Hana x Nano Crossover! | Pixel Art Timelapse

[@saultoons]

That balloon animation reveal was great. Such a nice little detail that adds so much character. Putting in that little extra work, like the lighting change on the surfaces, really brings it together. Sometimes I struggle with that because it seems so finished already. Awesome work Brandon!!!

[@monkcode1255]

Can you guys do a collab?

[@BJGpixel]

Thanks dude! I totally get what you mean, sometimes it feels like you could get trapped in an endless loop (not unlike Nano) by pursuing ideas for additions to the artwork 😅 I try to at least dip a toe into a few of them and often it feels worth it!

[@RoderikEshu]

"Avengers is the most ambitious crossover." BJG: Hold my pixel! Wholesome video! Also I just want to say that I love your work; it clearly shows your passion and talent. This is, by far, my favourite Pixel Art YT channel. Thanks for sharing and inspiring us. Finally, today's trivia: Pixel comes as a contraction of PICTure ELement. It is the digital counterpart of the concept of Point in drawing as the minimum graphic unit provided with a shape and color. Have a great week!

[@BJGpixel]

Thanks so much! Nice tidbit about 'pixel' too - had actually never hear that before! :D

[@pinkajou656]

Thanks Brandon!

[@CKTDanny]

Really feeling Nano's energy with the constant acquisition of new balloons there 😁✨ It's like how you have the crowd that carefully looks over all the instructions before trying a new gadget, and then you have the crowd that just hits all the buttons and figures it out on their own hahaha I was wondering myself how you'd do it but I thought it was really neat how you lead/tailed that animation with the materializing/glow of the amulet. That was a great way to show where the source of the power was coming from! ⚡

[@BJGpixel]

Hahaha exactly, it's the approach where the solution is just _moar balloons!_ 😅 Thanks for noticing the detail with the amulet persisting, it's only a few pixels but makes it feel like an item that's in use 😁

[@mattthebanana]

I’ve been here since the beginning, Brandon and it’s amazing to see how far you’ve come.

[@brianalford7023]

I composed a little theme tune for Hana after I saw her mock up video, can't get enough of his OCs

[@KurenaiHideyoshi]

Hana: “ Nano, you can’t just keep warping between dimensions! ” Nano: “ Hehehe! Gem go *BOOSH!* ”

[@sssunnyd7874]

Boosh

[@theDwightness]

One of my favorite things about your videos is that you almost always save some sort of surprise or extra spark for the end reveal! It really shows how much thought you put into these pieces :)

[@dmosier83]

Love your stuff Brandon! I saw you like to use PS for animation (as do I) and I love using animdessin 2. It's a free plug-in for PS and makes animating on separate layers for different timing much easier. Plus the GUI is nice and simple. Definitely not getting paid to say that, lol. I just really like it and thought you would enjoy it too from one artist to another. Thanks for being so consistent on putting out great pixel art too!

[@impurity77]

Not gunna lie, when I wake up and see a phone notification for your new video, it instantly makes my day better. Thank you for all you do! :)

[@mooncatdog7527]

Hana is my favorite character you've made, and this has really made my day. Keep making great videos!

[@bendoge3607]

ayo congrats on 6 years of pixel art you inspired me to start making pixel art and i have been having such a blast drawing it

[@lonestarr1490]

The lighting accounting for the animation is bonkers! Superb eye for detail on your part.

[@trivedi.arindam]

It is really nice to watch you work. You are my greatest inspiration for pixel art.

[@theshiftybloke4672]

Grats on your 6 years

[@angrypotato_fz]

Awesome result! Your attention to details - like flashing on the furniture - is admirable. The teleportation effect with moving particles turned out very convincing - and fun :)

[@smolse6854]

I remember when you commented about making this crossover, and it happened! Happy pixel art birthday!

[@nitrohite]

I would honestly pay a monthly subscription for wallpapers of your amazing art 😍❤️

[@KreeTerry]

I have so much respect for your use of color! I’m still relatively new to pixel art and its been something ive struggled with so much. I’m red green colorblind so that doesn’t help but im slowing finding little tricks and techniques that help me level up. Keep these awesome videos coming and ill keep learning all i can from them 🙏

[@ColinTedford]

Belated congrats on 6 years, and thanks for sharing with us!

