Turning Gummies into Pixel Art Characters

[@RAI-diate]

"Found their way into my life" If I heard this outta context I never would've guessed he was talking about a bag of gummies.

[@blu3est143]

I KNOW RIGHT

[@juhis-dev]

Absolutely loved the way you built those name fonts! It's incredible how expressive and thematic they are given their small pixel amount.

[@BJGpixel]

Thank you! I'm a huge admirer of logo design, and I feel like having the names and logos really helps complete the character idea :D

[@hongkongdad928]

Yeah it’s crazy how detailed you can be with so small a space, big props to early 8 and 16 bit game makers there

[@olivierthedumbasslollmao]

*made

[@ziad616]

“Shel: the last egg bender.” All jokes aside, great video! I really loved the idea of turning candy into fighting game characters.

[@flophawk]

dont you mean all yolks aside

[@sheridan5175]

Gummy. Gummy. Gummy. Gummy. Long ago, the four nations

[@hopesndreams5033]

then everything changed when the gummy nation attacked

[@astrowyrm6871]

you should do more of these kinds of videos, where you take irl objects to create a charcater in a certain style. this was a really great video!

[@BJGpixel]

Thanks so much! I think I'll have to do that! :D

[@tbp_entertainment]

As a man addicted to gummi candy and a connoisseur of pixel art, I can safely say that this has become one of my favourite videos on this platform.

[@absurdshroom]

The naming scheme is genius! Not only did you make some very stylized sprites, but also you created characters that would fit a fighting game. This goes to show just how many things can become characters in their own right. Very masterfully done.

[@TylerMalad]

Dude, it's your attention to detail that gets me every time.. Extra pixels on Fizz's hair, his belt, Shel's insignia, extra highlight pixels on Cora's face, etc.. My favorite in this cast has to be either Jemm or Fizz

[@BJGpixel]

Ah thanks so much dude! :D I love looking for those small things that give it an extra boost

[@mixandjam]

Great video!!!

Hey Brandon, I’d like to say a massive thanks for your recent videos, I’ve been trying to get into pixel art and you work offers massive inspiration! Love from France 🇫🇷

[@BJGpixel]

Merci! Thanks for watching and best of luck with your pixel art journey :D

[@msx80]

Wow, the amount of cuteness and creativity in those sprites can hardly be described. Every single one is perfect down to the font and name choice. And those single pixel details like the belt loop are truly mind blowing.

[@flubohooligan]

Did anyone mention that “gom” is Korean for “bear” (곰), and “gomi” would be a totally natural way in Korean to turn it into a name (maybe like “Beary”)?

[@timothymclean]

Somehow, that comment made me think of Teddie from Persona 4, which made me imagine Gomi spouting off as many terrible bear puns as he does, and I can't decide if that ruins or improves him.

[@oscarjimenez88]

Dude the creativity here is just insane. I agree with a lot of the commenters here; those texts are phenomenal. The way they bring in little elements of the character. My favorite is Cora's pulse detail in the lettering with the tiny heart. Insanely good work. Your videos have reinvigorated my passion for this art style. Looking forward to watching literally everything else you've put out. Thanks and keep up the amazing work! You are a treasure dude.

[@GreenStarGalaxian]

I can see it now. "Haribrawl; Superstar Mix!"

[@michaelmann7816]

"Essentially a gummy version of the Incredible Hulk" Today on "things I never thought I'd hear"...

[@GippyHappy]

One of my favorite things about your pixel art is watching you make it as simple as humanely possible, in color and size, while still keeping it dynamic and readable. I love simplicity in my own drawings, but you make me seem like a maximalist at times haha

[@OskarDoesStuff]

1:04 Millennium* The double N always catches me out too, don't sweat it! :)

[@mr.nicolson2908]

So great. Would absolutely play this game.

[@gummygecko23]

I like the characters you made, and how they all have only four letters in their name

[@hajicko]

Really well done feels like it was from a professional game.

