Description


Commissioned by:  
Character: Amaterasu | Designed by: BlackBunii
Time: 06.04.17 | Tools: PaintTool SAI, Photoshop CS 6, Wacom Bamboo CTL-470


I was given 3 amazingly designed outfits for Amaterasu to choose from, in the end I went with Blackbunii's design. I though her's was really elegant (honestly all of them were!) I really liked the blue look and since I felt like I haven't worked with many light airy blues... this was perfect for me.
Yes that is a blue tree, initially that was suppose to be saved for something original I had in mind but it just worked sooo well with this character I decided to give her the tree. In all honesty, this was the first time I pixelled a tree.. it's very spontaneous but it somehow ended up working much better than I expected. 
GAHH now that I think about it, if I added some water puddles or a light ground reflection I think that would've been a much more visual treat~ welp too late now, kinda lazy to change it for the 3rd time LEL I'll just leave those ideas for next time I guess.

Personally, I think this is one of my best pixel artwork. As you can see, I really got into shading this~ It's really fun shading with shapes using pixels and since I was working with a bigger canvas, I could really get into the details~ Kinda had a mistake earlier.. so that's why there are some extra random white dots here and there.. (Turns out you can't have airbrushed BG's when it's going to be made into a .gif the airbrushed effect will end up turning opaque white kinda like setting your layer to binary, but instead of black it's white;; ).
I tried animating the flowy items in a different style that I usually see from other pixel animators here and there and thought it was a simple and time effective animation.
Overall, I think I can say I love doing pixel art where it's minimal in animation (simple animations) so I can focus more so on the actual artwork. I can do harder animations but that would definitely lead to me sticking to base colours or 1 shade. It's all about preference really but yeah personally I dont enjoy that as much as something like this.

Anyways just wanted to also Thank the people who came, supported and watched me put this piece together on stream<3 All your compliments and words were really appreciated ^^

I'll also definitely be readjusting my commission prices higher. Thankyou for all the support and warm messages as always! So uh have a wonderful day ^^ Peace out.

I know this is pretty old, but THIS IS SO INCREDIBLE! TOO BEAUTIFUL FOR MY EYES! actually all your art is-
I know how much pixel is time consuming and you put so much details in there;;;;;;;;;;

LOVE IT    
YOU ARE SO INCREDIBLEEEEEEE-
I WANNA CALL YOU SENPAI!!!
Keep up the work, I love what you do!

Btw, this inspired me (the tree is so gorgeous  ) is it okay if I do a pixel art and the tree is made like you do? I just love the beautiful and calm ambiance it gives to the piece. I surely will link back to this piece and to you when I post it. (cuz it wasn't my Idea)
Anyway, I just love your work and will always support you!

Thankyou ^^ <3 
I used PainttoolSAI to pixel 
and then I used Photoshop CS6 to animate it 
(you can also use PS to pixel too but I find it easier to pixel on SAI)

and i know your coms are closed but what would something like this cost ? 
I looked at your com journal but I'm not sure if this is up to date and / or if such a pixel is even aviable as com anymore >< ? Sorry if this question is frequently asked Q_Q

ShiyumiChan In reply to Guro-qu [2017-04-15 11:06:21 +0000 UTC]

Ahh it's fine > v < 
eheh yeah I get that a lot since I'm honestly still new to commissions and what I want to do. Last time I opened commission (besides last month) was like a good 2-3 years ago and many things have changed since x'D.
Yeah don't look at that commission journal, I'm planning on raising my prices a bit more since some friends/supporters were telling me too ; v ;.
For something like this pixel artwork, I'm thinking of somewhere around $50-80 USD depending on how detailed the character is, if they want a simple animation, platform, props, bg, how detailed the bg is etc
I prob won't be opened for a while maybe not til like late may? ;v ; since my waitlist is already full;;  
But I hope that helps
