Extreme situation - mutants go out of the base

Pixel art for today based on videogame Midnight Resistance for console Sega MegaDrive. Good action game. Like Contra.

And this is my drawing the same theme. At the secret bio laboratory about to making mutants, it happened something unexpected. Extreme situation. Mutants starts to go beyond the secret base. And you are super character like Rambo, the only one who can stop them.

Base is huge and located underground. So, lots of levels are here. And lots of defense systems. And lots of green big mutants. Which can crash walls with their heads. So, it is alarm around the base.

 It is known, that at the last level of base, there is most secret hangar with ufo sausage. And few of aliens.

 

Hyperspace Season

Pixel art for today based on videogame Darkxide 32X for game console Sega MegaDrive with expansion 32X. Something like space shooter, and even in 3d. That is pretty interesting.

And this is my pixel art based on. It can be a space arcade. With EDM music. It is such boom music like dance music or remixed when they are made with Ace Of Base, Madonna, Cher, this kind. Such style of music was playing in Ridge Racer 1 for PSX. So, under such boom music you need to fly and collect somekind of balls and shoot enemies ships. Because they are shooting at you.

Such retro arcade style of game. With just like 3d space. You are rotating all directions and shoot everything, who is flying near to you, and you try to catch all the balls. Balls gives scores, and bonus, more ammo and speed up.

Walking the old city you find a map. And It leads to the tomb of necromancer. And you are going through a forest. And reach the enter. Door is slowly opening. And you are going inside. It is cold wind inside.

Step by step, you are exploring this labyrinth, as it is by map, it is huge. And someway it is connected with old city. And tomb itself was opened by magic amulet. Which you have find in old city.

And such explore of labyrinth. Different locations. And different enemies. Equipment, weapons and armor. Everything as it should be in such game. I draw something about Eye of The Beholder for the first time.

Absolute metall

Pixel art for today based on videogame Madouou Granzort for game console PC Engine

. It is a game about robots. And something Japanese.

And this is my drawing about the same theme. So, I think about this theme. And it is a drawing. And if it was to be a game. Then it will have 4 levels. It is short game. But two sides for select from. Blue robots and red robots. And 4 levels for each of them.

All of these robots. They are exploring the planet. And everyone is making it by its own way. Each has its own story behind. And they also clash with each other. It is like shooter explore. Each type of robots is building its own base on the planet. And make a line of their own explore process. Something like this, was in game Total Annihilation. It was also about red and blue robots. There are lots of metal at the planet, and robots need metal a lot. 

Friends rally for a thousand miles

Pixel art for today based on videogame Deadly Racer for system MS DOS. It should be a racing game. Like rally. With rather interesting graphics. But, it is not clear a point about why deadly racing. It looks like rally.

And this is my drawing the same theme. Racing. Just a racing game. Not deadly. Racing with a friends. Summer ride. While it is summer. And grass is green. Summer – it is best time. Bright sun, a little of rain. And lots of flowers and grass is green. Racing at the rally. It is some local competition about thousands of miles forward. Thousand of miles through forest. It can be around a lake or a river. It can be, simply, such isometrical racing. It is only a drawing.

DosCosmo

Pixel art for today based one videogame Star Breaker for MS DOS. I don’t know a lot about this game. But it looks cool. Maybe, I need to play it myself. For interest. To get to know more.

And this is my drawing about the same theme. Space theme. Retro graphics. It is main. You are flying in space and explore it. It is lots of unknown ahead and lots of interesting things too. You are flying in a circle ball. And explore everything. It can be modified. And you can go out of it sometimes. And, also, it can be, also like Commander Keen, platformer game. And mainly it is space shooter with retro colors like MS DOS. Space can be compared with underwater part of ocean. It has lots of unexplored too.

F1 long distance

Pixel art for today based on videogame f1 gp circuits for game computer Amiga. It is in genre formula 1. And here you even can change tiers.

And this is my pixel art about the same theme. Hot asphalt. And intense racing. With a great speed. Top down view. If something to happen – it is not you in a cabin. So relax and have a positive from a big speed. So, it is just a computer game. And if you crash – then nothing happened. Several seconds to lose, and that’s all, a little thing. But to be a leader in a race - it is critical lost in time. So, push gas forward. Control speed and make speed lower on turns. And one more - it is patience. Lots of circles ahead! So, it is a long distance.

Summer Sector – intrude from frontier of evil!

Pixel art for today based on videogame Gunhead Taikai for console PC Engine. It should be I good shmup! Flying and shooting! For all fans, who like to play 8 bit direction games at Friday!

And this is my drawing about the same theme. South space sector. Zone of summer. It was detected some robowarlords from frontier of evil. They make intrude under secret shield of invisible. It was designed special for intrude. And their forces rises in power. It is not in time! Cause in sector Summer no one wants it! So, special forces of Summer are directed to that region. Fate of summer is in your hands!

Maybe this plot, is a little like anime Sailor Moon and mixed with action movies.

You have a lot of interesting designs and concepts that you are bringing to life through your work. That's the biggest plus.

What I am curious about when you say that you are following through with 8-Bit graphics in the vein of NES, are you sure you're not confusing what you are doing with 16-bit in some of these? The reason why I'm bringing this up is because 8-Bit style graphics have a strict set of colors you can use where you'd only be able to use 3 + Transparent pixels. Unless you're trying to Megaman sprites and use two layers per each sprite if you were to use more than 3 colors at that point the work ceases to be 8-bit.

The thing with pixel art is that it's not an easy medium. While it is a subset of digital art the thing is it's also very specific and has a lot of techniques given that it initially worked with with consoles that had limited processing power. Those limitations still remain true concerning the aesthetic of it.

You have the right attitude in going about making work, that's a positive that will serve you going forward. What I would do in your position is to try and find a couple of resources and learn some of the things and strive to push what you can do and achieve a level of mastery, then continue to improve on what you're doing to get to the next level after that. So on and so fourth. I look forward to seeing what you can do in future posts and I would encourage you to keep going with the medium

Hello! Thanks! Thanks for so big reaction! I understand. So you mean retro, you mean 8 bit in a direct way. So with taking into account all resatrictions and limits of the systems. So, MS DOS mean a real VGA or EGA colors, 8 bit mean real NES color sets. I understand. I think i can think about to have also this style. With limits of a real systems. Start for example, with using some color sets. Some CGA EGA color sets for MS DOS. Or some NES colors. 

And as for me, i use word retro, 8 bit and so on words...as a reference to a style. So i really, dont know about real colors and limits of those systems. And i try to ssay some stylization, something like in style of... So, retro, i use as a some old style, so 8 bit as some old style..but , yes today i can do a different resolution, a lots of colors i can use while i draw. And it is connected with ..the point, that i am doing videogames with SDL2.0 library and it is pretty for for retro programming in C. I mean i can use modern powerr and lots of colors, but try to do something like retro... as id ean... but, yes with lots of colors, for example...

So, this is two ways now. OK! I try to check some simple information! Thanks!

It should be a big stone. But there is here atmosphere. Not good for human breath. And even its own plants. And lots of monsters. And it became a home for little monsters, this planetoid is their home. As Spock from Star Trek can say – It is fascinating! I do not have enough data. To describe this.

You space ship is broken. And some little monster takes some details somewhere inside the planetoid. Your scanner shows that details are in a big building at the most opposite part of planetoid. Maybe, he wants to eat it. But he cannot do it. And he takes them.

When you awake, and it was lots of little monsters around you. You need to go though all the planetoid. And maybe become a friend with them. At last, you have nothing, except of shocker and stun phaser.
