\u00a0While it might not be apparent from the stutt I review, I am a big fan of pixel art. I am, after all, also a Doom and Strife modder<\/a>, and making custom graphics for those games pretty much means creating pixel art. It seems to me as if there are two main “school” of pixel art nowadays: one one hand, those who adopt the nostalgia angle, and lean more on the simple, blocky nature of the style; on the other, a lot of pixel artist who choose instead to focus on ‘realism’, so to speak, creating images that, while still generated pixel by pixel, could easily pass for non-pixel illustrations.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

“NKR80 vol.2” <\/i>(2019) is an illustration collection by pixel artist Narume<\/a>, whose work for the most part falls into the latter category: their illustrations, usually bishoujo with a modern edge, reveal their pixely nature only upon close inspection, a fact that is well exemplified in this 16 pages, full color, square format collection: almost all images are presented along with a detail close up, which clearly show how Narume created them pixel by pixel. Neon tinges are predominant, leaning into that waporwave-ish aesthetics which seems to be very popular among modern pixel artists. Subjects, as mentioned, don’t vary much, being all essentially pinups.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Upon comparison of the full image and the closeup, one can’t help but marvel at Narume’s artistry. The restrained color palette, and its greatly simplified monochrome backgrounds, really lends a vector-like clarity to each image, which greatly helps preserving definition and cleanliness. It’s overall a very summery collection, basking in aqua tones to complement the abundant helpings of purple and pink neon lights.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

A short but pleasant treat, not much to say except enjoying Narume’s skill with the pixels. They also have a\u00a0pixel manga <\/a>series, if you’re interested, and a store<\/a> full of cute stuff.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
