Recreating the basicappleguy.com "six years" graphic
I saw this post marking six years of basicappleguy.com and I thought it would be fun to make a similar graphic in Mojave Paint. First thing would be to save the file and open in Mojave Paint, and pick the colors out as saved swatches.
Next I drop the size down to 16x17 so I can work in true pixel art style, and draw some colorful worms. I started with the single pixel row/column selection to get a basic lattice, then I hand drew some irregularities with the pencil tool (shift for straight lines was useful here).
Then it's just finding a reasonable-looking six figure to put on top. There are no antialiasing options in Mojave Paint yet for type, but I can cmd-click the type layer to get a selection, put a layer mask on a solid white layer, and threshold the layer mask to make it hard edged. Finally, I upscaled by 94x to get something on a similar scale as the original. The six figure looks pretty crappy, probably better to hand draw or trace something, but you get the idea!
