Hola, amigos y comunidad. Hacía ya varias semanas que no mostraba mi progreso en el #PixelArt y, para no perder el hilo, hoy les traigo el día 4 del reto de pixelart. En esta ocasión, el tema era Slimes, así que empecemos.
Hello, friends and community. It's been several weeks since I last showed my progress in #PixelArt and, so as not to lose the thread, today I bring you day 4 of the pixelart challenge. This time, the theme was Slimes, so let's get started.
Pero primero, ¿qué es un slime? En los videojuegos, se les conoce como slimes a un grupo de criaturas que tienen por características físicas cuerpos suaves y maleables. Pueden presentar diversos colores y formas, casi siempre con un aspecto gelatinoso. Su origen se remonta a los inicios de Dragon Quest en el año 1968 y ha saltado a varios videojuegos y juegos de mesa con otros nombres como limos, cienos o incluso gelatinas.

Its origin dates back to the beginnings of Dragon Quest in 1968 and has jumped to several video games and board games with other names such as slimes, slimes or even jellies.

En una de mis series de videojuegos favoritas, Final Fantasy, estas criaturas aparecen desde sus inicios y después se rebautizaron por el nombre de Flan, al menos en la traducción al español. Además, le dan un toque más de monstruo peligroso.
In one of my favorite video game series, Final Fantasy, these creatures appear from the very beginning and were later renamed Flan, at least in the Spanish translation. Plus, they give it more of a dangerous monster feel.

Los slimes son una buena manera de practicar el pixelart a pesar de su forma aparentemente simple, porque son formas translúcidas con transparencias y reflejos. Aquí les mostraré algunos resultados finales.
Slimes are a good way to practice pixelart despite their seemingly simple form, because they are translucent shapes with transparencies and reflections. Here I will show some final results.
