Hey dustdfg!
Thank you so much for the comprehensive list of youtube channels! Pure awesomeness! I am familiar with a just a few on the list in particular AdamCYounis- he is legendary haha! I love Pixel Overload too! SO grateful for your in depth and wonderful reply!
I actually have a PDF of pixel logic too !!! (It's so amazing right??!!!) and I am so glad you recommended paying for it and supporting the awesome pixelers that made it with love!~ I really wanted a physical copy of the book too since I refer to it so much but unfortunately I haven't seen it for sale in Australia and I was going to print it out but because it's so big it was going to cost a lot. I hope there is a physical book someday- there deserves to be.
I would like to learn more about procedural/generative art too! I think the process of making art is going through an evolution atm and excited to be on board with that!
I wanted to share with you a special website I found! (If you haven't found it already).
https://www.spriters-resource.com/
It is really useful for working out and learning how sprite sheets are presented/seeing beautiful pixels.
