it seems like the general sentiment is that townhouses still pencil over stacked flats (maybe I'm mistaken). But also I remember seeing that stacked flats are getting built in Spokane, so maybe they pencil better in some circumstances? or maybe the Spokane market is just different idk

a pixel art illustration of a large dog, resting in a stone pool filled with water and plants while a small girl in a red dress approaches it. In the corner, a stature of a woman pours water into the pool.

A screenshot of a tumblr post reading:

"Title: So you want to learn pixel art? 
Subtitle: Part 1 of ??? - The Basics!

Hello, my name is Tofu and I'm a professional pixel artist. I have been supporting myself with freelance pixel art since 2020, when I was let go from my job during the pandemic."

Two images comparing artistic improvement, the left is of a rudimentary tree, and the right is of a statue in a wall recess surrounded by plants and dappled light.

"My progress, from 2017 to 2024. IMO the only thing that really matters is time and effort, not some kind of natural talent for art.

This guide will not be comprehensive, as nobody should be expected to read allat. Instead I will lean heavily on my own experience, and share what worked for me, so take everything with a grain of salt. This is a guide, not a tutorial. Cheers!"

I never posted this here, but I made a pretty big write-up over on Tumblr for anyone interested in learning #pixelart!
It's a guide on software, fundamentals, jargon and resources.

Since links are legal on Bsky I can share it: www.tumblr.com/tofupixel/75...

Hope someone finds it useful!

A pixel art scene depicting a purple toned night time scene. There are neon pink clouds in the distance, over a cityscape. There are large towers, with neon teal lights, with smaller suburban buildings in the midground.

The focal point is a lavender colored tree, glowing by being illuminated by a street light above it. There's scattered leaves below, and a reflective puddle on the asphalt below.
