Finally done! A copy of a modern Manchester-based artist, Chris Cyprus @chriscyprus . The original work is called "A Cold Start" and measures 50×40 cm, whereas mine is 50×50 - specially made for Instagram! 😆 Oil on canvas.
I personally divide Cyprus's paintings into two categories: "colouristic" and "graphical." The latter look almost like illustrations from books - if the pages were giant and made of canvas. This piece sits somewhere in between, though probably leaning more toward the colouristic side.
I showed the original on Facebook to my wife, and she said she would be absolutely thrilled to have something like it at home. I’m not really a painter and rarely do this, but I decided to give it a go. I even bought a proper easel for the occasion!

Today I want to support my wife and her friend — they run an account all about perfumes. ✨
They share something new every day: sometimes fun facts and knowledge about fragrances, sometimes more personal impressions and stories.
If you love perfumes (or are just curious to learn more), I’d be super happy if you gave them a follow 👉 @my.kind.of.scent

While on a little sick leave, managed to hit my final achievement in Endless Doves! A few weeks before made a full house in 8-Bit Doves. Not spending too much effort - much less than any pro players.
To be techically correct, Doves are not truly pixel art series - the character rotation is not limited with a pixel matrix. When the guy is 45° up or down, you can see his pixels as tiny rotated squares! I find this trick acceptable for mobile games, given the rest of the game follows the old-school spirit. Also appreciate "pay once" policy and absence of modern monetisation techniques, many of which are extremely annoying.
Other notable (pseudo)pixel art game scores:
Flappy Bird - 162
Swing Copters - 125
Timberman (before having been heavily monetised) - 1105

Done! One of the best pub exteriors in Greenwich IMO. Though the picture is slightly overdecorated comparing to the original. Pixel art as a genre often requires a greater number of details. The main purpose of such images is to entertain a viewer with those details. I'd like to draw pub's interior some day in pixel art, possibly in isometric projection.

In the meantime I've refurbished my older non-pixelart picture. Can't say it's a masterpiece now, but looks a bit better than used to.

Not done yet, but keeping myself exposed to Instagram's algorithms by making a new post. Instagram doesn't care if it's done or not :)

Doesn't look very attractive at the moment, but I haven't posted anything for a while, and keen to share my current undertaking.

Pardon for posting not a pixel art piece, but an AI-generated rubbish. I could not resist the eye-candy temptation! Framed and hanging on the wall it looks terrific, and can be easily changed to something else of same format. Now one can produce literally infinite number of unique samples of beauty. I love this industrial break-through, lol.
Yes, I had to manually alter statue's hand in a photo editor, so he would hold the phone properly. The number of fingers was correct though (more or less).
