is there any way to avoid bsky mangling (pixel) art with lossy compression? it's pretty annoying that even if the input is smaller, it lossily recompresses it (i uploaded a crisp 19kb png and it turned it into a 54kb webp, adding plenty of compression artifacts in the process 🫠)

i haven't been wowed by a piece this much in a while. the color use, the detail, the composition, the feel... everything about it is incredible

Skol al louarn (WIP), my gift for trigonomicon, for this year pixeljoint's secret santa. #pixelart #db32

Huge pixel art illustration of an overgrown, clunky mech in a forest, illuminated by bright and colourfull light rays that comes from the sky. A crow is standing on the boxy head of the mech, which is also bursting with a white flower bush. An old korrigan (Britton elf?), who is roughly the size of the crow, is chilling on the shoulder of the mech. in the cockpit, three little korrigans are playing. On the ground, from right to left : 2 little korrigans are drawing children drawing on the mech, standing on the root of the tree the robot is resting on. One is sleeping in the driver helmet, while 2 others are scheming to wake them up using big nails as hammers on the helmet. A lil korrigan with a big net is trying to catch a lullaby. Two korrigans are offering a group of snails a safe travel amongst the mayhem. One is looking at small mushrooms on a root covered by moss. Another is trying to pull a red small mushroom from the ground. Under the robot, two korrigans are trying to pull what appears to be a radioactive battery out of a small pond of water.
Two korrigans are using one of the doors of the cockpit as a swing. One of them is looking slightly up, seemingly surprised. One is hopping out of the canon of the mech, looking into the same direction. Another one is playing with rocks along the river, also looking surprised. On the tree, a small dragon that mostly looks like a lizard with wings and a long neck is climbing. A korrigan is climbing after it, trying to catch it. And the last korrigan is sitting on one of the roots of the tree, looking at the dragon too.
In the distance, in a hole on the tree, a grumpy owl is looking at the spectacle.

a pixel art picture of two people kissing. one has pale skin, white hair, and green lipstick, and the other has brown skin, blue hair, and purple lipstick. you can't see the eyes of the pale-skinned person, but the brown-skinned person has eyes that are the color of a sunset (which is to say, yellow/pink/orange/blue), with slit-pupils (she's a catgirl. or catboy. or cat-enby. there's not much gender presentation here). the brown-skinned person has fangs slightly visible. there's a lot of highlights on the lips/tongue and saliva.

a good friend who is having some ✨identity thoughts✨ asked me to draw a picture of them as a sexy foxgirl #pixelart #ドット絵 #art #foxgirl #western #cowgirl

i notice my art is kind of creeping up in resolution. perhaps becoming less pixelart and more 'art that happens to be drawn pixel by pixel'. hmm.

this started as the orc girl from my other drawing wrestling a girl. then i thought it looked pretty suggestive and leaned in to that. then i redrew the chars, and i'm not sure it's even the same orc girl anymore (she's pretty off-model if it is) #pixelart #ドット絵 #art #orc #yuri #sex #nsfw #nsfwart

what did you do to make her so upset at you? #pixelart #ドット絵 #art #goth #feet

a pixel art drawing of a girl. she has purple hair and black eyes (irises, not sclera, they're just dark). she's scowling, and looking down at you like you're beneath her. she's wearing all black. she has a choker on, a torn tank-top crop top, arm warmers, a miniskirt, and stirrup thigh-highs. she's sitting on some kind of ledge or surface, with her legs crossed. her panties (also black) are slightly visible from where the camera is positioned. it's a very foot-forward drawing. her toenails are painted purple, as are her fingernails (although only one finger is visible that way).

Genuinely, this concern about AI is one of the reasons why I think having friction in video games is good and why it's increasingly important to have games that simply exist instead of catering to our expectations. Reposting this message from Kojima about "pre-digested" art:

And he said, "If everyone likes it, it means it's mainstream. It means it's conventional. It means it's already pre-digested for people to like it. And I don't want that. I want people to end up liking things they didn't like when they first encountered it, because that's where you really end up loving something."

