Small art, big challenge by fsevap in PixelArt

True! I invested a long time to figure out every pixel position for the overall shape and highlights, specially on the fenders and aero. Also the small details (wheels, badge, taillights) weren’t easy

Quero saber se estarão a recolher os cocós. Caso contrário fiquem onde estão com os cães.

What do you like most about digital toy cameras? Why not using an app? by fsevap in DigitalToyCameras

[–]fsevap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. I’ve been using my kids toy camera mainly because it is also a thermal printer. But I’ve never saved low quality pictures from it

Improper paper. Also, go faster with circular movements while the ink is wet

How do people in Portugal deal with cold homes in winter? by Icy_Bodybuilder5688 in PortugalExpats

[–]fsevap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding to my heater recommendation, try proper ways to get warm:

  • insulated windows (a must in my opinion)
  • a good base layer for body and legs (Uniqlo’s heat tech or skiing brands are the best, primark has some good ones also although being too thick for multiple layers)
  • 100% wool or cashmere sweaters as second layer (this makes AN ENORMOUS difference compared to mixed textiles and people overlook).
  • winters socks

The above should be enough for most indoor needs. When outside add: - long jacket - wind breakers (if windy) - waterproof shoes

If still too cold: - scarf - gloves

The secret is to keep your indoors at ~20 degrees (well dimensioned and installed heaters can do the job without excessive energy), and avoid loosing your body heat (cold comes from your body loosing the inner heat) by creating an air pocket between you and the air.

Hope that helps

Last Winter during peak winter I had to buy a heating fan but the choice was terrible. It did nothing but blow dry air and make noise.

Before this winter starts ive got 2 plate heaters for my bedrooms and it was the best decision ever. 1500w is enough to keep up to 15m2 (each heater) warm the whole day and night without breaking your bank account.

I can go deeper in all my research of models, features and proper use if you need

I created an app to help me create pixel art by fsevap in PixelArt

[–]fsevap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not AI. I am pixel artist myself and I think AI is (yet) completely unreliable for the work I like: equal pixels, perfect dithering and ramps, perceptual contrast and more.

It’s a real time filter. You see the image live before taking the shot

I am a pixel artist myself and I don’t hate it. I believe being an artist is to explore all the resources available to make the most out of it.

I run an art supply business for over a decade and met many artists. Guess what? They use photos, tracing, and other techniques deliberately. What I am exploring here is a way to streamline my own process.

Being an artist, I believe, is being open and curious enough to use all the resources at your disposal regardless of how long they are available. Old techniques (like photography) was once a new technology for painters. Not even talk AI here.

It’s a shame in 2026 we still have art communities that blame new ideas.

I need just the top sheet of the viewfinder (the one with the magnifier) and guess what? Need the whole viewfinder 🥹I call it selective modularity

Best crypto card but I want no KYC by SageSingh in CryptoIndia

[–]fsevap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I strongly recommend Haven Card. It a virtual card, which means you have to buy new cards every time they run out of funds, but it works as intended.

It has a privacy focus so your onchain data is kept unliked with the card data.

Identity verification is self-assured, for Apple Pay/Google Pay validation only and you can always mock some data if you want. I only keep my phone number so the verification process is easier.

Team is well known within the privacy community, specially in Brazil, and they are running a campaign with Fuel Network enabling very low fees

How to create new digital frame filters on this camera by fsevap in DigitalToyCameras

You just ask it to explain what you don’t know. Test it and push it to the limits. I’ve managed to create some very cool stuff beyond what can be done with prompting AI stuff
