"Citrus, you can't make decent-looking pixel, why the hell are you starting to animate" I don't know, ok? That's what I am. When I don't know how to walk, I run. When I can't jump, I fly. And

Something is really wrong, and somehow I can't point out what. Oh, you thought I was talking about the pixel? No, that's easy, I know exactly what's missing. Skill. I just feel like, in general, I'm not doing what I should. But

I post this today, hoping that I will be able to do something better tomorrow. Recently I feel like this site is the only thing stopping me from abandoning this whole thing. The solid proof that sometimes it's really just worse and sometimes better. That we can'

This hairstyle... hits too close to home... it still hurts This one is almost an exact copy of Qings works. His skills in making expressive and multidimensional characters using so few colors are insane. For the past few days I tried, so many times, to do something. Anything. But I

I'M SORRY, IDE, FOR FORGETTING YOUR STRIPES. HOW CAN I FORGET A MAJOR PART OF THE CHARACTER I DESIGNED? WAAAAAA It was my first time ever even attempting a profile like that. Two years ago I would immediately dismiss an idea as completely unrealistic and crazy! ME?? TRYING

I just came back home and wanted to pixel Ide. Normally I have to force myself to sit down and work. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but it's rarely easy nonetheless. I told you hundreds of times how lazy I am. But this one

I know, I'm terribly late, over 2 weeks. I'm sorry. During the first one, I was hiding. Mostly from myself. There are times when you would rather be someone else... or not be entirely. I'm just like that, but it does not mean I

Before any yapping, I was asked to show this glorious and insanely detailed project I had for this pixel. I know, I know. Basically ready to ship. But now, seriously, I can't stop smiling looking at this piece. Not because it's perfect, but because I have

Well, a lot has changed. I couldn't sleep last night thinking how to make this one work. At some point I thought about different Ide pixel, without any outlines, just colors. This style suits her, I think. A lot of interchanging colors, smooth connections, and bright contrasts. My
If I can do something YOU can do anything
It's one of those days it would be so much easier to just stop, give up. I feel like I'm not doing any good. It would be so much easier to just not continue. I know it's just my mind playing tricks on me.
This break was uncalled for. First I got sick and spent the whole weekend in bed, ok that happens. But later I got super anxious about what I'm supposed to pixel. In the end, even my recording script broke... I wanted to Ide, but every time I started,
This post will be a little weird... the script I use to capture the pixeling process broke... So instead of a step-by-step, I will make it a more general (and much shorter) one. A bit of mandatory useless yapping. I tried to incorporate lessons from the course. I tried to
After doing pixels for around 1.5 years, maybe it's finally time to learn how you should actually do it. I stumbled across the course by Downvote, the guy who makes the most beautiful pixel animations I have ever seen. My feelings are somewhat mixed. On one hand,
This pixel is special. It's the first-ever piece I made entirely on my tablet with a pen. I wanted to start practicing it long ago, and I even tried... like a dozen times, but always stopped after a few lines. It's totally different from pixeling using
I know I'm late again, but I really had to gather my mind on what I want to write. This pixel is so undercooked it's not even funny. I didn't have much time to work on it, so even just by peeking at it,
I know, I know, I know, I'm late! But not because I was slacking off (ok, a little bit, but not only!). I just don't know how the calendar works... This post will be a weird one. As you can see, there is no art (I
Yea, some last-minute changes happen, and you can definitely see it. But I think it's ok, overall. I think it's my first time doing (almost) full body + background, and I really like it. They can really complement each other. I also have this weird feeling in
Yes, it is absolutely impossible that the pixel above was made by me. Even with pose copied from another art. This is more than I even imagined working on. I guess I figured it out. The only thing that I needed to become better was listening to emo rock music.
At this point, I hope that me showing up means anything. There isn't much more I can do. I really want to make something large, astonishing, and gorgeous for a person who deserves it. But it feels like it's absolutely impossible. Why is it that people
This is a bare minimum post. I was so close to just giving up and making another "break". But I know how hard it is to come back. For the last week or so, I feel like I can't do anything. Like some invisible weight is
This is the last post of the cursor trilogy. The shortest one too, probably. We already have the base ready and animated, now the only thing left is adding all those silly variations. Most of the add-ons I used are pretty common. First, I'm lazy. Second, what type
