Not an artist at all, but I’m gonna try to learn how to do pixel art. I followed some basic tutorials today, got acquainted with Aseprite, then tried to copy something I found online. Predictably, I can copy lines but I struggle with colors. Day one

They say the guy had an ISIS flag but I don’t really believe it. Remember the time the news reported an ISIS flag but it turned out the “Arabic letters” were actually just dildos?
Screenshot: CNN Exclusive London JUST IN - ISIS Flag spotted at gay pride parade Newsroom A crowd of people wearing yellow shirts are gathered in a street, some of them are holding signs. A black flag with a white circle in the center hangs above them. The white circle appears to have black lettering on it but on closer inspection it’s clear that the shapes are silhouettes of dildos of various shapes and sizes.

A Complete Unknown is pretty good, standard biopic fare but with a few incredibly good scenes. But Ed Norton was fucking magic in that movie! Just incredible. He should at least get an Oscar nom
A smiling Edward Norton as Pete Seeger, playing a banjo. He’s wearing a brown suit with a paisley tie. He stands on the steps in front of a courthouse.

Front cover of the book Skullcrack City by Jeremy Robert Johnson “A nightmarish yet hilarious journey that begins in the ugly world of toxic mortgages and progresses to the slightly uglier world of brain-eating monsters lurking in dark alleys. You’re in for an entirely unpredictable ride, the tale spinning ludicrously out of control as the hero uncovers layer after grotesque layer of a vast macabre conspiracy. Skullcrack City is original, utterly insane, and a shitload of fun.” —David Wong, author of John Dies At The End “A dazzling writer.” —Chuck Palahniuk The cover art depicts an abstract image of a human skull with long, skeletal roots protruding from top and bottom, the roots at the top spread out into shapes like human hands. Behind the skull pale, moth like wings spread outward. Framing the image are four differently colored orbs of energy with swirling tendrils wrapping around in all directions. The orbs are pink, purple, blue, and yellow. On the skull’s forehead, a small orb resembling a black pearl rests with tendrils also protruding and reaching upward.

Front cover of the book American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis The cover art is a portrait of a man with slicked back brown hair, dark eyes, and a tan complexion. His expression is robotic. His features are moderately handsome but he is indistinct, someone who could blend in with a crowd easily.

I’ve been to this zoo a hundred times, not even being hyperbolic, and I almost never take pictures. These are pretty much all I have in my phone, currently
A pair of owls resting on a log perch turn look over their shoulders to face the camera. They are both brown with white spots. Their coloring is tinted by a pale blue light. An African giraffe eats from a large, blue feeding barrel suspended on a high post. A female Greater Kudu grazes on a patch of green grass. Some black vultures can be seen in the far distance. A breeding pair of lions lie in the morning sun, next to an artificial water feature that looks like a natural rock formation. The male lion has a large, brown mane, the female’s coat is a gradient of golden-blonde to white.
