took some time today to go to the farmer's market
Thank you so much for the reply! It was incredibly helpful! And also, I feel the pain of having to cater to Reels/TikTok :[
yeah i really didn't sign up to be a circus performer, but here we are.
I love your art so much!! It's inspiring me to get back into pixel art (I gave up quickly). A huge problem I had was I didn't know what size was best to set my canvas for specific projects. I always ended up overestimating and making it too big and then it looked less like pixel art and more like grainy digital art. Do you have a rough guide you stick to for landscapes/bedrooms/cities VS. things like animals and characters?
aw thank you i'm happy to hear that! i hope u stick with it ♥
with landscapes/bedrooms/cities i use 275x155. this provides a fair amount of detail while still keeping it pixely, plus it resizes to wallpaper size. for vertical i just reverse it at 155x275.
i've also recently started to use 215x215 (same amount of pixels as above) so that i can resize my art to easily fit both wallpapers, and mobile videos... since tiktok and instagram reels are everything nowadays 😒
for characters and animals, generally i will base the size of the canvas around how i stylize eyes.
so i'll draw the eyes first, then just draw everything else around that.
i also have a smaller resolution style with 2px dot eyes that i use for adding characters to landscapes, since my landscape resolution is too small for my regular style unless the character is close to the screen.
hope this helps!

aw thanks but... i barely listen to music 😭
i'm either just talking in discord all day, or watching video game lore videos/obscure video game playthroughs...
whats ur favorite thing to draw/create?
UI!!! i just love making video game UI :3c it's very technical, u have to know a lot about the game functions and even the engine limitations sometimes, and you have to figure out how to visually design how players directly interact with the game. its challenging and fun!!

my child had gifted me art. he calls it "meowlk'
i updated the files, and it should include all of these now!
i don't think any of these are clip studio but photoshop, procreate, krita and gimp should work :)

Hello, I adore your art!
I was just wondering if you allowed people to use it (with credit) for avatars, backgrounds, etc! If you answered this already I apologize!
Have a nice day. 😊
thank you! 🥰 i don't mind as long as there's credit!

(love your name btw <3 bees are the best, i have a bee-friendly foliage around my house and a bee tattoo 🥹)
i like to use your animated pixel art scenery for discord profile pics and banners sometimes (and say where i got it from in my bio or status message bc i want people to see your art more) it might be cute if you intentionally did a series of little animated portraits/objects for profile pictures and some of your usual landscape-type scenes that are the size of discord banners :]
ooo that's a great idea! i've already been working on some phone wallpapers secretly hehe but i didn't consider discord, i'll add that to my to do list! i'll probably upload them on my ko-fi as downloads :)
ty for the suggestion!! <3

lore drop!
angelcats are the lowest division of holy being. they are genderless, although can claim a gender if they feel connected to it. they can be any color, but their eyes are always in the 'reflective/holographic' mode that happens when you shine a light into a cat's eye, due to where they reside being bathed in light.
they live in the lowest realm of heaven closest to earth, and get sent on tasks by low rank angels. tasks can be anything from making one individual creature's life better (or worse), or placing an object at a certain place. all tasks given to them are simple/easy in nature, as angelcats are just used to create a butterfly effect on earth to certain outcomes that angels desire.
angelcats complete their task while living out a lifetime on earth as any creature. they come back when the task is completed and they die. when they return, they gain a body part from the creature they lived as. after 9 lives, they get to retire. none of the angelcats know what retiring entails.
this particular angelcat has a human heart & a third eye from a rabbit, when they lived as a human & rabbit respectively.
