With this "how-about-making-a-pixel-art-showcase-place-for-you-as-well" invitation and the realization that the most recent (habbo-y) pixelart from my graphics folder is dated as hell (enough to make one curious on whether or not at least a tiny improvement of the world perception improved), it seemed convenient to show you something that isn't as old as those from the time life was easy but sketching a straight line wasn't. Sometimes you just forget how cool it is to draw alterations as the people that came before you used to, and how they can give some actual purpose to the maths you learnt since the past 15 years -- a double success, of course

the most frigging cool about the whole craft is that you're doing it for yourself then, if you fancy so, you have the creative license of drawing stuff that the elusive subordinates from sulake inc would never have a solid reason to put into the game's furniture catalogue - that being said, behold Hermeto Pascoal playing 2 notes from the cheapest piano from The Sims nonstop. It's not just about the cool hat and horse shoe: Hermeto Pascoal is the best musician from the entire Earth, you can tell Hermeto Pascoal knows what he is doing
2021 won't be an easy year at all, and it also seemed convenient to stay in touch with the person that helped to make things a little bit more bearable , let alone how it works as a visual "yo, thanks', at least on the tiniest intentional degree
Feedbacks of all nature welcome, for how disposable would the world be if all thought alike, right?
Now: let's take a look together at what happened before the drawing was fully drawn

https://i.imgur.com/NCUmZpZ.pngFriday - The moment I started the project and thought "I'll post it saying that it is the first minute of the project". That was the first minute of the project: a Habbo screenshot taken inside a LARGE empty HC room so you can have these isometric tiles that will work as a compass for you to isometrify anything you want

Theoretically, the sacred habbo tapestry will give you the correct coordinates, but I couldn't expect things to be miraculously well-harmonized just because I was a well-intended pest

Of course the definitive edition of the world's best plays-it-all should start off bell-shaped

Let's combine the fiasco from the previous 348357 attempts and take advantage of the GEOMETRY CLASS that the last couple of hours were with no intention of. Realistically, that hat looks a platter of pudding 2 milliseconds before being torn apart by gravity -- it can ilude you things are fine thru this perspective, but if you want to play with maths it'll always hit you back. He should be playing a piano. He has to play a piano - good excuse to draw one extra big object

Stupid gag idea (what for?) and the typical "phew" from the artist who sees it is starting to "look like something" (we're so ridiculous). If you have a sharp eye, you'll notice a couple of cubes within Hermeto: they were a good orientation point- if both of their extremities "touched", for example, the right and the left ear at the same time, that was a safe bet they've been drawn correctly, in spite of some other parameters used
https://i.imgur.com/RJC8s2I.png
Same thing as before, except the hat is a way more convincing "pudding" now

A good trick is putting several referencial images around your drawing, that gives yourself a quick validation of how you may know what you are doing - obviously the idea of giving him a sweaty-golden skin and HC looks were immediately declined seconds after they were a cogitation

and THAT was the moment it was internally decided that he HAD to be an animated element. nearly two minutes before everything was done - a huge mistake, you'd say. in practical terms, you won't decide to animate pieces containing more than 4 layers (some of them pointless) once they're on their finished stage, unless you are very stupid - it makes everything 43x more complicated than it was originally meant to be! but sometimes you just have to embrace your condition and keep imagining how cool it's going to be in the end, and plot twist, everything went half well

the completion instant via a poorly organized layout - it was in some extent a real trip: I'd love to tell you that "extratora" and "extrotora" are both Portuguese words that actually have a meaning and hint a lot about the content of the layer they represent, but it's not quite the case. Just some canvas adjustment since the reason why it is such a large image became obsolete, the classical 256 color depth conversion because we surely didn't the use all of the +120.000 shade choices that this extension gave us and some more minutes to decide its title
