Haven’t bought physical media in awhile…
I bought this as I have a really fun personal project idea and needed a physical copy of an original NES cartridge. The used book store also had what looks like a brand new copy of Kirby for the famicom. I would have bought it if it was much cheaper. 😍

Some progress. Designing and creating physical objects can be such an enjoyable process.

Good prototype. Now I have more things to optimize. Those silver rivets on the back are actually neodymium magnets so this can stick on a metal wall as decoration. Happy with how the pixel artwork came out considering I’ve only attempted this a few times in the past. #design

I've kind of gotten hooked on creating pixel art lately. 😁

I know likes and engagement on social media isn’t important, but as an artist/designer you want your work to be appreciated and seen. Feedback has always been great over here, but I find it interesting that my artwork posted on a huge network like instagram doesn’t get more views. Algorithm only rewards videos these days? My pixel art just isn’t that good in the first place? I know it’s not a big deal, but I can’t help but be annoyed that it’s not getting seen on a site built for liking images.
@mark nothing I post on Instagram gets more than a handful of likes and I’ve been there since the beginning. Not your fault, that work is awesome.
@gedeonm @mark I saw a comment this week that I agree with: Instagram is no longer social media. It is a new form of television. Scrolling Instagram is the new channel surfing where the shows are just very short.
