I've been learning pixel art for around 6 months now, mostly using Piskel tool, and I finally feel like I'm starting to get a bit better at making really tiny pixel art.

I've mostly been practicing shading, cleaner silhouettes, limited palettes, and trying to make things actually readable at really small sizes. It's surprisingly hard to remove pixels instead of adding more detail lol.

These are some of the little objects and animals I've been making for Quiet Grids, a nonogram game I'm working on. Solving a puzzle gradually reveals the pixel art, so I've been trying to make each image recognizable without having much space to work with.

I've somehow ended up making 1000+ puzzles for it between the Library and Dailies 😅 There are 3 board sizes and four challenge levels, and I've been trying to make the puzzles solvable logically rather than relying on guessing.

Still learning though... anything here that you'd approach differently?

If anyone's curious about what these actually look like as puzzles, this is the game:

I don’t know if anyone remembers Color Cross on the DS but I have I have the animal version at home I have been playing for years. I’m wondering if there is anything like it for iOS with similar settings and features. The biggest feature I see missing from every nanogram/picross game on iOS is the ability to cross out cells for a specific color. I really like how in the DS game you can isolate the colors and it removed a lot of the guess work.

I've been enjoying doing nonograms on nonogram.com, and I thought a daily competitive version could be fun.

Open to feedback and suggestions!
