In accord with yesterdays feelings, I have decided to do a much simpler design today. That doesn't mean that I did it quickly, though. I took my time doing some sketches, thumbnails, and collecting palettes and references. I think it turned out well. 

Pteroming turned out to be a sky-diving, solar-sailing, cocky-smiling flying squirrel. I wanted to show that it has a great time when it flies across the void. I had long known, but sometimes you have to realize something you already learned to actually start doing it: sketching and thumbnailing really makes everything much easier and more fun. I come up with something I like and then I have a clear goal: turn my idea into pixelart. I am pretty sure yesterday's artwork took so long because I was making it up as I went along. I think this one took  between 2-3 hours in total. It's hard tracking my time when I am at home because I have a million breaks.  

Tomorrow. AGAIN.
