I found out about it from Facebook when I was looking up avatar websites. You wouldn't believe how many pages I came across that were dead and no longer working on the project. I liked the page to see what will happen next. Then the next thing I knew, it was active again and posting updates. I joined the discord server as soon as they posted the link. I haven't talked in there in a while, but it was pretty fun.

@ChemicalDivision: Well, at the moment, I have to clean the bathroom and the kitchen. After that, I need to finish up on some pixel art for an art trade. Around noon, I'm probably gonna go out and play some pathfinder with a group. Fun fun.
I hope you have fun at the wedding at least. :) Those can always be fun.

@ChemicalDivision: Morning.

@Yuracye: Yeah... It is... I'm gonna see about making it on a bigger base and hope for the best. But the last time I did that, it looked way too bulky! Dx I'm gonna have to study some pixeled xenomorphs.
Aw man, I wish I had a recent sample of a skirt I drew. I have no idea where it is though. It looked ok, but shading them is always hard.

I'll try and get the animations done today after I do some cleaning in my apartment. It will be done. Your spokeswoman will be the first one animated since she will take the longest to do. I'm not sure how many frames I want to do of her yet. But its gonna be more than 6, that is for sure.

Aw! I love it! It really did shade pretty!
Yeah, legs can be hard. Its part of the reason why I usually draw bust shots. I hate drawing feet. xD They end up looking like paws.

@AelloTyphoeus: Its all good. Maybe some other time then.
And yeah, that is all you really can do with that stuff. You just have to play around with it and hope for the best.

@AelloTyphoeus: Oh yeah, definitely. :) If you want to, we can do a skype session and I can show you how I do things. Sunday might be the best day for me to do that. I don't have anything planned that day.

@AelloTyphoeus: My only recommendation is to start off with either a medium or large base. You can try for a small base too, if you want to. Just make sure to look up tutorials on how to pixel things too. Its really helpful. :) Also, try to make color pallets of what you are working with on various shades. Its really helpful that way.

Start off with one of these bases.
Simple chibi base
Plush Bunny Icon Base
Icon base 1
Icon base 2

Oh! Forgot to mention this, use layers on pixel art! It is really important that you do that or you might end up erasing part of the base if you did an oopsie! Trust me, I've done that countless times. xD

@AelloTyphoeus: Err.... I kinda got mine for free. ^^;; I did actually look it up to see how much it was, but it was in UK moneys. Plus I don't remember how I found the website. I can send you the file by email, if you want. I have the zip file on my google drive some where.

@Yuracye: I was thinking about it, but xeno tails are so hard to pixel. :vanora_cry: Look at that tail. It looks bent. :( The one that is on my profile of her human forum, I didn't even add the tail in for that one! Plus it would have gotten lost in the background. ^^;;
I know, right? Pixeling skirts are kinda hard as it is, especially on that tiny base!

Yeah... I probably delete mine every so often.... But not often enough.
I love it so far! I haven't done the last one yet, mostly because my mind is kinda preoccupied on other things at the moment. I'm gonna get the 3 others animated at least. I'll try to do that tonight, but I can't make any promises.

@AelloTyphoeus: All I can say is that you can join me on Skype and I can do a pixel live stream for you on there. Its the best way of showing my process, really.

DeviantART is one, you can find a ton of free pixel bases on there. I had a few, but I took it off since I kinda freaked and was gonna try and quit. Pink Land, KawaiiHannah (really popular with people starting out on pixel bases), and Pixistar are a few base sites that I've found though various searches.

I mostly use Paint Tool Sai for my work, and found this for erasing any stray pixels or oopsies. There are a ton of free pixel making apps on Google play, but I can't give you a recommendation on what to use for those. I usually use Piskel for my animations, if I don't directly do it in Sai and upload the frames to gifmaker. The good thing about this one is that you can save it as its own file and stuff. You can even save the frame process too. :) You can upload pixel base files to it as long as it isn't save as a .psd or .sai file. The only downfall is that there is no cropping. :(

I saw Pixilart thought an add on Facebook, but I never checked it out. I'm not sure if you can do the same thing as you can with Piskel though...

If anything, good ol' MS paint can be your friend on pixel art. :) Just make sure the file isn't a transparent .png file. ^^;; It will black out the background, and if the line art of the base was black, say good bye if you clicked the background to white.

@ChemicalDivision: I usually give him scraps of raw meat. He loves it! But I'd cook the chicken though. He loves beef, just stating that now. -Fluffy drools at hearing the word beef-

@ChemicalDivision: -Fluffy screeches wanting treats-

@ChemicalDivision: Ok, I'll take your word for it.
-he nuzzles your hand-

@Yuracye: Luckly for me, I found the bottle file! :D But I need to do a sample of one eventually. Dx I haven't done those since last year.
Now I'm debating on buying one of these bases. One person voted for this one, and another person voted for this one. I might buy the 2nd one since I kinda favor standing bases over sitting ones. ^^;;

Lol, if only I was the same way. I need to clean my computer of old art files. I have a crap ton that was done from last year, both pixel and drawn, that were for other people.
I understand on that. :) Plus she is super cute!
I did, but no one has said anything yet. Plus they have a SUPER long list.
