It's beautiful, isn't it?


I've never seen this kind of sky for myself. I hope someday, I might be able to.

My long-distance vision kinda sucks, so even if I did, I probably couldn't see it super clearly. But sometimes, if the stars are out, I can't seem to look away.

There's just something so... captivating about a starry sky. Something so innately beautiful. Something magical, enchanting.

It becomes even more poetic when you realize that we're made of stardust, that we've spent thousands of years staring at the origin of our existence... in awe of it's beauty.

I tried to capture the feelings I get from staring at the stars, and married it with pictures of starry skies I've seen. I definitely pulled it off for myself, and I hope it hits for you too.

We're very small, you know. As a galaxy, a solar system, a planet, a species. A person.

Sometimes we feel weak, and powerless. That's not exactly untrue. There are times when everything feels so huge and overwhelming. It can be that.

But I think, when we look up at the vastness of the cosmos, and it's beauty, we're reminded that doesn't have to be purely a bad thing. That there's some value in accepting that our place is simply here, in this galaxy, this solar system, standing here on earth, with the people we live alongside, struggling along in our own tiny lives. It doesn't have to be great, to be good.

And yet we always seek for something more, don't we? That's not entirely a bad thing either.

We want to change the world. Even if, realistically, we... really can't heh.

But you don't have to change the world, to change another persons world. We affect those tiny things called human lives every day, and often more than we know.

And I think, just as much as the stars, that can be a very beautiful thing.

Go out there and do it then. That beauty is too precious to waste.

And I hope, that I was and am able to do that a little bit for you. ^.^

Also, I think I made this couch look even better.

It's slowly looking more and more like it's undeniably a couch which also doesn't look like garbage!

Some people were talking about failure and I wrote this

Oh btw if you wanna join a crazy discord server for RM devs where this is by far the least unhinged thing said : https://discord.gg/cnB2gKxN

#GJAsks if I could only play one game, what would it be. Answer is pretty easy, it's Minecraft.

With mods that game can become practically anything, and I could even make adventure maps and stuff instead of games, since I wouldn't be able to.

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

Working on remaking the sprite for this absolute abomination of an enemy.

Think I might've posted about these guys before. If not well-

@ilta is a Jolter to Watch! She's your local elven blacksmith! She creates pixel art, swords, chainmail, and more! Follow her before the quest ends on February 4 and you'll get Coins!

What do you think the furniture in the corner is?

This is still 100% the kinda thing I struggle to depict in this style but I feel like you can actually tell what it's supposed to be XD

I'm really tired today, but have this lil thing for Lilith's hair design.

Might play with it a bit more, thinking of making the hair straight rather than jaggy but idk yet.

Also, was planning on doing a poll about eyes next, but idk. What do you think?

Liliths (they/she) eyes are usually closed, but when they do open, they look something like this.

With everything else decided, I'm going to start playing with outfit ideas. Polls coming soon. Or maybe an art stream? Idk.
