I suppose pixel art is best described as an art form where pixel placement matters most. Unlike digital natural medium art, in pixel art what you say and how you say it are the same.

Some simplistic pixel art animations I made in the past two days.

Finished reading: De Stam Van De Holenbeer by Jean Auel 📚 I enjoyed listening to this one; my eyes leaked, without being sick.

I’m not sure why it takes so long, but I guess that goes with the creative process; it’s not as straightforward as one would want.

Cat walk as 2-frames pixel art animation. Took me long enough.
👾 🖥👨‍🎨🎨

I suppose 3 frames is the minimum.

I picked one of the pencil sketches and turned it into pixel art, as practice.

Progress on my character design is slow, yet steady. 🎨

Character design doesn’t come in a flash with me. It always has been a slow process, rather discouraging imo. I guess I’m not a glutton for details, which is a big drawback for creativity. 🎨

Finished reading: Nederzettingen by Sanneke van Hassel 📚Niet mijn favoriet ☹️

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.
