latest one is making pixel art.

wanted to get into the hobby, so for Christmas I am making my wife a picture of each of the vacations we've been on.

this is a work in progress of a church on a hill we saw in Iceland:

Also, smoking meat.

Has been so much fun to learn and has resulted in some of the best food we have ever had.

Also, setting up a retro emulator with an old phone.

Currently procuring ROMs, organizing them, and getting a good front end and emu cores configured.

Playing through pokemon ROM hacks has been fun.

Pixel art is an underappreciated form. I'm a sucker for good pixel art. Recently took a trip down memory lane (revisiting some PTSD) by rewatching the last mission from Metal Slug 3, and those NEO-GEO graphics were something else. The sprite work is incredible

I dig the pic, very pastoral, definitely catches some mood!

[–] applejacks@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

thank you!

one thing I did not expect was how much more difficult it is than "regular art."

and I still suck at it lmao

I like yours better, but I've also occasionally dabbled in pixel art. It's fun.

An attempted animation of a cool bridge in Sarajevo.

looks nice 😎

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Thanks! Yours is so much more refined and feels complete.

[–] applejacks@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

ha, well i have also been working on this for probably 10 hours in total.

it definitely takes effort.
