Kane Pixels - Tumblr Posts

Getting a new game announced by Garage Heathen AND a new TOV(-related) video by Kane Pixels all within the span of like 24-36 hours is *wild* in the best way.

Let's add a new backrooms video aka Found Footage 3 to this and make it "all within the same week". This September is pretty awesome so far.

"Found Footage 3"

Fanart/concept made in GIMP for "Found Footage 3", the newest installment of the Backrooms series by Kane Pixels. The outline of the house was made with a screenshot reference from the video.

Thoughts beneath the cut; I will try to avoid obvious spoilers:

This is an art style I am currently experimenting with, though my current art backlog is long enough that I would have posted the first of the pictures in that art style in a week or two earliest. But then FF3 came out and I got the urge to make fanart for one particular scene, or at least make a concept of what I had in mind.

Yes, this is the house from the preview image. Those who have seen the video likely know which part of FF3 this picture is referencing. It was eerie, it was tragic, and I have so. many. questions.

Very simple fanart/concept that I made in a rush because I wanted to put the idea down and because the next few days are going to be rather busy for me, but I like it for how I managed to get the vibes and the general idea across imo.

Mixed media collage with an original drawing made by me that I then edited and colored in GIMP, and combined with a picture from pexels.com for the background. Based on whatever the heck Kane Pixels may or may not be teasing in his instagram stories and on his server connected to sun imagery and the phrase "splendor"/"splendid".

Further thoughts below the cut:

This was *awesome* to make; I haven't done traditional drawing in a long while and while I had to edit and combine multiple drawings in GIMP, it was great to see that I could make something like this myself completely from the ground up. I honestly wasn't sure I could and seeing that I indeed can do this is a huge boost for my self-confidence.

Coloring isn't something I am very good at tbh, but this gives this piece a sort of uncanny look that I actually think fits it quite well. Kinda gives it tarot-card vibes a bit.

To give a bit of background on the inspiration for the pic, Kane Pixels has had a few instagram stories and posts in his server that include similar motifs; a smiling sun and the phrase 'splendid'/'splendor'. Personally I think it might maybe be connected to the "Splendor Solis", but it could also just as likely be trolling on his part. We'll see.

No matter whether this ends up being *anything* on his part, it was fun to try and recreate the general idea and feel of the posts and just run with it, and to prove to myself that I could make something like this in the first place.

I have a different picture with a stock photo background as well as a picture with just the sun-mask-figure, which I will hopefully also post in the future.

Patterns (as PNGs) of The Rolling Giant from Kane Pixels' "The Oldest View" on Youtube, made with screenshots in GIMP. The Julien Reverchon Giant was originally made by Kevin Obregon.

This is from my phase of finding out how to make patterns and becoming a little bit obsessed with making them. The intention was to make some stuff that fans could potentially use for a fanpage or blogs, for example as backgrounds. I got a bit lost in the various filters and options in GIMP as well lol.

"The Pixel Giant" (pixel art)

My first pixel art! Pixel art/sprite of 'The Rolling Giant' from Kane Pixels' The Oldest View series. The original Julien Reverchon Giant was made by Kevin Obregon. I made this in Aseprite and upscaled it for better visibility.

So I really wanted to make pixel art *and* I wanted to make more fanstuff for The Oldest View, since there doesn't seem to be a lot of fanart etc. online. From this I got the - frankly - bonkers idea to make a pixel sprite of The Rolling Giant from TOV.

I didn't think my attempt would amount to much tbh, considering this is not exactly what I would call a 'beginner friendly' entity to recreate. But somehow, it turned out very well imo. I guess because there are some creative liberties that can be taken, but also because I might actually be able to do stuff I didn't even think was possible.

Of course, I could still improve bits and pieces, but for a first try I think this is...actually great. I am quite proud of myself, not just for making this, but for even trying in the first place.

(Making this has also reminded me that making art is great for the self-confidence it can bring, the joy of creating things, but also for the inherent feeling of community and 'silent communication' - so many things intersected that lead me to make this, and I am grateful for all the people and the art that has touched my life as I look at this little sprite. Even if some of them may never know I exist.)

(Also, this is likely only funny to me, but the creator of TOV goes by Kane Pixels and people make pixel art of TOV)

2nd splendor! picture I made, this one is closer in resemblance to the picture that originally inspired me to try my hand at this.

"Memories"

[sources: x / x ]

Fanart for the "Backrooms" series by Kane Pixels on Youtube, focusing on the character of Ivan Beck. Made in GIMP with free stock images from pexels.com.

(I am actually made this today and am posting it way ahead of schedule - I have multiple months of work in my backlog at this point oops. But considering we got a new video I felt its warranted.)

So I not only found - what I consider to be - perfect Ivan stock images, but also an image that reminded me of the Backrooms/Found Footage 3, and so I wanted to make some fanart with both. I initially tried to emulate the style in how Kane Pixels' song covers on YT look, which seemed fitting, but kinda ended up doing my own thing.

I really like the result - of course we do not have a lot of info about the character at this point, but there have been hints that there are themes of memory involved and that Ivan is linked closely to the Backrooms themselves. I like to think this piece managed to capture that.
