Pixel Mirage

Found via Ocean’s Dream’s Tileset Tutorial site, there’s a new pixel art site called Pixel Mirage up now. I’ll include a link in my blogroll. So far the site has four tutorials up: one on line art, one on tools, another on color and one on dithering.

Also, Ocean’s Dream’s Tileset Tutorial has been updated with a guide to updating old-school RPG characters (in this case from Final Fantasy 1) to a more modern, RPG Maker VX style of sprite. My favorite part of this tutorial is the step-by-step look at how to color hair.
