Strawberry1 Pixel Art: Live Feed

PixiStar

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 19:00:00 GMT

I've been away for a while I was busy getting married. I had an awesome in China. It was a great trip, but really exhausting.

I'm working on a new site, PixiStar.com.

It's going to be a pixel art community with a heavy focus on dolling. I'm working on the base search engine right now, and I have to say I am really excited, and I think it's going to be great.

I'll post more about the idea later, but right now I need some alpha testers. I have a few girls helping me out but I really want to squash as many bugs as I can, and more help is necessary

If you want to be an alpha tester, leave me a comment, or contact me through my contact form or shoutbox.

New Doll: Ink

Thu, 09 Apr 2009 17:00:00 GMT

Oh no, this doll spilled her inkwell...Now it's raining ink for some reason. Good thing she has her umbrella.

Plaid pleated skirts are a pixeling nightmare, by the way.

This time, for the hair, I backed off from the high contrast look, but kept the shine and the many partitions. I like how it came out.

New Doll: Angel Doll

Sat, 21 Feb 2009 17:00:00 GMT

This is a baseless doll for now. I might release the base later, when I get a chance to make some more poses for it.

I wanted to try to make hair in the detailed style that some dollers have been using. I did cheat and tool a bit. The outfit isn't much, and I'm not too happy with the wings. But I do think that I managed to be consistent with the direction that the wind was blowing things.

Some Things

Sat, 31 Jan 2009 17:00:00 GMT

I have not really posted much lately, but thanks for being here. I have been very busy with work and life, and not pixeling very much at all.

There are a few things that I've been meaning to get to.

Comments. Thanks for the comments on my posts and pixels. The comments have to be approved before they are posted, so you don't have to post multiple times, I will get to it.

Not all fields are required when you make a comment, but if you don't leave a name and website, and your comment doesn't make any sense, it won't be posted.

My shoutbox hasn't been working since I moved to a new host a year ago. Thanks for your posts, I am not deleting them on purpose.
My tutorials. I wanted to do a different style of tutorial than the low-info, lots of image kind that I see a lot of. Many of those tuts are great for really visual learners, but having only tutorials on how to make a really specific pixel on pixel art sites doesn't encourage creativity.
A lot of you don't like it, that's cool. There is room for all kinds of tutorials.
Other stuff.
I hope that I can start pixeling more soon, but what I really want to do is finish perfecting this blog softaware. It is OK for just me to use, but I would like to let other pixel artists use it for their own blogs. Right now, it is too buggy and terrible for that.

Thanks again for your visit.

New Doll: Undead Doll

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 17:00:00 GMT

Corrupted Carousel is a new board that I started going to after Eden-Enchanted closed. I have not really been active though.

CC has a trend of 'corupted' avatars, and I decided to make one. The character is not really anyone, but I like this avatar (Except for the shoes, which don't show in the 150x200px version that I actually use as an avatar).

The base is Destiny, by myself.

New Adoptable Pixels

Tue, 01 Jan 2008 16:00:00 GMT

Happy new year, everyone!

I know there have been a lot of errors on the site lately. I'm trying to fix them, but I took on too many projects and fell behind again. I'm starting to really hate looking at my current layout, but I know from reading my Google Analytics stats that you guys visit the website for an average of 2-3 minutes. It might not have worn on you yet, like it has for me. And even if it has, I know that you are all way too polite to say anything

I haven't posted for a while, but I have some more tutorials allmost ready to go. When I was writing tutorials, I made these adoptable pixels. They are all kitties, I hope that you enjoy them.

Click on any one of them to see more info or adopt. You can view or adopt these (or any other pixels marked 'adoptable') from my Pixels section.

Phone Pixels Apple iPhone

I've got a new pixel phone for you: The Apple iPhone.

It only comes in black, but there is an animated, and non-animated version.

Shiny, shiny.

Please go ahead and adopt, but remember to link me. It would be great if you told me when you use them, but as long as there's credit it's not required.

New Adoptable Cel Phone Pixels LG Chocolate Phone

Sat, 13 Oct 2007 17:00:00 GMT

Hi. I've just made a small set of adoptable cel phone pixels.

I was looking at pics of the LG Chocolate, and when I saw the strawberry chocolate phone (the pink one) I thought that it would be fun to pixel them

Here are the animated ones:

Or the non-animated ones if you prefer:

I hope that you like these and can use them. I think that I might pixel some other phones.
