#pixelart, #lowpoly, and #textmode #commissions will be temporarily closing on Jan 23rd, as I will be focusing too much on college for the rest of the term to work on art.

Simple YCHs & emojis will remain open, but now is a good time to comm me before it's too late!

Repurposing the #security theme for a PSA:

The Pixel Dailies Discord Server got wiped this week after an admin account was compromised by malware. That's years of history of this community, vanished. Be careful, folks!

Artists, quick tip!

I keep forgetting to add alt text to my art, but I just found out you can actually make it a requirement in settings! 🎨✨

Go to:
🔸Settings → Accessibility → Require alt text before posting.

Hey @bradwright.bsky.social, would it be reasonable to assume that the Furlings look like Sasquatch? I know when SG dabbles in folklore, that it tends to work out well, and Bigfoot is a far, FAR better idea than Ewoks.

(Hell, I'd laugh if new SG took notes from Planet of the Apes)

You can make your own edits now, thanks to TSR approving the sheet!

I want you all to go wild with the #snes #pixelart memes you make with it!

So, I got driven a little crazy while looking at the flaws of the image, and went into BSNES to rip the assets. Everything now looks right, because I ripped the font, the BG, AND the fire separately.

Only downside? I don't get to see the flames be wavy.

So, I finally bothered to actually play The Firemen, and man, I forgot how bad you all in the 90s had it with firing the same direction you are moving in. Gives me more appreciation for the twin-stick shooter genre

And here it is, finished. If you couldn't guess before, this is Max Headroom! NGL, messing with the FOV in the web viewer really sells it

And now, for a little gift

Now is a great reminder for all of you that I am #ForHire for any art you want! I have some #commissions listed on the ol' BMAC page, but as you can tell from my previous posts, I can do far more!

Honestly, your only hope is to make larger upscaled exports, but the site may also downscale the gif too fyi. BSky's compression is a bane for all of us pixel artists lol
Have anyone find a way to post gifs to bluesky without it compressing the hell out of them? Looking for an advice

Decided to dust off my HTML skills a bit on one of my OCs for fun, found a neat wiki template, and started personalizing it. Unfortunately, I forgot that Toyhouse doesn't support certain HTML elements, so the fake search bar I included in the code for the sake of realism is not included

So, this is fun, I was considering returning to KoFi earlier, but as it turns out, they won't even enforce against AI generated content unless it is breaking some other rule.

UNFORTUNATELY, they don't count lying to clients about the human authenticity of their work as an offense.

That pot pie you nuke in Half Life 1 belongs to Dr Magnusson, who you meet in HL2 EP2
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago

so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

So, I got a Stargate building brick set for Christmas, but it appears the manufacturer did not care to do a test build, because this thing keeps on exploding on me every time I try to build this ring.

This is still by far one of my best pieces when it comes to lighting and reflection, despite it being from 2023
