Fan Art Contest: Doctor Blight
Today I found this contest and I decided to try to participate. If you ever read something about me, I always write two things (maybe always is a strong word... let's say that I wrote it in the past more than once):
1 ) I am a really really really bad artist.
2 ) I love Doctor Blight, in my opinion, it is one of the most charismatic and interesting characters in the Chaos Legion Expansion (and probably not only there).
So I decided to create a 16x16 pixel Doctor Blight, just to remind myself how bad I am at these things.
Knowing more or less nothing about Pixel art I found this video and it helped me a bit, at the start...
Feeling smart and clever I decided to first draw the Doc on paper (using the paper's squares as pixels) to have an idea of how to realize it in Photoshop...this is my first drawing:
"Cute", right? Unfortunately even if I zoom in, it is impossible to draw "freely" in a single pixel, so I had to draw it again following the pixel's lines.
And I did this:
Let's be honest, it is horrible, I know it by myself...
But the exchange Crypto(.)com has this motto: "Fortune favors the brave"

So feeling brave after advertising my post and the referral link to the exchange I decided to hold on and try to transform it in pixel art, helping myself with the previous tutorial.
Oh, obviously I forgot that I can't split a pixel in half coloring only a part of it, so I had to modify my drawing again.
Using a Doctor Blight pic from Splinterlands site I selected the colors to use.
And this is the result:
Better than I expected but a bit ugly so I decided to create a gif, can adding movements help my "art"? So I created three different Doctors:

I just moved 13 pixels, you are totally right.
But thanks to these little movements I've been able to create an animated gif using this site.
And that's the result:
A small Doctor Blight who is seeking the truth (or the chaos, depending on the points of view).
I really hope you liked it, to be honest, I snitched some other posts and my skills are not enough to compete with some of the amazing artists here on Splintertalk, but I wanted to try and that was the result.
Best regards,
Mr.Magalli

Hah - I opened your post despite your warning on Discord 😂. Sticking with pixel art for starters is probably a good idea, even though pixel art can be really, really hard. So, just keep on practicing. I actually like the gif even though I had to zoom like 1000 % to be able to see it 🤣
For the zoom, it was requested a 16x16 pixels so it is not my fault 😁
If you add to the difficulty of the pixel art my difficult in every "drawing art" we have a lethal mix, poor Doc 😅
