Description Edit: my first Daily Deviation ; A ; I am so honored, thank you all so much! <3 This is so amazing ; v ; <333 You're all lovely !

Whew...

For and his roommate, both of whom reminded me of the song (Bronte by Gotye).

Seriously. All of you. Go listen to it.

Inspired in part by the Big Head Challenge put out by years ago~but I didn't use very many colors...only 23 (which is more than I usually do as a pixel artist, but still less than many people).

I used a lot of references, so watch out...

[link] by Henry Christian-Slane for the woman's skin palette
[link] by ai-em-maes for the actual shape of the doll
[link] for general pixel-y reference
Bronte by Gotye video for the background

Baseless. MS Paint. Trackpad

I am ded

I only use a trackpad too! But, this looks so much better then what I'd expect on a trackpad.

I do have a mouse as well, and some of the other art I have was done with a mouse. ^^ But this was made while I was on a laptop without my mouse. (:

Thank you!

MisterEclipse [2012-11-24 01:51:07 +0000 UTC]

Excellent! I love the shadows and the realistic look of this. 23 colors? I imagine that most of it is the gray tones, yes?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

K3nel1OS In reply to MisterEclipse [2012-11-24 01:57:47 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much. <3

Yes, most of the colors are in her skin alone, mostly due to the background being rather simplistic (i.e., atmospheric and lacking detail). Only 6 of the 23 colors are in the background itself. Allow 1 for the white outline, and the grey tones make up 16 of the entire picture.

Wow. X.x Sounds hard to get this. I could never have the patience. ADHD.

K3nel1OS In reply to MisterEclipse [2012-11-24 02:15:29 +0000 UTC]

It's kind of hard, but I just add shadows as I go along (usually I make a pretty contrasting palette, then make 'transition' tones to make it smoother~) so it isn't so hard. xD

Hm yeah~

MisterEclipse In reply to K3nel1OS [2012-11-24 02:17:24 +0000 UTC]

It's kind of hard, but it isn't so hard. xD Okay then! I should try it sometime when I get a computer to work on (I use my Kindle, so I can't do this stuff).

Well, I didn't think I really needed to. If people don't know the song and would like to listen to it, I'm sure that they're perfectly capable of typing "bronte gotye" into a Youtube search bar.

fixinman In reply to K3nel1OS [2012-11-24 03:38:09 +0000 UTC]

I thought it should be included because I like to look at a picture while while listening to the song that inspired it. It really is quite the effect. But you are right.
