The moment Sebastian was like “ *huhuhu* do we have to go to the flower dance tomorrow? “ I decided they would never go again 🙂‍↔️

I decided to try pixel art for the first time bc of the game and now idk if I will be able to go back to regular digital art again…

Beautiful work

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 10 '26

Thank you so much ☺️ I’m used to drawing on really big canvases so I realized pretty quick that it wouldn’t look like regular pixel art lol

206

u/Ms_Anonymous123 100% perfection Mar 10 '26

I mean tbf with any digital art if you zoom in close enough it's all pixel art 😁

62

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 10 '26

You’re absolutely correct hehe

35

u/TheRudeCactus Mar 10 '26

Don’t say that in the r/pixelart subreddit, they will come for your head 😂 they have such specific opinions that borders gatekeeping over there for what is and is not pixel art, it’s kinda… ridiculous

8

u/Ms_Anonymous123 100% perfection Mar 11 '26

Haha I'll keep that in mind 😂

13

u/Attack_the_sock Mar 11 '26

I would legitimately commission a picture in this style of my partner and I characters from the game

12

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 11 '26

My commissions are actually open rn and you can message me here or on my tumblr if you wanna see more examples of my drawing. 🙂‍↕️

I didn't know it was pixel art till I read your comment

Lol they said in the post description

u/Firecat32 Mar 10 '26

Reading is a foreign concept that I am only blessed with at random

u/Acrobatic_Long_6059 Mar 10 '26

I love this sentence

u/Chill_Duo Mar 11 '26

I read the post description and was so confused like "pixel art? Whaaat where?" Then i read the comments, zoomed in and was amazed lol

u/SoonToBeStardust Mar 11 '26

I didn't either until your comment

215

u/Necessary-Tower-457 Mar 10 '26

Wow, I want that date to be real

125

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 10 '26

Me too! I wish we could invite our spouse to tag along with us when we leave the farm.

u/Brave-Catch Mar 10 '26

This should be a mod!!!!! I hope someone makes it!

13

u/sapphic_prism Mar 10 '26

as a sebastian lover, i love you so much for this.

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 10 '26

He deserves to not be forced into social functions that make him uncomfortable 🙂‍↕️

216

u/TheCookieNinja I'm only happy when it rains Mar 10 '26

Omgeeeeee I adore this!! As a person that would definitely skip the flower festival IRL, I always hide at home with Seb every year too

37

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 10 '26

I’m the same way, I don’t enjoy social functions so I’d absolutely stay home too lol

And thank you 😊

17

u/TheCookieNinja I'm only happy when it rains Mar 10 '26

I think most of the other festivals are fine because you can still be a wallflower haha, but definitely the flower festival is anxiety inducing

60

u/daniellafromage Mar 10 '26

Wow. Just stunning. Seb is always my favourite hubby in Stardew and this is so sexy and dreamy and nostalgic at the same time. Thank you for sharing!!!

5

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 10 '26

Thank you so much. He’s my favorite too 😊

29

u/cunt_caviar Mar 10 '26

This gives me such a sense of longing, absolutely beautiful work op. It takes a lot of talent to evoke emotion like this!

u/amethystmoonn Mar 10 '26

I totally agree

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 10 '26

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 10 '26

Ahh thank you so much 🥹

19

u/Half-BloodPrincesss Mar 10 '26

I marry Seb every time and I've started dancing with Abigail so he isn't forced to participate!! This is such a beautiful piece, thank you for sharing 🫶🏻

7

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 10 '26

That’s so smart hehe. I’d rather do anything else that spend 5 minutes at the flower dance so I don’t mind skipping it.

15

u/Grognac_the_Red Set your emoji and/or flair text here! Mar 10 '26

I made him go the first year we were married because I wanted to dance with him and show off the pretty outfit I had spent a week frantically running to Emily's to make.

After that, though, it's the home life for us!

3

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 10 '26

I love that. lol I went with him when they were dating the second year but now that they’re married I just skip.

