Hello, Tumblr! First ever post on here. To commemorate this occasion, here’s my recreation of Mother Earth from the cult-classic RPG, Mother (or most commonly known to international audiences, EarthBound). This was supposed to be released on New Year’s Day, but it got delayed due to me being the lazy bum that I am. This isn’t really a cover so to speak since this is based on VinylCheese’s FDS cover of Mother Earth, all I did was copied it but excluded the FDS part of the cover. I know, it’s not really creative; copying someone else’s cover of a song and calling it your own by changing a thing or two about it, but cut me some slack, okay? I’m relatively an amateur when it comes to Famitracker and I’m honestly satisfied with it sounds. This will be the ONLY cover like this; all my future music covers (yes, future music covers, this is only the start) will be composed by me.
Anyways, I’ll end this post here. I have a lot more covers in the works and I’m hoping to getting them done soon. Hope you stick with me on my beginning!
I am having profound difficulty focusing for more than like thirty seconds today
Even if I’m not particularly happy with how this turned out, I can’t say that I started with a very happy premise, either...considering that I’ve mostly been in the mood to do venty typography. Also, trying to go out of my typographical comfort zone by 1) explicitly working with RGB colors, 2) trying to fiddle with glowing shit after years of not bothering, and 3) trying to use a screwball 8-bit font...probably didn’t help.
Regardless, I tried. I figure I should show stuff I don’t do too well with, too.
I’m also kind of mad at myself for forgetting to save the stupid .psd for this particular iteration, so if I want to make it look like this again, I’ll have to start from scratch.
i love this!!!!

I love your art so much!! It's inspiring me to get back into pixel art (I gave up quickly). A huge problem I had was I didn't know what size was best to set my canvas for specific projects. I always ended up overestimating and making it too big and then it looked less like pixel art and more like grainy digital art. Do you have a rough guide you stick to for landscapes/bedrooms/cities VS. things like animals and characters?
aw thank you i'm happy to hear that! i hope u stick with it ♥
with landscapes/bedrooms/cities i use 275x155. this provides a fair amount of detail while still keeping it pixely, plus it resizes to wallpaper size. for vertical i just reverse it at 155x275.
i've also recently started to use 215x215 (same amount of pixels as above) so that i can resize my art to easily fit both wallpapers, and mobile videos... since tiktok and instagram reels are everything nowadays 😒
for characters and animals, generally i will base the size of the canvas around how i stylize eyes.
so i'll draw the eyes first, then just draw everything else around that.
i also have a smaller resolution style with 2px dot eyes that i use for adding characters to landscapes, since my landscape resolution is too small for my regular style unless the character is close to the screen.
hope this helps!
