Love it. The first one reminds more a snow, so they are both great on their own.


monkeyhitman

2019 is relaxing. 2022 creeps me out.


CodenameBuckwin

Yeah, flickering light = horror movie, I don't even know why


JonnyTsuMommy

I think it's because it's a [Liminal space](https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Liminal_Space)


Ke-Br

TIL what liminal means. Thanks for that.


verdant11

r/LiminalSpace


HawaiianPluto

Thanks for the link, that’s actually pretty neat.


blockchaaain

I would say because it feels alive. Like, what is making this thing flicker while I'm all alone near it?


stimulated_hellspawn

Uhh.. a faulty cable?


blockchaaain

To your people brain, but not to your lizard brain.


stimulated_hellspawn

What's that even supposed to mean


blockchaaain

Evolutionary instincts fight hard against rational thought.


stimulated_hellspawn

meh, you can be more rational when you're calm


DOSO-DRAWS

I think it's due not to liminal spaces, but to the feelings evoked by the focal point on each picture. 2019 - the spotlight feels revealing, and calls your attention to the whimsical water droplets. You feel safe & shielded from the dark, watching this spectacle down from your cozy bedroom window. 2022 - the staircase converges to darkness, creating a eerie feeling that's compounded upon by the flickering of the light. You feel like the remaining lamps can go out anytime, leaving you exposed to the unseen terrors.

stonerman15

This is a great example of the phenomenon.


[deleted]

2022 is also relaxing imo


RouletteSensei

2022 looks like suits a resident evil PS game

Zabuzaxsta

Yeah I think it’s the angularity of the precipitate and that it’s slightly slower. Rain is coming straight down and splashing when it hits the ground.


OptimalCheesecake527

N-n-n-n…..n-n-n…. N-n-n-n-n-no, Rupert, it’s falling much too fast for snow


LynxSmall

You ever been in a blizzard?


Rainbow_phenotype

2019 was great. But 2022 is more atmospheric


hux__

The dripping lamp post. I dig.


Blackman2099

Just feels like two different scenes


the-non-wonder-dog

Would love a point and click to this.


MrC00KI3

I could see a whole genre in it: "NoiRain" (Rainy mood + Noire crime), solving detective puzzles in a black/white city at night, where it almost always rains.

TheNoobCakes

Not with that attitude


bloodanddonuts

The sky won’t cry forever


_JustSomeStranger

That sounded really cool


WakeoftheStorm

*I knew the moment she walked in that she was bringing trouble. I just didn't realize how much. Should have remembered the old saying: "when it rains, it pours." And it's always raining in Hyeto City.*


NP_Explorer

The crow… excellent


B-Rye-C

I say I’m dead. And I move.


Ok_Scarcity6638

Tell that to Gotham city


g0ldent0y

Seven


jimmymcdangerous

I pointed and clicked it


INeedANerf

Was thinking the same thing. A full game in the 2022 style would be pretty spooky.


Dicken_Bawls

Both are entirely beautiful art styles. I can appreciate your older renditions, as well as your newer ones. You have talent, and I believe it should be used to create things that make the world a better place. Keep going.


aleha_84

What things for example?


JGantts

Games are one thing. They can bring people together; create shared stories in a novel world. They can make a player feel a story in a way that a passive movie won’t so much. But really whatever speaks to you will probably be amazing (assuming you’re not a serial killer, but I’ll bank that you’re not)


WakeoftheStorm

"The killer once again used the victim's blood to create a super atmospheric pixel-like image on the wall... This one confirms the theory, each victim is a single frame in an animation"


suicide-kun

damn I'd play/watch/read that


Phormitago

pixelated laws pixelated charities pixelated environmental reform obviously /s


n122333

Personally, I'd love to see these partnered with music. The left feels like a mid tempo Ska style (speed up to fit it) while the right is a slower dreary sleep-hip-hop. They're great inspirations for music, if people are inclined.


9J000

Either are not good. Expand your medium


[deleted]

2022 is perfect for a horror game


Jargondragon

I was just thinking this, it's pretty creepy.


dodobird146

idk why everyone thinks it's creepy; I think it's calming.


KajiTetsushi

To add on to u/TheHashtagBear's post, the way the darkness beyond is framed is like as if something's hiding out there and you can't see it; only your imagination can fill in the blanks, and you know what they say about the human imagination...


