I'm absolutely terrible at drawing, so lately I've been getting into pixel art to communicate the ideas I have in my head more clearly, since I can use a mou...

Thanks! I've always loved the different shades of darkness one sees in the nighttime, so it's a visual idea I'm more familiar with. I'm glad you liked them.

And if you have any interest in trying to make your own pixel art (even if it's just more weird pokemon lol), I recommend aseprite. Really good and easy to use program, it's what I've been using.

There's a long stretch of farmland that we'd have to drive through to get to my grandma's house when I was a kid and in that stretch way in the distance were hundreds of wind turbines all with blinking lights on them. They would all blink in unison and in the dark it was very cool to see.
I actually drove past them recently and noticed that a few of the lights are now out of sync with the rest. Not sure if those are new turbines or ones that got damaged or what happened. But just those few ruin that magic that once was.

Woland That train is something else, and I can’t get over the airplane tower; I thought I was the only one ever mesmerized by those as a kid.

From one creative to another.

And here I was thinking I was the only one entranced by cell towers at night! Also, funny that windmills get brought up, as I'm currently working on a gif of windmills. They are... a lot harder to animate than cell towers.

Thank you for the kind words, but you haven't seen my pen+paper drawings. There's a reason I created a pixel art thread instead of posting in the normal drawing thread, I'll say that much.

Lain

You said that you're terrible at drawing but those are all quite nice!

I love cell towers so much it's unreal.

Trondei

Oh, cell towers. I just remember people explaining the lights are to tell airplanes how high they are. It never occurred to me they’re the same thing. The ones I remember seeing were just like long rods pointing into the sky. Not quite the Eiffel Tower effect.

I cast, necromancy!

I wanted to get into making pixel art, but no inspiration, laziness, and no discipline got the best of me. I like military stuff, but military stuff are too complicated to draw! (personally for me at least, I'm just lazy)
Here are my best ones so far (this doesn't fully represents my actual skill):
First up is a dude with a helmet and mask

Second is my unfinished attempt in making a carbine, giving it detail is what held me back from finishing it, idk how to add more detail to it from the base.
