Pixel Jellyfish Mood Theme

[soc_puppet]

I felt the need to do a bit of visual art, and also wanted to try my hand at pixel art, so I threw together a minimal-ish mood theme with blue 8bit jellyfish. ...And then I decided, what the heck, I need more colors! And now I have a rainbow of jellyfish moods.

These aren't ready for common use yet; for various art program related reasons, I still need to clip everything down except for blue and green, and then zip and upload them. But here are the sheets where you can see the jellyfish!







I'll upload the individual colors, plus one with all the colors, once they're ready ✌

Edit: Come download your jellies!

Pink Jellies | Orange Jellies
Yellow Jellies | Green Jellies
Blue Jellies | Purple Jellies
Jellyfish Mood Rainbow

Use one at a time, or mix and match for extra fun! While it's not comprehensive, I'm pretty sure you could wrangle a couple of pride flags out of these jellies 👀

Note to self: Make pride flag jellies

Images have their dimensions included in the file name, width by height; so, for example, 34x40 is 34 pixels wide by 40 pixels tall. This should help if you're uploading them as a Dreamwidth mood theme (and probably other Dreamwidth-like sites), especially as not all of them are the same dimensions, and you need to list the dimension for every parent mood image.

Edit 2: I inquired in the latest dw_maintenance post about what was involved in submitting a mood theme to be officially used by Dreamwidth, and apparently there's a wiki page about it! One of my dreams may be coming true shortly?!

Edit 3: The jellyfish files have been updated with new jellies! There are now a total of 35 images, one for each of the "branches" on the mood hierarchy tree, plus a bonus image (the mood "Blank").

These are so cute!

[soc_puppet]

Thank you 😊 I had some real fun with them!

[vriddy]

This is delightful omg!! 😍

[soc_puppet]

Thanks 😁 I may be looking into getting them made into site-supported mood themes, as well! (See linked convo above.)

[vriddy]

So cool! :D

I'm so pleased that

[jesse_the_k]

...your excellent mood themes will be available as a site-wide offering

(Especially because the step-by-step for hand installation flies right over my weary head.)

[soc_puppet]

Same here! I keep wanting to happy-clap when I think about it (so I do) 🥰 I'm really hoping it'll inspire more people to submit their own, or to join moodthemeinayear, even if they don't use mine specifically (though it would also be cool if they did).



Hmmm, maybe I should make my own tutorial on custom mood theme installation 🤔

I love these! Do you know when it will be available site-wide, or when it would it be ok for me to use the orange jellies as a custom mood theme?

[soc_puppet]

Thank you! They're supposed to be available site-wide in the next code push, but goodness knows when that will be. I'm hoping it'll be on time for the traditional December news post, but we'll see! In the mean time, I would be incredibly flattered if you wanted to use them as a custom mood theme right now 🥰

[soc_puppet]

All jellies will be live on site shortly! (Aaaahhh, I'm so excited!)

[rocknlobster]

That's awesome!! I ended up getting a paid account and uploading them all so I am an Early Adapter. ;)

Well, I can only approve of any move that supports Dreamwidth! Doubly so if it appeals to my own ego 😜
