Posting for anyone who might like it.

I needed a wallpaper for a dumbphone I bought, so I made one, using one of my photos as a reference. The original is 128x160, this one was upscaled 8x using NN sampling for clarity

Nice, it's soothing and looks really realistic in the thumbnail to be so simple. What program do you use for pixel art?

[-] brachypelmasmithi@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

Good 'ol paint.net, for which I still have to fire up a VM, because no other Linux program can replicate the workflow. I tried many, and out of all of them Pinta and Krita were relatively close, but still far from what I was used to, before I switched operating systems. I could technically try dedicated pixel art programs, but I'm more than fine working with what I got.

Have you tried out mtPaint?

[-] brachypelmasmithi@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

This is the first time I hear of it, actually. I'll check it out!

Do! It's ancient but it may do what you need. I have made pixel art with it before

I checked it out but I'm afraid I'm already way too rooted into paint.net to invest my time into learning mtP 😅 Still a neat program, though! Its age gives it a nice charm to it.

The dithering is so pretty

Looks like a title screen background for ocarina of time!

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
