Just wanted to comment on the changes to my standards. The right represents my early work from 2009. It was actually a fair amount of effort to not overdo the left since I wanted it to be my standard not my high end.

Mindful Meditation

Be sure to practice mindful meditation every day.
I don't actually know what those words mean. Let me look that up.
Formal mindfulness, or meditation, is the practice of sustaining attention on body, breath or sensations, or whatever arises in each moment. Informal mindfulness is the application of mindful attention in everyday life.

Staying on the track of sprites this is more actually one. It has a 4 frame walk cycle and a special jump frame. I didn't realize I was working so small until after this was already finished. I animated and zoomed in using Photoshop. I wanted to add some animation to the top of him, but because it's so small I couldn't do any subtle motion in the tail or bob the head without it looking like a major move.

Stand Tall

It's nice to shift back to the relatively limited medium of pixel art. Well, more like spriting really than the broader pixel art. I mean I kind of always do that... Working with a limited color palette and small canvas. It's just a single sprite though, not like a full blown sprite sheet.
This is a truly domineering fowl.

Color Outline

Colored lines in black. I like the general look of it though it kind of makes me feel like it should properly be done as neon. I have no idea how to work in that medium though. I assume I need special tools.

I was playing with a wacom, but I still get thrown off by the using a pen and writing on a different thing. Well, I usually use a mouse though. Appreciate the artistic merit that is undoubtedly found in these scribbles. Maybe I would get more out of it if I weren't still using MS Paint.

Blanket Time

Just wrap yourself up in a blanket and go to bed. By which I mean I should be asleep already. That doesn't look like a soft and cuddly blanket. Looks more like a cheap dollar-store sheet or something.
