Pixel Art – Why It’s Awesome

Pixel art is a form of digital art, created through the use of raster graphics software, where images are edited on the pixel level. Graphics in most old (or relatively limited) computer, console, graphing calculator and mobile phone video games are mostly pixel art. (Wikipedia)

I love Pixel art, it is an easy to draw art style that allows you full creative control over what you are creating and as you are literally drawing it pixel by pixel, it doesn’t require much skill; just patience.

For Kobold Quest we wanted something that could be feasibly done by one person and still look attractive and I feel that Pixel art fulfils that. Also the fact that Piskel.com was free to use made it all the more appealing.

Say hello to Kobold Quest’s little hero; The Kobold!

Lord Rainne

The Dark Lord Rainne, sure he doesn’t look like much here but you’ll find out why he’s like this when we release Kobold Quest.

Necromancer

One of the enemies from KQ, the Necromancer! Bloody white backgrounds… he has a skull head so you know.
