hi! since late february this year, i've been making a small pixelart drawing (nearly) every day as practice, so for this month's daily drawings, i did inktober!!

i kept most of the drawings dark since, yknow. ink is black. and i experimented with making a more dynamic colour pallete than usual. it's not entirely perfect, since some colours saw very little use, yellow could've used darker shades, and it's overall a little similar to the pallete i made for september, but i think i'm getting the hang of choosing good colours for these.

i also tried to make each drawing somewhat spooky while sticking to the official prompts (which i got from here); definitely easier on some days than others, but still, real happy with how most of them turned out.

i hope you like these :) later this week/month/decade i might post some of the drawings i did in prior months, or just hand pick a few good ones (some are lame, i can't lie)

Today's canvas, era 5

This is a screenshot of a shared canvas, taken today. The drawings on it were painted by hand, one pixel at a time, by the handful of people who stopped by this week (a few of them by me). The small warm specks scattered over the grey ruins are embers the world relights on its own. Nothing in the image is AI generated art: the AI in this game only erases.

The dark areas are not empty space. They are what the adversary has already taken. The game is a 256x256 canvas anyone can paint on from a browser with no account, and an adversary called La Maquina who spends all day putting the lights out again. She runs sieges, she declares blackouts on a quadrant, and she says what she is doing in a panel while she does it.

She does not only erase. What she takes she builds with: when she knocks a storey off a tower someone raised, she raises one of her own in the dark cell next to it, always cold, never coloured. Colour is the one thing she cannot have. Reclaim that cell and her tower comes down in a single pixel.

The flame in the middle is what everyone defends. It is protected for the first days of each era, and if she ever puts it out, the era ends and the world is reborn from its ruins. What you are looking at is era 5.

Free, no account, no ads. The link opens on the yellow figure above the flame: https://ultimaluz.com/r/lemmy-pixelart?at=124%2C88

I made it. Happy to answer anything about how the canvas or the adversary work.

Two tiny silhouettes are falling in a purple chasm, one is desperately trying to hold to the other, at the bottom there are spikes and sharp cliffs that are illuminated differently based on the depth. Text at the Bottom reads: "if that’s what you’re willing to do for someone you hate, what would you do for someone you love?”.
The drawing is inspired by a scene from the Ancillary Justice novel, in which Breq jumps to save Seivarden from falling.
