iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I was 6 or 7, this was 1981, in rural Australia, and we got to borrow and use it for one evening. I had no idea what I was doing. There like Pong, and a shooting game with a pistol peripheral. The lowest of low res black images with a few white pixels

They did value it and used it. The history of Microsoft features a lot of widely used software. He’s complaining that they are STEALING it and using it. It’s not that it’s collecting g dust on shelves because the market doesn’t want it. I know how it was, I had an Apple IIe and pirated everything!!!

Technique for an isometric dry stone wall. The bright colours don't mean anything, they just make it easier to see each stone. I will add colour variation and moss later. The final project will scale these to around 300%, so 1 pixel in the image is 3x3 pixels at 1920 x 1080 #pixelart #dotpic

Image describes a technique for drawing a low resolution isometric pixel art dry stone wall with various block sizes, and realistic construction and shading.

I've made 3 birch trees now. Each has the same limbs and leaf clumps flipped & rearranged. Some clumps are pushed back and shaded to add depth. The canopy shape squished to make a ground shadow. Last one only took 10 min. Will reuse/recolour parts for various sizes and seasons. #pixelart #dotpic

Nice! Quality art supplies that are available, reliable, and work in harmony with one's own style and technique are a true treasure! 😊

Tried hot pressed/smooth watercolour paper? Or do you need the cold pressed texture for the desired outcome?
