Art

Progress on my character design is slow, yet steady. 🎨

Character design doesn’t come in a flash with me. It always has been a slow process, rather discouraging imo. I guess I’m not a glutton for details, which is a big drawback for creativity. 🎨

Scaling down often means (partially) redrawing a pixel art drawing.

My flatbed scanner isn’t functional anymore, so I had to scan with iOS. After importing the doodle as a reference, I drew this critter in Pixaki.

Great Scott, BTTF inspired pixel art, started on Linux GrafX2, completed on iPad Pixaki app. 160x144 px, 6 colors.
👾🖥👨‍🎨🎨🤓

I made a 32x32 pixel image with GrafX2 on Linux, imported it via the Secure ShellFish app to my iPad, and refined it with the Pixaki app.

I wish y’all a happy 2022!

Tracing still feels like cheating. Pixel art.
👾 🖥👨‍🎨🎨

I suppose understanding a face is half the (artistic) battle. Pixel art.
👾 🖥👨‍🎨🎨

🤔 Good enough for now. I need to be less critical on myself while learning pixel art.
👾 🖥👨‍🎓🎨👨‍🎨

I wonder if it’s worth to continue working on the pixel portrait.
👾🎨

Another approach for another day.
👾 🎨

I suppose every obscure famous person (fame is ephemeral) has a fansite. I just draw ‘em in pixels.
👾🎨

Not sure if this qualifies as a favicon. It’s 32 x 32 pixels.

And here’s my 24 x 24 pixel art IRL (6 cm x 6 cm, 4 mm² per pixel mosaic brick).
👾 🏠🎨

Here’s a concept of how a piece of pixel art could brighten up a boring bathroom door. The materials for creating said art have yet to arrive, and the door still needs a layer of paint. Well, one can dream of the result, can’t one?
👾 🏠🎨

Couldn’t find a 32 x 32 baseplate for pixel art with beads, but I did find a 24 x 24 baseplate. So I adjusted my design for the bathroom door.
