Practicing pixel art animation.

Pixel art for today’s Pixel Dailies in April Fool’s Month. The theme was “pirate”.
👾 🏴‍☠️🖥👨‍🎨🎨

Pixel art 🚧 Grasping at straws for ideas on the 11th day of April Fool’s Month is bringing out the honking 🤡 stereotypes. Practicing for Pixel Dailies, later today.

Pixel art. Wow, this was rather complicated to make! Today’s Pixel Dailies theme was “puzzle.” I made a solvable jigsaw puzzle of Qbert
👾🖥👨‍🎨🎨

Pixel art 🚧 I suppose I drew a horse-drawn “mobile home,” aka gipsy caravan.
👾 🖥👨‍🎨🎨

Pixel art. Now I’ve included the description of the Pixel Dailies theme daily in every piece for some time, I suppose it’s time to develop my own (more readable) pixel font. I had an impromptu font, but it wasn’t all that good. This one is—or seems to be—a lot better.
👾 🖥👨‍🎨🎨

Pixel art for Pixel Dailies, theme “rainbow tree.” I never heard before of an Eucalyptus deglupta, aka rainbow tree.
👾 🖥👨‍🎨🎨

Pixel art 🚧 Today’s practice piece is probably again more elaborate than the actual Pixel Dailies piece. This one is based on Vicky the Viking.

Pixel art. There’s a lot to know 🙇‍♂️ about lines—curves in general—in this art form, as it is a basic component of drawing and drafting, and the separation the human vision system perceives between differently colored blocks. Smoothing is done selectively with anti-aliasing.
👾 🖥👨‍🎨🎨

Pixel art. Today’s Pixel Dailies theme was rather late (hence I had to rush it), and called “cute but deadly.” I opted for a cute knife with a curly pink heft.
👾 🥹🔪🖥👨‍🎨🎨

While waiting for the new Pixel Dailies theme, I explored the magic of bitmapped text, as applied to pixel art. I wrote in Adobe Fresco, posterized to 5 levels, then pixeled the letters pixel-by-pixel, with imagination. It hasn’t received anti-aliasing, which is tricky.
👾 🖥👨‍🎨🎨

Pixel art. I refined the previous drawing, and made it into a funny statement. It’s a non-serious 😉 Star Wars/Trek 🌌🖖 crossover. I find it curious how publishing makes me see any flaws I didn’t notice beforehand.
👾 🖥👨‍🎨🎨

Pixel art 🚧 So this is my practice piece for today, being the 8th day of April Fool’s Month. It’s called “Obi-Wan 💩🪐” It was a lot of running around, but I’m still pleased with it, in a funny way.
👾 🤪 🖥👨‍🎨🎨

Pixel art 👾🚧 On the 8th day of April Fool’s Month I chose Obi-Wan to be my only hope 🌌 It’s not finished, but the head is. I didn’t trace, which explains why it took 2.5 hours to draw it. It’s drawn in Pixaki, an iPad app.
👾 🖥👨‍🎨🎨

Pixel art. Today’s Pixel Dailies theme was “robes.” I know little of clothing, so this was an impossible challenge for me. Ah well.
👾 😅🖥👨‍🎨🎨

Pixel art 👾🚧 Intuitively, both Idefix and Apple’s quote seemed appropriate for the 7th day of April Fool’s Month. BTW, I’m still waiting for today’s Pixel Dailies theme.
👾 🖥👨‍🎨🎨

Pixel art. Today’s Pixel Dailies theme was “tower.” The restriction of exact dimensions didn’t feel restrictive, so I added animation in the 20x60 pixels frame.
👾 🖥👨‍🎨🎨

Pixel art WIP 👾 🚧 On the 6th day of April 🤡 Fool’s month, I’m sure the Pixel Dailies art prompt will be challenging and grand.
👾 🖥👨‍🎨🎨

Pixel art. Today’s theme of Pixel Dailies was “embankment.” I kept it simple.
👾

Pixel art 🚧 Continuing April Fool’s Dayish silliness. Not knowing what today’s PD theme will be is perhaps twice as fun as knowing.
