DrawPixmap transfers pixel data from main memory directly into the backbuffer in video ram. It doesn't do any `blending` whatsoever. It's basically kind of like a `CopyRect` function. You copy existing pixels as-is to a destination as-is. Blending modifies pixels on the fly which does not happen with pixmaps. If you want to blend your pixmap you must convert it to an Image first.
