Chibi Kasuka Na Kaori Nocchi, I'll Make A Sticker From This Picture

while looking references for penny I fell in the neverending hole of animal crossing creepypasta haha

I’m still not over at how cute Etoile is??? tbh the sanrio collab is everything I wanted from animal crossing

for Lucy because she's so pretty u//v//u

Little my

My waifu ♥... I just adore little my's character, I find it interesting that her name actually refers to an incredibly small number, (one millionth) she's that small ;v;

And 2x version

I have a personal grudge against Annalise, because she created her house in the spot where I wanted absolutely no villagers, destroyed my paths, killed hybrid flowers, snakes manifested physically in my house... but i still tried my best to draw her nice

(I'm not sorry)

can you sleep in a golbat’s mouth

I like how fish fins work, they’re so delicate...

Since some people asked me to explain how do I do pixel art/show them the program I use, I decided to do both things...some basic info about the program, shortcuts and the explanation for the tools can be found under the cut.

Welcome to this tutorial for GraphicsGale (shortened Gale from now on) I'm sorry if some things don't make sense, english is not my first language, you're free to correct me if you want, I'll try my best to answer questions if you have them. Enjoy.

So, first things first, What is Gale? it's a graphics program by Human Balance co. focused on pixel art, it can be found on it's official site and there you can download it there too. I highly recomend buying it if you liked it, it's not expensive at all and it's awesome.

For this first part I'll just talk about very basic stuff like tools and such, so let's take a look at the program itself.

It doesn't look intimidating does it? I even broke up the menus in pretty colors, yay!

1.- (red) it's a normal menu, like any other program has. I'll be talking about specifics later on, while I explain how to do stuff.

2.- (orange) basic actions icons, it's basically a condensed menu; I'll list the icons, hover up on the words if you want more specific info. New file, Open file, Browse, Save | Undo, Redo |Cut, Copy, Paste | Paste as a new image | Zoom | Grid, Custom Grid, Grid snap | Onion Skin

3.- (yellow) Tools, again, I'll list the icons, hover for a more specific explanation on each icon. Magnifier, Image Mover, Rectangular Selection, Oval Selection, Lasso, Magic Wand, Color Selection, Pencil, Connect line, Spline Curve, Rectangle, Filled rectangle, Oval, Filled Oval, Flood fill, Color Replacer, Draw text | Antialias, Transparent, Paint mode

4.- (green) Layers menu; New Layer, Duplicate Current Layer, Delete Layer, Combine Layers | Previous Layer, Next Layer | Properties of the Current Layer (I don't think I need to explain any of these)

5.- (cyan?) Animation stuff; Add frame, duplicate frame, delete frame | previous frame, next frame | properties of current frame | cut frame, copy frame, paste frame | Play, Pause

6.- (blue) your current document window, here I have a gif with 4 frames opened. as you can see the document only shows me one frame at a time, but if you have the preview window open you can see the animation and you can find the frames in the Frame

7.- (purple) Extras! this is another important part of the program, this program has a lot of specific things that are meant for making your life easier at pixelling, you can call the extras in the menu view, and they are Frame, Layer, Palette, Preview and Loupe, I always have the first 4 opened at any given time as they are pretty useful, I don't really see the point in the loupe, but maybe you will...

Now, some important tips that you may be interested in.

You can dock windows so they're not floating around like I did with the frames window, simply go to the options (the arrow), select "dockable" and drag the window to whatever corner you want, you'll notice the outline changes when it's docked.

You can keep windows collapsed so they don't use space, like I did with the layers and palette, simply select auto hide in the options menu

You can save a lot of time with shortcuts and button mappings, this program comes with some stupid button mapping (for example, ctrl + or ctrl - aren't the default mapping for zooming in and out), so if you're used to another program, you can make them match. Simply go to File > Preferences and change them to your hearts content (or if you dont want to change anything, learn what the shortcuts are)

I hope you guys find this useful, I'll cover basic pixel drawing on the next tutorial...

One of my new year resolutions is to post something everyday, Another is to play at least one game from every genre to avoid judging games based on what I've seen, and another is to improve my pixel stuff...

Here you have them three combined. I played Hatoful boyfriend, a dating sim game today and it's hilarious, the first route I took was with this one, Nageki, the shy mourning dove. And it made me cry... Yup, I cried over a fictional pigeon boyfriend, wonderful way to start the year!

you guys may not know but I'm nuts for fkmt work and one of my most loved babus is zero...

I did this on my DS, sorry it's so messy... I kinda only focused of the nose
