Note: I’m still doing the sketchy commissions! Today I’ve just been working on Marina’s, and I’ve been working on my English ISU. Just be patient! ;w;
Welcome to Poorly Pixelated Items! I’m your host, Anna! Today I’ll be showcasing all of the poorly pixelated items that the Fantage developers and artists probably didn’t care at all about to even try to make these items look good. Let’s get started, shall we?
I’m also mainly focusing on what’s in LeShop right now, because I can’t be bothered to look at every single item released on Fantage.
Considering that shirts, pants and shoes are easy targets, I’m not doing them. I will also not showcase items that look good, despite it’s simplicity/terrible shading.
First we’ll begin with the “What else do you expect?”
Some of these can look good, but for the most part, the shading is awful.
Next we have the “Eh, I’ve seen better… Much better.”
The hairs are an easy target, but C’MON. When a shirt is badly pixelated, it’s easy to make it look nice anyways. They’re simple but neat. But if you have some silly looking hair… It’s difficult to look nice.
Last we have the “You didn’t even try.”
The outfits in Zack’s Acting Academy man! It’s a joke! So are those outfits. And those hairs… Look Fantage, I know you want to make it seem like we have a variety of different hairstyles to choose from, but you have to be insane to be content with one of these. (The idea of the hairs aren’t exactly bad, it’s the shading.)
Y’know, they should really try harder to make items look neat. Even so, most items aren’t pixelated well. They really do need to get new artists, as it seems like they’ve had the same and only one for about a year… (And while she can make some hairs look neat, others look terrible.)
If only they had Gaia Online’s artists… It would look gorgeous!

Just because they’re poorly pixelated doesn’t mean it’s bad.
It just means that Fantage should have tried harder, because boy the art is elementary.

Eh, it’s a company. People are paid to pixel. They make this quality instead.

Hey, the 75 Star brown hair is actually kind of cute! 😛
But bleh… Some of these pixel artists seem to have been sleeping through their lessons on what shading is. -_-

Some items are cute, but I’m criticizing the quality of the pixels. I mean, I think some items look good if they were actually done well.

I actually really like the “What else do you expect?” ones ;w;
simple pixeling is best pixeling
okay those hairs are ugly
but I don’t think it’s the pixeling (it’s actually pretty decent), I think it’s just the design of them overall~
Totally agree, Fantage should actually hire some legit pixel artist -.-
I have a feeling that the current pixel artist
is some poor soul from the programming department that was forced to do the pixel art because Fantage was too laze to find a new pixel artist uwu
btw~you’re missing a few
some of these aren’t even pixeling -.-

I think simple pixeling works for small items such as shirts and pants (in fact, all of the simple ones look great!) but it’s when the item looks large, and is supposed to stand out from the rest. I think some designs are good (I mean, I liked the designs of “what else do you expect?” Because really, they are simple and we can really expect more) but they would look a lot better if polished.
Poor programmer ;-;

pixeling is way too detailed
used way too many colours
and way too saturated
just looks like they draw it up digitally
and shrunk it down to fantage size
basically it looks like a mess in terms of pixel art, design is great tho~~<3
