I really hate that pixel art is becoming associated with NFTs, pixel art rules

Maybe I should just make the opposite of an NFT, like I dunno, just a cute pixel art goblin anyone can right click+save for free and keep it forever and now it's theirs

You can put a hat on it too if you like

I’m totally on board. I’d like to propose a name for him: Nifty the Goblin.

I love it, I'll try to whip something up when I'm feeling inspired

...[BURSTS THROUGH THE WALL LIKE THE KOOL-AID MAN] HELLO, YES, HI, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT CREATIVE COMMONS ART PROJECTS?!

...I mean, yeah, these sorts of opposite-of-NFTs Open Source Art things are something I dedicate a lot of brainspace to, and I actually have some suggestions!

Firstly, if you wanna do that, you’d probably want to use one of the organization Creative Commons’ licenses, to make the “anyone can use/save/alter it” official and legally binding, presumably one of their looser ones like CC-BY or CC0.

Secondly, honestly, this is a rad idea, something like Open Game Art’s various sprites but more as an art project than an assets thing, and i have an idea on how you could expand it further.

Basically: Fanpro but for Pixel Art. Which, for those who don’t know, Fanpro is basically this pool of character designs people contributed to for a while, released totally and utterly under a CC0 license, for anyone to use how they see fit! Basically the exact opposite of NFTs!

It ha a successor in ComPro, but that kinda sputtered out, but one based around a specific theme like pixel art might be perfect! If only as an F-you to NFTs!

...But yeah, that’s my two cents on that good idea.

Boosting this! The opposite of NFTs has existed for a long time, it's called open source and creative commons. And to add something, Kenney has recently released this little app called Creature Mixer to create little animated pixel art sprites: https://kenney.itch.io/creature-mixer It's free and it's terms of use forbid any use with any kind of NFTs for the sprites created with it.

so, with some thanks to the lovely people above and with no further aplomb ‘cause it’s just a goofy 16 by 16 pixel goblin, here goes:

Nifty is a little 16 by 16 pixel goblin who’s yours to own and do whatever you wish to do with.

Licence: You can copy, modify and distribute this work, even for commercial projects, strictly excluding those relating to or containing non-fungible tokens (so-called "NFT") or blockchain (related) projects.

I’ve included a blown up 80 by 80 pixel version simply because I know from experience that Tumblr messes up small pixel art, but I’ve included a version in the original 16 by 16 resolution. While Sprytile is my pixel art software of choice, any image editor should do as long as long as it allows for turning off anti-aliasing, the bane of anyone who’s worked with pixels.

anyway, that’s enough pomp and circumstance for my silly little goblin powered by spite, although I do think it turned out pretty cute

I know nobody cares but I made a bunch of Nifty’s because he’s just so cute

A Cut Above

Moving my website to Tumblr to its own separate blog, all my posts from my website have been deleted but you will be able to read them on @elplinscorner. I will strictly be posting content there in regards to walkthroughs, reviews and all that other stuff so this blog will return to the hell hole it use to be!

Blaming Todd Howard for absolutely everything that goes wrong in Bethesda games has become such a habitual behaviour for me that I feel like it’s gonna bleed into my real life interactions.

Watch me walk over to receive my degree, trip on the carpet, and just lay there in my graduation cap and gown saying “Why would you do this, Todd?”

aw-dag

Todd Howard is an alum from my college and he comes to give guest talks sometimes, neither of which I knew my freshman year when I dropped my bag on the way to class, joked “I see we left clipping on, Todd Howard” to my friends, and was met with a very exasperated sigh from behind me and Actual Todd Howard says “Is this what we’re doing now?”
