Redrawing NES sprites

[@wantedasylum1091]

Princess Peach's Redraw might be my personal favorite, it's like if all the current princesses of the Mario Universe were blended into 1.

[@danny_krow]

Haha, I like that outlook xD

[@LuigiTheMetal64]

The best design for the two block stack eyes would be the tall and drooping eyes. Tall ovals can work.

underrated video fr fr

[@danny_krow]

Thank you, thank you!

[@Picoz245]

I thought that was Princess peach's open mouth, not lips. I thought she was like ''=D''

[@danny_krow]

I mean to be fair, it very well could be that too xD Guess that’s the fun part about interpreting old sprites, no one knows what it’s really trying to depict lmao

[@Picoz245]

Check 4:22 of ''What If Mario Characters looked Like Their Original Sprites?'' There's another depiction of her with the mouth open@@danny_krow

[@Zaymer382]

These are great my personal favorites are ganon and peach

[@Dawntje_]

Hey, these are nice interpatations of the sprites you drew. Nice work! All though, I am a little confused about the Pikachu sprite since there weren't any official NES games of Pokemon, and certainly not that one since it originated in Ruby and Sapphire.

[@danny_krow]

Yeah that’s true. I really struggled to find good 8bit art, especially from well known franchises since some are pretty accurate to the official art and I wanted a bit of variation. And changing the title to 8bit instead of NES didn’t have the same ring to it.

[@Dilmi.AOUKLI]

I think you improved Peach's ingame design from Super Mario Bros. , the original sprite looks like she's pointing while saying "eeeeeeeey"

[@danny_krow]

Ahahaha, you’re right I never noticed LMAO

[@patrickbaillargeon1933]

I just discovered your channel. I'm always up for supporting up and coming artists, and I see a lot of promise in your art. I can tell that you have a very good base for a beginner and I'm eager to see your skill grow as you keep working. You got a new sub.

[@doodsepik]

if you do this again, use the spriter's resource for the sprites and crop the sprite you want to do out.

[@danny_krow]

Thanks! I’ll try to keep that in mind!

this dinner is what all true warios strive for

[@Hoofler]

Nice dude this is really cool! =]

[@danny_krow]

Thanks you!!

[@quadrillage3838]

no way you are putting 35% opacity black for the shadows

[@danny_krow]

Nah, for shadows I usually just use a darker version of the base color

[@quadrillage3838]

@@danny_krow oh okay, it just looked like for peach’s skin

[@luciehaberzettlova7240]

We need a pokemon yellow retake in 2024 super mario bros retake in 2025 and the legend of zelda retake in 2026

[@danny_krow]

You’re absolutely right! It’s a shame that lets go pikachu is only playable with joycons, and now with the new Zelda formula, the first Zelda game could have a great remake!

[@andiewand9452]

Great idea and good video! =D keep it up and you will get far d=(´▽｀)=b

[@danny_krow]

Thank you so much!

[@plantgang2591]

i know this is just algorithm brainrot but i honestly think your thumbnail is really close to being outstanding like a little bit of eye catching text, and red arrow or circle, and maybe even blurring the end result would go a long way also, for the sake of retention, you can probably skip the background and shading part and just skip to the end result, unless of course you have something interesting to say about the process im not much of a content creator myself but i do know what gets people to watch cheers!

[@danny_krow]

Thank you so much for the feedback!

[@d-cyphers]

I really like your take on Gannon! The spit in his mouth was a cool (albeit gross) detail.

[@danny_krow]

Haha thanks!

[@randomistough0]

This is pretty underrated

[@danny_krow]

Hahaha thanks!

[@e-mananimates2274]

I actually doodled a couple of 8-Bit sprit redraws a long time ago. I'm not sure if I still have them, but I gave Princess Toadstool very large lips.

[@danny_krow]

Ahaha, very valid! I can definitely see why xD

[@e-mananimates2274]

@@danny_krow I have seen your artwork on Twitter and I find it charming! Correct me if i'm wrong, but have you ever tried animation?

[@danny_krow]

@e-mananimates2274 I’ve dabbled a bit with it, and I did have a couple animation classes in school. But nothing really TOO major.

[@e-mananimates2274]

@@danny_krow As someone who learned animation in college, I continue to experiment with the art form to this day. I always look for ways to animate and draw faster and more efficiently.

[@danny_krow]

@e-mananimates2274 Yeah I absolutely LOVE animation! I just don’t really have a way of working with it right now… I draw on my IPad so it feels a bit closer to working on paper. And I haven’t found any great animation software yet. But it sounds absolutely awesome what you do!

[@moviemaster1008]

Not to be critical, but the first sprite is a GB sprite of Pikachu, not an NES sprite.

[@danny_krow]

Yeah, true. But “drawing 8-bit sprites” didn’t hit the same for me😅
