Thomas (via techhub.social/@toemat) was super generous and sent me some of my favorite photos 3D printed with their converter tool! Not only that, they installed a really cool inner light to illuminate the pic.

A photo of four different Game Boy Camera photos 3D printed using the converter tool.

A close-up photo of the Game Boy Camera print depicting a forest walkway among some trees. You can easily see the layer lines of the 3D print of 4 separate colors.

.𖥔 ݁ ˖Balance ݁𖥔 . - GB Pixel Art Jam 2025 entry
Another year, another #GBPixelArtJam!
My entry this year is about the “balance” of the life of a #magicalgirl. I love anime, but I get stressed just thinking about saving the world and still having to go to school in the morning!

A 1-bit pixel art piece. The illustration is split in half; on the left is a magical girl in a dress casting a spell; on the right she is sleeping in class.

I decided to participate in the GB Pixel Art Jam! The theme was balance for this year and thought about a witch balancing on a broom.

(Don't know if I translated that well, tho, but I had fun with this 😌🧡)
