Lifetime memberships seem to be the current rage, Wordpress hosting, watching Nebula, and probably many more. I think it appeals to those who hate the surreptitiousness of recurring subscriptions, and to those who despise venture capitalism’s firm hold on company strategy.

I just donated the money I saved today by carpooling to @thatkruegergirl Remember, the human capacity for compassion is infinite, despite what others say.

SepPixel for September 1, 2023, theme: “Abstract."

Why, as I grow more mature as an artist, am I still shooting for what I can’t possibly reach with my art skills? Anyway, I’m prepping myself for another 30 days of pixel art.

Did you know the art of the original Mac was inspired by Matisse, not Picasso? Both are conceptual, abstract artists.
👾

Pixel art for Pixel Dailies, theme: “Transporter”, for August 30, 2023 (so, with a day delay). I got all VW Transporters in my image search, so I opted for a vehicle in extreme perspective. Game Boy format (160 x 144 pixels, 4 colors). Drawing time ± 1 hour.

Tomorrow starts “SepPixel.”

It’s September  0 negative one, and I hope to join the Micro∙blog September 2023 challenge tomorrowthe day after tomorrow, not with photography, but with pixel art 🙃

I call it “SepPixel.” Let’s see how this one goes…
👾

Yesterday’s theme on Pixels Dailies was: “Reaction Image.” I did a quick image search to get an idea and then drew from imagination a WTF face. Pixel art 32 x 32 pixels, 4 colors on an 160 x 144 Game Boy canvas. Drawing time: 1u26m. Not posted on Pixel Dailies.
👾

Pixel art. I made a Game Boy compatible base image (160 x 144 pixels, 4 colors), though with a different color palette (called “Candypop”). I can now easily add the theme and change the date. Though, the date is today 😬 That’s global timezones for you. I’m happy with it ☺️ … Time: 2u22m, oops 😅
👾

Pixel art at Game Boy resolution (160 x 144, 4 colors), using a different color palette (candy pop). This is me leaning out from art challenges a bit, not going into details too much. Still, drawing time was 2u25m. Not posted on Pixel Dailies.
👾

For r/SketchDaily. The final pixel art drawing for this streak of 30 days, illustrating the concept of evolution. As always, I reached for the sky, but got a slight hop out of it in reality. Pixel art for Game Boy Advance (240 x 160, 32 colors).
👾

Taking breaks is important, especially on days you’d rather spend in bed than making pixel art for the last day (for now) on r/SketchDaily.
👾

Yesterday I did another long run, 26 km with 20 km at marathon tempo. This doesn’t sound all too impressive, until you consider what came before (32 km a week before, 23 km 4 days before). See my training session on Strava. It felt like a race.

For r/SketchDaily. Off-topic: “News headline.” I obviously misread today’s theme, which is: “Not the onion” (alt theme: onion), and pick a weird headline to illustrate. Nah, I stuck with positivity instead. There’s enough downbeat “news” around. India reached the Moon–unlike Russia–in one piece 👏
👾

I updated my Reddit avatar (was alt theme on August 23, 2023). It’s 144 x144 pixels, 8 colors, which would fit easily on a Game Boy Advance screen. It illustrates my username, Rasheedity. It’s a mashup between the default Reddit alien and a pony I drew earlier this week.
