Would you hang out and watch some pixel art bike racing?

Do any of the 6 teams or 24 racers stand out to you?

I am hoping to launch my bike racing simulations again soon!

It was this time last year that I was wholly distracted from pressing project deadlines by making this ragtag troupe. Currently resisting the pull to add new recruites...
Illustrations of Medieval helmets resembling the faces of Muppets characters Gonzo, Kermit, Piggy, Animal, Fozzy, and Sam Eagle (as an Aztec, being truly American).

I’m actually quite sick now and I am going to miss a few pixel dailies. Can’t hold a mouse or stylus at the moment! 😅

I think that my Bionicles were possibly the best toy I owned as a child.

I haven't been able to find a paying project for months. Can you help? Every share is appreciated.

If I am committed to doing daily pixel art I am going to set some constraints:

1. Consistent 7 colour palette (maybe change it up periodically)
2. 32x32px canvas
3. Missing one day is fine, but try to not miss more than one

Here is another peek at my Cup of Cups project! I need to fix up another 15-20 riders so they are in their team colors, but getting closer to what I want this to look like.

A hooded and augmented man looks straight ahead. His face was ornate hoses coming from where his mouth should be. His eyes are replaced with lenses.

How do I tap into exact intersection of indie video game enjoyers and pro cycling enjoyers? Asking for science.

I am super excited to that I can start to introducing some of my racers soon! Here are a couple of race ready faces for now.
