    My usual habit-forming failure: I have done this thing for 30 days, so now I can stop doing it, right? I get bored by the repetitiveness of doing something daily, and am dragging my feet to reach this stupid time-goal. Once it’s become routine, I quit, gladly.

    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 pieceβ€”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 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.

    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.

    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.
