Duck & Turtle Phone Background

A black and white (1-bit) pixel art image of a mallard duck and a box turtle on the left of the frame

I use a phone with a square screen and recently switched to a minimal launcher. I like the launcher and appreciated being able to pare down the visuals, but then looking at just the white text on a black screen was too minimal. So I drew out this cute mallard duck and box turtle to liven up the screen. Very happy with how they came out and a great exercise in 1-bit techniques.

Update: I ended up using the image flipped on the phone because while I can set the menu on the right on the home screen, I can’t move it in the apps menu. But I am very happy to have put in the effort to add this to my phone!

Look at these charming little guys