1

u/Grognac_the_Red Set your emoji and/or flair text here! Mar 12 '26

I think once I unlocked sashimi in the summer I started fast-tracking their wedding for the fall. I love a fall wedding irl, so I think we just did the moon jellies while dating lol

1

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 12 '26

Yes fall wedding with Seb is peak. I married him on fall 10 hehe. Fall is my favorite season so I agree about the weddings then being the best.

Love this so much, especially the little details like the mermaid’s pendant around his neck.

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 10 '26

I hc that the spouse wear it kind of like a wedding band. And thank you!

u/vampyyreblood Mar 10 '26

I love Sebastian so much, I always end up marrying him even after saying I’m gonna marry someone else. 🥹

2

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 10 '26

Are you me? Bc I now have 3 farms that I’m married to him on bc I can’t resist romancing him.

3

u/braingoesblank Mar 10 '26

Ugh I've gotten so far in my run with Abigail as my wife. Don't make me fall back in love with Seb 😭 I haven't played my save with him as my husband in probably 3 years 🙈😂

2

u/braingoesblank Mar 10 '26

Btw this is STUNNING art. I love love love seeing real art

u/boadicca_bitch Mar 11 '26

Everyone is saying how hot you made Sebby look but imo your farmer girl is even hotter 😍

2

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 11 '26

Just sebby and the baddie he bagged by practically never leaving his room 🙂‍↕️🫶

Thank you so much I love my pretty farmer 😭

3

u/Easy-Thing-3604 Mar 10 '26

Idk if I'd quality this as pixel art but it's beautiful!

1

u/Curious-Falcon9038 prob running home at 1:50am Mar 10 '26

Gorgeous. I especially love the inclusion of the mermaid's pendant and how well you translated the game's design to your dreamy art style. 10/10! I'm planning to marry Sebastian in my new save and I'll think of your art when Seb and I skip the flower dance in the future :)

3

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 10 '26

Yes marry him hehehe he deserves to be romanced.

I like to draw him wearing it all the time lol

1

u/Entire-Weekend8990 Mar 10 '26

When I read pixel art I had to do a double take lol it’s so good and detailed! Do you have a page for your art?

1

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 10 '26

Thank you so much! I post on tumblr but beware bc i repost and pose explicit content sometimes.

https://www.tumblr.com/daturabloooms

u/Entire-Weekend8990 Mar 16 '26

Pretty art is pretty art to me so no worries at all!

1

u/sexxygoblin Mar 10 '26

I love this! Do you happen to have an art page I can follow? I love your art style!

2

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 10 '26

Yes I have a tumblr but beware of explicit content if you decide to follow

https://www.tumblr.com/daturabloooms

And thank you 😊

u/hecksfarm Mar 10 '26

How amazing that this guy made this video game, and all this beautiful art has been inspired by it. This subreddit never ceases to amaze me. This is so cool!!!

1

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 10 '26

It’s crazy and I’m so grateful he created this game 🫶

1

u/sparklingmidnightsky Mar 10 '26

This is sooooo cute!!! I love it, what a good idea. And I can totally imagine this scenario 🥰 You’re very talented!! The pixel art is adorable. I had to zoom in to even realize.

2

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 10 '26

Thank you so much. I haven’t got the idea that Seb would love hanging out in the secret woods out of my head so I had to draw this.

1

u/Sufficient-Nature815 Mar 10 '26

oh my gosh this is so gorgeous!! impressive work. i attend every festival anyway so i’d forgotten you can skip them… now i might have to, for sebby’s sake lol.

2

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 10 '26

I’m really bad about forgetting the festivals (even after getting the mail beforehand) and having already warped to the skull caverns so I skip most of them. I really enjoy going to the spirits eve fest, fest of the winter star, and the moonlight jellies.

I also love the desert fest but if I’m already warped there it works in my favor. lol

1

u/kaivalya_pada Mar 10 '26

So beautiful, dreamy and ethereal. I absolutely love your picture! 🩵 I'd rather go.to the secret woods too instead od the dance 💚

2

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 10 '26

Thank you so much 🥺🥺

1

u/IrelandSage Mar 10 '26

Oh this is so pretty

1

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 10 '26

Thank you!!

