It sucks being good at art and pixel art and having a hard time explaining to people why the left is more impressive and better looking compared to the right

>>712419058 (OP)
Na right is better /thread

>>712419335
fax, left would fuck up if you played it full screen

>>712419425
Left's full screen is 2.5 inches

>>712419058 (OP)
Right is great, stop being a tryhard

>>712419058 (OP)
>having a hard time explaining
this is a sign that you are wrong but not willing to admit it
it will ruin your life if you don't humble yourself

Yes yes very nice well done well done

HOWEVER

>>712419058 (OP)
Left is horrible. The color palettes of so many 90s/nostalgia-bait games are awful and the left image is no exception.

>>712419058 (OP)
>having a hard time
It's not hard. Left is intended to be viewed on a tiny ass screen and for the player to easily distinguish what is what. Right is just modern pixel art decades after such a thing was needed. Probably on a full screen HD display, it's for some aesthetic not because someone is trying to display visuals on a system with 32kb of memory on a 160x144 screen.

>>712419951
Insane how he got so much detail with just 4 colors

Left fucking sucks in motion

the right is what i imagined pixel art would look like in the future when i was a kid so yeah, i won.

>>712419058 (OP)
Both are good.

>>712421071
Holy sovl
It's like a little diorama, and the lizard painting is impressively smooth. A lot of the animations actually have an impressive degree of subtlety, that's hard to do with pixel art. It's definitely better than right which has a generic "lipstick on a pig" sort of style with the fancy effects over very simplistic and boring graphics.

>>712421361
I take it back I was too harsh on right but left is still better

>>712419058 (OP)
Is right from an actual game? Left is from a reddit post, Link's Awakening actually looks like this

This thread is extremely entertaining to read and will be even more so once I reveal that right is from a 2024 Chinese gacha game

>>712419058 (OP)
I'd want right if I'm playing a roleplaying game. I can imagine my cool knight walking into that tavern and roleplaying that he's sitting down to eat as the bar maid flirts with him
Left's artstyle is better suited to a linear non-RPG where you just follow the straight path story and kill mobs and beat the game in 10 hours

>>712421835
And? Does anything change from that? I still like left and right both.

>>712422351
Absolutely not
But I'd wager that, if the original image outright stated it, people would absolutely spam about muh old games having soul and muh gachas being soulless imitations of the original

>>712419058 (OP)
you understand that neither are really all that acceptable today though, right?
if you're talking about good, sure this takes a lot of skill and a lot of time and effort to do, but it's the artform 25, 30 years ago with no huge advancement
pixel art did not stagnate forever, it continually got better, the sprites got larger, they got more detailed, the number of pixels drastically increased, you see this in a bunch of arcade cabinet games
if you look on twitter these days you occasionally stumble into someone making pixel art sprites or even pixel art animations that are truly exceptional and not just copying what was already made 30 years ago and it is very sad that these people don't get recognition and the jobs because they'd rather pay substantially less, spend less time and hire far fewer people for spritework more like this

>>712422752
Gachas generally have appealing aesthetics and designs.
It's everything else that fucking sucks.

>>712419058 (OP)
Well I've got some time to kill, why not give it a shot?

>>712421639
>Is right from an actual game?
It's not. It's just a mockup that will never be playable. That's how people think games looked like back then in their nostalgia tinted memories. It's like those mockups of Pokemon maps like picrel that people think are really impressive. But there's never been a playable game with graphics like that. It's pretty to look at, but only works in a static image. The right side of OP's pic could actually be playable, and probably is.

>>712419951
Where's the gameplay?

>>712419058 (OP)
pixel art games without CRTs are a fucking joke

>>712419058 (OP)
right is better

>>712423769
I could be playable but it's the kind of game that would take so much time to make it would become a vaporware. Pokemon could actually release a game like that in a timely manner if they reinvested the money they make with their game sales into their games but SwSh and SV proved they won't ever do that.

>>712423923
>CRTs are a fucking joke
Fixed that for you.

>>712419058 (OP)
Just AI it lmfao moron imagine picking pixels like a poorfag lollllllll

>>712419058 (OP)
it is for public to decide if an artpiece is good or not

????
It's from Sword of Convallaria, as stated here >>712421835
Unless you people can't tell left from right

>>712425623
No it's not

>>712419058 (OP)
I am bad at art and ok at pixel art and I like both.

>>712421835
This changes nothing, gachas live and die off their art since they're selling pixels, it's everything else that makes gachas suck.

>>712419058 (OP)
they both suck, left is degenerate pixel furry vomit, right is generic ai slop

>>712419058 (OP)
If you have to explain it, you are wrong.
It's like trying to explain why a joke is funny.

>>712421071
This looks awful. This is like that Super Mario with extra frames of animation meme but instead of a Mario walk cycle it's a Game Boy Color Zelda. The grass already looks like shit, like it has maggots wiggling in it, but then that really shit line runs across it to show off the wind. Wind direction sure as fuck better be a gameplay mechanic otherwise that's goddamn awful.

nah I just misread this guy's post >>712421639

You're not being good at art and pixel art. You can't even draw.
Right is great.

>>712428570
Good morning saar

pixel artists:
>that'll be 99.99 plus tip and itll be 6 months
AI
>not enough power install more nuclear plants also it'll look kinda wrong
Smart people
>image resize goes brrrrrrrrrt

>>712419058 (OP)
Not a fair comparison when the right is fucked up with non-integer scaling. But left would still win even in a fair comparison.

>>712419335
/threading yourself is embarassing

>That's how people think games looked like back then in their nostalgia tinted memories
anon are you a seething teenager or something?

Sir?

Where? The whole sprite has 35 colours in it

>>712423923
GameBoy and GBA games are a joke?

Placemats will never look better than shadowboxes, tardo.

tasteful in game pixel art is pure soul

>>712430840
man got no perspective

>>712419335
FPBP, OP is simply wrong.

>>712419058 (OP)
neither of them will be made into a real video game

>>712419951
That's not even from a game you dumb fucking nigger.

for me this art just hits the right spots. the dev also streams himself doing pixel art almost daily, and goddamn, his speed and precicison and "vision" is amazing to watch.

>>712434470
>read rest of the thread and realized right IS from a real game
you win this time, OP

>>712434686
Is that lumpy touch?

>>712428763
Slap a normal map on it and configure ambient lightning to render as pixels or right color and voila, the grill turned into a cool lab equipment.

>>712434551
So?

>>712419058 (OP)
I like both.

>>712438714
Fuck you fence sitter

>>712419058 (OP)
The right is lazy copy paste shit, and why is the innkeeper glowing brighter than those candles?

>>712434721
The left is a real game

>>712419058 (OP)
they are both shit

Let me guess, you also think that Mina the Hollower looks fantastic

>>712448146
It does

>>712419058 (OP)
but I like both of them.

>>712419058 (OP)
left is trying too hard and becomes anti-soul.

>>712419335
