Pedrouo | Flitters & Trinkets

Hi, I'm Pedro! I'm creating ✨Flitters & Trinkets🧵, a cozy game about a world born from the subtle memory of a distant childhood, stitched from scraps and forgotten things. You'll explore, build your life, and meet charming characters! You're welcome to follow ^^ ✨

I really liked how this Minecraft spider turned out. Do you have any ideas for other Minecraft creatures I could make? #blockbench #Minecraft #Pixelart

hi :D #hi

@SigilsVault Thank you!! I'm creating a game with my girlfriend, so I'll have several posts coming soon ^^

@pedrouopixel Thanks for the advice I am looking forward to seeing more of your work 😃

Just a study of hand-painted texture in low poly ^^ Did you know that my name, "Pedro," means stone??😮 #lowpoly #gamedev

@wespenwald It actually comes from the Greek "Pétros", derived from the word "Petra." Only later does it appear as Petrus in the Portuguese language, coming from the Latin version

@pedrouopixel Yeah, from Petrus, the Stone

I understand, I had the same problem😅 But don't worry, it's actually easier than it seems! I don't use Substance, I modeled and painted everything entirely in Blender. I use the Paint System addon, but you can also use Ucupaint if you prefer; both help you create textures with layers and make various other areas of painting easier. Also, don't forget to edit in other external software; I always use Krita. And never underestimate UVs! Another tip I can give you is to use the Texel Density Checker addon; it's important for maintaining a balanced pixel density per meter between different models in the same scene, or for a game, of course

@pedrouopixel Looks awesome, I have been wanting to get into hand painted textures, but it is so daunting 😭, is this in substance painter?

Based on my personal experience, I'd say the first step is to learn general digital illustration. It's easier to understand how to apply 2D art to 3D if you already have this basic foundation. Only after you feel confident with 2D (you don't need to be an expert, just know the basics) should you start learning texturing, or you might end up frustrated because you'll have to learn two really complex things at the same time. Always keep in mind what kind of final piece you want. Do you intend to have all the shadows drawn? Or do you want some shadows in post-processing? Each scenario requires a different texturing approach. The main characteristic of this style is that most of the details are pure texture, so never overdo the details in the modeling that you could replace with 2D art in the texture. And don't be afraid to study other artists' work to learn! I recommend the videos from the Craft Reaper channel; they're very good and helped me a lot ^^

@pedrouopixel How do you learn hand painted texturing?

@Irrev_Giles Wow! That's definitely a beautiful Yoda specimen!!

@pedrouopixel check out my yoda

@illumisanicgltf 💪

@pedrouopixel I thought it was a guy flexing his arm

@EnoughOfAllThat Just wait and you'll see 👁👁

@pedrouopixel Would love to see more like this

I usually choose my color palettes quite intuitively, based on what looks good to my eyes. But I always follow some rules: bluish shadows and yellowish highlights, with a little editing of saturation and hue as I feel is necessary. I use the Paint System addon, which helps me create layers in Blender. It also speeds up the editing process in external software, so I make filter changes to achieve the result I want in Krita, then update the texture in Blender and continue editing

@pedrouopixel I love these color palettes!! Do you have a particular technique for achieving this result?

@MoepMop Absolutely! It's really fun and challenging, and it looks very stylish, I must confess :p

@pedrouopixel I love the aesthetic of hand painted textures. I should give it a try sometime. 🤗

@AadzeNomad I didn't really pay much attention to the time while I was drawing😄but it probably took me about 3/4 hours

@pedrouopixel Looks pretty good! How long did you take to make this?

You'll see!! This sword is part of my current project, I'll post more about it in the next few days (I'm going to shelve the other project I was working on). Let's just say I'm finally putting into practice a universe I've been working on for over 4 years. I hope you'll follow along and get to play the final project!

@pedrouopixel This looks amazing! I'd love to see this in a game.

I'm creating this hand-painted textured sword model for my next project, what do you think? #lowpoly #gamedev

@pedrouopixel Pretty good sword

This is Dante Alighieri, author of the Divine Comedy. I LOVE this book and had to pay homage to him, unfortunately I haven't had time to finish it yet haha #pixelart #gamedev
