October starts tomorrow and as I had a lot of fun last year taking part in #hARToween I figured I should try another month long daily pixel art creation challenge again.

The prompt list of #cosytober2025 looks like it could be fun, and so I think I'll go with that!

Not yet sure about my personal rules, but currently thinking about 64x64 (vs 128x128 last year) & maybe EDG77 or possibly even something smaller as a palette...

Like last year of course I won't commit to actually do it every day as real life will probably prevent that from working, but again the goal will be to finish all, and if possible within October.

Attached: 1 image 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 #aseprite

Ok, here we go, my entry for day 1 of #cosytober2025, "Comfy". And I consider a hot mug of my favourite tea and a book a very comfy thing indeed, so I chose that.

64x64px (though rendered out at 400%), EDG77 palette, but only 16 of those colors used.

Not 100% happy, but hey, it's been a year since I last did any #pixelart and it took some time back then as well to get into the flow of things ^^

Like last year I've used my 12" Wacom drawing tablet because I can't draw with a mouse.

Day 2 of #cosytober2025: "Fungi"

And we can't do fungi without some moss of course.

10 colors from EDG77 this time.

Day 3 of #cosytober2025: "Acorn"

11 colors from EDG77. Not 100% happy with the leaves tbh, but "perfect" is the enemy of "done" 😅

Day 4 of #cosytober2025: "Friend"

Naturally the first thing that came to mind for me was @janinahimmen, but I didn't trust myself to be able to draw her (or any human tbh), so instead I went with the other kind of friend everyone should have - my support plushy @timothy

This one used 12 colors from EDG77 and was based on a picture I took of him back in 2023 :) https://plushies.social/@timothy/110287330025326643

Day 5 of #cosytober2025: "Yellow"

Thought a while about this one and then remembered my first LEGO space minifigures ^^

7 colors from EDG77 this time. Spaaaaaaace!

Day 6 of #cosytober2025: "Star"

Lot's of TODOs this work week, so I'm kinda glad the Monday had a prompt I could do rather quickly 😅 I briefly thought about a drawing of our sun based on a NASA shot, but decided against that due to time. Maybe I'll do that as a bonus at a later day, if so I'll add it as a reply.

*edit* almost forgot: 5 colors of EDG77

Day 7 of #cosytober2025: "Apple"

Something's not right on the lighting, but I have to take care of work stuff now 😅 Still happy with the result, considering I'm still very much a beginner.

A whopping 15 colors of EDG77 this time, an apple has a surprising amount of colors, and I didn't even add some water drops as I originally wanted to 😉

Day 8 of #cosytober2025: "Sprinkles"

When I read the prompt the first time, a donut is what came immediately to my mind, so that's what I went with.

13 colors from EDG77 - I am admittedly surprised that this used less colors than the apple yesterday ^^

Day 9 of #cosytober2025: "Umbrella"

Haven't watched Mary Poppins since childhood, but that still came to my mind when reading today's prompt. So here we go. Best I could do today 🤧

12 colors from EDG77.

Day 10 of #cosytober2025: "Pink"

Here's Waddles from #GravityFalls, which I recently rewatched 😊 Went all in with the matching cartoon style.

9 colors from EDG77. Not happy with the background, but my attempts to do the actual one from that scene ended up very meh 😅

Gotta say, these drawings are a nice distraction right now, this 🤬 COVID infection is giving me some brainfog and sleep deprivation.

Day 11 of #cosytober2025: "Scarf"

Homage to Alto's Adventure, a fun and chill mobile game that I still enjoy playing from time to time. Always loved how long the character's scarf can get there! 🧣

Sorry, no timelapse or colour stats today, sick AF 🤒🦠

Used the Android pixelart drawing app Pixel Studio instead of my usual Aseprite. Apparently there's some genAI with the same name, so no tagging here... 😒

*edit* did some minor fixes

Day 12 of #cosytober2025 : "Jumper"

Yes, I'm aware that the prompt meant a sweater/pullover, but this is what *I* understand to be a jumper - I'm also an electronics nerd, sorry 😄 [1]

Also gave me a reason to finally try my hand at something isometric. Came out a tad too big though.

That was something like 8 colours from EDG77. Once more drawn with Pixel Studio for Android on my tablet due to reasons 🤧, so no timelapse.

Day 13 of #cosytober2025: "Bear"

Hmm... not very happy with the background, didn't manage to give things enough contrast. Tried a bunch of colouring approaches but couldn't find the solution. But at least this looks like the scenery I wanted to draw, and as I'm still quite sick it's the best I can do for now.

Once more drawn on my android tablet, so no timelapse.

Day 14 of #cosytober2025: "Pattern"

Still on the couch 🤧 but now with a Surface tablet running Linux and thus back on #Aseprite!

That pattern was more work than expected and was also the first time I had to add colours for the frame because otherwise it wasn't looking good at all, but I think that was worth it!

Four colours from EDG77 without the frame, 6 with it.

Day 15 of #cosytober2025 : "Squirrel"

Originally I wanted to go with a cartoonish approach and maybe I should have done that for a better outcome, but this is also for learning so here is what I have. 🐿️

17 colors of EDG77 this time, and a bit of a fight 😅

Day 16 of #cosytober2025: "Orange"

I wanted to find a reason to draw a #Capybara and this prompt matched this well 😄

14 colours from EDG77.

Like last year I'm making a wallpaper of all my drawings for the October art challenge I'm taking part in, this time for #cosytober2025, and as we are now at half time, this is how things currently look.
