#79 Castles
I post this today, hoping that I will be able to do something better tomorrow.
Recently I feel like this site is the only thing stopping me from abandoning this whole thing. The solid proof that sometimes it's really just worse and sometimes better. That we can't control everything, and bad times do not mean that nothing good will come out of it in the future.
Also, I think making Ide so cute was a giant blunder. This pixel is low effort and terrible even for me, but I just can't not smile looking at her.

These diagonal poses in low-resolution pixels are absolutely obnoxious to make.

It's not possible to start with the eyes, so I had to sketch some head shape. I changed it dozens of times but never got it quite right.

Empty, devoid of hope eyes... she is just like me fr fr

Much better, but the face still looks weird.

At least the head isn't flat like usual. One step up and roll down the staircase—that's my method.

I think the shadow on top isn't really necessary. Generally, pretty poor job, Citrus.
But I did it. A bad try is better than no try at all, even if I don't feel like I can say it with conviction.
Anyway, thank you for stopping by. Even on those bad posts. Bad is also part of the life.