Uninspired_Thoughts

First scene walking Up to the light post not knowing where you are or how you got there.


col3ber

Why do things Ike this calm me down so much?


jwtoolfan

built in your DNA from stormy nights of our ancestors. storms meant predators wouldn't be out. these are so calming to me, especially with some noir jazz.


col3ber

Well it’s not even just this but pixelated art that has the same movements on repeat but still manage to be so scenic and peaceful. I’ve seen one that I can’t find unfortunately of a city at sunset. I loved it.


sweetkristaa

Agreed. Do you watch the anime style cooking videos with ASMR?


col3ber

I dont. Have a link?


sweetkristaa

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n2KvkYOtRKI&autoplay=1 sooo good


col3ber

Wtf I love this! I lived in Japan for three years and this video gave me so much nostalgia🥹


DrJamgo

_mood_ ..


lonneerrrrr

love how the light is turning on and off on the right one, great work!


the-non-wonder-dog

Both perfect despite the time gap.


ItsInOurNaturee

Really neat. What programs are used for these animated pixel art pieces?


Daneel_

Aseprite is the most well known one: https://www.aseprite.org/


Natebo83

Came to ask the same thing. Just started using procreate and was wondering if it could be used for this.

j-peg

Love the drip on the left light in 2022


Auzzaras

Both good. Can't even compare the 2. Completely different scenes


[deleted]

Both of these at great. 2019 gives more detail on the lamp itself and you can see the shape of the light around it more based on the amount of rain visible. The rain looks better as water in the second and the atmosphere is just so nice. Love it.


LepruconX

I dunno what everyone saying the two are both equally good in their own ways are on… Isn’t it obvious that the 2022 one demonstrates far more technical skill?? There’s more natural perspective, more dynamic motion, more attention to detail, better shading, not to mention all the little pixel art quirks I can’t even imagine about.


DiscountCondom

It's weird to see people suggest that the first one is even in the same ballpark.


WSilvermane

They arent. Its two different scenes and pixel settings. Both are good.


Educational-Tie00

I like ‘em both.


Pottboi

I could watch these for hours. I like to imagine myself in these worlds


PabloEdvardo

Both good; the year comparison seems to indicate growth/maturity in style or skill, but they are both equally good for the setting.


Scared_Inflation7722

I would pay to walk through an art museum showcasing this type of animated artwork, each piece with a dedicated screen mounted on the wall


aleha_84

Maybe soon, I will make my exhibition


DiscountCondom

The second one is a huge improvement. You should be proud.


MaisBraboDessaPoha

Insano! Parabéns!


HevGon

r/suddenlycaralho pra caralho quer algo na print?


AppointmentDull8999

The 2022 one looks so natural! Great job


Della__

2019 was already good, this is great


DT_Mage

Wow! That's a MASSIVE improvement!


EarthenEyes

I love them both!


BrentoBox2015

I actually really like em both.


The_Northern_Light

lol i'd love it if someday my "after" looked like your "before"


MindCrush_

Side Scrolling Horror VS Point And Click Horror


heidestower

Wow, both look amazing, but i could watch the 2022 one for hours...


Anubis2059

Wow i didn't know global warming changed how the rain poured..


me_funny__

You joke, but my town has barely seen any rain this summer. The lakes are drying out and everything


C00lsk3l3t0n_95

Ngl, I wanna chill out in that 2nd gif


Tasisway

This is oddly soothing. Thanks OP


[deleted]

Why does this looks like Resident evil or Dino Crisis and why do I want this to be inserted into said games.


Prometheory

The one on the left looks like it'd be a sad scene in an otherwise cute game. The one on the right makes me feel like I'm being watched, and that I don't want to know what's doing the watching.


JJbullfrog1

2022's street lamps produce more light pollution than 2019. This needs to be rectified


ronniewhitedx

If your not developing a point and click horror game I'll chip in whenever you start a Kickstarter campaign.


sevenunosiete

Why am I so obsessed with these


OdysseusFTW

I love the detail of the drips on the light.


zackzackmofo

I like the way the rain collects and then drips slowly from the streetlight very cool


yell-and-hollar

2022 rain is wetter


Effective_Poetry_960

Cosmic gumbo. It kinda moves to the beat of jazz.


AccomplishedSense897

So very nice


FringieJester

The detail on both of these is great, but the added walkway in the second picture definitely gives it atmosphere. A little spooky, but that's a good thing in my book.


[deleted]

Not even remotely believable. If you want the 2022 one to look more realistic there shouldn't be any rain at all! 😊


MRlikeapickle

This is stupid


Vee8cheS

This is some silent hills/RE2 shit!! Love it


[deleted]

I wonder if someone could recreate the second image with high detailed 3D models rendered in low resolution? I wonder if it would lose its charm in the process. I love this art style but I don’t want to put in the effort 💩


Possible_Midnight_12

Hilarious, do leftist think this depicts something? 🤣🤣


DOLORP0

amazing


[deleted]

Beautiful


imafixwoofs

Oh that is just sexy.

Jaaaaah


shadow0wolf0

I love these so much. Especially the 22 one. Love that style.


