Just finished the Amazing Digital Circus finale. It felt like a little digital hug honestly. Shits been a real roller coaster lately but tadc was a nice reminder of how much of a comfort art can be and reminds me that no matter what, I really want to create more of it.

Here's mine for today! I tried doing pixel art fur for the first time and think it ended up pretty good! #myart #pixelart

Another daily #pixelart warmup prompt w/ @theartofgaming.bsky.social! She picked a much more limited palette for my sake lmao and I decided to try going for a pattern detail today, as inspired by her past few warmups! I was watching freestyle dance battles last night, so... that's why this pose 😌✌🏾

An extremely pale man with hair and shoes of the same milky, low-contrast color strikes a pose on his tip topes with his arms outstretched. He wears blue wrap-around shades, grey low-rise ripped jean pants, and bares his exposed chest in an opened grey baggy top with an irregular green and red pattern. The art is outlined in a dark grey against a goldenrod background. In the bottom right corner is Coda Blue's signature and the date 04/26 (April 2026).

Here's my go at the prompt. For some reason I decided that even though the given canvas size was 48x48, that I would use like a third of it lol #myart #pixelart

A fat woman with orange skin, a metal plate on her head and mask over her nose and mouth. She's wearing a trenchcoat that is slightly open revealing flowers, just like the one she's holding in her hand

Sometimes I jump on call to harass @theartofgaming.bsky.social and call it coworking, but today we realized we both haven't touched pixel art in a while. So for fun we rolled a character prompt, picked the canvas size and color palette, and got to drawing! This was my shot at it. It was so fun!

A fat woman with reddish-orange skin, blue eye makeup, long lashes, pale orange eyes, and berry-colored hair styled in a very short crop. She holds her high-collared, floor-length, billowing yellow coat close to her chest over her midriff-cutout blue jumper. She stands firmly in heeled boots of the same blue hue. The art has a black outline.

Played some of my old games today. Turns out, they weren't the awful embarrassments I convinced myself they were. All had good bits and one of them I actually just *like*. So uh dig up those old games you're ashamed of and give em a play. You might be pleasantly surprised. #gamedev

Got told shaders were hard and scary forever. Went to a talk, made a list of ideas and just went for it. Now I have two mediocre shaders! And it was super fun! From now on, I'm just doing it anyway!
