Cover of Killtopia Comic Anthology, featuring a despairing man in a tech helmet.

The cover to Blister City
In the background in orange and pink tones sits a massive city, behind which orange mountains rise into a dusty orange sky
In the foreground 3 punks perch on the edge of a building, surrounded by litter and soda cans. The punk on the left wears a blue jacket that says die young on the back.

The text Blister City can be seen in the sky above the city.

Tofu @tofupixel.bsky.social · Nov 2

I never posted this here, but I made a pretty big write-up over on Tumblr for anyone interested in learning #pixelart!
It's a guide on software, fundamentals, jargon and resources.

Since links are legal on Bsky I can share it: www.tumblr.com/tofupixel/75...
#tutorial

Hope someone finds it useful!

A screenshot of a tumblr post reading:

"Title: So you want to learn pixel art?
Subtitle: Part 1 of ??? - The Basics!

Hello, my name is Tofu and I'm a professional pixel artist. I have been supporting myself with freelance pixel art since 2020, when I was let go from my job during the pandemic."

Two images comparing artistic improvement, the left is of a rudimentary tree, and the right is of a statue in a wall recess surrounded by plants and dappled light.

"My progress, from 2017 to 2024. IMO the only thing that really matters is time and effort, not some kind of natural talent for art.

This guide will not be comprehensive, as nobody should be expected to read allat. Instead I will lean heavily on my own experience, and share what worked for me, so take everything with a grain of salt. This is a guide, not a tutorial. Cheers!"

New pixel ٩(^ᗜ^ )و ´-
I already failed the challenge I had set myself because I didn't upload anything yesterday, but anyway, I'll try to upload characters regularly for the rest of the month. I hope to reach at least 15 or something like that (°~° )

If that impresses you, wait until Veadotube (not mini) is released.
They are doing some crazy things. Recently added compatibility with the Discord API to separate audio by user, which is very useful, and I haven't seen almost any other software that does that :0
