I tried to draw a cute stylized cat from imagination, and see I’ll need more practice. Also, 64 by 64 pixels is a bit cramped for this art style. I probably need to bump it up to 96 by 96 or 128 by 128 pixels.

You’ve undoubtably noticed that the 30 days were in fact 33 days. Who is counting if they’re having fun?
It was indeed very enjoyable, though tiring. Doing pixel art is as slow as doing coloring pencils (i.e. very slow), at least, for me it is. I could easily spend 6 hours on a pixel art drawing, not counting research and pauses. It wasn’t sustainable on the long run. This is why I stopped as soon as I had another challenge in sight, the photo blogging challenge by micro∙blog, which I repurposed for pixel art, called it SepPixel.

There’s a new set of 7 prompts for the micro∙blog photo blogging challenge for September 2023. There was a request for more prompts, but I failed miserably by suggesting a very negative word. I was never any good at words or writing or narrative. Not for lack of trying, though. There was more than enough of the latter, just too few successful attempts to matter.
Words, how do they even work?
As for my contribution in pixel art… Let’s say it’s a work in progress.
