My Pixel Art
Pixel art is the art medium I've spent the most time learning, as early as 2013.
Mega Man, Shovel Knight and Owlboy are just a small number of video games that showed me just how much can be done with so little.
Earthbound has been my biggest inspiration, with its unconventional art style and undeniable personality being embedded in most of my current work.
One of my goals would be to create a video game in a similar vein as the Mother series, producing all of the art assets myself.
My Illustrations
Digital art has been another focus of mine ever since 2022, when I was sketching one of my favorite albums and saw the potential it had if I made prints and sold them online.
Initially I started using Krita and a basic Huion tablet, with the art program being easy to understand at a very basic level and the tablet being gifted to me years prior.
However, as my passion for art continued to grow, so did the need for more professional software and hardware.
Procreate ended up being the most convenient for what I was looking for, as it provides endless possibilities for what can be created, while also being easy to use for simple projects.
Myself
My name is Dalton Keslar. I'm a self taught digital artist from Sarasota, Florida.
Even as a child I would pause my television while watching cartoons and draw whatever character was on screen.
My dad used to do watercolor paintings when he was younger, so it's fair to assume his artistic abilities carried over to me at an early age.
Even if my work isn't as successful as I would hope, I will always know I put as much as I could into it and stayed true to myself as an artist and creator.