[@Kyubeyisbestboy]

when the gummies in cookie run got tired of the cookies eating them

[@unoriginalusername4416]

The bear reminds me of the old Flash game Burrito Bison, where a wrestler gets sucked into the packaging of a bag of gummy bears and has to bounce and smash his way out.

[@saturnday160]

The way you made the names is really fun.

[@belmu_]

Your videos are always very clean. You explain very well and it is, in a certain way, educative to hear you talk. Love it!

[@UnknownImages]

I can already see this being a pocket sized fighting game irl. Call it "Food Fight" or something. Loved these designs, I think Fizz and Shel were my favorite.

[@timothymclean]

I was thinking that most of the cast has a food theme. (Cora and Jemm need something else to make them fit the guys, though. Shouldn't be hard for Cora, but the only ring food I can think of is ring pops, and that's too specific.)

[@gavingrawrock9589]

Ring pop brass knuckles

[@ThePixelExpedition]

This one was incredible to watch. I'm envious of your imagination! Lol Amazing work transforming candy into these great sprites. And the fonts! Absolutely love what you did with those character names!

[@brandonkemenymusic]

This is an inspired idea for a video and character design. I adored this!

[@andiyoyi6953]

GUMMY BEARS ATTACK!!! Happy Halloween, Brandon!

[@Nahoc]

Bro, don't stop uploading. We really enjoy your content!!

[@ComicAuzi]

Haribo fighters is my favorite game! Fizz is my main

[@kenrade69]

More great fresh content, Happy Halloween and please keep making these!!!!!!

[@Footlong_plays]

I can totally see this cast in a full game! Amazing work!

[@brandonjacksoon]

So professional! Thank you Brandon! Really cool video! I want more :D

[@BJGpixel]

Thanks Brandon! 😁

[@just_colon7727]

I don't think I have ever heard the words "edgy" and "1980's aerobics instructor" in the same sentence before :) . Anyway, great job on the video!

[@CaveBacon222]

That bear is GUMMY THICC

[@tuxedodelta]

Captured the style brilliantly! I’m a huge fan of these more soft relaxing videos, especially when I’m a pixeler myself! New sub of course.

[@timothymclean]

5:15: You could say that he keeps his sunny side up! 7:15: I guess that's a more thorough answer than "That would be boring". 9:15: Others have said it, but that's a great line.

[@-LTUIiiin]

i get so much out of these videos brandon! i dont really do pixel art all that much, but the way your thought process is, the way you pull inspiration from all these places and then actually skillfully execute them while walking us through it is so... beautiful? i dont quite know how to express that lol. I might even try out some more pixel art now. thank you

[@PeckerComics]

Beautiful and awesome as always. Love this channel so much

[@shoespeak]

these videos are awesome. so cool to see your process and really appreciate you talking through your decisions

[@rcotton3137]

Is pretty soothing hearing your voice while watching you draw

[@alexpfeifle879]

This was so creative! I was anticipating everyone just being the object the gummy was, but this was way better

[@notoriusc]

I would love to see animations of these characters!

[@kinoko6096]

I love them all so much!! I’d absolutely play a fighting game with these guys in them.

[@AlekCzarnodziej]

They actually look so good it's totally awesome! I really dig the fact that each character's name is written in different way. It really adds a lot!

[@WaylonFlinn]

I really appreciate the care and attention to detail you put into every one of these videos.

[@BHDBdingo]

Really awesome video idea and super well done as always :)

[@mrGonakaTV]

love your videos dude, you got me pushing pixels again! happy halloween!

[@roshandeselfa5820]

Really cool! Especially the font creation!

[@TetsuDeinonychus]

Wow! Now you just need to come up with a move-set and stage for each of them and you'd have the design to a nice 8-bit style fighting game right here.

[@BJGpixel]

Haha yeah true! Now that you mention it, I really would like to explore some backdrops for this world :D

[@tentakrool7032]

The Candied Crew is their name

[@SigilWizardClassic]

Gomi has to be my favorite and Shel is a runner up for sure. They're both great. I just love the gelatinous feel to Gomi and Shel's egg-like appearance just makes the theme of the character all that much better. lol

[@ikatulo_yt]

I literally met someone named cora (short for corazon) a few days ago

[@ayasamir4515]

I like every video before I even begin watching cause I know I'm in for a good and educating time. Keep going man you're becoming my favorite KZbinr :D

[@hiozero]

Such a great idea for a video!

