@thecanine@twtxt.net And yes strangely it still looks like.a canine 😂
I’m soo amazed at your pixel art 🙇♂️
@prologic@twtxt.net Thank you. At this size it still does, but I think this is the limit. The one pixel bigger canvas version still works better for the pixel war sites and I think that making an even smaller version won’t be possible this time. 😅
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks! It’s been an interesting experiment, moving things around and seeing what parts could still be reduced to shave off pixels. Sadly all of those signs now point to this being as small as it can get, unless there is a completely different way to draw the head and legs, without ruining it.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I wonder too. The idea started shortly after the previous one, with jan6 suggesting his way of reducing the size:
Doing so, he proved that a smaller version is possible, but while I liked it, I wanted to make the changes elsewhere. Mostly because shortening the legs always leads to people calling me a corgi.
Than there were two or so days, when I spent some time playing around with it, but only came up with bad looking results.
Yesterday I was once again trying to break my art block by drawing something big, though that led nowhere, so I returned to the smallening project, while I still had the app opened. That’s when it finally came together somehow - in part thanks to getting rid of the collar.
@thecanine@twtxt.net I reckon you could made his midline a bit skinnier and turn him into a thinner poodle looking dog 🤔
@thecanine@twtxt.net I feel ya, I sometimes play with pixels too and ends up taking half a day to decide if that pixel should be green or blue 🤔.
I also think your profile pic might fit nicely in a pixel art game somehow.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org No problem, I’m happy people enjoy the result as well as talking about the process.
Saying a few days might have been a bit misleading, as it was not entire days, but just some time during those days, usually alongside watching YouTube or listening to music.
@justamoment@twtxt.net Yeah, that’s one of the many “joys” of making pixelart.
The previous (9 x 9) version of my profile picture was actually made primarily to be used on the canvases of the pixelart games played at https://rplace.tk , https://plaxe.chetbox.com and similar sites.
This one was made to see how small can I get, but it already found its place on two of these sites, one is even in a space so tight, the one pixel longer version wouldn’t fit there.
@thecanine@twtxt.net Oh nice! You took a ride there!
