My favorite animal is the cat. They are cuddly and overall awesome. This image was made for my Pixoo64.

Heads are going to roll. No idea why.

Serving smoothies endlessly on my Pixoo-64 64 x 64 pixel art frame. Drawn in Procreate on an iPad.

I made a rough animation in the Animatic app on iPad and traced the frames into a pixel animation with Pixaki. It took much longer than I expected, but I'm pleased with the (very rough) result running on my Pixoo64 LED panel.

Here's the process video of the pixel portrait of Jean-Luc Picard.

I tweaked yesterday's still pixel art thoroughly, so I think it got more "readable." Next I did some simple animation, since that's preferred, apparently, in the Divoom community.

I repurposed a previous pixel drawing I did on 31 July 2023 for today's pixel drawing for the Divoom community. The little guy is supposed to represent a nasty germ. We'll see how it's received. I like it.

I used a reference from Adobe Stock images for my contribution to the March of Robots art challenge. Though I didn't design the robot, I did the color palette and animation.

If you assume you're right, you're probably aren't. This is the self-deprecating idea that sprouted from using the import filter of the Divoom pixel editor wrongly. I thought it needed more pixels to avoid blurring them, like web browsers. Not so, just import 92 frames or less of 64 x 64 pixels.

In this time of glorification of autocrats it seems somewhat uncool to post a selfie, since it tends to narcissism, one of the traits of an autocrat. Nevertheless, it was a fun exercise in panning around a main subject, even if it's me, represented in pixel art for the Pixoo64.
