This is the introduction to my new series of videos where I try to analyze popular art from games I have a personal connection with and also try to understand their direction on style whilst creating imaginary add-on assets for them, like I would have as a professional on the team during it's original development. With this series I want to learn more on (what I call the essential skill of an artist) observation, approach different styles and prove to be able to work within defined art directions. I hope you will join me on this series and find one or more aspects of it interesting or even inspiring enough to try out some recreations yourself :) 0:00 Artists and Labels 2:17 Forget about Labels and Observe again 3:28 Observing Style - What is it about? 4:55 What it is not about! Note: You will not find simple fan art or 1:1 artwork copies on here and I also do not plan on this to be a tutorial series. Although it might certainly be educational to some of you, when it comes to me displaying my approach on learning about the work of other artists. However be aware that I don't claim perfection on my creations done on these videos and consider myself more of a student during the whole process not a lecturer.

Another section to the channel, where I try to get back to my roots as an early 2000s pixel nerd ;) before venturing into "the efficient" route. Starting with the most basic of basics: A Forest: Dirt, Grass, Rock and a Tree. I used to create pixel art day after day, but never came around to master it, despite my passion for this style. I really love this asthetic of abstract worlds and characters. It depicts a lot but also leaves so much to your own imagination. It really never seemed obsolete to me. I am glad that after a while of being shamed as old and useless, it now stands strong as an alternative to hyper realistic ambitions. Please note: I am not taking side for any style. All of it has its own specific value and I love all of it :) More from me: Buy on Fiverr: https://www.fiverr.com/jana_ochse ​​Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/2dpixx/ ​​Visit my Artstation: https://www.artstation.com/2dpixx​​ Check out my Website: http://www.2dpixx.de/ ​​Support me: https://www.patreon.com/2dpixx​​ Credits: Music: Alexandr Zhelanov, https://soundcloud.com/alexandr-zhelanov "Path to Lake Land" https://opengameart.org/content/path-to-lake-land Ambience Sound: TinyWorlds "Forest Ambience" https://opengameart.org/content/forest-ambience
