A demon-like guy is looking oh-so-lovingly at a girl laying on a red couch. Caressing her cheek, he says, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

IT’S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY! ✨ if i could humbly request a share of my art, it would be the best gift ever 💖

a pixel art piece featuring a cloudscape at nighttime. the sky is filled with clouds of various colours: pink, yellow, cyan, blue and dark blue. a half moon is partly covered behind one of the blue clouds, reflecting its light onto them. the black sky is also filled with stars. the scene is meant to evoke a sense of peace, wonder and nostalgia

pixel art featuring a trail going off into the distance. the brown trail goes through a grassy field filled with flowers of various colours (yellow, pink, red and white). in the distance there are some green hills. the blue sky is filled with a giant white cloud, with some light coming from the top left. the text in the middle of the sky reads: “bloom at your own pace”

pixel art of space featuring a blue nebula surrounded by blue stars and a blue planet at the top right. a shooting star is also visible

pixel art featuring a sunset scene. the sun setting on some hills behind a body of water. the water is of a clear blue colour. the sky’s colours are red, purple and dark blue, while the hills are silhouette black. purple clouds make up the skyline

Just a little reminder to everyone: Algorithms are useless. It's very hard to find cool stuff without being shown it by someone else. So if you find something cool - a band, a game, a video essay or anything else - share it and tell people about it. And thanks to anyone who does! You're cool!
