    (Please let me know if this is the right section; if not, please move it!)

    If anyone doesn’t know (I know a few people here that do :p ), I have a project on both Instagram and Twitter called PixelsOfThePast, and its spin-off, PixelsInPeril. I pretty much make pixelated extinct animals (including LOTS of dinosaurs), and in the spin-off, I make currently endangered species.

    Please check it out! Everything’s in the LinkTree link below:

    Oh yeah, I follow you! You have some interesting posts. How do you make the pixel art?

    I use Paint.NET, which is a free photo-editing program, but it's also pretty good with pixel-related works as well. I'll probably do a full-on detailed step-by-step guide on how I make an animal, but I simply draw, fill in some color (while referencing the animals I'm trying to recreate), then enlarge the pictures and they're set to go :D

    Don't mean to bump this topic, but I want to bring up that I converted PixelsInPeril into ThePixelsZoo. You can access that through the LinkTree on the first post!
