Day25 - One Again another @pixeldailies.bsky.social the prompt today was "Shop"
A cosy shelter to get away from the overcast skies in this cute little Konbini. All on a 32x32 canvas

Also it definitely goes without saying I've deviated from the daily aspect of my self imposed "30 day pixel art challenge... thing" (official name)
But the great thing about it being self imposed is that I can change the rules!
Plus life is HECTIC! I find time to create when I can :D
Day 24 - Another @pixeldailies.bsky.social for today! Today's prompt is getting us into the spooky spirit with "Horror"...
For some reason I wanted to do a movie poster so here is my attempt at the poster for "Halloween" (I've never seen it)
#PixelArt #PixelArtist #Pixel_Dailies #Halloween
Day 23 - Saw the prompt 'Poison' for the @pixeldailies.bsky.social today and instantly thought of my sweet baby boy Paldean Wooper!
#PixelArt #PixelArtist #Pixel_Dailies #Wooper
Day 22 - Using everything I learned from before I made a second space piece. It's pretty much the same in practice but the 'Berry Nebula' colour pallet has made this thing POP.
I am in love!
#PixelArt #PixelArtist
Thank you so much! Can't take full credit for this one tho as it was a tutorial type video 😅
Day 21 - Been playing a lot of No Man's Sky while ill and have been craving some space pixel art. So here is my first space piece!
Once again following the Bob Ross of pixel art 'PixelRocket'... I absolutely love how this has turned out and might try one from scratch next.

Day 20 - This may be a bit cheaty, but I recreated one of my previous landscape pieces but at a much smaller resolution. I actually love how it turned out and might do a few more of these?
Inspired by a post from 'Salamiinbits' I saw on Insta a while back.

Day 19 - Potentially have got covid, but wont let that stop me!
I went back to doing some landscapes, I tried doing this one without any references. It was meant to be Mt Fuji, but just kinda looks like a mountain with a crappy sunset gradient behind it.
#PixelArt #PixelArtist
Day 18 - Still a bit ill today so wanted to bash out something quick cause staring at a screen HURTS. The @pixeldailies.bsky.social for today was 'Tablet'.
So here's a VERY quick Sheikah Slate (Tablet)...
#PixelArt #PixelArtist #Pixel_Dailies
Day 16 & 17 - Trying to do just one more Demon Slayer sprite. This is the snake hashira Iguro...
I have been ill these past couple days and I can unfortunately tell it shows in my art. Trying to translate his layered hair, stripey Haori and snake were really hard.
Here's to getting better soon!
Hahaha yeah his hair was something I was dreading when committing to this resolution but I'm super happy with how it turned out.
I appreciate the compliment!!
I think the whole trial and error process is such a key reason why I love pixel art over traditional art. There's only so much rubbing out pencil I can do!!
Thank you so much again! I appreciate the advice. Happy for any feedback and criticism to help me improve more :D
Thank you so much!
So in some pieces I should cluster up those standalone pixels where I can to make it seem less noisy?
I will try and be aware of these as I go! I will admit on this piece for example those buttons stand out quite a bit, I imagine that is due to this 'Orphan Pixel' logic?
Day 15 - I'm still in the Demon Slayer mindset and just needed to do something on Rengoku. I attempted to study the Chrono Trigger style but this looks a lot more Pokémon-esque...
I'm still very happy with it either way!!
#PixelArt #PixelArtist #Rengoku #DemonSlayer
Day 14 - Wanted to play with the Gameboy pallet a little, as well as try to stick to the Pokémon tile size. The @pixeldailies.bsky.social prompt for today was 'Screen' and it all fits into this little 32x32 area.
This was also my quickest made piece yet!
#PixelArt #PixelArtist #Pixel_Dailies
Day 13 - I have just seen the new demon slayer movie and absolutely loved it. So I thought its about time I learn to make characters a bit better. So who better to do then my fave demon AKAZA!
Still have things I need to improve on but I LOVE IT!
#PixelArt #PixelArtist #DemonSlayer #Akaza
Day 12 - Again needed a quick one so once again did the @pixeldailies.bsky.social ... The prompt for today was 'Pecan', so here's a little slice of pecan pie. I actually really enjoyed making this one!
#PixelArt #PixelArtist #Pixel_Dailies #Pecan
Day 10 & 11 - Okay... I was doing a more in depth study of the isometric art style and this took a lot longer than I want to admit and I kept making mistakes.
BUT... I do enjoy isometric a lot and would like to revisit this piece in the future to finish it off a little.
#PixelArt #PixelArtist
Day 9 - Had no clue what to do today so did my first @pixeldailies.bsky.social ... Completely stepped out my comfort zone for this one. The prompt was 'Stage', so here's that one SpongeBob episode!
#PixelArt #PixelArtist #Pixel_Dailies
Day 8 - I wanted to try my hand at some isometric pixel art. It may be a little 'cheaty' using Minecraft as a reference for this. But I feel like its a great place to start to learn the fundamentals!
Plus look at that mushroom!
#PixelArt #PixelArtist
Day 7 - I have just recently watched Brandon James Greer's "Creating Pixel Art from an Object" video and wanted to give it a go.
So here is me trying to "pixelify" a GameBoy, using the buttons as a focus point for size referencing.
#PixelArt #PixelArtist
Day 6 - Continuing on from yesterdays piece I wanted to use what I learned and do one without following a tutorial. If you couldn't tell I very clearly used a reference from Firewatch and I used the Rust Gold 8 colour palette!
I really like this one!
#PixelArt #PixelArtist
Day 5 - Completely switching it up today. Decided to tackle landscapes but didn't know where to start so followed a beautiful tutorial by Pixel Rocket on YouTube as a reference. Sounded like pixel art Bob Ross!
(Also yes I did forget to post this yesterday)
#PixelArt #PixelArtist
Day 4 - Again not much time to spend on this today BUT I am quite happy with this!
I stepped away from the Megaman templates and just decided to work from scratch. So here's a little Finn the human using the Resurrect-64 palette.
#PixelArt #PixelArtist
DAY 3 - Not much time to spend on this today so made some Frieren characters using Brandon James Greer's character template as reference.
Really struggled with only using three colours on Frieren, my come back to her later on!
#PixelArt #PixelArtist
Thank you! Determination is definitely the hard part but at the moment I wanna keep it up!
Day 2 I decided I wanted to try and improve on what I already had. So played around with some pixels for mega man Jinx then quickly got annoyed at the limited browns in the NES palette so started using my own colours.
Even tried with just 3 colours!
#pixelart #pixelartist
DAY 1 of my self imposed 30 day pixel art challenge to teach my self pixel art... Followed Brandon James Greer's "How do you start pixel art?" video and made mega man Arcane characters only using the NES palette!
It's not amazing, but it's a start :D
