It's so adorable! The washed out ''lagging'' effect is such a gorgeous touch, it genuinely reminds me of my old tamagotchi from back in the day. :D

[@ebitachy]

ahh!! this virtual pet concept (case and character) is so cute, the scroll wheel somewhat gives the feeling like there's more options beyond the first four to scroll through, and ideally having it would free up the other button's functions to do more in each minigame, so i can imagine this being pretty fun without getting repetitive irl. it might be pretty hefty compared to a classic tamagotchi lol. the animation really makes this one though!

[@diddly_dude]

Crazy that thos handheld is a major mechanic of your new game, i recognised it instantly!

[@TinisaPlus]

I just saw your new video anouncement and came back to this video, because I really loved what you did here. I am so happy this is actually part of a much bigger proyect, and I can't wait to play your video game once it comes out. It is looking great so far, amazing work!

[@wriqhts]

glad im not the only one who came back! crazy to know this was right under our noses this entire time..

[@droidge]

Your videos always have this nice polish of quality with them whether it be pixel art or 3d modeling thanks for the uploads man :D!

[@NSeaBear]

that mid tone lag effect is so freaking cool!!

[@pallukun]

the lagging animation is so good, it definitely sells the old lcd effect

[@bluesnakeOVER9000]

I loved how sketchy you went when colouring the initial pixel layout, I kinda would love to see a piece with that style. All the colours bleeding over the linework.

[@Boooo]

Oh my god, the lagging effect is perfect

[@kinoko6096]

I love this lil guy sooo much omg, the colors and aesthetic here is so good

[@ArtOfEdge]

This was so fun to watch! It’s always so fascinating to see how you solve varying problems and tie it all into these beautiful end results - this had me so nostalgic for my childhood tamagotchi pet haha! Seeing it on the crt monitor is really the icing in the cake too. Thanks so much for sharing your processes with us, your channel is such a treasure :D Btw, @2:14 you mention there being no cylinder to use yet; in the tool property panel, if you expand the sub-divisions submenu (it’s on your screen at this timestamp, second line from the bottom) and crank the X value to max, you can convert the prism and pyramid primitives, to a cylinder and cone shape respectively. Similarly, you can also use the sub-divisions menu on the sphere to convert it to a more low-poly, blocky sphere, or on the cube and plane objects to customise the number of grid lines when the wireframe is visible. I hope that’s helpful!

[@BJGpixel]

Ah thanks, yeah I especially enjoyed seeing the CRT for this as well for that extra nostalgia ✨ Oh wow I had no idea about the subdivision trick, thank you so much! That makes sense as to why those rounded forms don't need to be default shapes!

[@ArtOfEdge]

@@BJGpixel I’m really glad it was helpful! :D Clip Studio has so many hidden features and tricks, it’s amazing to me how much I keep discovering about it haha - thanks again for such a great channel!

[@sorchatheraven]

No joke, I was just checking the new Tamagotchi Smart on Google when this video popped up in my recommended xD Great job!

[@Darumainu]

Very cute! I just wanna say that even though your videos aren't necessarily tutorials, I feel like the way it's presented is very helpful and there's a lot to learn from your process. You package it all up very nicely and I really appreciate it. Nice work.

[@Dan_d00d]

Hello There!! Excellent as usual. I was thinking all along.. so the 3D initial design is just a massive flex.. until the ending made it all clear - as to be expected. The lag LCD frame effect is an awesome detail and the background is 1000% 90s that is SO on point. PS - may 27 for Kenobi.. we need something special, you know it - You are strong and wise, Brandon, and I am very proud of you

[@BJGpixel]

Haha thanks so much dude! Yeah I've got my eye on that Kenobi release; can't wait for that series! Still kicking around art ideas, trying to decide on the most *bold one* to pursue ✨

[@FlumpyTripod]

You always have some new style of pixel art with each video. Very nice to see all the possibilities of such a "limited" artstyle

[@saultoons]

I love this, I want a real BJG custom Tamagotchi now!!!!! Someone get on the phone and make it happen :D

[@BJGpixel]

Haha thanks dude; yeah that'd be so fun to design for real! ✨

[@vivianetirone762]

oh man! the colored lineart does wonders in bringing this piece home. great work as always!

[@RyanLee-ro8bo]

I want this tamagotchi right now, its so cute. Great video btw I started watching since 2020

[@uniworkhorse]

The animations were such a nice touch, really appreciate the effort to emulate the look of an LCD

[@feralpossum2089]

the result is so, so freaking adorable!! Love that sofa detail lol

[@mikab.4838]

The final artwork is so cute!! The colors give it such a nice comfy feel

[@alessandraalbuquerque8621]

your artwork is incredible omg

[@れいんいわくら]

I am so in love with your art and creativity. You are a genius. If I could, I would spend hours watching you creating new sprites and scenes while listening all your tips and knowledge.

