrong reasons.

>If you're in it to compete, you're in it for the wrong reasons
No matter what you do, you are in a competition because either you want to pay bills with the skills you develop or you want to share the fruits of your labour with others, and in both cases there are other people competing for the same spot as you are. Sure playing the drums in my basement is fun and helps me express whatever is going on in my mind but humans alwas strive for more. humanity should cull anyone who isn't the very best at what they do anyways

As someone who loves pixel art, I'm very much not in favor of super high resolution pixel art. I know it's not cheating by any means, but it just doesn't give off the same vibe and it kinda kills it for me. I still think that image looks great, but I wouldn't care much for a whole game to look like that, and I'm a sucker for cute pixel art (which is rare these days).

Time for a hard pill. No matter what you do, how good you get, and how far you go, someone will always be better than you. Accept this universal fact and stop letting it dictate what you do and how you do it.

>other people competing for the same spot as you are
Just like with Rostropovich, someone like Taylor Swift existing does not invalidate my musicianship. I can't remember the last time I let someone else listen to me play. That's not to say it's been a long time, it's just not a focus. If they wanna listen then that's cool, but I don't play music to compete over other peoples' ears.
>Sure playing the drums in my basement is fun and helps me express whatever is going on in my mind but humans alwas strive for more.
There's more things to strive for than I could ever achieve in my lifetime. There's always another song, another style, another instrument to learn, or improving on ones I have learned. You could spend your entire life striving for more without ever leaving your basement.
