In the effort to push myself to make more pixel art, I tried out a weekly pixel art challenge to motivate myself with a deadline.

The first one I finished was a quick Draw This in Your Own Style Challenge for Jpbravart on Twitter. I was keen on the design and I wanted to be more selfless with my art output. It’s a better way to draw fan art without dealing with the disappointment by general nerd media.

I wanted to finish this animation for Newground’s Pixel Day, but I was already slipping hard on this goal.

I should have started a week before, but I’m used to that disappointment.
As a bonus, here’s a Secret Santa Art thing I made last December for FOX-POP on FurAfffinity.

If I recall at 464×512 px, this may just be my largest pixel animation so far. This dwarfed my previous Jungle Cat Animation.
I also made a CRT version courtesty of CRTView by Mattias Gustavsson. I also found the Pixel Snowing Animations by Grappe to help sell the winter stuff.

This is what I’ve done for the month. This output disappoints me. I’m stretched thin, between general art and Blackmask. I don’t know how long I’ll keep this up, but I want to make this a larger occurrence.
