Abstract

The objective of this creative research is to study the identity of the Buddhabhucha community, Phitsanulok, and to use that information to create pixel art presenting the identity of the community. Research methods began with surveying the area for collecting data. From then, use the findings as a guideline for creating works. Beginning with conceptualisation, job scoping, creating a prototype image, creating a presentation image, and then taking the resulting work assessed by locals and experts and distributed via digital media.


The results of this research are seven views of pixel art images such as top, top-down, 45° dimetric, side scroller, Isometric, oblique, and true perspective. All of them have characteristics of pixel Art which are using the dot, limited colour palettes, grid arrangement, and deliberately arrangement. They represent the three distinctive identities of the Buddhabhudha Community, Phitsanulok. such as area Identity, lifestyle identity, and historical identity.
