OrangeDog Says

welcome to chapter XI

Hey, I’m glad you’re checking in!-

..Are you on a hunt to become a better person..?

..It took me over 30 years to track down what I was looking for in myself- who I need to be more like. Don’t give up!

Some could say I’m no better than I was before turning my life to Jesus in 2017. Others acknowledge that I am more strong, bold, carefree, and loving.

There is tremendous growth potential in acknowledging your faults, and challenging them head on with God’s help. Pray- say Lord, I’m trying to control how myself and other people choose to love.. and that is one step in the opposite direction of loving like your son, Jesus Christ. Please lead me to you through your comforting words in what love truly is.

[See 1 Corinthians 13]

Thanks for listening 🙇‍♂️ Now, let’s get back to my childhood’s fav video games..

Secret of Mana is another one of those beautiful pixel games I played when I was growing up. Though the controls feel clunky today, I recently had a great time doing a play through of this amazing game!

love,

welcome to chapter XI

This pixelTANGLE drawing brought to you by the suggestion of @calareimer88

👋Thank you @calareimer88

..It was intense living through the actual time when Nintendo moved their franchises from 8 to 16-bit. Third parties also had an opportunity to level up their games/graphics- Capcom being a standout.

My brother is a huge Mega Man fan. When I was young, I honestly had lost interest in the series after loving Mega Man 2 and 3- but not being impressed with 4 or 5 for the NES..

..I don’t even remember 6, but that’s probably because it was overshadowed by my love for Mega Man X for SNES! This game blew me away!! The graphic upgrade, armor, & added skills kept me hooked. The game is undeniably gorgeous- even by today’s standards in pixel games! Like many, it truly shined and appeared more polished on a crt tv.

love,

welcome to chapter XI

Hey, hope I don’t lose you. Stay with me-

Let’s say you lived in Vincent Van Gogh’s era—

..He presented his art to you..

..He told you how much his art ideas would influence art expression going forward..

..He convinced you his art had value beyond money..

..He offered his work and ideas to you..

..To build on. To make stronger, bolder, more carefree, and loving..

What if you are the influential Van Gogh of your era?-

..Would you spend your artistic time trying to make money?

..Would you be held back by those without your vision?

..Would you lose yourself to the madness of being misunderstood?

..Or, would you rely on God to love you? To provide a path that makes sense only for you-yourself-I?

Thank you for being here with me 🙇‍♂️ Now, back to my childhood’s favorite and memorable games..

..As a kid, I first played this game at a video game store. I paid a few dollars for a half hour of play. I remember being so confused- as others watched me run around aimlessly outside a castle in a pixelated thunderstorm.

love,

Not much more late 80’s /early 90’s than wanting to be a ninja!🥷

At some point we ended up purchasing Ninja Gaiden 2 for NES when I was younger. I think I got it as a birthday gift— maybe it was a Christmas present..

This game, [as many others from that era]— so challenging!

I remember wanting to get better at it, so I could watch the cut scenes between stages. I don’t remember much about the story, -and am afraid to ruin the memory by watching them again- I’m pretty sure the cutscenes look much less impressive through the eyes of today.

Thank you for being here🙇‍♂️

Little Nemo: The Dream Master was another one of those fun games from my past that we rented quite a few times. My brother and I played it well before we understood it was based on a comic.

They released a movie with a similar name and characters sometime after, but I don’t remember hearing about it until several years after playing the game. By the time I knew about the movie’s existence, it was already on vhs.

DEAR READER: What pixel game[s] would you like me to draw in pixelTANGLE?

OrangeDog Says

welcome to chapter XI

I hope you feel the movement I hid in this piece. I had a lot of fun with this one.

At first glance, this game looks incredibly mediocre. When you first play it, the controls feel tight and awkward. There is a lot about this game that may make you roll your eyes. Give it a chance to grow on you— If you love weird and challenging pixel games from the past, Startropics is FAR BEYOND a must play!

Thank goodness the game had a battery to save your progress -which helped a little- but, keep in mind that I originally played this as a kid thru in an era without rewind or save states!

This game is so unique and beautiful. And stressful 😉 Play it!!

welcome to chapter XI

I forgive Nintendo for tricking us into believing Doki Doki Panic was an actual sequel to Super Mario Bros. They couldn’t have found a better game to redraw the sprites to.

I was there when they had the whole country fooled. They had us going for years! I didn’t learn it was another game until well past the release of the Super Nintendo. We didn’t even consider it until playing Super Mario All-Stars for the first time.

Besides Luigi’s floaty jump and Princess Toadstool’s [Peach’s] hovering jump[that they’ve reused in a number of other games]- I really enjoyed the veggie throwing mechanic.

I’ll be overjoyed when Nintendo pumps out more Super Mario Bros. games that let us throw turnips. Just my 2 coins on it.

If you like to have fun and doodle weird images, maybe pixelTANGLE is an art style for you!

Built on love of video games from the 80s and 90s, this, the new concept pixelTANGLE is rooted in hand drawn pixel illustrations.

1. Use or create a pixel pattern

2. Freehand the pattern in ink

3. Add zentangle elements

welcome to chapter XI—

Thanks for taking the time to try to get to know me better!