“The Al is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you”

she's happy you're willing to tie her up the way she wants #pixelart #ドット絵 #art #bondage #shibari #bdsm #nsfw #nsfwart #nudity #lewd #bdsmart #feet

time for maintenance 🔧 #pixelart #ドット絵 #art #robotgirl #gynoid #android #nsfw #nsfwart #nudity

pseudo-sequel (or perhaps pseudo-prequel) to the last time i drew a tied up girl? she certainly looks a bit less confident in this picture (even though it's still definitely consensual), so prequel probably makes more sense. #pixelart #ドット絵 #art #bondage #shibari #bdsm #nsfw #nsfwart

someone mentioned 'muscular orc girl in a cute dress' in discord and i had to draw this #pixelart #ドット絵 #art #orc

Give it up for KC Green @kcg.bsky.social the man behind 'this is fine', who just made an AI company take down his work. techcrunch.com/2026/05/31/t...

a dog in two frame with a tiny hat sitting in a room, surrounded by flames as he says "this is fine".

Famous illustration turned meme by KC Green

Y'all. Please remember the artists that drew these things when sending around memes. I feel for these artists who NEVER get credited for these (and some, nowadays, are even being accused of being AI!) Here's a few common ones I see (feel free to add others, I want this to be a living thread): 🧵

Suzanne ✨🌑@tendermiasma.com · 2mo ago

drawing something for pride month that involves rainbow colors and im havin to turn off the part of my brain that worries about using too many colors in a pixel art piece lol...

If you have nsfw set to "hide" I implore you to set it to "warn". You still won't see anything except for a blurred post Otherwise once they roll out account-wide adult content labeling a whole lot of people including me are going to disappear from your timelines, even our sfw text posts

guess her favorite color 🤔 #pixelart #ドット絵 #art #DigitalArt #nsfw #nsfwart

finally managed to work up the motivation to finish something, so i give you: yet another catgirl (actually it's the same catgirl i've drawn a few times now. after some time with a random name generator, i've decided her name is selva). #pixelart #ドット絵 #art #DigitalArt #catgirl

nobody told her that it was just sparkling grape juice. #pixelart #ドット絵 #art #DigitalArt #oni #bunnysuit

it's a pixel art picture of a girl wearing a shiny red playboy-style bunny costume. she's sitting on the ground barefoot, and is holding a dark green glass bottle. her hair is blonde, and her eyes are green. she's blushing and has a little smirk on her face.

maid-based defense system. #pixelart #ドット絵 #art #DigitalArt #oni #maid

it's a pixel art picture of a blue oni maid. she has blue skin, two prominent horns, red hair and tan/gold eyes. she's holding a rectangular mop in an agressive position, as if she's prepared to wield it as a weapon (and certainly as if she's not prepared to use it on the floor, as the head of the mop is pointing up). her dress is a black maid's dress, and while it's probably not quite a full on "skimpy maid's dress" (or maybe it is, i don't know), the skirt is short and it does show some cleavage. she's wearing shiny black shoes.

robot girls are always tricky for me to draw, and i don't even try to draw the mechanical bits. massive props to the artists that do. #pixelart #ドット絵 #art #DigitalArt #robotgirl #gynoid #android

it's a pixel art picture of a robot girl. her skin is unnaturally pure white, and her (long) hair, eyes, lips, fingernails, and toenails are all blue. she's wearing short cutoff bluejean shorts and a green cropped tank top. her head is tilted slightly and she's slightly smiling.

cropping out one of the hands because you got frustrated with drawing it? couldn't be me. #pixelart #ドット絵 #art #DigitalArt #foxgirl

it's a pixel art picture of a foxgirl. she's wearing a blue tube top and blue dolphin shorts (i've drawn a lot of characters with these sorts of shorts lately, i like them a lot!). she has orange hair and purple eyes. she's stretching, with one arm across the other. she also has her legs in a position like she might have just been stretching them too, and is still on the floor (that was the intent anyway). her hair is in a side ponytail, and she's grinning.