[@EriksGarbage]

Love the recall to the original gameboy limitation video, and one of Nano's previous locations, with the balloons!

[@toffeehazel]

Happy 6 year pixel art anniversaries and many more to come! :D!!

[@psychogaze]

The warping animation came out great considering you improv'd it!

[@ulrickai]

Always a great video when Grim Girl Hana in invovled =D Amazing work as always and congrats on the 6 years! Here's to many more~

[@XZaneLP]

Wait, you didn't hide any cats in the scene? :D How about a pixel scene of a Star Trek like Bridge? How to combine pixel art with Star Trek? How to keep the semi-3D-perspective, if you look from the point of the large bridge screen into the bridge...?

[@ColinTedford]

I think are were 1 or more Star Trek computer games that are old enough to have been made with pixel art.

[@XZaneLP]

@@ColinTedford Certainly and those are made on exactly the level of quality that you expect ST games... low. He would do it a lot better, undeniable. ^^

this iteration of hana really reminds me of stella from spiritfarer! something about the flowers, the silent but very cute emotions, and the kinda obvious spirit connection maybe?? (although maybe i've just been playing too much of that game recently haha)

[@jualuigigamer7865]

I love this crossover, next could be Nanl, Hana, and Detective Boy

[@yourlocalpoobrain3899]

Best video as always

[@deliveryguy9285]

didnt know i was early also love your pixel art

[@robertpoole9707]

This made me think, have you tried making something with two noticeably different resolutions of pixel art in the same piece? As in, sizing up the lower res part and adding a higher res bunch of details/characters/settings/etc, or however you'd do it. I'm not sure if it's an actual good idea or of it just sounds cool...

people told me that endgame was the most ambitious crossover...

[@Techy404]

Endgame is technically not a crossover since all of the characters are in the same universe

[@Old_Man_Miku]

@@Techy404 r/woooosh

[@Techy404]

@@Old_Man_Miku ...ok then? I was just saying that Endgame isn't really a crossover because of how each character is in the same universe, and yes i got the joke

[@Old_Man_Miku]

@@Techy404 if you get the joke, explain it to me then.

[@Techy404]

@@Old_Man_Miku the joke here is that most people call Endgame the most ambitious crossover in history, but we can see in the video a very unusual crossover with Nano and Hana, thus making the video an even more ambitious crossover in your opinion

[@JustToSaveYou]

Jace crash lands while they're together and reveals the mecha-cat is free again. LOL

[@everfluctuating]

this is so cute

[@TheGlenofKrokot]

Thank you, your videos keep inspiring and educating me. :) I hope that some day i will be as good of a pixel artist as you

[@nicollasalmeida4936]

I'm not at home, but I really want to see this

[@mayoeatsmilk]

Amazing as usual

[@vaibhav8731]

would you mind making a video, or adding a short chapter in these videos right before you reveal the whole animation, about how you make the sound for it? that would be so good and will help me in my animations as well, please. Thank you. Love your work

[@Techy404]

Great work dude, i'm also learning how to make pixel art from you

[@MasT0]

I remember you since your first video I even used the same colour out line you used to use i like your art:)

[@georgeboutwell6841]

Brandon have you ever considered making a rivals workshop character? Hana is an awesome character and I think would be welcome addition haha

[@InerciaVirtual]

Love you video. Keep it up

[@mrregularword4329]

Could you make an art set for pico 8 limitations as a challenge?

[@roboat6755]

If you're doing other crossovers the gummy sweet fighters and Jace would be cool!! Like a guest or a secret fighter

Wonder how many times Brandon take a step backward, to see something new or something to improve upon.

awesome! :D

How did you do that timelaps at the end in FINAL ART

You should compile all the CRT times into one video for people to just put on and chill

[@TheBosh]

Very annoying thing you won't be able to see, keep reading at your own risk: In the finished artwork, one of Hana's hands use a different colour for the outline, which as far as I know doesn't get used anywhere else.
