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.

oohh, I've been on a stream strike since my mental health was kinda wonky aff and streaming empty streams was getting to me T w T;; But I'm planning on setting up a legit schedule and streaming consistently starting next week I reckon (since that's when terms begin again) ~

Q w Q it's always a on and off struggle, battle thing with my sleep pattern OTL I think it's usually how I feel during those days or if I've been gaming recently ; v ; that's when my schedule while derp up;;
Like usually when I start gaming my sleep patterns just become all reverse LOL but then recently I fixed it again;; but NOW it's one of those days where I'll wake up and see a bright warm sunny day and feel very unmotivated (something with sunny skies that make me really sleep ; v ; ) but then I'd become sad that I didn't get things done during the day and make it up by doing it at night since I usually feel more focused during the night ; - ;
Ahhh yeah Health first Q - Q)/
yeah I get that too sometimes;; or like the first 30min of my stream, where there's like barely anyone there it's like "why even bother to continue to stream , _ ,? -sighs-"
Ohh if you set up a schedule i'll likely be able to drop by more often o w o <33333 yushhhhhhh

seems like gaming is your biggest problem pft :'DD But awhh tru, sunny skies are like, so peaceful and the warmth is like so cosy, just makes you wanna be lethargic and lazy xD Ho goodness, you need a room of darkness then LOL Trick yourself into believing it's always night ;o; Maybe that'd make you more productive //slapped
hhh so tru ;w; ooh yey~ but that depends on that wonky sleep schedule again LOL <3

ikr :')
Honestly I've already tried to cut them out of my life with the occasional times i'll just pop back in and out on MapleStory//SLAPPED. It's okay tho :'D I only do my dailies which doesn't take more than an hour and just afk the day away :')
EXACTLY!!! LIKE! How do you expect someone to stay awake on such a goood day!?! Q - Q
Omg you're right! that's honestly a great idea! I wish I could try ;- ; my room had one of those curtain things (not actually curtains but they're like this thick sheet of scrolled up material that's hanging from my ceiling kinda like those school scrolly things they pull down from upfront of the chalkboard so the teacher can use the overhead projectors?) that just block out light but... it sorta... came off my ceiling a few years ago'' and I just kinda never touched it ever again.
The only other dark places I know are my washrooms;;
To be honest tho, still working on re adapting to being alive during the days cause I just don't wan't to work during the night and have the lights on cuz energy and $ ya know? and if you don't have lights on it's like... rip your eyes;;
It's pretty great here in Canada rightnow cuz it's usually rainy/ cloudy so that keeps me awake and alive so far my sleeps fixed again LOLLL
at this rate I'm just going back and forth with each reply telling you "ya it's messed up" "nop it's fixed " LOLL

AMG SHIYU THIS ONE ENDED UP AMAZING *~*
I love it :'3
Uhm... is it still WIP?
I'm just asking because it'd be so awesome when the background wouldn't be a solid color :'3

ShiyumiChan In reply to manuth [2017-04-08 07:21:55 +0000 UTC]
Thankyou ^^
Naw I rarely post anything unfinished here unless it's something important. Ahh the solid bg(background) colour you're seeing is Deviantart's default bg colour since this pixel artwork .gif doesn't have a bg, it's transparent so it depends on what the default bg is (ex. if you go to my page you'll see this artwork, bigger and in my custom box's custom bg skin).
I didn't wanna over do this and add a bg since I was only paid to draw the character, so going out my way to do it would mean more potential $ loss as well as time. This was my first time offering this type of pixel work so without any examples to show I wanted to do really well on it, and I think I got that across real well. I showed what I could potentially create with the platform and slight prop details added and that was an "extra" I gave to the commissioner for free. However I didn't go so overboard with it since I was also looking out for myself and my worth aswell.

xD It's fine, I think the only thing that I've used that hasn't supported transparency is .JPG but .JPG is pewp anyways, no one should really be using it for art tbh LOL

Except you're fine with loss of quality x'D
GIF doesn't have quality loss but it only allows 32 different colors maximally

manuth In reply to ShiyumiChan [2017-04-15 11:08:49 +0000 UTC]
Uhuh - maybe 16 but actually I'm pretty sure it was 32 xD
That's why pictures sometimes loom crappy after exporting them as GIF :'3