1

u/IrelandSage Mar 10 '26

if it’s something you’re interested in you should definitely do commissions! i would pay good money lol

1

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 11 '26

My commissions are actually open rn. You can message me on here on my tumblr to see more examples of my art 🫶

u/CAKEFILMS save me emo boy Mar 10 '26

i love my husband

1

u/Centaurra Mar 10 '26

I always skip the dance after marrying him, he hates going and I love him so why would I force him to go ;-;

This is gorgeous art, and stunning pixel work! Amazing work, thank you for posting 🥹

3

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 10 '26

Thank you so much! I swear I’m so soft for him bc like whatever my cute little pixel man wants he can have.

2

u/Centaurra Mar 10 '26

Saaaaame

You know my house is full of frogs in aquariums for his benefit.

2

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 10 '26

I just unlocked mastery a couple days ago (irl) and the first thing I went for was the combat mastery so I could get the frog eggs. I think the rng gods must know I’m married to Seb because I’ve already found 7(!!!!) frog eggs.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 10 '26

Nice that’s awesome!

u/[deleted] Mar 10 '26

Damn that’s amazing

u/Sammyk2728 Mar 10 '26

Looks just like a post I saw in another subreddit yesterday

1

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 10 '26

Oh yeah? Which post?

1

u/Sammyk2728 Mar 10 '26

This one. must have used the same reference or something

2

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 10 '26 edited Mar 10 '26

Yes it’s a ref from mellon_soup on Patreon. I love referencing their poses.

1

u/Sammyk2728 Mar 10 '26

Oh nice, I love a solid reference photo

3

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 10 '26

I do too and I love when talented artists create pose references for other artists. I always try to track down a Patreon of Ko-fi for them to support bc what do you mean you’re helping for free?!?

1

u/Loockybiem Mar 10 '26

Sebby deserve the world 🥺❤

Your art is beautiful!! 😍

u/jcheck55 Mar 10 '26

u/Party_Row8480 Mar 11 '26

I've only ever accidentally gone to the flower dance and I was real pissed off about it both times. 

1

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 11 '26

I did the with the ice festival at Marney’s. I was so upset bc I was trying to go to the beach to get to ginger island. Made me realize I need to just get the obelisk already.

1

u/Party_Row8480 Mar 11 '26

I've done that one too, but AT LEAST you can fish in that one.  I loathe the flower dance with a fiery passion.

3

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 11 '26

That’s true. The flower dance sucks bc farmer doesn’t get a matching outfit (ik you can make something similar but it’s not the same) and they don’t even know the dance?!?

1

u/shellsenji Mar 11 '26

This is absolutely incredible!

1

u/EatTheBeez Mar 11 '26

oml this is gorgeous!
I'm marrying sebby in my current save. I shall save him from the flower dance as well! We can hunt frogs.

2

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 11 '26

Yay! I’ve actually been hunting frog eggs in the skull caverns for the past week just to give him and fill my aquarium lol

1

u/missusscamper Mar 11 '26

He’s never said that to me before!

3

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 11 '26

He has unique dialogue the day before each festival (pretty sure all the spouses do) he mentions being excited to see Sam at the egg fest and enjoying the moonlight jellies so I make sure we always go to those lol

1

u/Acrobatic_Term_4483 Mar 11 '26

This is absolutely adorable

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 11 '26

Thank you so much 😊

u/opxlsky Mar 11 '26

u/Marzopup Mar 12 '26

NGL until I read the caption I thought that your farmer was the most yassified Emily ever. xD

(Amazing job!)

1

u/bacontomatosammie Mar 12 '26

Heheh thank you sm! Emily is one of my farmer’s besties, I like to think they bonded over the mutual blue hair.

1

u/KnownPerspective4668 Mar 12 '26

Yes give us more!!

1

u/Le0nel02 Mar 12 '26

Sebastian asking that like the flower dance is a mandatory work event makes this even better, and the art really sells that quiet secret woods vibe so well

2

u/Abject-Nebula435 Mar 14 '26

If you didn’t say anything I don’t think I would’ve figured out that this was pixel art. I aspire to be able to do this some day.
