Here we got Bombchu Girl taking her smoke break.

Also, 3-point perspective.

Well that's one way to do a hand study....

I present to thee: Waluigi in the Jeff Goldblum sexy pose. (Glamour shot portrait included)

Also, your friendly reminder that purple is fussy in this program.

Still working on form and poses. This is Jeff Andonuts from EarthBound. I was staying away from main characters for the most part. I was getting a little more comfortable with replicating features by this point.

I had recently figured out that blue was low enough in value that it could work as a subtler shadow color for most others. Here I inverted that: red was used as a shadow on the snagret.

Nice work with the stamp tool. Good sandwich, good drink.

KK Slider. More character study, a little bit of lighting. Getting more comfortable with single pixels to convey form.

I kinda like bsky being a "quiet platform. I'm still not sure if timelapses are great for this app in general, but timelapses are proof that I'm doing it in Mario Paint.

I noticed that I wasn't great at copying form, so I started painting nintendo characters. Funky Kong was the first in this series, and there were some genuinely fun pieces in this set!

New pfp to reflect the content and my hair/beard

A major hurdle after learning gradients was learning how to use them. I had done some work with clouds and shading, but the dust in this piece against the sky was something i was proud of.

This was the 2nd to last painting for cryptids and fantasy month. This is the creature from the black lagoon. I challenged myself to use NO blue in this piece, and it's one of my early favorites.

This piece felt unsatisfying to me until months after I finished it. I was still mixing colors with my grey tones, and I was losing saturation for it. I knew I had to grow, but I didn't know in which direction.

Disco Mothman. He dances like everyone is watching, and he's gonna show them how it's done.

I have an RCA to USB adapter, and I run that through OBS!

Oh just wait. I'm posting my backlog. These are from October of 2024. February 2025 is when I started to get good, and now I'm on a whole other level.

This was me trying fire for the first time. Lots of attempts prior to this, but I came out with something somewhat successful here.

More "scenes-in-scenes" to refine my use of scale. 248 x 168 doesn't seem like a lot, but it's an overwhelming pixel space bc the roller mouse is meh. More transparency, more patterns, more water.

Back in 2024 I was painting Cryptids and Fantasy during October. I knew I wanted to do the Jersey Devil, but didn't know how. Someone suggested, "Paint him in New Jersey! WAIT! Paint him as TONY SOPRANO!"

I mentioned earlier that I was trying to get better rendering water and fabric. I painted La Llorona and this was was the best attempt I'd made. Lighting was starting to feel natural.

I was recreating the brick process for this piece. Then I had a funny idea. Behold: The Wizzard

By this time I knew how to do landscapes. I was testing out water and form with this, and got reminded that I didn't know how to do either. Still had to keep practicing, but the failed attempts were starting to look ok.

I was really into getting more control at this time. focusing on contours, materials, and pixel scale. The shadows on the easel/shirt, the fur, and the smaller painting all helped with this.

A very fun one: sphinx cat in a salon chair. When I work on a piece like this I forget that it's only 248 x 168 pixels.

The next batch of paintings are themed "cryptids and fantasy" from Oct 2024.

This was the first time I tried realistic portrayal in Mario Paint. The process I use on the glass of wine is what I use to this day for transparency.

I studied theatrical lighting and scenery in college, but it wasn't until people started paying me that I actually developed those skills. My time around light helped me massively as I learned to paint.

It's so difficult to render 3d shadows in animated pixelspace! I see your work and I hope you keep exercising this talent!

The first attempt at the cow was mangled, so I had to give it another go. I blocked out each of the planes with diff colors as a form study first. The diving board worked out. I was listening to ska while painting this.
