1980s style high resolution pixel art created on a 1980s computer

In the run up to launching ‪@SakiEndosRubbishHeap‬ in June, I am working on a lot of artwork assets for the channel. This will be a channel focusing on reviewing Japanese language games, mostly retro but some modern as well.

The channel will be hosted my original characters from my manga ‪@future_saviors‬ as avatars in pixel art from so I need to create plenty of poses for them.

Instead of using Aseprite for the whole process, I decided to go back to my roots and stick with my first pixel art love, Deluxe Paint on the Amiga computer.

In this video I refine a pencil sketch I created of my characters Kaito, Saki and Hisao and created a 1980s style title card for the new channel using a computer that was originally launched in 1985.
