About the Lizard Wizard I posted awhile ago: my design process was to sketch and iterate on paper first, then do the lineart, scan and make the pixelart. This approach allows me to better feel the line flow and easily discard elements that don't fit. #pixelart #ドット絵 ImageImageImage
The design started out as a simple pun (lizard wizard), but I tried to put as many slithering elements in the design. The ouroboros goldpiece on the hat, the chameleon-like look, the bright membrane of maned lizards and the fire from salamanders were all implemented in the art.
The colors were picked on the fly, taking care on the hues to make it optimized and striking. This brings unity to the piece and I felt that the AA & contrast were appropriate. I am proud of the final piece!
A tip for this pixelart approach is to outline the drawing with a strong color so that the clan up phase is as easy as possible. I used a common ball pen to ink the sketch but I had to simulate line weight to get a good scanning result.

Eu sabia que algum dia esse argumento afloraria e eu vou dizer o porquê isso está errado, segue o fio 🧵
Primeiramente temos que conversar sobre cores. Antigamente, os seres humanos já realizavam obras de arte, como esculturas, monumentos e estátuas, isso não é difícil de imaginar. Pinturas rupestres em Lascaux e os kokopelli na América do Norte, para citar alguns exemplos. +
Apesar de serem feitos em lugares completamente diferentes, o que os dois têm em comum? A pigmentação. que é sempre em tons marrom-avermelhado. E isso não é por acaso. +

Thank you so much for the overwhelmingly positive reception of my latest piece, #Ganyu. Since everyone enjoyed it a lot, I'll talk about the creative process that went into the piece. #pixelart #ドット絵
Originally I made this on paper, with a common ball pen. My old followers know that this is usually how I start a piece - I like to sketch it first to get a fuller idea of what I want to do. I started it in February 5th.
Here I scanned and converted the lineart into binary, and started playing with colors. I have a basic palette I use for all my pieces. It helps me set the tone as I clean the lines. I edit these colors as I work on the piece, fine-tuning as I see fit.

Good afternoon! Today I will talk about something that I mentioned with my friends and thought it would be a great artistic subject: "Anime Mouths and Gestalt Principles and Pixelart Applications". Let's go!
If you are a fan of anime style artwork, you might've come across this style of mouth. It is strange at first because it is a broken line, and yet it is readable as a single entity. What happens here? This is Gestalt being employed.
Gestalt (read ɡəˈʃtalt) is a German branch of psychology that affirms we perceive things as a whole, not the individual parts. This hollistic approach allows us to see seemingly different things, detect a pattern and interpret them as a whole.

#octobit day 15: #recipe #finished, from #octobit2020. #mewtsukki makes #brigadeiro! #pixelart #ドット絵
PS: This is the only recipe she knows... (Repost to fix)
I've made a small correction (forgot to add the step numbers). I'll use this opportunity to talk about this sweet!
Brigadeiro is literally "brigadier", a military rank. It is so named after the title of the candidate for presidency at that time, Eduardo Gomes, who was going to succeed Getúlio Vargas's rule in 1954.

Finally they have enforced quarantine in my city. Use this extra time to do things you have neglected so far, like cleaning your keyboard! Image
Before you start cleaning your keyboard, take a picture of it. Thus way you will know where to fit each key when you reassemble it! ⌨️
As you can see, these q-tips are completely dirty, and all I did was to rub them on the lanes between the keys. You don't notice it, but your skin cells and hair falls into it, building a crust. I have put a little dish soap in the water to help remove it. Image
