Here’s something I made for PixelJoint. It’s a tiny sprite of a fox turning around. 16×16 pixels, 4 colors, 8 frames. 🎨 I used the Ministeck color palette.
While I’m still struggling with micro.blog, I’m envisioning a time when I can use it as my primary website at my own domain. I never transferred a domain, so it seems all very scary. Until then, I’ll be using my WP site and MB site side-by-side.
Today’s Pixel Dailies theme was time capsule. 🎨
Another art niche I’m interested in is bead sprites, where videogame sprites are realized as an object you can hold, and is made out of beads. Doesn’t need to be flat either and can be wearable. 🎨
As a budding pixel artist, I looked for blogs, subreddits, etc. about Ministeck, a Dutch pearlboard equivalent. Nothing substantial. There’s a niche for me there, wide open 🤩 🎨
Currently, I’ve cobbled together a solution with my own (shared) WP server, Flickr Pro, and a free micro.blog account. It’s a hassle and somewhat expensive for how little I use those. FB and IG are dead simple, with lots of ads.
MeWe seems an alternative for FB groups and micro.blog for the FB newsfeed. It’s about having alternatives, breaking dependence on a single provider.
With iOS 14.5 about to be released and hearing the personal tragedies with suspended accounts, I’m contemplating abandoning Facebook and all their properties, other than for family.
