Pixel Art Fallout Pip-Boy - Anything Goes Friday

It's Anything Goes Friday and I've been waiting to share this one. It's a Pip-Boy from the world of Fallout. I've been working on this one for awhile now and decided to finish it up today and share it. I'll break down my steps and at the end I'll share an animated gif of my steps.

Animated GIF At The End!

Step 1

As usual I'm starting with an outline. I started with a very rectangular shape, knowing I'd be refining it as I go. Sometimes you just need that first outline to get a sense for what you're about to do.

Step 2

Already refining that outline, it's looking less like a rectangle. I'm also adding a few inside details. I've added the basic outline for the screen and the knob on the side. Lots to do.

Step 3

I added a small knob outside the main outline here but really I'm focused on getting some more of the inside lines in place so I can better visualize the many details I still have to do.

Step 4

Rounded out that top right corner and continued with some more inside lines. I'm noticing that some things aren't lining up the way I think they should so I'll fix those next.

Step 5

I fixed the main knob, I didn't like how things were lining up. I also added a lot of little details inside. Things like lines and circles for small screws.

Step 6

Lots more inside details. It's actually looking a bit cluttered to me, so I think it's time to add some color next.

Step 7

Just throwing a base army green on it helps a lot. It's looking a lot better now and I'm a bit more confident that I'm on the right track.

Step 8

Not much here. I decided to add a second color around the screen just to see if helped more, which it did but I decided to come back to it later. I need a break.

Step 9

After a day I came back to this rejuvenated and got a lot of the coloring done. I darkened the base army green a bit, added color to the knobs and lines. I even started on some of the highlights. I added the green line through the screen just to give it a bit of life.

Step 10

Another day and I'm back at it. I liked how that green line livened it up and decided instead to have the main menu screen up and running. I also removed the dark outlines that were left and did some major work on the highlights. It feels done...