[@CKTDanny]

Oh man, those animations are SO nostalgic - you did a great job capturing the fidelity of those displays! 👾 Great touch on the details too - it's really cool to see your style of detailing on top of the simpler egg-like design of the Tomagotchis 😁 And I can't believe you still have one too! Makes me wonder if my old Tomagotchi is stashed away in a drawer or somewhere 🥲

[@BJGpixel]

Thanks, yeah it was fun to experiment with the design and the translation of details to a pixel art presentation ✨ Haha so I actually got the Tamagotchi in the vid only a few years ago; they ran a marketing stunt where they were giving them away for free (just had to pay ~$10 shipping). My true original one from back in the day is long since unaccounted for; poor little guy, hope they're alright 🥲

[@nickbell1198]

I learn so much from these. Thank you!

[@Trumpheishim]

Talk about attention to detail, awesome work

[@IrisLuminMiel]

I really adore your pixel art! The handheld digital cat is such a cute design and so nostalgic!

[@TimConceivable]

this is sooo good! i love the animations and that lagging effect is exactly like how those old LCD displays looked. you really nailed that 90s look to the device design. i love how simple the 3D model is also. i think the hexagonal buttons actually work better than round ones that you made in the pixel version.

[@Neutronized]

awesome workflow, thanks for sharing!

[@ImusNoxa]

I always love your videos. They're always so chill and have that perfect blend of entertainment and educational value

[@mildgoo0193]

I've been waiting for this lesson for a long time. Thankfully

[@oartchid]

thank you for uploading! i’ve been into pixel art but it’s hard to find pixel artists. i’ve been thinking of making a comic from pixel art thanks to one of your videos! love your work, keep it up!❤️

[@anasalchayah2742]

God that shit you make is god dame good, you know that feeling when you like, discover a new genre of music that charms you and you just say "daaemme where was that my whole life" I just got that with your vids. pls pls if you ever considering a new vid idea I would love to know how those old RTS games like Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 and so on got their pixel art style, that would be crazy to finally understand and keep up doing whatever black magic fockry you doing I love it

[@aiehaye]

Dude... You are great! 😊👍

[@lovebird1925]

Okay I know what i'm about to go do with all my free time for a while. This is so cool and inspired me, thanks for the video

[@garwert]

Cute as hell! Some really nice stylization, love it.

[@HectoGamez]

Hey I was wondering have you seen r/place and some of the pixel art there? I would love to know your thoughts and maybe some of your your favorite bits? I think it’s awesome how much amazing art is being made by different communities

[@umimop]

Wow!!! I'm actually making a story, that revolves around cute electronic pet-toys, and was currently agonizing over a mock-up! It turned out to be the hardest part of the whole process, and that is taking the story, concepts and basic mechanics for the game and character design in and out of the game into account. This is going to be so much help! Thank you!!!

[@TreshToons]

Hey man, been learning pixelart recently, after 7years of being an illustrator. Learned a lot from watching your videos, would love to see your Sprite analysis on an upcoming game called Souldiers, absolutely beautiful style.

[@raycast_rae]

i recently got 2 tamagotchis for my birthday a few days ago, i really thought they wouldnt work but they are as great as this art you made :)

[@lc-rossi]

I discovered your channel recently and I'm watching a couple of videos everyday. Your work is inspiring, thanks for sharing with us!

[@kappy2151]

You amaze me every video. Thank you so much for your work you put into everything you make :)

[@sproutlune]

your art is so inspiring!

[@vapandris]

hi! I used to do pixel art ~5 years ago, when I had infinite time, and now I went back to it a few months ago, and your channel has been a godsend.

[@frogwav]

This looks awesome!

[@princeofmornings]

I really enjoy your videos, you are informative and entertaining to watch. However, as someone interested in retro game development, I wish to hear you speak about creating sprite animations by using the limitations of tiles. Especially during the 16-bit beatemup era, where those large character sprites were actually composed of multiple 8x8 or 16x16 tiles.

[@urassari]

ah yes, the four tamagotchi icons: fish, heat, dithering, and toy.

[@AlbertoFdzM]

This is awesome. Your videos have helped me with pixel art and color theory a lot. Thank you. How did you make the "FINAL ARTWORK" section? Did you use any tools for the timelapse? Thanks again

[@unoriginalusername4416]

I'd also love a breakdown on the, well, breakdown animation at the ends of these videos. Something to answer questions like... How do you decide which steps are important enough to include? What goes into setting up the timing, like making the balls on the chain appear one-by-one without making it feel like its lost momentum? Is there some way of recording the canvas without your zooms and pans, or is each frame captured and saved separately for later?

[@SPEEDYDIM2]

UR SO GOOD AT THIS

[@jingbot1071]

MANAGOMCHI TMAGAMOTCHI GAMATOGCHI MAGTAGGAMCHI!!!!!!! aaaaa best virtual pet!

