artist, pixel nerd, just a bean on the internet. Art by artists; not by algorithms.

a pixel art image of two mermaids and a puffin, sitting on some rocks with an ocean and cloudy sky in the background. Small silhouettes of birds are in the sky. On the right hand side of the image is a green mermaid with mauve hair; her proportions are of an average-height human. Her friend, on the left, is gold and orange, with red-pink hair. She has a thicker trunk and shorter limbs and tail, resembling a human with dwarfism. A large purple starfish and a small orange starfish sit near her, and a thick patch of seaweed is draped across the rock beneath her, near the bottom of the image. The puffin sits at the top of the rock, between the mermaids. In the top left corner is a little watermark/signature reading EB '23, for ElfyBean 2023; the name of the image's creator, and the year it was made.
A photograph of a cat lying on its side, facing the right side of the image, on top of a blanket. A person's (i.e. the photographer's) legs are stretched out on either side of the cat, to accommodate said (large) cat. The cat is shorthaired with a tuxedo-pattern: mostly black with white paws and small patch of white belly fur is *just* visible. Its whiskers are white, its eyes are closed. The blanket is off-white with a pattern of owls and light green vines. The person's pants are a green-and-turquoise pineapple print on a navy blue background. A bit of the photographer's bright pink shirt is visible at the bottom of the image. Also in-frame, to the right, is a hard 3DS case. It is black with yellow trim. The cat's paws are touching a handmade handheld game pouch, which is made of black t-shirt fabric. The cat's name is Marsh, and he is 5 years old. He loves cuddles and enforcing breaks.
A photograph of a tower pc, sitting on a desk. Beside it as two small boxes and a glass aquarium which are inconsequential but will likely be noticed so I'm mentioning them here. The pc tower is mostly black in appearance with a mesh front, with light strips on the two front vertical edges. There are also two circular lights that can be seen through the glass panel of the tower. One circle is has several colors (cyan, purple, red, and yellow), the other circle is a vibrant magenta-pink. The light strips on the front of the pc tower match the magenta-pink circle's hue.
A tall, lean human, Willow, perches on the edge of a circular bar. Another image of her, to the right, depicts it pouring soda into a drink glass from a nozzle (likely behind the bar). They are wearing a crop top, mid-to-low-rise jeans (modern low-rise; not quite late 90s low-rise), and a flannel over-shirt. His hair is in a bun, held with chopsticks. To the left of the image is some text describing Willow: "Demi-everything Bartender Can drink. Won't." At the bottom of the image is text that reads: "Not *quite* over her last breakup (they took the dog off-world!)" Bonus lore: Willow uses all pronouns, but responds best to "excuse me, my good barkeep?" Mostly to see who will actually address them thusly, later in the night.
A mostly-black cat with a little star of white on his forehead, white whiskers, and a white bib, sits in a cardboard box filled with various stuffed animals of different shapes and sizes. The cat's eyes are closed in an expression of contentment.
An ox tongue succulent, named because each thick, textured, lobed leaf looks like a cow tongue, but green. You can see what looks like a tiny asparagus shoot at the top of the nest of green tongues (now that's a sentence!)
a photograph of a lean silver-blue cat, sitting up straight and leaning into a hand as it pets him (hand is behind the cat's head). The cats eyes are closed, his ears kinda sideways, in an expression of contentedness. The cat is sitting on an exam table which is covered with a cloth that has a printed pattern of hearts which are made of tiny paw prints. A wooden door is in the background to the left, and the opening of a kitty carrier can be seen to the right.
A screenshot from the game Mushroom Musume depicting a little pixel art mushroom person that looks more mushroom than human. The character is outlined in dark green (almost black), and the shadows and face are orange. The image is framed in orange, its background is a light turquoise (blue-green tint) .
a screenshot from the game, Formless Star. The caption reads: #51: TELEPHLORA A creature that evolved the ability to communicate with flowers. Its diet consists of flowers that it doesn't like.
a screenshot from the game, Wanderstop. The protagonist, Alta, takes up about two thirds of the shot, on the right, while a little tie-dyed-lookin' penguin-esque bird stands to the left, looking a bit shifty. Alta is wearing a black shirt and pants with her sleeves tolled up, and a maroon apron over her clothes. Her hair is pale lavender, and she holds her hair back with an orange scarf, tied like a head band. Alta holds a brightly colored mug in her left hand (far right of the image). The mug is hot pink with yellow circles and curved lines, and some blue triangles. It has late 80s Barbie sticker vibes. 10/10 very good, very loud mug.
A vector line drawing of Vibri, a video game character from the game VibRibbon. Her arms and legs are lines and, her hands and feet are triangles. Her eyes are large circles with a crystalline, sun-like pattern in them to indicate the irises of her eyes. She has two rabbit-ear-like ponytails on top of her head (to clarify: pigtails are to the side; ponytails are on top or the back of the head. Fight me in the comments.)
The face and front paws of a light tan colored chihuahua are poking out over a rusty-orange fuzzy blanket. He has a mostly-black nose, black lips and toenails, and just the front edge of his tongue is visible. Neither eye is facing forward or in the same direction, which indicates he was likely sleeping moments before the picture was taken. He looks very annoyed.
a fantastic creature with the head of a rhino iguana, but without eyes, the body of a seal with the skin and forelimbs of a crocodile. It has a large throat pouch, and its mouth is open. The creature is standing in water, hiding most of its body and forelimbs. there are brightly-colored plants in the background.
