#Autumn leaf for #pixel_dailies

#pixelart #art

Pixel art drawing of a maple tree leaf with shades of yellow, orange and red, on top of a muted green background. The leaf is casting a turquoise shadow. Below the leaf, there is a large stylised 'L' letter, the author's signature.

A pixel art portrait illustration of a woman with red crystals growing on the right side of her face. She seems slightly annoyed, and has her eye near the crystals closed.

A chibi pixel art illustration with simple shading of a girl kneeling down, cradling a glowing and floating crystal. She has long unkempt blonde hair and has a gem of her own on her chest.

A collection of 25 pixel art icons or items. There's foods, plants, books, coins, creatures, and stars.

I must say I've been kinda inactive recently as well, so that's probably part of the issue loll

Maybe try a different feed if yours doesn't satisfy you! That's one of the biggest features in Bluesky

Hey #PortfolioDay! 💖 I'm Laquin, a hobbyist pixel artist and full-time goober <:

Pixel art interpretation of MF DOOM's 'Operation: DOOMSDAY' album's cover art, embedded in a CD shape.

Pixel art drawing of a cake using vibrant colors, over a light blue background. The cake has an upside down ice cream cone on top, with a dripping vanilla ice cream ball on the tip. The glazing is a dark blue with turquoise areas, dripping onto the base. The tip of the cake cut has a red spheric fruit. The dough is green with some 1x1 and 2x2 dark squares as texture, and a light red filling in the middle. There is a little rolled wafer leaning against the cake.

Digital illustration of a bunch of 4 bananas. They are half ripe, showing a yellow center and a green tip.

Colourful pixel art drawing of the Taj Mahal. The building is depicted with yellow tones. The sky shows a gradient from a quite saturated purple on the top to a less saturated cyan in the middle to a very mute red just above the horizon. On the foreground, in front of the mausoleum, there's a water pond reflecting it. To the sides of the pond, there's some grass with high bush-like trees.

Also i like your interpretation. I'm used to seeing Sisyphus move the rock through a smooth path, not such a rocky environment as this one. Makes it feel more real, and also, he's making a much greater effort than implied elsewhere.

angry at my feed for not having shown this to me!! 😾

like, I went from this to this!! crazy stuff, honestly

Pixel art image. A naked man (although a convenient leaf blocks the obscene parts) is sitting on a ledge that opens up to the dawning sea. His right leg is sliced, his left leg transforms into a spring of flesh that goes beyond the horizon, and his right arm is melting. His head is on fire and his left arm is holding on to a courtain-like fabric that hangs from the ceiling and spins in the air. His face remains calm. At the back, there are five meteors falling from the sky. [Much better than the shitty cloud]

Pixel art of Sisyphus, arms up, trying to roll a big boulder up a rocky hill. There are greek patterns at the top and bottom of the image.

But if AI sloppers not asking artists for use permission kills the Art industry, that's completely OK.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

The face was hard to make and doesn't look super good, but neither super bad, so I'm cool with that.

Anyways, I don't regret having participated but I probably won't pixel another cover. :(

Laquin @laquinart.com · 14d

'Operation:' was of course impossible to make readable. I was also struggling to make it not look out of place, and a friend helped me a lot figure out how to make the outlines so as to get this final result.

Laquin @laquinart.com · 14d

DOOMSDAY ended up looking great I would say! Probably what I'm the proudest about from this drawing.
The logo doesn't look too good. Especially if you zoom in, it looks like random noise. xD But I think the 'vibes' of it are still there, if that makes sense.

Laquin @laquinart.com · 14d

I then remade them with a normal approach and I honestly think they can't really get much better than they are... Look, those letters have a lot of details and are really small. There's only so much detail one can achieve to include in a canvas this small.

Laquin @laquinart.com · 14d

The letters were particularly hard to make readable. Again, I first drew both 'DOOMSDAY' and MF DOOM's logo with the grid method, and the result was HORRENDOUS.
