a cat named Bean

#pixelart
pixel art of a cat named Bean. He is a black cat, and he is perched on the edge of a bathtub. his face is looking up, and his mouth is slightly open. his green eyes kind of look like he’s about to have the zoomies.

#pixelart #art #standup
Pixel art of Delilah Orizaba, a chicago stand up comedian, performing standup. She is smiling into the microphone, with her other arm up in the air, her pointer finger pointing upward. She is wearing a blue button up shirt, tied in the front to crop it a little bit, and an orange skirt, with tights on under it.

There is a shelf with books next to the cat. a light hangs from the ceiling shining light directly on the cat pixel art of a bodega cat sleeping in a cat bed on shelves full of merchandise two pixel art pictures of a kitten. they are wearing some sort of star shaped hood. in the first pic they’re just standing there, looking, and it’s almost like they’re smiling. the second pic, they tilted their head slightly, and stuck their tongue out low res pixel art of my cat, mickey! He is a grey cat with white chin, chest, and paws. he is standing elegantly on a yellow background

been messing around with some abstract stuff lately (i have no idea what i’m doing)

#art #procreate
abstract art. on a light blue, almost white, background, there are large deep green and deep blue streaks across the image. there are specks of white and red and blue all over the blue streaks and background. the shape of the large streaks perhaps resembles a fingerprint slightly abstract art. on a vividly red background, there is a blue shape painted in the middle, vaguely triangle shaped. it has large white shapes, almost shaped like individual flames, coming out of it. below the blue shape is a green shape, which is mostly obscured by a lighter blue streaks of paint that almost completely cover it

guys i swear i’m okay maybe i just felt like rendering silly fruit today okay

#pixelart #art
pixel art of some little fruit guys. there’s an apple sitting on the ground with a shocked face, looking at an orange on the other side. the orange has a wild look on their face, with a wide open mouth, shoving a banana person in their mouth. the banana person has wiggly arms raised in shock and has a fearful look on their face. all three of the fruits are labeled with their fruit name, but all are misspelled humorously (apple is a p l e, banana is b n a n a, and orange is o r n g e)

My debut music release is out!!

Stream Lunar Psychosis on all the major streaming services!!

daniorizaba.hearnow.com
The cover art for Lunar Psychosis. A red moon with an orange-ish atmosphere hangs in space. The background of space is a deep purple, with stars scattered across it. The moon is heavily glitched, with many horizontal lines going in and out of it, like a glitchy hologram. the text for the title of the song is glitched too, with many broken bits of it smeared across the whole image

lil jellyfish study with some extra ✨flair✨

i’m still working at pixel art resolutions but with some of these i’m straying further and further away from “pure” pixel art. one of these days ill fully make the leap to digital but it is not today lol

#digitalart #procreate #art
pixel-ish art of a jellyfish floating in the water. it is a bright pink jellyfish, with semi transparent tentacles and flowy stuff. it has a ring of red shapes near the top of its dome. in spots it’s glowing with a bright blue. the background has a depth-of-field effect and has nondescript blurred yellow-orange objects all in the distance

okay I didn’t think i’d finish this tonight buttttt

i pixel painted a flower arrangement by @flower_clown_ on insta! this one was so fun to do, and it came out so so well!

#pixelart #procreate #flowers
pixel art of a flower arrangement. in the center, featuring prominently, is a large round red flower. it’s surrounded by flowers of all colors and sizes, small white ones, light green ones, an orange one, many blue and white ones, a few yellow ones, and a handful of tiny pink ones. they all sit on a brown background with a repeating pattern on it. if you squint or shrink the image down it almost looks like a painting

#pixelart

here’s a clip from a song i worked on with a friend back when i did a semester in germany! if anybody is familiar with the band Muse, listen for the influence in the electric guitar. that band had a chokehold on me in high school and college and you can probably still hear it in my music today, some

this wasn’t my first pixel art, but it was my first one that i did for the sake of pixel art itself, for the sake of learning and making something visually fun, and it set me off on a journey i didn’t expect and don’t want to stop now!

#pixelart #24adventthings
pixel art of a minimoog synthesizer! it has lots of knobs and dials and switches, a piano keyboard, and it’s all in a wooden enclosure. the background is green with the moog logo repeated over and over again
