My #pixelart entry for PSICOZINE, an italian fanzine! 124x180px, 22 colors I originally meant to animate it, but I am pc-less atm. Bronzong is one of my faves - I love bronzes from the Yayoi period in general. Recently, I also developed a huge love for the bronze art of Sangxingdui, Guanghan.

$A pixel art of the pokemon Bronzong and Bronzor. The steel/psychic pokemon is embedded in an intricate frame wall, perfectly shaped around him. Two Bronzor are located at its sides. The dark temple is lit by a bright flame contained in a horned urn right below Bronzong. This round brazier is shaped like the headpiece of the legendary pokemon Ting-Lu. The bright flame causes all sorts of reflections and color diffractions: from the warm light to the characteristic shades of oxidated bronze, with purple and cold reflections as well. Upon further inspection, the rich frame carvings reveal many historiated scenes: below bronzong there's a lunette holds stylized figures of Dialga, Palkia and Giratina. Above the two Bronzor, embedded in the frame, the silhouettes of Uxie, Azelf and Mesprit. On the higher part of the structure, right above Bronzong, the effigy of Arceus, lit by a cold light.$

*leans forward, taps microphone* Peoples' preference for minimalist design is a white supremacy thing. When Black folks started to move into design spaces meaningfully in the 60's and 70's, they embraced maximalist design, and white folks ran like hell. Read about it. papress.com/products/ext...

Assets that I made for the 2024 Roguelike Celebration Steam sale page. 🧑‍🎨 The tallish tile size here I'm very fond of. I choose it because it reminds me of the tall grid often in ASCII roguelikes, but it also had some benefits when it came to actually draw the tiles & sprites.

Check out this new NES flashcart: www.kickstarter.com/projects/701... It's a lot cheaper than EverDrive N8 Pro, while having some cool enticing features of its own, so it should make it more affordable for more people to play digital releases of NES homebrew games on real consoles.

Why did you transition, right answers only. For me it was literally just discovering what transition was and seeing some before/after pictures. As soon as I knew what was possible, I had to reevaluate everything. It was maybe a couple months of feeling through that before I started E.

text : Look. There's never a perfect time to cast your first spell. Especially as a self-taught witch. Reckless ? Sure. But the truth is... I needed a friend."