When I was young, a friend had rented this game before I owned a Super Nintendo to play it on.

We took turns exploring a world that changed the way I thought about rpg[now labeled turn-based jrpg] games and story possibilities. Not the best game when compared to the library of today. Even so, Final Fantasy II[IV] will forever be in my heart in such a way that no other game will ever replace the saga’s personal significance to me.

The character arc of Cecil and Kain reflect struggles, growth, and forgiveness in my life journey in many ways. Like a brother defending brother; this game is my forever to the moon and back- despite the odds.

#pixelTANGLE Get the Boot[Ch.11].

OrangeDog Says

welcome to chapter XI—

Battletoads could’ve been great. Amazing, even! I remember at it’s release it had so much hype!!

The game graphics made it look so cool in Nintendo Power- it looked very TMNT arcade style beat ‘em up. My brother and I anxiously waited for the release. I remember it was loaned out several times before we actually got a chance to rent it ourselves. The expectations [compounded by my excitement] were high.

Battletoads started out fun enough in the first levels. Then suddenly, it got so difficult!! I don’t think I ever got past the stage involving jumping and avoiding walls while on a bike. If you’ve played it, you know what I’m talking about.

It was too much coordination and memorization for my child brain- I think I’d short circuit as it progressively got faster and faster.

They made a Double Dragon and Battletoads mashup after that on SNES- but, by then I was too jaded by the overwhelming challenge of the original.

I’ve never played any other Battletoads games. Are there any worth playing?

welcome to chapter XI—

Another 2 player co-op game from my childhood—

My brother and I rented Bubble Bobble quite a number of times back in the early NES days..

Are you playing as..

..A fish?

Are you an aquatic lizard? Water dragon?

Who knows— this 8-bit game plays well, and is just soo much fun!

This isn’t the first time I’ve done pixelTANGLE for Bubble Bobble. The last time -years ago- [post 0291] was when I was learning how I DIDN’T want to do pixelTANGLE. As a practice it’s nice, but this piece is much more polished towards the direction my art needs to flow.

This one goes out to you, Bro!

Squirtle—

my pick when I played Pokémon [Blue] for the first time. I think Squirtle was my top choice at that time because I also loved TMNT [Raph], and had two red eared sliders as pets..

but | also | if I looked at myself honestly and dug deeper— there is just something relatable to me -ingrained into my being- about a creature wanting to be on, in, or near water..

welcome to chapter XI—

POV

1] You have no limits[alone]

2] You can achieve whatever you want if you want it[alone]

3] You can do anything you put your mind to[alone]

4] You can be your true self, fully[alone].

👾

Although this way of thinking can be a temporary push of positive feelings to bask in[meant to encourage yourself to be better], only after you surrender to the realization that these notions are false[sorry, my dude] can you begin to grow spiritually.

👾

Recognize. You. Are. Great, but we all need help from going it all alone. You need help.

👾

Only after accepting this can you start to solicit help from others and God. This is because you’re now free from the chains of the overwhelming circle of possibilities that go into being a better you— and the crushing need to solve that problem by yourself.

🕊️

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬-‭9‬

🕊️

And I tell you this: you can only follow my ORANGEDOG’s journal of thoughts and beliefs so long until you have reason enough to look up yourself, instead of towards my words..

To be blunt: my art is evidence of the beauty in our imperfections[as my pixel drawings are amazingly imperfect, too].. A well reasoned and relatable sign for you to look up the Creator of everything with honest intentions. Find what it is you are searching for. Discover the beauty in yourself.

OrangeDog Says

welcome to chapter XI—

SMACK!

Vulgar words are strong..!

And momentarily

make you feel amazing—

but—

time will pass—

and damage remains..

Yet, you may discover that thoughtful use of loving actions

<!—with encouraging words sprinkled in—>

is where more power is—

the power to

self repair,

reverse coarse[course of corse],

and erase wrongs

of

bad conversations..🤬🗯️

Keep going, my friend.. You can brush me off if you need today to think, but know your character will ebb and flow like water. You will never be the purely good person you desire- You. Will. Fail.

The only way to be truly saved from [your]bad is to know Jesus Christ well enough to ask Him to pull you out of your flood of negative emotions. God is trying to tell you He is the answer to help you make this possible through Jesus. Stop thinking all those negative things you thought about a relationship with the Son of the Creator of everything; the reasoning will click🫀- It’s amazing!

love,

WHAT IS PIXELTANGLE?

#pixelTANGLE is an art style rooted in freehand pixel illustrations with zentangle elements. Pursue the art form using the medium of your choice to freehand the pixel outlines how you’d like, and then combine #zentangle #tangles. I currently use ink and pens. What medium will you use? Let’s come together and see how far this particular #punkROCKlineart concept goes! Follow me as I continue to expand my process👾🍊🐶

continue work

with joy in heart-

jot down and remember

privilege to stand,

feelings to explore,

and efforts to part-

until seen

new in old🕊️

want to follow

what the Lord

wants~

to follow Jesus Christ

[See 2 Corinthians 5:17]
