Portrait of Junji Ito.
Junji Ito is a Japanese horror manga artist. He is best known for his works "The Enigma of Amigara Fault" and "Uzumaki," both of which have been adapted into live-action films. Ito's works often feature surreal and grotesque imagery and have gained a large following in Japan and internationally.
This creation is part of a purely NeoPop artistic approach. Strongly inspired by the 80s/90s and popular culture, this graphic work uses its codes: pixel-art, 8-bit design, colors inspired by the world of video games, dialogue portraits (avatar), characters from Pop culture, etc |
Thanks for your return !
I must admit that I work much more on the 64px and 32px versions than the others. That said, even if I see and understand your feelings, I added the gray pixels to make it clear that the character wears glasses without conflicting with the black pixels of the eyes. It's a difficult balance to have, it may not be the best solution I've chosen even if, concerning me, it doesn't shock me either... maybe a little for the mouth. I will try to be attentive to this in the future because I understand what you wanted to express ;)
Stay tuned!
