so my main hobby project for a while has been linklists. there's still tons to do on it but with it finally being launched i've been spending a bit more of my free time on other projects again and i've returned to doing pixel art :D this is of course in service of my desire to create video games, but i've found pixel art to be a very rewarding and enjoyable experience unto itself.

i haven't made anything new recently but here are a few things i've made while learning. they're rough but i'm kinda proud of them, especially since i've always considered myself someone with zero skill in visual art.

I don't normally do pixel art but here's something I did last year during an art challenge on another forum. You'd sign up for the challenge with samples of your art, then others would tell you what they notice of your style, and you'd draw something new while trying to avoid the style you normally do. Turned out alight, I think.

If someone notices it, yeah. So for instance, if someone did exclusively pixel art, someone would probably say so, and they'd be challenged to try something else.
