Made my first building for our upcoming Stardew Valley mod, a dilapidated playhouse! A big quest will be in store to restore it for the little twins by their stepparents!

Screenshot from the app Pixquare showing a pixel art mockup of a 2D game set in a farm environment with a small cottage house covered in vines, carrots being grown in a patch and a variety of trees, bushes and plants. There is a large sprite of Little Bo Peep crying. In the smaller preview window it shows a sheep enclosed with a smaller character sprite of Little Bo Peep as well as sheep and lambs within the enclosure.

Even though the mace's design is ridiculous, I wanted to sell the idea that it was a real weapon. I took the time to ground the texturing with realistic wear and tear, while also trying to capture the colouration of the original sketch.

This is the very quick sketch Seb sent me that I tried to replicate with the final model.

The low poly model. All the extra facets, bolts and the wrapping on the base leather are baked in.

The mace converted to a pixel art sprite, with a lot of hand corrections and anti-aliasing.

Super close to having our town square region finalized. Eeek. This is so exciting (!!) We're doing another last round of revisions, but feedback on anything is warmly welcomed!

Orion's End only had engines, weapons and shields up-gradable, but I know how much fun it is to design your own stuff. Here's a peek at the early stages of the new designing system. I had to make the landing pads much larger to accommodate the new scale too. #indiegames #scifi #pixelart #videogames

A pixel art scene depicting an ancient stone door amidst a dense, mysterious forest. The door is adorned with intricate carvings resembling a labyrinth and features a central eye motif. Surrounding the door are broken pillars and walls, scattered stones, and vibrant red-ish flowers growing in the grass. The atmosphere is eerie yet tranquil, with the caption below reading: 'And so it waits, still breathing...

A mighty warrior dressed in shiny armor and a blessed teddy bear hat has found a chest in the dungeon! Contained within is a powerful magic sword that he is brandishing. By torchlight is lit a massive mimic coming forth from a barrel nearby. It looks a lot like an octopus if an octopus was made of fabric and fangs. Its outstretched purple ribbon tentacles reach towards the mighty warrior.

The Spectre from Slay the Princess

She said she wanted to be inside of me. And I'm sure that is some kind of flirting.

General: A bust/torso-up pixel art piece depicting Haar, the Wyvern Rider from the games Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.

Character: Haar has long brown hair, swept backwards with a few strands of hair falling in front.

Pose & Expression: Haar is shown in a side view, glancing at the viewer with a neutral expression. His right hand holds a cup of bourbon, almost near his mouth.

Clothes & Accessories: Haar wears a black t-shirt. He also has a black eyepatch covering his right eye

Also, Happy New Year!!

Pixel art body shape studies showing four sets of masculine and feminine humanoid forms in a standing neutral pose, with one singular skeleton form in the centre of the image. 

Top left: "Trim Jim" - bodies with an average healthy shape.
Top right: "Gym Jim" - very muscular bodies with little body fat.
Bottom left: "Slim Jim" - slender bodies with little fat or muscle.
Bottom right: "Chin Jim" - large, chubby, overweight bodies.
Middle: "Grim Jim" - a skeleton.

Each are around 16 pixels wide and 48 pixels tall, and there are only 5 colours used in total (walnut brown, warm brown, ochre, sepia, and cream).

my goal for 2025 is to level up my pixel art skills and build my up my portfolio!

oh, meet Jim.

Jim's going to serve as a base template I can use to experiment with characters and learning animation :D

๐Ÿ‘€ what's your art goal this year?
