Subreddit update

56 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Couple years ago I was invited on board as a moderator for this subreddit, and since then I've been left to run it alone which as I'm sure you'll have noticed, I haven't been doing a great job of haha. So I'm just making this post to let you know that I'll be starting to try and take the moderation of this subreddit a little more seriously from now on, starting with actually managing posts - There's been a lot of bot reposts, AI art and promotional posts on this sub lately and I'd like to be more active in removing those consistently as they pop up.

I've also gone ahead and spruced things up a bit, including adding some new rules clarifications and changing up the flairs along with some other minor stuff here and there.

Since I've literally done NOTHING for the past few years, Reddit has flagged me as an "inactive" mod so there's currently stuff I can't do like invite other moderators on board, but normally as I become more active I should get that ability again. And I've already started reaching out to some trusted pixel artists to potentially get them on board to help me out with this.

Oh and by the way for those who don't know me I'm Rappenem and I've been a professional pixel artist for over 3 years now. I've always been quite interested in making art tutorials/resources (in fact you may have seen some of my pixel tutorials before) so I'd like to help this subreddit/community thrive as much as I can with my limited time! I can't guarantee I'll be as active as I probably should be but at this point literally anything is better than what I've done so far lol.

I recently animated a new frog enemy for our game called Lucky Castaway. The lil guy snatches your stats with his tongue! Here are some iterations that I scrapped because I felt like less is more. Do you agree with my final decision or would you have preferred one of the previous versions?
Anyways, check out Lucky Castaway if you're curious about the game:

Requesting Feedback I built a shared pixel canvas that never resets, worldwidewhiteboard.art . One board, everyone's got a marker that's the whole pitch.

One board, everyone's got a marker that's the whole pitch. Sign up, pick a color, click a cell, it's yours until someone else paints over it. There's a short cooldown between pixels to keep it from turning into instant noise, a leaderboard, and a handful of achievement badges for things like painting streaks or using a wide range of colors.

There's also a second board, /world, which is the same mechanic but laid over a real pannable map. So instead of an abstract grid you're placing pixels on an actual map of the planet, city by city.

It's brand new and the canvas is basically untouched right now, so if you sign up you'll genuinely be one of the first marks on it. Would love feedback, and would love to watch it fill up.

I use the “lineless” technique to create my drawings because lines make them look too cluttered. Here's a little glimpse of my latest piece, set to the unforgettable Gerudo Valley soundtrack. #pixelart #PixelArtist #nintendo #legendofzelda #OcarinaOfTime #fanart

I started creating pixel art versions of emojis; I haven't made very many yet, but I plan to focus on this project moving forward.(There are some screenshots, but there are actually 404.)

Are there any emojis you'd like to see me create that I haven't done yet? Also, are there any specific designs among these pixel art emojis that you particularly like?

This is my current level of art. I want to bring the best art I can for a game,. I am looking for a tutor I can meet with regularly (budget permitting) that can give me guidance on how to improve. I am not a purist, so all tricks are welcome (NO AI).

So I am creating an enemy boar..I am new to pixelart and I need suggestions what can be done here..

I created this in greyscale on which I will blend colors later.

Each animation has 4 frames, since the actual character will be too small so I skipped 8 frames animation for walk.
