YES! We have a date! Finally can get my 100% achievements rate back (the sneaky bastards added achievements already before they released the DLC to get them).

Reference Pixel

First artwork of 2025. I tried to retain the expressiveness of my pixel paintings but also clean it up and make the clusters at the edges reminiscent of impressionistic painting where there are abstract blobs of color that slowly get representational towards the center.

Clouds practice #3, this time from my own reference with colors mostly picked plein air at a different sunset with similar conditions (Atari 2600 palette, as always).

A quick one, clouds practice #4.

After a long time a new ZX Spectrum work. 6 colors, no bright mode. Drawn in Pixquare and dithered in GIMP.

That's some top point-and-click character and environment pixel art! Kathy Rain 2 is out now: store.steampowered.com/app/1466390/Ka…
