More than 1000 of you have started following me this month, which is almost a 5th. Introduction time!

Hi everyone! 🙋‍♀️
I'm Ellen & I do authentic NES graphics & NES game dev. I sometimes do it on my own, sometimes with others.

Feel free to ask me anything.

New scene for "Borscht". Single screen.
Genuine NES graphics.

Every pixel artist is doing it, and i'm not one to skip out on a fun fad.

Some of my stuff through that upscaler everyone's tweeting about. Guess i can't add my usual catchphrase "Genuine NES graphics" anymore, huh.

I call this memepiece "the pixel artists' plight"

@HEYYYDON 1: I often begin with a few basic single color tiles to lay out a rough composition of the scene. Then chisel it out, taking turns between creating a new tile and seeing if one i've already made fits.
Tile based GFX editing is as much or more mosaics and carving as it is drawing

@f5kn 2: A much more stable, but artistically more limited method, is to just set the R + G emphasis bits. This creates a sunrise/sunset shift of the whole palette towards tan and yellow.

Emulators generally get this wrong, though. So beware!

@0000jordan 3: references are good. While i watched the german tv series "dark", about teens in a small town around a neuclear power plant, they did this scene establishment to say that it was getting late, and i just thought the colours were lovely. that inspired the choices for this scene:

@ThKasparrr (1/2) It really depends on the tool. With NESST or NEXXT, palette management is easy and i can design and experiment as i go. I can switch between sets easily and see the result directly without destructing anything.

Sometimes i draw a rough sketch to try it out

5000+ followers! When i started making authentic NES graphics & games, i never imagined there'd be an audience like this. Thank you 🌷

It's been at least 1000 new followers since i last properly introduced myself, so here's an intro.
