SynopsisThe debut monograph from renowned pixel artist Waneella, showcasing a decade of her distinctive pixelated landscape compositions. This compelling monograph documents Waneella's journey from novice pixel-pusher to world-renowned artist, indisputably the leading name in this new reinvention of the once-retro pixel-art aesthetic. The book takes us from her early experiments with the pixel art form creating pseudo-videogame visuals, through to the years where her unique style crystallized, fusing sci-fi-tinged architecture, cinematic hints of narrative, and masterful deployment of light sources and shadow. Alongside this complete catalogue of Waneella's works are several 'Process' sections, walking the reader through Waneella's working style, which often initially draws influence from Japanese streets found via Google Streetview. Her creative process is explored step by step, detailing the underlying structure, rigorous perspective work and experimentation that goes into every piece. Each step is accompanied by open and often very funny commentary from the artist herself - some of these 'how tos' span over twenty steps, making Pixelscapes a must-have for Waneella's legions of budding pixel artist followers. Opening with a foreword by Japanese videogame designer and fellow T&H author of Project UrbEx , Ikumi Nakamura, the book features a 5,000-word profile charting Waneella's creative journey in her own words., A pixel (picture [pix] element [el]) on its own can seem inconsequential. Yet, when spun together in great quantities, pixels can be used to convey entire worlds - brimming with life. Pixel artist Valeriya Sanchilo - better known as Waneella - burst onto the Internet in 2013. Since then, her work has brought the world hundreds of transfixing digital creations: cityscapes that recast the background as the spectacle of the scene; quiet rooms bathed in light, leaves falling, water moving, ventilator fans whirring lazily. Taking inspiration from videogame graphics and Japanese culture, but always working from her imagination, this book presents the journey of Waneella alongside the mesmerizing pixel-based output from her first decade., The debut book from renowned pixel artist Waneella, showcasing a decade of her distinctive pixelated landscape compositions.
