Today's #pixel_dailies prompt was "trainer", and it's also #ShrimpSunday, so I had to revisit one of the best pieces of video ever recorded and certainly from the late 2000's, "Shrimp Running On A Treadmill To Yakety Sax": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2cr1bUHIBM

Today's #pixel_dailies prompt was "sleep", and first off, HAH, as a dad of two kids under 5 what the hell is sleep. Second, who needs sleep? Third, "Who Needs Sleep?" was a great song. Fourth, Stunt was a great album.

Fifth, I'm sleep deprived wheeeeeee

Today's #pixel_dailies prompt was "strategy game", and I can never turn down a game of Risk.

Today's #pixel_dailies prompt was "calm", and it's also #ShrimpSunday, and more importantly it's #transdayofvisibility ... so wow, that's a lot. But this shrimp is taking it all in stride, they've got a very comfy-looking blanket.

Today's #pixel_dailies prompt was "privacy", and an old-fashioned combination safe seems pretty private, as long as you don't leave the combination on a convenient scrap of paper nearby.

Today's #pixel_dailies prompt was "prize", and I'm still on vacation so I'm still doing 1-bit, but that doesn't mean I can't have some animation, as a treat.

Gamedev companies that laid off THOUSANDS of people are the same ones that asked everyone to crunch their way to divorce and depression just couple years back.

Think about it next time you thunk about staying a single minute overtime.

Today's #pixel_dailies prompt was "rice", so I pixelled a poke bowl.

Hey I've been here for over a year but never did an #introduction. I'm Eph, I'm a birdsite refugee, and I'm a #pixelartist! I'm also a perpetually-tired dad of three kids (2 living, 1 dead), I'm a former #gamedev who burned out to land industry-adjacent, and I enjoys games but I'm not a Gamer.

I love #pixelart and have been doing #pixel_dailies for almost 2 years, I'm a lapsed #baseball fan and an eternal #blaseball fan (RIV), and I recently moved from #StL to #Baltimore.

Today's #pixel_dailies prompt was "elixir", and of course it's also #ShrimpSunday, so here's a traveling shrimp oil salesman peddling his wondrous and magical wares to unsuspecting--- I mean lucky customers.

Today's #pixel_dailies prompt was "spine", so I pixelled the cover of They Might Be Giants' album, The Spine.

Today's #pixel_dailies prompt was "nature", which aligned nicely with #ShrimpSunday, so I kinda broke my usual 8-color limit to really get a sweet lookin' shrimpy friend.

Today's #pixel_dailies prompt was "something with calcium in it", and... well, I had to go with limestone caverns. I loved visiting Meramec Caverns as a kid growing up in #StL, and they're still what I think of when I think of caves.

Inspired by @jammigans and @objetdiscret, I'm gonna start throwing my monthly #pixel_dailies pieces into a... month... thing. Look, art!

ugh, I can't decide how to scale it so that it doesn't get destroyed on mobile, so here it is at 1x (edit: no, 4x)

Today's #pixel_dailies prompt was "cartoon", and for my money this is one of the most foundational comedy bits from my childhood, at least as far as Looney Tunes go. Particularly the variation that ends with "Baseball Season" as the punchline, because they did this bit like five times.

Not gonna lie, thought about this one all day and I'm incredibly happy it worked out.

Pixel art gif of a famous Looney Tunes sequence, featuring Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. In order to evade Elmer Fudd, Bugs Bunny tears the "Rabbit Season" sign from a tree, revealing a "Duck Season" one beneath. Daffy Duck then does the same, revealing another "Rabbit Season". They go back and forth like this forever.

Today's #pixel_dailies prompt was "lottery", and I decided to keep it simple. That is, except for once again doing angled text what is wrong with me seriously.

Today's #pixel_dailies prompt was "dummy", and I just got my hands on a copy of Shrimps For Dummies, right on time for #ShrimpSunday

Alright I saw other folks doing the #artsummary thing for 2023, so here's mine. These may not be my best #pixel_dailies pieces from each month, but they're my favorites, and I really feel like I've gotten way better this year. Thanks to all the folks who've been encouraging voices in the #pixelart space!

Today's #pixel_dailies prompt was "dough", and it's also #ShrimpSunday, so... you're telling me a shrimp fried this doughnut?

I tried to make it look like sorta sloppy fast-food icing on top, pretty happy with it.

Today's #pixel_dailies prompt was "sweater", so I just kinda doodled around with patterns and tried to nail the shape.

Today's #pixel_dailies prompt was "wind", and all I have to say is that it took a surprising amount of work to keep this windmill from looking like a swastika working at this resolution.
