Wow this comment made my whole week! Thank you so much. It means the world to me, even more coming from a skilled artist such as yourself!
Thank you so much for all the compliments! So glad you like it. No, actually I was just fiddeling around trying to find how to frame the first portrait, and ended up doing this dithered gradient framing, and after many different colour trials to find the best contrast with the portrait colours, it just felt so complete and right with the black drop shadow! I couldnt be happier that it looks like some 80's design, it's an aesthetic I love. Thanks again!
Cool framing and colors used, quite like the digital look that the linear dithering gives combined with the pink hues.
I always know when something is yours because it has those killer shades of pink that I'm absolutely obsessed with, and that uniquely stunning dithering technique. I love everything about your aesthetic.
These portraits are great, both in pixel art style, mood, aesthetic and vibe. What inspired the frame? Did you have a reference for 80s graphic design?
Thank you so much! Very glad you like the dithering style and everything.
