It's a good idea to paint fast because it forces me to decide what I want in and what not.

DPL2012-64 solar powered robotic survival machine. Loaded myself into the laptop, have my pizza heater with solar intensifyer, marlboro and lighter pod, and root beer storage compartment. Made with my laptop, electric toro lawnmower,camera tripod,igloo cooler, small electric motor from a model, magnifying glass, pizza pan, clamps and pipes, alligator clips, solar charging panel from my old boat...I'm all set now

This is my first pixel art ever. I've tried plenty of times, but it's so contrary to how I normally draw that I've never actually finished before. It sure does take a long while though, since I'm basically clicking pixels one by one on my laptop trackpad or sometimes a mouse.

I liked setting up the palette and tried to give it a range of values with only 3-4 colors in a set and 3 sets (brown, green, blue grey). You can see that I kept changing the palette a lot of times, right up to the end. The third to the last revision has the full palette that I actually used, not counting the background color that I set to be the same as the page background so it'd look transparent. 11 colors in total, including the (transparent) background. The final has 8 layers, not counting a few layers that I deleted before I was done.

I had to restart this twice because this weird thing kept happening. When I was drawing fast and my brush hit the top left corner of the canvas it'd just freeze. I couldn't draw, close the floated drawing window, submit, or anything. My browser as a whole was pretty slow too, but not frozen. It's happened before, and it's always when I'm drawing fast and my brush hits the top left corner and goes a little off the canvas.
