pixel art drawing of the pokemon Jirachi flying through the sky in front of a pale blue crescent moon. the dark area of the crescent moon is actually empty and you can see the clouds behind it (as opposed to the moon being round with the dark area of the crescent simply being a shadow - this moon is actually crescent shaped!) the background has cotton candy pink and blue clouds, a few sparkly stars added also in a very pale pink, and a pale green cloud in the foreground at the bottom right of the canvas to add some depth. everything in the environment is outlined by the same cotton candy blue color that comprises the base sky color. only Jirachi itself is drawn with a darker outline to create contrast against the very soft lines and shapes of the environment. this drawing was originally drawn at just 64x64 pixels, and scaled up 600% to be posted here (most of the pixel art here is drawn small and scaled up, but usually the base canvas is a bit larger so the scale up percentage needed is less, like 400% usually. so this was a smaller than usual drawing, scaled up extra to look good here!)
pixel art drawing of the pokemon Bellossom looking happy (she's smiling with an open mouth and her arms are extended to the sides in a playful-looking position) the background is comprised of several detailed leafy bushes, all green and shaded/highlighted with yellowy green. the gaps in the bush are shaded with black to create depth in the foreground there's also a bit of green grass in front of Bellossom, making her appear to be in the mid-ground of the scene! the green grass is shaded with a pale yellowish green, and there are some small pink and red flowers in the grassy area as well (sort of like fruit punch colors of pink) the whole thing is shaded using cel shading techniques. Bellossom herself is outlined with a single-pixel-width stroke in soft orange. the stroke has been made more subtle by cleaning up the "corner pixels" that usually add bulk to the stroke
pixel art drawing of Alolan Raichu in front of a tranquil body of water with some jagged rocks sticking out, and a rocky mountainous background (almost like the body of water is in a canyon) raichu is shaded and highlighted with simple cel shading. the water is colored using shades of teal with varying degrees of saturation and lightness. the surface of the water is shaded with horizontal line segments to make it look calm and still! the background mountains are shades of a dusty purple. there are a couple of white clouds and the round sun is visible in the corner, also white.
pixel art drawing of the ackmage character (a simplistic hooded character similar to a Shy Guy from Mario/Zelda, a Subrosian also from Zelda, or a black mage/Vivi from Final Fantasy) sitting looking cute, on top of an animated checkerboard background that moves diagonally up and to the left. the color palette is muted blues, greens and purples. it says "hacked by ackmage" using the Redensek font with the text outlined in contrasting colors, and the letters in the word 'ackmage' stagged so each letter is vertically shifted up or down a few pixels for a slightly off set and appealing look! (it makes it seem more like a logo imo). ackmage also blinks occasionally if you let it loop long enough. the background is meant to be transparent but I made it gray because it'll turn white if left transparent when I upload it to Bluesky (because it's animated, it becomes an MP4 instead of a GIF)
pixel art drawing of a fake pokemon toy entitled Fairy Moon that includes Clefairy, Clefable and a Moon Stone! it's animated to show Clefairy, Clefable and the moon stone gently floating around in zero gravity within the transparent plastic half-spheres they are contained within. there are also some animated sparkles on the moon stone! the toy packaging itself has a purple, light blue and yellow galaxy background showing a segment of a round moon plus sparkly stars sprinkled in around it. the whole drawing is represented in a somewhat isometric view (so tilted a bit, giving us a slanted perspective of the toy package) it was drawn with a transparent background but I added a dark gray background to prevent Bluesky from replacing the transparency with a black background :) this is one of my favorite things i've made
pixel art drawing of the pokemon Gastly making his signature nasty lil smile at you gastly is pictured small near the center of the canvas (black background), surrounded by ghostly noxious glow/fumes/whatever ghosts float around in! the ghostly aura is drawn using Bayer Matrix dithering and features a series of shades of dusty purple, red, pink, taupe, olive, orange and blue (all desaturated shades meant to look a bit eerie!)
grayscale (whites/grays on black) pixel art drawing shaded using Bayer Matrix to create subtlety and depth. a mysterious room is shown, with a transparent fabric curtain draped open across a white arched window . the moon can be seen through the top left area of the window, and the remaining section of the moon that would be blocked by the wall is filled in with 2x2 Bayer Matrix for a semi-transparent effect (so it's visible through the wall). more of the night sky can also be seen through the wall as well, with nebulas and star clusters drawn using the Bayer Matrix and carefully arranged individual pixels! the room also features several tables with crystal balls, lit candles and a silver arrow suspended within a glass dome (and you should leave it there!) this was drawn as a gift for a friend
a crudely drawn pixel art tamagotchi-style toy using swampy blue and green tones of colors. the toy is outlined with a sickly-looking speckled orange and lime green stroke outline. the salmon pink colored virtual pet character shown on the screen sort of resembles the digimon Botamon (so basically just a simplistic teddy bear head as its entire body, with little dots for eyes). he is shown to be shouting "HI !!!" and the UI on the toy screen gives you the option to TALK or LEAVE (with TALK currently highlighted). the clock on the screen says it is 9:00 at night and shows a crescent moon icon. Bayer Matrix dithering is used throughout for shading and to add texture and depth to the background! there are some small squares and circles in different pastel colors arranged around the canvas like geometric sparkles, to make it look busy & pretty (think Chiclets gum packet) it's drawn on a transparent background which will become black when uploaded to Bluesky.
a pixel art mockup of a video game UI for a made up item - a rare element called Bunnium\! it's just a simplistic bunny head enclosed in a clear sphere which is shaded and given depth using Bayer Matrix dithering for shading! the drawn UI is in an asymmetrical somewhat abstract shape with a faded mint and yellow diagonal-checkerboard pattern in the background. the whole UI area has a powder blue stroke outline a few pixels thick. there are a couple of red and green flowering vines in the top left and bottom right corners of the canvas for decoration! the UI also features the supposed value and rarity of the Bunnium item (9999G and 3 stars, respectively!) with a sideways carrot for a cursor, you're shown the option to SELL or CANCEL (SELL is currently highlighted!). the canvas background is meant to be transparent but will become black when uploaded to Bluesky.
pixel art drawing of just the silhouette of a one-handed sword with a muted steel blue single-pixel-width stroke outline on a transparent background (which becomes a black background when uploaded to Bluesky)
pixel art drawing of the digimon character Digitamamon using a variety of contrasting colors in the background including a muted teal, a dark lime green, a vivid magenda, and a muted deep lavender shade. uses Bayer Matrix dithered gradients for shading
