Time for a #MastoArt thread! These low resolution #pixelart portraits are done using #teletext, which is a character (not pixel!) based medium with a 3 bit color palette. If you'd like to know how it works, I did a blog post here! https://nikkiandbunty.wordpress.com/2019/05/08/3-bit-art/

oh my goodness, thank you for all the boosts and comments!!

I also have a low resolution pixel art game called Quantum Witch in development. It's very gay, and stars these three.

Lexi is the hench warrior from another dimension. Tyra Is the stealthy silent bow archer who keeps her wife, Ren grounded when she gets caught up in magical adventures. It's an action adventure meets golden axe type thing, and I'm writing it with @mrbiffo. Expect more soon!!

@nikki Wow :)

@nikki cool,

Do you know if this is the same #teletext one can access via the TV in Switzerland ? (The teletext is the second source of information in Switzerland, just after the TV, but before the radio…)

@nikki so neat! So you mind if I use your teletext purple tentacle as my profile picture?

@Natris1979 @nikki

Can you explain the purp tentacle? Ive always been curious where it came from.
Show threadNatrisNov 17, 2022
@twizzay @nikki Purple Tentacle was a normal, every day, sentient tentacle. One day, he drank some toxic waste despite the warnings from his friend, Green Tentacle. The toxic waste gave him two things: arms and an unyielding desire to take over the world! Which he did. We had to use time travel to fix it. It was a whole thing.

@Natris1979 @nikki

wow what a go-getter.

Question. Are there any active cults around still? Asking for a friend.
Show threadNatrisNov 17, 2022
@twizzay @nikki it is said their flag still flies somewhere. Perhaps everywhere. It is uncertain.

@nikki And just one more thing...

I used to put my kid to sleep watching Poirot, and once we finished the series, Columbo.

@nikki I love all the images I in particular love the Garnet one 😍

@nikki thanks to you now I know the difference between Teletext and Videotext (Minitel) :) the former's control bytes are invisible so you can change the colors for every displayed character.
