I could have put these two side by side to show my dramatic improvement in pixel art except I actually did them on the same day (today). It's just I have ADHD and with the one on the left I was hyperfocused and the one on the right is just a lazy edit of the original Brandish sprite. #pixelart

This is a brick wall composed by 3 different brick tiles. I tried to keep it readable. Few colors used. 16x16 tiles. #aseprite #pixelart #pixels #retro #retrogaming

This time I used some greens trying to keep it a worn sewer floor. 16x16 tile, 3 colors. Hope you like it! #aseprite #pixelart #retrogaming #indiegamedev #pixels #retro #tiles

Stone floor with 3 colors. Not sure the highlights are put well but I like it overall. 16x16 tile (tiled mode in both axis). #aseprite #pixels #pixelart #digitalart #indiegamedev #retro #retrogaming

What's up pals! today I felt like drawing something, and I drew a fantasy tree. Focusing on lights/shadows and clustering. Hope you'll like it! #aseprite #pixelart #pixel_art #digitalart #indiegamedev #retro

Liopleurodon ferox, the pliosaurid from the Middle Jurassic #pixelart #ドット絵 #SciArt #1bit #paleoart

This is an easy mockup for a top down style game. I've focused on the rocky floor (the tiles are 32x32 two colors + background color), then added some chests to see how they fit. Based upon Story of Thor (Sega Genesis). #aseprite #pixelart #pixels #digitalart #gamedev #indiegamedev

Current WIP. It's quite hard to try and draw this type of humanoid with only 3 colours, but I enjoy the challenge. One step closer to pulling my project out of Pre-Alpha. #PixelArt #PixelArtist #SpriteArtist #Aseprite #GameArt #IndieGameDev #GameDev #IndieGame

Thank you so much for 1.2K+ followers!! You're amazing! I really appreciate the support and fun/kind comments on my art! 🐯🌟 I'm taking a brief break from dailies to work on a little project but will be back by the end of June and will be doing stuff to say thank you soon! #pixelart #ドット絵 #aseprite

There is a 32x32 trunk for a top-down videogame. Palette and reference from Genesis Story of Thor (such a good game). #pixelart #pixel #art #indiegamedev #retro #aseprite

This looks really cool, thanks so much for using my music! 😍🎶

User moddable traffic flows (that the player can collide with) add an additional layer of dynamism to the game. Music by @musicvsartstuff.bsky.social . Traffic hurling random proximity insults and beeps has got to be the next feature. #indiedev #moddable #retro

There is a rocky floor tile for a topdown videogame. Original size 16x16 (the view is tiled mode). I tried 4 different color ramps, with original NES and Master System palettes. I'll appreciate some feedback! #aseprite #pixelart #NES #sega #digitalart #indiegamedev #indiedev

If you ever get stressed out about your art and start worrying "I'm so bad, what if it doesn't turn out good. Am I wasting my time?". Think of it like this. If you really care about your artwork, it deserves your time and focus. And it deserves your joy, not your anxiety.

I've been practicing forms, volumes and shading for about an hour. Sometimes you need to go back to basics, so did I. Here's 4 simple sprites 32x32 with basic forms. The last one, a tentacle... #aseprite #pixelart #pixels #indiegamedev #indiedev #retro #art

Done some cephalopods studying trying to design a final level boss for a sidescrolling or SHMUP... I personally like the right one that's facing left. As always, maybe someday I will draw it to pixel art! #pixelart #indiegamedev #retro #art #sketch #ink #aseprite

I wanted to use this #monthlypixels as a little thank you all for 800+ followers!! So I tried to make it into a "know me better" inventory! (see the comments for more). It didn’t turn out exactly how I wanted, but I still decided to share it anyway! #pixelart ・ #ドット絵

This is for another really fun challenge with @bitebitebited.bsky.social where I pushed myself to do isometric animation! Bitebited requested an "urban mimic, adapted to a city environment" This was super fun, thank you bitebited!! 🐯 #pixelart #ドット絵 #isometric #fantasyart
