Scaling down often means (partially) redrawing a pixel art drawing.

Donkey Kong on C64 (VICE on Raspberry Pi OS) 🕹💻👾🦍🗝

My flatbed scanner isn’t functional anymore, so I had to scan with iOS. After importing the doodle as a reference, I drew this critter in Pixaki.

Had problems in Raspberry Pi OS entering special characters. I had to “Google” for them. No longer. GUCharMap to the rescue! 😍

Was interested in camera equipment for YouTube videos. My budget is < €150. The cheapest I could find via YouTube tutorials the Canon T7 (EOS 2000D) with kit lens for €570. Those aren’t beginner prices! Better for me to use an iPhone on a UBeesize tripod, €20. 📺

Great Scott, BTTF inspired pixel art, started on Linux GrafX2, completed on iPad Pixaki app. 160x144 px, 6 colors.

I made a 32x32 pixel image with GrafX2 on Linux, imported it via the Secure ShellFish app to my iPad, and refined it with the Pixaki app.

I still see people not wearing masks where they should. By this point I can’t call it ignorance anymore, but must see it as anti-social behavior. It’s about 15% of the population, the same amount that isn’t vaccinated as of yet. They might be the same defiant people. 🦠😷

I suppose this is how the sky presents itself in winter. Taken before sunrise, instant photo filter applied.

I can easily spend 2 hours researching a simple question and not finding any answers. Google search isn’t as good as it used to be—I suspect foul play through SEO 👨‍💻

Developing C64 programs with Kick Assembler, VICE and Visual Studio Code on my Raspberry PI 400 😱 It’s a hassle, yet doable. 👨‍💻

Ran for the first time this year, after a fortnight break. It wasn’t easy, despite it being “only” 4 km 😓 🏃

Tracing still feels like cheating. Pixel art.

I suppose understanding a face is half the (artistic) battle. Pixel art.

🤔 Good enough for now. I need to be less critical on myself while learning pixel art.
