"[...] celebrate the holidays... but in kind of a dark way... well, also like, hopefully, kinda wholesome as well." Well I guess it worked perfectly, there's something about this piece that is quite heartwarming in a way to me. Feels really fitting for this year as a whole, haha~ Happy holidays for you too, Brandon!

Hey Brandon your Video "Recreating a Photo as Pixel Art" reminded me of World of Horror the game. I love the art work in that game, and since its a high resolution pixel art, it might be cool to make analysis video of that. Just a idea. :) Love your stuff and im not lying when i say that you are the one who always brings me back to drawing pixel art since 6 months now. I improved a lot thanks to your tutorials and ideas. Thank you :)

Have you thought about doing weekly art jams? Set a challenge or a theme then give your followers 6 days to submit something, then spend one day were people can rate other people's pixel art, and you get to pick your favourite. I like drawing pixel art but lack direction, a games jam style competition could be really motivating.

I know you already said that making games is not exactly in your current goals, but I'm sure your art has great potential within the game industry! I beg you to consider making game assets and making them available online. You can either sell them or license them with a creative commons type of license. You could get inspired by how Kenney works. He's a great reference in this regard. Please do this!!
