[[+-.Of Red and Blue Eyes.-+]]// -- Mystickal's Graphics Journal

Ah, and the year of the Rat has arrived. To commemerate this special and significant occasion, yours truly decided to spend a few hours of her time leisurely honing her pixel art skills, which might she say is seriously not up to scratch.

This was partially inspired by an idea Yong Ji and I had for the class banner design, which the class modified a little. Since I was too lazy to do a family of rats, or cute little field mice in a wheat field and whatnot, I just threw in random images which I connected to the phrase CNY in there. Of course topped with red and orange to fit the festive season. If I feel like it, I might do another of a different feel. Like maybe a replica of my class banner haha. Yes, I do realise that the 'fu' is inverted but heck! @_@ I'm too tired to change it.

I have no idea how people can do such elaborate designs with pixel art. I prefer mine to be compact so I can't really add in a lot of details. Instead to do so, I need to change the opacity of the pixel to make it seem like half the pixel is filled and the other not. Man, time to go make some anime-head pixels again. And no, I am not going to do the traditional chinese outfit. The flowers would kill my eyes and to do them, I need to make the pixel relatively big, which means it is very time consuming. Not possible with my homework load.

Anyway, hope everyone who celebrates it out there will have a properous new year!



To art thieves, don't bother. I have more than enough watermarks there to make sure the time needed to rid or try rid of them will make it not worth stealing. =D
