  • I used a reference photo—downloaded a long time ago—of a tiger walking in the snow, and thought of animating it as such. It didn’t come to that, yet, because of lack knowledge of animal anatomy. The creation started in Pixquare, refinement in Procreate, and final touches in Divoom’s pixel editor.

  • Dreaming at the dinner table when I was a preteen. We didn’t talk much, so I had to use my imagination to fill the silence. Vroooom-vroooom! And oh, it was todays theme #forklift from @pixeldailies.bksy.social #PixelDailies

    A pixel art-style scene featuring a robot with a grabber arm, a plate, some steamed kale with sausage, and boiled potatoes.
  • I made a photo of a bunch of daffodils a few days ago, and made a 192 x 64 pixel drawing today, which I turned into an infinite panning frame of 64 x 64 pixels for my Pixoo64 Cloud LED display. I also entered it in the Bloom2025 competition of the Divoom community.

  • I made a pixel drawing of a #tiger refining it using this CC reference from Flickr. Thusly I didn’t mechanically copy the reference, and made my own version for @pixeldaily.bsky.social theme for 13 March 2025.

  • At least the robot 🤖 got the number right, otherwise putting candles on my humongous BD cake has become ridiculous, and a real chore. 🎂

  • For when I’m too busy making pixel art…

    A pixelated, abstract circular pattern with varying pastel colors on a light background.
  • Yesterday I failed at the day before’s prompt #CharacterGenerator of the Pixel Dailies daily challenge. The idea was a normally clad person stepping into the booth and coming out as another person wearing spectacular clothes. Alas, it will never be completed 😕

    A pixel art illustration shows two people ascending a tall block using ropes on a patterned surface.
  • I made an isometric cube rotate in 72 steps. After importing it into the Divoom app’s pixel editor, I found a limit for the number of frames in an animation (60 for 64x64 pixels). So I had to be creative with 36 frames. After reuploading to the Divoom app, I tweaked it to get it even more perfect.

  • A pixel art depiction of a smiling orange cat with its tail raised, set against a green circular background. That’s what the alt text says.

  • When I notice my peripheral vision, besides blurring, I can see distortion in the perspective. I tried to illustrate that effect in a pixel animation. Not sure it’s because of my bad vision, or if it’s more general for all seeing humans. It could also be my imagination playing tricks on me.

    A pixel art image features two sets of eyes with the phrase Changing Perspectives above and intricate patterns below.
  • I made this for yesterday’s prompt of Pixel Dailies: #scale. It’s based on my pixel font at original and 300 percent scale. Rotating a plane is some kind of scaling as well. Note that I’m in favor of human made pixel art, as opposed to a purely (and copyright-wise questionable) AI-based version.

  • I’m trying to make putting text onto my Pixoo64 much easier with (possibly) a pixel font. The matrix is 4 pixels wide and 6 pixels high, so there’s room for 10 lines of 16 characters (64 x 60 pixels in total) on the 64x64 pixels screen. I can has a scroll like in Star Wars 😂
