I like the design esthetics of this pixel art drawing I made in August. After being burnt out from self-challenges earlier this year, maybe I should pick up my Apple Pencil again, and join one of the many online suggestions for artistic self-challenges, only more selective this time. If a criterium (draw every day) becomes a target, it loses its usefulness

Another reason for me to avoid challenges, or, at least, put a strict limit on the number of challenges. I can really break down mentally. Ah well, we do what we can, don’t we? I’m happy I caught it and acted appropriately. No more challenges for a couple of months for me.

Pixel Dailies for 8 May 2022 was a quicky, because I was behind. The theme was “organic.” Playing organ with fruit in my mind.

Micro∙blog May challenge, day 10, “pot.” As usual, words have different meanings, be it a jar or a herb.

Today’s prompt for Pixel Dailies was “clock.” I chose a water clock, the most ancient version of a timepiece, assumably, as an artifact over 6000 years old.

Today’s Pixel Dailies task was to “pixel a set of units for a Tower Defense game.” I had to look that up, because I had no clue of what was meant, and now I do, nor what I was supposed to draw.

Today’s prompt for the micro∙blog May challenge #mbm was “park.” I recently visited the chapel dedicated to Saint Gertrude of Nivelles, and added some pixel art.

Pixel art. Today’s Pixel Dailies theme was “mario64.” I had this complicated fake 3D walk cycle in mind, when I remembered the slogan “think big, draw small.” This usually works when in time constraint.

Pixel art 🚧 What have I set myself up to for the Pixel Dailies challenge? This may take more hours than there are in a single day.

Today’s micro∙blog May challenge was “earth.” I tried to imagine how Shovel Knight would do a workout in his free time. He moves earth… with a shovel.

The theme for today’s Pixel Dailies was “split.” I loosely based my drawing on the James Bond character Oddjob.

The fourth day of the micro∙blog May challenge was hard, because I had too many solutions. People afraid of burglars can get in a thorny situation when people cutting their hands in a nightly climbing exercise sue the owners for damages, like cuts.

Today’s Pixel Dailies theme was isolated, and I chose Worf’s discommendation (from Star Trek NG s03e17 “Sins of the Father."

My entry for the MB May challenge, day 1, prompt “switch.” The switch is connected to the lamp in the pixel drawing. #mbmay
