Pixel art

Pixel art. A modest cup of coffee.

Today’s Pixel Dailies theme was “smear frame.” I had no idea how to implement this, but I finally arrived at this solution for pixel art.
👾

Pixel art 🚧 This must be a videogame term, since I never heard of the term smear frame.

Today’s Pixel Dailies prompt was “flyer.” I had to fold an actual airplane out of paper to be able to make the animation.

Pixel art for Pixel Dailies for the prompt “Red Panda.” This was, again, a lot a lot of work and fiddling, yet rewarding in the end.
👾 🖥👨‍🎨🎨

Pixel art 🚧 Today’s PD prompt is Red Panda. I finished the border and background in roughly four hours, and I still haven’t done the actual panda(s). It wouldn’t surprise me if I needed at least a similar amount of time to finish this piece—much too long for a daily prompt.

I shrunk down a pixel art piece I did earlier today (lunchbox) from 160 x 144 to 32 x32 oixels, to its bare essentials, I hope.

Pixel art for Pixel Dailies, with the prompt “lunch box.” It’s like it takes me longer every time to make one of these. Some of these are more popular than others on Twitter, but that might just be the algorithm trying to lure me into spending more time on Twitter.

Pixel art 🚧 I only hope spending two hours on the frame, not the content, was time spent well, probably not.
👾 😂 🖥👨‍🎨🎨

Pixel art. Get set, ready, go-o-o! Just for fun.
👾 😄 🖥👨‍🎨🎨

Pixel art for Pixel Dailies, prompt “Rusty.” My take was the good Dalek from the Peter Capaldi era (Doctor Who).
👾 🖥👨‍🎨🎨

Pixel art 🚧 I want this to be a more elaborate piece, so I’ll be taking my sweet time. The rectangles are for designing two characters interacting semi-hostile. The brunt of the art will be in setting the mood with props and background.

Today’s Pixel Dailies pixel art prompt was “treasure map."
👾 🏴‍☠Arrr!! 🖥👨‍🎨🎨

Pixel art. 1-bit battle cry.
👾 ⚔️😂🖥👨‍🎨🎨

Pixel art. I asked myself, am I good enough to demo my pixel art making on Twitch, despite most artists using a Mac or Windows? To test, I video screenshot my creation of a sprite in Pixaki on iPad, sped up the video 10 times. I guess not yet, too slow.

Pixel art texturing a pineapple.

Today’s pixel art for Pixel Dailies has the prompt “avery.” Sometimes the literal interpretation is the only I can come up with.
👾 🖥👨‍🎨🎨

In pixel art, so I’m lectured, the artist has control over single pixels. To test this statement, I created a pixel portrait of Fred Astaire from a black and white photo reference. I guess it’s a work in progress.
👾 🖥👨‍🎨🎨

Pixel art for the Pixel Dailies prompt “gold.” I’m working in advance, since the PD account tweeter is on UK time, close to my local CET time zone.
👾 🖥👨‍🎨🎨

Pixel art for today’s Pixel Dailies required a rough sketch before pixeling. The prompt was garland, which is distinct from wreath and laurel, so you know (well, I didn’t beforehand).
