Anticipation

I was inspired to create this when I won a postcard and sticker pack giveaway on twitter by my friend Stefanie, and I was eagerly waiting for it to arrive! I actually did this a while ago but I forgot to post it here.

Go check out Stefanie’s work, it’s amazing. Thanks for the goodies Stef!

Celestial

Only a few days after the last inspiring pixel dailies prompt, another one appeared that I couldn’t resist - “Celestial”. I had three ideas for it immediately but I only had time to do the one above on the day. I’m glad I spaced them out anyway because I think I achieved a lot with the extra time.

The second idea I worked on was originally only a planet-rise over some mountains, but it evolved quite a bit as I worked on it until it was about spaceships racing over a peaceful alien village.

I’m quite pleased with the palette and animation on this one.

The final concept I only completed yesterday, a view of the night sky through some trees.

Catnip

I put together an animation over the last few weeks of a cat trying to catch gliders on a 70’s styled computer. Check it out on YouTube:

I actually only set out to draw the computer, and I’m not sure at what point the cat entered the picture, but I’m glad it did! My goal wasn’t to depict any specific vintage computer, but to create a somewhat implausible one from imagination. I did look at a bunch of references for ideas on what to include, mostly from oldcomputers.net

Music

I had originally planned to create a patch in VCVRack to accompany the animation, but I struggled to create something that felt right for the animation. Several attempts to create something in LMMS also failed. I ended up putting something together in beepbox.