[@dirtfriend]

whoa, i had no clue CSP has an, albeit limited, 3d toolset. that's pretty cool

[@ununnam8859]

second video ive watched and i am already enjoying your work good job.

[@Cam1417-TK]

I love it so much!!

[@NobodyAtAll420]

Awesome!!!!

[@nittayoshifumi8252]

[@bobo-zs9zv]

The lagging aspect is a great idea however, I’m finding it hard to break down how you’ve done that it layman’s terms. I don’t suppose you could explain how it’s achieved in a little more depth please? :)

[@The_Wosh]

Speaking about virtual pets, you should look at the sprites on the digimon ones, specially the ones on the digivice iC

[@smancometh4882]

Would love to see you do some art similar to “Kingdom Hearts: Chain Memories” or “Yoshi’s Island”!

[@night8913]

Didn’t you use this for a game?

[@SianaGearz]

LAYER 7 COPY 8 Yep that's the life.

[@BJGpixel]

😅 _this isn't even my final form_

[@_raffi]

Have been watching your videos since a year now and didn't even notice I wasn't subscribed to you! Had to change that of course

[@rusipanov8906]

You are a great artist! :)

[@DadVader]

Cool! I know that they've released R2D2 tamagotchi. Must buy it for "my kids" 😁😉

[@BJGpixel]

Yeah I saw that, such a fun idea! Wonder if there's a Grogu one too! 🤔✨

[@DadVader]

@@BJGpixel I wish there was! 😁

[@nthSonata]

I think this'd be cool to see remade in picoCAD!

[@HyperKaito]

The dithering brush I saw it on Piskel

[@Ty-douken]

This program seems like it could be used to create primitive 3D scenes like from promotional art for Mario RPG. That has me super interested, wish I could afford to not work my job so I got to play with this stuff all day while I also got to continue playing games.

[@jonrenicus1832]

Awesome work! Would you ever consider doing something similar with a tiger handheld game?

[@stijnverhave3639]

Could you try voxal art? I am very curious how you are going to use it

[@ziggysimpsonofficial]

What’d you call him - Robaire Junior? (Sorry, just wanted to do a small Turning Red reference there, which I think you should probably make a pixel art piece out of. Or a few more than one.)

[@SethKotta]

More cats are always good

[@Maad_City]

Hi Brandon, I really enjoy watching your videos. I’m curious, is this your full time job? Would love to hear from you :)

[@nyby3842]

Hi thank you for your videos! I have a question. What is the outlook for pixel art in the United States or any other europe contries? And I wonder if it is a good environment for foreigners to get a job with related skills.

[@6Pope9]

Hi Brandon, could you do something like Dead cell’s animation 3D to 2D? Would be really appreciated

[@Velp]

If you enjoy modeling like that, you may also enjoy building in Rec Room.

[@AnimaKon]

now it's more like nekogotchi than tamago

[@AlessandroCecconi]

Petal Runner before going public

[@delo102]

Hey, you can pls make a video about Crocotile 3D, pleeeeeeeeeeease

[@Polygonlin]

How you still consider yourself "JUST" a Hobbiest at this, is beyond me lol

[@joekyu2517]

The biggest question is, what’s the 3rd option? Do u get to play chess with ur pet?

[@dialog_box]

wait you can do more than just primitives with clip studio can't you? there's like a whole library of downloadable assets i thought. at least that's what that one legendary Drawfee video led me to believe 🤷‍♂ edit: to be fair i can't see why you'd need any more than just primitives for a project like this. but you still have the option i hope

[@ragewireloki6213]

There is a project called megaman x engine. I know you like megaman and think you should check them out. Their sprites are really cool.

[@nitrohite]

I WISH you made the background a wallpaper for phones 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@Arachnid-Man]

👍nice vid! 👌

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

All I really remember about my Tamagotchi, is that I had NO idea what to do with it. I just didn't get it.

[@imzmugemzm]

Call it a Nanogotchi Because Nano + Tamagotchi

[@Zh_Enz06]

Does anyone have sprites from the anime "Nagatoro"?

[@Roman_Kaizen]

I am a person who is passionate about pixel art.

[@codexed-i]

i was the second person to watch it, but it was on my tv so i havent posted the comment

[@Nodsaibot]

"rad 90's type of pattern" sir that is 80's ! 90s is grunge for youth and earth tones for biz

[@Pancreaticdefect]

I wonder if you could use an old Etch A Sketch Animator or Etch A Sketch Animator 2000 to do some pixel art. If I recall correctly, both allowed you to store drawings as individual frames for simple animations. The 2000 had a lot more features and was easier to use due to its stylus.

[@mrCetus]

this is sooo good! i love the animations and that lagging effect is exactly like how those old LCD displays looked. you really nailed that 90s look to the device design. i love how simple the 3D model is also. i think the hexagonal buttons actually work better than round ones that you made in the pixel version.
