Description Image had been stuck in my head for a few days.
'A person looking out to an open space, where something is emotionally striking her'
While originally I kept thinking about a girl staring to an open sea, once I started drawing,
some kind of lonely, exciting fear came out, rather then a lonely, longing, thinking person staring at a blank sea.

Oh, OHAYO~ I'm here in behalf of and I'll be commenting and reviewing ur work.


Ah, 8-bit. Nostalgic and a cult classic, never gets old to seeing those cute square pixels animate around the screen

I like how everything is simple to the max. But even the simple pixel art had such detail.

Take the trees for example. It's not always one color or two with shadows. U even nailed the specific color for each of the leaves of the trees and each of every bit of grass below. The girl's silhouette isn't 100% pitch black, which means that is a sign of an expert artist! I can barely see highlights coming from her hair. Good work!

The sky is sparking vibrant! Even with pixelated gradient it's spot on!

But the downside... where is the light coming from? It's not from the UFO. If it was, there the UFO should have at least a beam of light emitting below the hull. Also the small green lights look crooked.But the UFO looks trendy by how it is well-colored. (NOT A HAT, obviously.)


Bottom line, that's a great pixel artwork! Fantastic as always. U have a heart of being an expert pixel artist! Keep it up, may ambition persist!

Hello. I'm from over at and I wanted to comment on your work.


I really like how simple this picture is. It tells a simple story. And I'll be honest. I have a soft spot for pixel art. 8-bit and pixel art are amazing. Overall it gives off a mysterious vibe and again, tells a simple story.


The first thing that caught my eye was the UFO itself. Despite being very simple, you have the lighting and shading almost down to a science. It is Super easy to tell the shape of the UFO, but that’s where you start to see problems. There is lighting coming off the UFO even though it’s the middle of the night. If you wanted to do that, maybe have light coming out of the bottom of the UFO and have the lighting effects on the UFO come from that. Plus it could make the silhouette of the girl contrast more.


Now, onto the girl. I really like the silhouette. You can easily tell what she’s doing. However, the only issue with her is the leaning leg. It’s just a tad bit smaller than the other leg, but an easy fix.


But that’s all I have to say. You keep up the awesome work. You really have a talent for pixel art.

Hey. I'm from ProjectComment Β 

I like the shading and the mood. It creates a haunting atmosphere and a sense of wonder. I also like the little poem you wrote in the description. Very mysterious. But the left leg on the person feels off. I think it's because of the size and angle?

I'm not really good at constructive criticism, so pls don't hate on me if you don't like my comment.

The left leg does feel a little too thin doesn't it ? I had some trouble with it. making it thicker owuld have made it look like the body went down too low, or it would look like she had a very wide pants on. so i went with the thinner solution, so i could give it a correct angle.

Thanks for the feedback, its very good constructive criticism !
