I’m playing around with a watercolor pixel art style. Franek is a big influence here, but I also picked up some suggestions from this video from Brandon James Greer:
I think the watercolor illusion is even more effective at a scaled down size.
This was faster to make than some of the other pixel art experiments I’ve made so far, which is encouraging. I’m not sure I pulled off the highlight effect, so I’ll probably focus on that more next time.