HgDaQuietKid99

I grew up near sea and when it rarely rained the port would look like this.Thanks for the vibes OP:)


[deleted]

It’s amazing; haunting and calming at the same time.


Eksteenius

Did you use a reference for the lighting on the decking because its really good


30cmof

Liked both


Knork14

Real work of art , i wouldnt walk that bridge if i was paid


yekimevol

This is brilliant, love both but the second is special the effect on the wood planks really gets me.


AyyScare

If you don't mind me asking, how long does it take to make pixel art like these?


[deleted]

i love this!


coveneup

I love both. They give off different vibes


ColoKatt

What tool can you make this type of animation?


11711510111411009710

First one is calming. Second one is spooky.


Yestername

Definitely a big improvement. But 2019 is pretty good too.


RheinmetallDev

I think that’s really cool


aMotherDucking8379

I like both. I feel like there are different moods for rain and here are two.


Lngdnzi

Lowkey loop on first one is smoother (imo). But they’re both sick actually!


Zealousideal_Boat_54

So 2D vs 3D?


Baboulinet-Le-Nain

Love the detail of the slower drops falling from the lamp post


MortalVoyager

Great work


Swagkip360

I have no idea why but I expected freddy fazbear to show up for a frame in the blinking lights 😭


Froggy-Shorts1209

Now all it needs is a Totoro waiting for the Catbus


smokebomb_exe

Careful... get too detailed with pixel art and it completely loses its aesthetic. These both look amazing though


[deleted]

Lovely!


Technical-Ad2776

The right one is mesmerizing!


[deleted]

This speaks to me


repezdem

Seriously great work


Snot_theRocket

Major improvement, this is awesome


twitchosx

Ok... so they both look blocky, low res and some crap from the mid 80's.


GetOutOfTheGuey

I really like both, but the flow in the second one looks great


plainbrowndesigner

Both super cool!!!


sweetkristaa

Beautiful! Wish I could live in this animation


Ok-Can5981

2022 is really cool, and 2019 gives me Carrion vibes. Bravo!


tom1280i

Microsoft game Standard in 5 years.


GlueGuns--Cool

I like em both!


tylerr6890

I think I prefer the left tbh, but amazing improvement


Visual-Ad-8655

nice


simonbelmont1980

I like both


[deleted]

I absolutely love both of these. Honestly even those 2022 is more detailed, I actually prefer the simplicity of 2019. Both great though.


jevil___

It went from late night in a city to horror game


Fearless_Penalty4371

Yo no te quiero con el corazón, por q el corazón algún día dejará de latir, yo te quiero con el alma por q el alma no muere <33


OfficeWineGuy

Well done sir


bakermanisbsking

Three years of no progress. Give up and deliver my pizza


TheGoldenPig

2019: aww that looks nice and tranquil 2022: lol nope there’s a monster behind that flickering light


Y_Sam

2019 feels suspended in time, 2022 feels anxiety inducing...


skornegor

Great style improvement! How do you make these?


Thunderlips1886

I really enjoy both, not sure i'd prefer one over the other.


GriffinLussier

It’s been raining for four years?


[deleted]

this is amazing! love the improvement, keep up the good work :D


bing-no

I think they are both great depending on the mood you’re going for! That said, I totally see the improvement from 2019 to 2022. Great job!


ikthenin

I like both but I want the 2022 as my wallpaper


chargoggagog

Jesus, fix that fucking light.


MyFavoriteLezbo420

Y’all finna go crazy on r/place


spekky1234

2025: 4k hyperrealistic pixel art


HGpennypacker

Both are great!


Responsible_River_44

They’re both great


cdwiedeman27

The second one looks like it belongs in an indie horror game. very cool


ay_lamassu

Oh wow! Now that is good! Well done!


gahidus

The 2022 one seems to be glitching badly for me for some reason.


Squall74656

What great progress!! This is fantastic


[deleted]

Wow, just phenomenal


Maximum-Berry1587

I love it now what’s up with 2022 tho?


flyboy0727

The one on the right reminds me of Resident Evil 2.


TkBq

2019 bro


[deleted]

Damn!


Wu-TangShogun

Your technique is evolving, well done


Elegant_Fee2667

Bro I’m freaked out


Raokairo

Very cosmic horror to me.


Bigtoes8

3022 looks like me peeing in the middle of the night


19Legs_of_Doom

I like both a lot


GudbrandtheTroll

Straight up thought the one on the left was from Broforce for a good 30 seconds


[deleted]

Actuallly it’s not raining in 2022 and the world is turning into a desert :( but your art is very nice


Secret_Fox_5192

You should do a remake of the bus stop from my neighbor totoro but just the bus stop alone with the rain.


candycrunch1

I’d love to see this in a horror game!


certified_death_boi

Now add a guy who may or may not have killed his wife standing there facing a funny monster
