In order to improve my fresh #pixelart skills I'm going to try my hand at #hartoween

👉 https://social.horrorhub.club/@stina_marie/113220760493893634

Can't promise I'll be able to do everything on the day its due, and that I'll have the energy to keep up with it throughout the month, but it's worth a try at least.

Personal rules: 128x128px (but exported at 200%), trying to stick to the ENDESGA64 palette as much as I can.

So, here's day 1: Pumpkin

Attached: 1 image I made a list of Art Challenge prompts for anyone interested because I didn't like the any of the ones I saw for #October. Feel free to share them and do one, some, or all of them. I tried to make prompts that you can go spooky, creepy, or cute with, and that you can do at any skill level, so I hope people like them & join in. The hashtag is #hARToween #ArtChallenge #Art #Mastoart #artstodon #TraditionalArt #inktober #SpookySeason #ScarySeason #artist #ArtPrompts #Halloween #Spooktober

Needed some non-coding time to think about how to approach something, so used that time to take care of today's #hARToween while brainstorming on how to approach the work thing.

Thus here's day 2: Spooky House

I actually already drew tomorrow's #hARToween image tonight because I don't know how much time I'll have for it tomorrow, with #mrmcd2024 starting.

So here's a somewhat early day 3: Ghost

This was not the original plan, but one thing led to another and I just ran with it. Turned out way cuter than I thought I could pull off 🤭

I can't draw at all with a mouse btw... No chance at all. But I recently got myself a 11.6" drawing tablet and that's unlocked so much for me 😅

Today's #hARToween image is admittedly a rush job as I'm currently at #mrmcd2024 and thus can't focus as well on drawing as on the first three days.

But I took the graphic tablet with me and tried my best to paint Granny Weatherwax in under 30min.

Day 4: Witch.

Now that I'm feeling better, let's try to get back on top of #hARToween.

I'll try to also catch up on what I missed, but if I don't have the time for more than one drawing per day, I'll focus on the current one.

Today I (so far) did two.

First one is today's, Day 11: From the Depths.

The seconds on is the first one I missed, Day 5: Haunted Doll.

I'm quite happy with today's #hARToween drawing... Day 12: Full Moon (first). Awooooo! I think working with minimal lining here and just letting everything be backlit worked great!

I'm not that happy with the second one I did for the (missed) Day 6: Closet Monster (second). I like my idea, but I couldn't figure out how to add some details and shading without things looking weird. Ah well. I'm learning :)

Some more #hARToween drawings...

First of all, today's, Day 13: Mask.

I'm not very happy with that one, didn't help that this was my third try either I guess. At least experimented a bit with lightning, and glowing eyes.

And the second one, Day 7: Bloody Mary.

With that one I'm quite ok, especially happy with the light effects and the lime. And yes, from the get go I planned to draw the cocktail vs. something creepy, sorry 😅

#hARToween Day 14: Bats

I tried my hand a bit more on dithering (manually, with custom brushes, apart from the gradient in the back), and I might have overdone it a bit maybe, but tbh I kinda like it...

Now also with a creation timelapse (after I finally managed to get a proper workflow going for that)

@foosel haha that's awsome, especially the flying bat where you can really see your thoughts "no"... "also no..." "aah, fuck it" *erases everything* 🤣

@DJGummikuh For the record, that "ah fuck it" was actually caused by me not liking the resulting composition rather than the sketched bat ^^ I think it was the right decision too.

@foosel I have a bat feeling about this

@TabascoEye Was using that from day 3 on, but was still figuring out CLI based post processing to add the checkboard background and optimizing the gif. Today I finally figured that out and created a small bash script. Will share tomorrow or so.
