"You can't make decisions on something that doesn't exist" is something I really needed to hear. Has helped me so much just starting with some kind of blob, and then tweaking it. Great video as usual!

Inspiring work! At first I thought the chain was a pocket watch, since he's a conductor. Really cool how much you can do with such a small canvas! Thanks for sharing!

Adam sounds so much like Bob Ross. Really relaxing.

Watching your process is amazing man. The way you started by drawing a big blog outline and turned it into a good looking character.

I really like him. Was a fan of the tiny hammer to give some contrast with how huge he was, but if this is the context we meet him it's the right call - he's definitely more conductor than jeweller. Also can we talk about the steam-mane on the train horse?! Outstanding.

Amazing, I really like the character noticeable in this sprite. You can immediately imagine what kind of a guy he would be. Very nice!😎 Anyways, I reeaally enjoy this kind of videos, keep it going😁

The bright red hair is something so specific I'd keep that for the main character only. The red highlight on the conductor's hair makes it look like he's the main character's dad or they could be related. It's always fun to watch you do pixel art. Great video.

he gives of such braum vibes from runeterra and I love it. such a wholesome homie

i love this content so much! im starting my own game dev journey. im learning both pixel art and programming and this channel has been my main inspiration for the art side of things. thank you for all that you do!

Thank you for all your help Adam

Great video. Love watching you work.

Thanks for the explanation at the end! I was really struggling with sprites for a while, and mostly focused on making portraits, but I will definitely try to branch out into sprites more with some of your techniques :)

Dude the speed it took yoy too make it was amazing 🤩 honestly its fun watching your process, usually when i draw i dont try things out becuase im scared im gonna make it worse somehow but just watching this has kinda inspired me tok try out allittle more 😂

I've come to the conclusion that my biggest flaw is outfit design, this guy looks amazing, mine look generic, can't wait to play Insignia

You are insanely talented

yo! Snowpiercer in the desert looks awesome!

Awesome video

i really liked the version where you just made him a little taller and wider, i think you should go for it!

Working on a new character currently and just saw this posted!

So inspiring man. You might be the most talented and skilled pixel art artist ive ever seen. Just wanted to ask what color palette you use? The colors just seem wonderful and i want to test them! Goodluck and i will definitely buy Insignia when it drops. I recently got aseprite and ive been trying to learn pixel art and you have been my biggest inspiration. I thank you on behalf of all the people that youve inspired!

Hey @ 4:40 what tool did you use to raise that section up? Thanks for the awesome content!

Yeah it looks easy when you draw a single frame but it becomes difficult in multiple frames for animation. Btw nice video 👍 and lopi music ❤

Make a video about creating 1bit pixel art.

I would be happy if you answer this question , thank you : Walking in Aseprite etc. I don't understand how they do the attack effects. Can you express this with characters consisting of zeros?

Armins dad?????

Like another comment said, I really think that chain should be connected to a pocket watch. Goes with the train/conductor/engineer vibe. You could even add in an (idle?) animation of him checking his pocket watch.

🤩

I hope next design about evil person or evil gangs member.. anyway.. need advise how to make the chara look evil

Good

Hi Adam. Hi buddy. Hi Pal.

Hehehehe i was first, also its been awhile and cant wait to watch

off-topic, but adam is a really handsome guy

В какой программе рисуешь?

Daddy Armin?! 😮

The stardew music almost put me to sleep ngl

Hey i was wondering if you would be willing to help me make all the animations i need for a sprite i made. Ill gladly pay you i just am not the best artist and i honestly would love some help as im trying to make a game to sell. And need this character to function

The last time I was this early I ended up in NICU.

شو بيقربلك علاء وردي؟

Yeah, I think making him a bit taller would be helpful. While his bulk is obvious, his height actually comes off as short. Even though he's taller than the main character, if they're not side-by-side (like in the horse-head train example image) one could get the impression that he's actually shorter. I know it really sucks to be compared to someone else. "Hey, you know Brandon James Greer? Do videos like him!" I've had people say stuff like that to me and it makes me want to put my head (or theirs) through a wall. Buuuuuuuuut. Good advice is good advice, right? I think you have a great personality, great soft-spoken voice, and you're enthusiastic and engaging; however, you might allow yourself to be TOO rambly. It lengthens the videos with fluff, and if I weren't just completely fascinated by what you do, and how well you do it, I don't know that I would keep watching. Maybe KZfaq isn't that big of a deal for you, or you have other revenue, or maybe you just really like how you do things now, and that'd all be good, but assuming you want to push your channel and viewership? Perhaps coming in with a voiceover, even a non-scriped, but EDITED voice-over, could enhance not only the pacing, but it would allow you to apply music or otherwise play with the video editing in a way that presents your particularly stylistic flair in a more freeing way. Right now you obviously have your overlay and your intro. You have a kind of brand and it works really well, but because your videos are so off-the-cuff, well, I wonder if you're not even conveying the information you have in a way that really allows you to spread your creative and didactic ("teacherly") wings. In closing, I believe you have a lot to offer, not just in the way of entertainment, but in skills and tips to help others improve, and if making your videos more entertaining, with better pacing and a strong style would do that, then what's the downside? Well, we know the downside: Time. Editing videos takes time. It might just not be feasible for you to make more refined (not an insult!) videos, but I think it would be a boon to you and your viewers as well. If nothing else, perhaps it's something to consider? Love your work as always, pal.

But the "woke" style is a little... 😅
