For these large scale portraits specifically I draw with Clip Studio Paint, convert it messily with PixelOver, and then work in Pyxel Edit. In general, I just use Pyxel Edit for my everyday any pixel drawing need.
Some of my more recent art got axed from the rollback on crystals.rest, but I got a nice variety of size sprites for a person I have decided to called Melon!...
I had to rollback the server due to some kind of issues to 8-28. Besides my own post, I don’t think there was much missing. I just wanted to make sure you guys were aware.
yeah unfortunatly. there was a more recent backup, but it failed to take for some reason so I had to go back farther. :( (edit: I also lost my very popular pixel art image of the danger ahead lol)
you’re not going to fault me for buying a chicken burger are you?
There are TONS of people who will do that exact thing. what is or is not a sandwich or burger (is a burger a type of sandwich?) for some reason is a stupidly contentious topic that people feel passionate about.
People take labels and their individual expectations of that label pretty emotionally.
I’m just curious about this. As someone with a chronic illness, I pretty much never hear anyone talk about things related to the sorts of difficulties and discrimination I and others might face within society. I’m not aware of companies or governments doing anything special to bring awareness on the same scale of say, pride...
For those asking for something that needs help/awareness, chronic pain sufferers (and disabled, but speaking from chronic pain myself) pretty much always have diminished mental clarity due to being in pain or stressed all the time. We can be seen as lazy when we don’t have a job or have a hard time contributing, but I think people don’t realize that getting medical shit done in america is like a full time job. The amount of hoops you need to jump through, repeat appointments to get your doctor to actually listen to your concerns, dealing with administration of doctors, insurance, and government because THEY STILL COMMUNICATE THROUGH FAXES, and just being dead tired of being a broken human being. You have to shout and scream basically or you will be pushed to the wayside.
So basically, please be aware of invisible illnesses and have patience. We may have the physical capability to do a task on a good day, but shit can get so beaten down. Also medically insurance covered, like, managers/secretaries that help you navigate this bullshit would be great. A real job as a medical advocate for a person should exist.
There could also be more awareness spread against the stigma/stereotype of people coasting off disability. (Often it’s snuffed when it’s mental) It’s not really enough to live on, it can be taken away extremely easily, you have to resign yourself to poverty because if you can make some money you aren’t truly disabled. That and disability submission takes 6 months to process, in which most people are denied first just cause. so they then have to get a lawyer to appeal, which takes months+. It’s hard to get disability, and it gives you scraps.
no no that’s fine! I was wondering if it was that. I like having it being a matte material without shines, but if it’s causing confusion, I can try and fix this.
When I tried Mastodon, I found I couldn't get the content I'm interested in there. I'm not really interested in following specific people; instead I want to see posts that fit my interests, regardless of who made them. Hence (apparently very unpopular on the Fediverse), I actually want an algorithm that can create a personalized...
Hashtags exist for that purpose. You can follow them to be put into your home feed. As well, if you use the advanced web interface (like tweet deck), you can create a column with modifiers. Such as, I have a column that searches for both #pixelart and #lowpoly, but excludes posts with #NSFW or #Lewd, as well as #Pokemon (because I have a separate column for pokemon pixel artwork & lowpoly specifically)
I have heard misskey and calckey have a sort of trending feed, but not quite algorithmic, but unsure completely.

Different colors than I usually use, obviously to invoke a feeling (plus this is from like 2003, all we had were yellow light bulbs)....
