My First Visible Art Attempts

[Ambrienne]

Now, I am not some one who can draw. I freely admit this. However, the Kingdom of Knuffel site recently introduced a feature where people could create their own Knuffels if they passed the approval process. Others can also adopt them for a period of 30 days after they are posted. These Knuffels start at Level 1 and evolve at levels 25, 50, 75, and 100. The site admin/lead artist even gave us a couple of bases to work from.

...Well, through the power of going at it one pixel at a time and getting someone else to make the image backgrounds transparent for me (all I have to work with is Paint, after all), I submitted two of them and got them approved.

Knuffel ex Machina


That's what they look like in button form. And, because I have no reason not to spoil the stages for you, here they are:

Not bad. 2 questions.

1) Did Rune inspire the 3 eyes?

2) What the heck is a Knuffel?

[Ambrienne]

In answer to number 1: Sort of. It was also inspired by the two three eyed characters on this page, Lord Wuffel and Ehlenia: KofK Characters Unlike Rune, these guys are short, though. Kind of like the Smurfs of the Knuffel world.

In answer to number 2: Several people have asked this on the site itself, and the answer seems to be that (either in Dutch or German, I can't remember which), it's supposed to mean something like hugs or plushies. Given that a lot of them are very cute, it's probably the correct interpretation.

Those are really pretty! That must have taken a lot of patience going pixel by pixel.