[@TheeKingRayzor]

This is awesome, I'm inspired.

[@KaradicalMarkus]

even tho i am from russia and i never celebrated halloween, i still made a costume) and its a gummy bear

[@nuclear-meltdown]

I really love this! The lettering of CORA is wonderful

[@BJGpixel]

Thank you! I appreciate that, her lettering was the toughest one to make!

[@awizard72]

love how often you’ve been updating! favorite channel on youtube, honestly.

[@Ruxinator]

Fantastic video. I am in love with all of these designs

[@ScottThoo]

Really appreciate every video you made. Love your style. Each of the intros makes me feel excited. :D Would really want to see them come alive like fighting animation such as idle and combo punches! Looking forward to videos that how you approach animations!

[@ultleo839]

You went really sentimental there considering it was just a pack of gummies

[@dustintouchton7479]

This has been my favorite so far. Great job and thanks for the inspiration

[@matthewsanford8981]

Your creativity is astounding.

[@smolse6854]

Wow! That was very creative! Congratulations! Also the style and the way you use it are very good!

[@firebroxp9784]

I love how mega man was displaying all the gummies great video

video idea: (idk if you have been requested or have done this before as i have horrible memory) *Try to make non pixel digital art* Anyway hope you have a great day! Love your work and videos keep up the amazing work

[@johnangelotenorio]

If I remember, that's also the color limitation of the GBA - Only 4 colors per sprite, one is transparent so that's 3 actual colors per sprite.

[@sokool3994]

Nah, the GBA is actually capable of more than that.

[@nekokna]

too cute!! i love this!

Awesome, clean, organised content. I appreciate and respect that a lot :)

[@testertree4545]

You’re so Creative I love all the random idea

[@tomwiscombe1028]

Hey man, great videos. I like your presentation and how you show just enough of your process in the timelapses. I've been watching you for a little while now, I'm learning pixel art for game dev purposes. I always had a feeling you were Canadian, and then in one video you spelled colour with a 'u' which hinted even more. Now that you said you paid CDN for the candy, I'm convinced. Subbed from a fellow Canuck! (If I'm correct lol)

[@Rappenem]

Awesome video! Loving the amount of content lately :)

[@TheSpriteStory]

This is so cool

[@shroomycreates6086]

These designs are AMAZING!

[@JeremieLaliberte]

This is amazing ! I’ll try a similar challenge, don’t know with what, but I love what you did here. Shel’s indeed the best one ;) Maybe swapping the blue and orange colors would do even better? (I know you explained it, but still). Very inspiring stuff !

[@clonkex]

oh man I didn't realise how much I want a packet of starmix until you dropped one in front of me, the craving is too stronk :O

[@harvaldi]

How much cuteness could you incorporate to female pixelart character?

[@abzer0gaming]

Pretty cool. Now you need to make a scene with two of the characters facing off and use that for CRT Time. Maybe Fizz vs Cora at Fizz's diner stage.

[@Zelkie_aep]

I love ur vids!! I just started pixel art and I’m trying to get better. Also what are your tips for improving other than practicing?

[@rhyss5618]

practicing

[@jpslr-86]

The quality of your videos is amazing, how long does it take you to edit all this? So many details, and things that really help get your point across. Thank you for sharing! Really...

[@theunknown1545]

Good work, btw, is there any way I can send you my pixel art work inspired by some of your videos?

[@inkeymiraculous973]

You should totally team up with another youtube to make fizz a mod for the game, although I know I will me making fan art for if he was in rivals of aether

[@KurenaiHideyoshi]

I just thought of a random title for this concept: [ Pocket Gummi Fighters: Hunger for Battle! ]

[@seth_piano]

I agree - great idea! :)

[@finelineguy8733]

Yes
