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.

Last year's thread is btw here: https://chaos.social/@foosel/113233763230193057

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.

Day 17 of #cosytober2025: "Bag"

That was the most difficult prompt for me so far but then I finally had this idea. 🏳️‍⚧️

17 colors from EDG77.

Day 18 of #cosytober2025: "Tree"

This was inspired by an actual tree standing on the top of the Schauinsland down in the Southern Black Forest. I think it's an old oak and it has this windswept shape that especially during winter with snow around just looks amazing against a blue sky. I tried my best to capture that in 64x64px 😅

7 colours from EDG77

Day 19 of #cosytober2025 : "Love"

The first thing that came to my mind was of course a heart, but I wanted to go with something less generic. Then I thought about animals who mate for life and remembered what I read about swans - so it ended up being a heart after all ^^ I really enjoyed drawing this one!

9 colours from EDG77.

Day 20 of #cosytober2025 : "Bird"

Once more a drawing based on a picture I took during a vacation, great memories 😊

Day 21 of #cosytober2025 : "Family"

A bit later than usual today as I got stuck in work, but here's a small hedgehog family taking a stroll under moonlight.

The original plan was to have them take a walk under some bushes, but my attempts on that didn't make me happy, so this version it is which DOES make me happy 😊

11 colours from EDG77 this time.

Day 22 of #cosytober2025 : "Cosy"

How about a cosy fireplace? 😊 One can almost feel the warmth, hear the crackling and smell the wood...

Day 23 of #cosytober2025 : "Festive"

Here's a Christmas ornament hanging off a tree 😊

Sadly no timelapse today: the recording script kept crashing, and as I am also fighting some back pain today I didn't have the patience to debug this 😅

Day 24 of #cosytober2025 : "Seafoam"

Another drawing that is based on a self taken vacation picture and wonderful memories 😊

This one used a whopping 17 colors from EDG77! 😯

The Germans among you will know what tune I now have stuck in my head I hope... 😬

Day 26 of #cosytober2025 : "Game"

I was really looking forward to this prompt as early last week I had the idea to try my hand at a pixelart visual of one of my favourite cosy games, #Dorfromantik. I even did a quick test of the idea (will put that into a reply below) & loved that so much already that I almost couldn't wait for today 😄

Should I ever try my hand at a demake of that game, I now know how it'll look ^^

20 colours from EDG77!

Day 27 of #cosytober2025 : "Cloud"

Admittedly not the biggest work, but today was also a long work day so that's understandable I hope 😅

Day 28 of #cosytober2025 : "Hot Chocolate"

I prefer mine with chocolate bits rather than marshmallows 😉
