I needed a wallpaper for a dumbphone I bought, so I made one, using one of my photos as a reference. The original is 128x160, this one was upscaled 8x using NN sampling for clarity

Nice, it's soothing and looks really realistic in the thumbnail to be so simple. What program do you use for pixel art?

Good 'ol paint.net, for which I still have to fire up a VM, because no other Linux program can replicate the workflow. I tried many, and out of all of them Pinta and Krita were relatively close, but still far from what I was used to, before I switched operating systems. I could technically try dedicated pixel art programs, but I'm more than fine working with what I got.

Have you tried out mtPaint?

This is the first time I hear of it, actually. I'll check it out!

Do! It's ancient but it may do what you need. I have made pixel art with it before

I checked it out but I'm afraid I'm already way too rooted into paint.net to invest my time into learning mtP 😅 Still a neat program, though! Its age gives it a nice charm to it.

The dithering is so pretty

Looks like a title screen background for ocarina of time!
