A pixel art illustration showing, from a fist-person perspective, a green hand hovering above a purple shiny orb, setting on a red cushion. The background is a dark dungeon room, where a set of stone stairs lead into a backlit archway, where the silhouetted green goblin stands with their arms to their sides and hands extending slightly forward. Pixelart illustration containing tiles and props from the top level of the tower in the game Torment Hexus. The scene shows a room made out of gold-trimmed black marble, flanked by a pair of statues depicting a man with wings for arms, perched on top of a globe. The statutes are each underlit by four small spotlights on the floor. At the center of the room, there is a hexagonal command station made out of golden colored metal, projecting a cylindrical display of six holographic screens, each with an assortment of indistinct symbols and information. To the north of it, there is a computer desk, made out of the same materials, and projecting a a flat display of four tiled screens. The central screen shows a world map, and the other sub-screens show small pieces of indistinct assorted information. A textmode pixel art scene of a dungeon, where a goblin sits beside a campfire. To its north is a small room containing a chest and a locked door, beyond which there is a stairway leading down. On the top left corner of the screen, a minimap shows the player's current location and some of the adjacent rules. On the top right, a gold counter indicates the player has 25 gold. A CRT filter is applied over the scene. Pixel art illustration for one of the panels of the intro sequence of upcoming game Huedini. The image shows a psychedelic multi-colored skull approaching three gems from screen center. The gems are red, green and blue. Tentacles and tendrils extend from the skull and wrap around the gems, pulling them into the skulls open maw.

Underground Tunnel North South, 2021 - #pokemon #pixelart
Made for @retroredrawn.bsky.social 's #KantoRedrawn project!
See more at: retroredrawn.com/kanto/
The stairs lead down to a dirty underground tunnel. The tiled floor is covered in used Pokemon items, and a Ratata is perched up high, looking for scraps. Going further into the tunnel, the neon lights are broken. Some Grimers are oozing out of the drains, and a Muk is waiting to drop on an unsuspecting victim. A Meowth chuckles at the unfortunate fate of those who travel through this tunnel. Closer to the exit, a Raticate and a Ratatat fight over a Candy. More trash litters the floor. The exit stairs in sight, we can see a used Escape rope and a used Substitute on the floor; perhaps the sign of a recent fight.

Pixel folks, you better take a look at this please
datagoblin.bsky.social vini @datagoblin.bsky.social · 5d
1. art w/ mixed resolutions, off-grid pixels, nonsensical diagonals
2. small variations of the exact same image
3. calling sprites "landscapes", senseless terms line "legacy-inspired dot art"
4. random chars used in the alt text (which i find PARTICULARLY evil)
5. about 270 posts every day (!!!)
Two different images posted by user "snow-kiss" about a month apart, claiming to be unique original pieces. They both show a seemingly pixel art rendition of a wizard in a robe and had, holding a cane and casting a spell. The sprites are remarkably similar, with only random variations made without a clear motivation. They also display pixels with mixed resolution, non-square pixels, off-grid pixels and diagonal lines that would be impossible at the suggested resolution. Beneath the images there are random characters added as supposed "alt text". Three separate posts by user "snow-pixe", showing very similar drawings of a pixel-art knight holding a sword in their right hand, and a round shield on their left. The knight dons full armor and has a red plume on their helmet, and all have the same pose in which they appear to be bracing for combat. The pictures differ mostly in color and resolution. Highlighted in the post's texts are the strange terms used to describe the pictures: "pixel landscape", "pixel scene", and "legacy-inspired dot drawing".

don't love doing this, but since people have asked and i got mutuals following them

snow-kiss is likely an AI-slop bot

they post cutesy pixel art w/ text like "let me know what you think", "a comment would make my day" but there's too many signs to ignore
