One of the Biggest Pixel Artists Out There - Do You Know Him?

And So, This is How this Post Starts !

Because we, artists, have one thing in common: we have other artists as gods. Even if they are our friends!


Sometimes I feel the need to share the amazing things of other artists with you, guys. I am a little bit shy about this and not entirely sure because I am kinda making some earnings just by showing you this, but to be honest, I want to give to these artists the recognition they deserve. So here we are!

For all those who think that pixel art is not a form of art or that it is something too easy or basic... well, think again!

This guy is an incredible example of good management of resources plus a great sense of creativity when it comes to doing a great art piece.

The way he describes his pieces is just incredible, plus the very reduced amount of resources (using only pixel painting plus 16-30 colors ONLY... which is a big WTF) is just outstanding.

To be honest I think I have never seen anything like this.

Unfortunately I could never find further information than his deviantart and than it's a man from USA.

Yet his artworks inspired me since the beginning of my career.

I want you guys to stop for a moment and understand how great this is and how well this artist mate uses so little resources and achieves so much. This is the Eden of artist (and at the same time the Hell)

To be honest I've never done any pixel art in my life, yet this is something that really tempts me to try it. And even maybe to some of you... which I honestly hope is the case!

But still, this is a great reminder of how something that looks extremely easy and simple to do, can turn out so well and look and feel so complex and amazing.

This is also a perfect example of why it is so important to keep things simple, because if you do well and use your resources in the right way, it doesn't matter how simple they are. They will look amazing and they will have, hopefully, a great narrative.

I hope you enjoyed the art of Foolstown!

I always try to listen to the ideas of my fellow followers to improve my posts and to give something back to the community... therefor: What would you like the next posts to be about? What should I talk about? What kind of painting? Would you like some tutorials about arts, about cooking? Maybe some fresh gaming broadcast? I would love to know!

I apologize if I don't reply to your message. Sometimes I can't find enough time for it. But you can be sure that I will read it!

Bye!

OMFG! What a powerful statement: Because we, artists, have one thing in common: we have other artists as gods. Even if they are our friends!

Personally, as a self-discovery artist, I am in total awe of traditional artist, especially modern artists with all the distractions but finding nuggets of creativity within distractions that can also be inspirational, and most times surpassing what has been created before now.

I sincerely love creators of all realms.

The artist is creative. His works are lovely.

good job

This is amazing, you've helped in bringing us to the realization that what alot of us regard as just ordinary art, is much more extra ordinary if seen from a special and different angle. Art is truly Life.
Thanks for this wonderful piece @anritco

Thank, good information

creative job @anritco, thank you for sharing.

I absolutely love pixel art as it supplied my childhood with many hours of entertainment in the retro gaming systems. This Fool is really good I shall have to follow him on DeviantArt! Thanks for sharing!

That is some sweet art

His name is Yuriy Gusev! He's in his early 50s, and has a sad story: his daughter passed away 8 years ago, and she was only 18 years old. It's amazing that someone can make such intricate and beautiful pixel artworks like these, I know how hard it is! I tried once and could barely make a character sprite...

It's interesting that you first mentioned how you're unsure about sharing this because you're earning money from it. On "art Twitter" there's been a huge issue circulating around one instagrammer who thinks of themself as a curator, posting other people's art - with credit most of the time. The problem is that in every comment they would have their PayPal donation link and say something like, "link to donate if you want to support me" - kind of insinuating that they did the art. Anyway, Twitter blew up and people harassed this person until they took the donation link down. Their account is still active and they're still sharing art, just without a personal donate link.

I'm not sure that what you're doing is bad, because Steemit is more like a blog and people aren't directly giving you money for the art that you post. They're simply upvoting because they like what the post is about, and it happens to have money attached. So I think you can share in this way artists that you admire, as long as it's not the majority of your posts.

The unique work of course has a big nalai and contains historical value. Must have liked a lot. .
