did this to warm up, loved it too much to not take seriously.

the journal that i stuck my 'making bad art is good for you' sticker on, has started frustratingly well

Made this a while ago, not long after the other custom icons I've posted. It was a fun exercise, trying to mimic the toon shading of Donut County by hand.

From the archives, 2019: other redstone bits and pieces I made for the first version of Live! Ores. These ones really didn't show up well in-game but I loved looking at them in my folder!

It took me a few tries to remember what graphic design was like in the '90s, but I think I sort of got there!

From the archives, ~2019-2020: My original redstone and gold block designs. Neither of them transferred well to the native resolution, and I'm still incredibly proud of the rendering work even now.

From the archives: Mushrooms 2020, a redraw of a piece I made because a friend of mine loves fungi. This edition was a candidate for replacing the "Bust" Minecraft painting in my resource pack, before I scaled almost everything down to native resolution and made it tiny.

It took me so long to post this here because the little guy sitting under the mushroom is an alien OC I made up many years ago with a mildly absurd name, and after much internal debate about how to introduce him here, I've decided I just Won't. This draft has been sitting for over half a year. Be free.

Aw Neat! ...My gouache works on top of my paint markers!

Here's a quick status update on Daff's Live! Packs: personal circumstances have changed enough since I started these resource packs, that I've had to reconsider my plans for continuing active updates. A huge part of that is that I don't really play Minecraft anymore!

Arguably it's been long enough since I last uploaded that I'm sure most users had good reason to assume that I had already stopped development on them.

However.

I do have a whole host of un-uploaded font parts for extending the character range, which I will be happy to wrangle into a usable font extension, IF someone expresses interest in using them with the packs.

This has been a fun project of mine, and I've enjoyed making it for myself and others. I hope y'all enjoy the rest of what I put up here in the future.

I like the way this one turned out, with almost no planning. It lets me see how these five paint markers look next to each other at a glance!

It's the firefox! Zooming through the web to reach the link it's looking for.

I had a thumbnail draft of this for months, and finally realised the piece today, all in one go!

Original design context is provided below the cut, and at the series tag.

Here's a modification of a tile I made and tried for my old high resolution minecraft texture set.

You can see the original version in my blog header - if someday you can't, then I'll add a readmore to this post with a preview.

The new offset in tiling works surprisingly well with the 32x32 tile.

I opened up the work document for my space cactus piece from 2021, hid a couple of layers, and decided I liked it more without them.

I've placed the original below the cut for comparison (and the original post is still in #dafflemisc).
