Hello, I'm Shylor.

I'm an entrepreneur, programmer, gamer, futurist, geek, and mentor. I enjoy building projects that help people build communities or figure out who they are.

I normally have too much on my plate, and I enjoy the challenge.

I wanted to make a character to white box in my game attempts. Meet Bob.

Bob enjoys long walks on the beach, appreciates a good shellfish buffet, and is deeply suspicious of seagulls. Don't ask. 🌊🦐🦅

Day 30 - 4 Colors

I was not so sure about this one. @riclor.bsky.social said they did one of their dog. So I decided to do one of my cat, Root. This was hard and I feel mixed. It was harder since she has mostly black fur.

Day 29 #cafe

When @riclor.bsky.social pitched this theme. I instantly knew what I wanted to do. I was worried I would not get the steam right, but I think I did well for 8 frames.

Day 28 Gumball Machine

Decided on a gumball machine today. Thought it would be a fun bright design with a lot of little pieces.

Day 27 Space

I decided to do a space ship. Was not really sure how to texture it, but I came up with some stuff after just goofing around.

Day 26 Sci-Fi

I've been wanting to try a robot. I did a 1 pixel center which means it does not line up perfect, but I'm realizing that's not a huge deal.

Day 25 Evil Corp

I'm not really excited about this one. I had ideas in my head, but I need more space. Meh, it's something.

Day 23 Goldfish

I kind of wanted to animate this one, but I didn't, cause I didn't want too. #lazy

I wanted to take it farther then just a goldfish.

Day 22 Duck

Not feeling so well, so tried to do something simple today. If it pixels like a duck then it must be a duck.

The support has been great. It's helped me to keep going. We're planning on getting more into #godot when our 30 days ends.

Day 21 Coin

Decided to do a coin that is animated today. I think I nailed it. Now the real question. Heads or Tails?

Day 20 House Plant

I decided to make my little house plant do a little dance. It's pretty fun to do some of the animation, but takes time.

Day 19 Dice

We made a dice today. I wanted to make it as perfect as I can since they are made with no imperfections.

Day 18 #horse (freestyle day)

I might have taken a lot of "inspiration" from two crowns. I learned a bit though so that's cool.

I want to animate this, but I don't have time today.

Day 17 Campfire (Animated)

So this is the first time I have tried to animate pixel art. I thought a campfire would need that. I think I did pretty good.

We're looking to build a community for fellow artists. griv.io/@artlzar

Day 16 Viking Axe

I tried to keep this one pretty simple today. I think it's important for me to learn how to make tools and items for games.

Day 15 #Tree

I wanted to more of a #zelda #nes tree, but I don't know how to do that yet. So I went with this. I also included more of my process here.

Day 14 Quarry

This might be the first temp asset to something @riclor.bsky.social and I are playing around with. Not sure if it will go anywhere.

I was not planning on keeping this low color, but I kind of did in the end. Check out our group. griv.io/@artzlar

Day 13 Pineapple

Now that I look at it on here. I could have put more shades on the left side. It's okay, not 100% happy with it, but it will have to do for today.

P.S. Now I want some pineapple. 🍍

Day 12 Cabin

Did something simple today. I wanted to get on to other stuff. Might have been forced by @riclor.bsky.social

Day 11: Wanted Poster

I thought I might add more details, but then I realized I was limited. Instead of making a larger canvas, I decided to run with it. I think it came out pretty good.

Day 10: Moon

I really like how I'm starting to learn how to do low-detail items. I'm also starting to understand more when a pixel is needed or not. I'm also trying to work on my color usage.

Day 9

Theme: Freestyle

I saw the world from @franekk.bsky.social and I had to try this. I loved it so much. I might have borrowed a few things.

Their post: bsky.app/profile/fran...

I think they did it better 🤣

Theme Mage Tower

I think I did pretty well here. It took a while to figure out the style.
