Found out about this late, but hello #PortfolioDay! I do pixel art, and if you ever need any, you can reach out to me on my vgen: vgen.co/novicearts Here's my samples

I had the chance to read @b0nesaw.bsky.social 's manga Sky-Scorer (chapter 1), and I'm impressed. The art style is really captivating. Made some pixel art for it, as if it's a GBA fighting game. I had to draw Blam, kid's got spunk. #art #pixelartㅤ #fanart #gba #retro

Behold my genius

The wait for deltarune chapter 6 is killing me. So to kill some time, I decided to make a gameboy pixel art movie poster. Best of luck to @tobyfox.undertale.com and @tuyoki.bsky.social! I'm sure it'll be good #Deltarune #PixelArt #Gameboy

Today I had some spare time to doodle. Wanted to practice scribbling as a drawing style, to perfect the chaotic yet ordered feel. I think I'm gonna call this one "Ashita Josuke" How about you guys? Wanna art share? #oc #mangaart #traditionalart #sketchbook #artshare

Recently got back into pencil drawing again after a long while. This time I decided to try my hand at Naruto. #fanart #naruto #pencil #sketch

Was recently working on my game engine's pixel art font renderer. To save myself time I mostly use pixel art to do everything, but I decided to add a bit of flair for the fonts. Figured it wasnt too hard to get it behaving more like vector fonts. #gamedev #indie #pixelart

just finished my new dj rhythym game! #gamedev #gaming #indiedev #indie #pixelart Check it out here: novicearts.itch.io/scratch-dat-... Available on Web and Windows

Been feelin' a bit pawsy lately. #indiegame #gamedevelopment

Got the scoring system in place for my dj rhythm game. Now it feels like the start of a real game. #gamedev #indie #indiegame

Making more progress on my dj rhythm game! Got spinnin' beats n such. #gamedev #indie

Working on a new DJ Rhythm game for an upcoming jam. #indiegame #screenshotsaturday

Just finished my gamejam entry for Dreamdisc 25! This one's a spin-off project for the Sega Dreamcast RPG Elysian Shadows. Check it out here: novicearts.itch.io/elysian-shad... #dreamcast #pixelart #indie #dreamcast

More gameplay footage for the Sega Dreamcast RPG Elysian Shadows (or well the prequel entry). This time I got item drops working. #pixelart #indie #dreamcast

More work on combat for the Sega Dreamcast RPG Elysian Shadows. I've added some amped up sword based combat via the "Charge blade" #pixelart #gamedev #dreamcast #indie

Continuing work on the Sega Dreamcast RPG Elysian Shadows. I've worked more on combat movement, including dashing and sword slashes. It's now getting pretty fun to move about. #pixelart #gamedev #dreamcast #indie

Decided to take a break from programming and do some level design and pixel art for the Sega Dreamcast RPG Elysian Shadows. #pixelart #gamedev #dreamcast #indie

Dashing mechanics are in! Speeding along with the Sega Dreamcast RPG Elysian Shadows, I'm making more progress than I originally expected. And yes, it feels really good to control too. #dreamcast #gamedev #indie

Steady progress for the Sega Dreamcast RPG Elysian Shadows! I've gotten in a decent prototype for character movement and multi-screen tilemap levels. It's now getting to a point I can start writing real game logic. #dreamcast #rpg #gamedev #indie

Tilemaps and collision are in for the Sega Dreamcast RPG Elysian Shadows! #dreamcast #gamedev

Working on UI for the Sega Dreamcast RPG Elysian shadows. I've got some nifty textboxes, but for everything else like health bars and buttoms we're gonna be primitive for now. #dreamcast #gamedev

More updates for the Sega Dreamcast RPG Elysian Shadows. This time I worked on a 4 directional character walking for my dreamcast controller. Moves like a top-down zelda game atm, and it feels pretty nice. Still tweaking it, but progress is progress. #dreamcast #gamedev #rpg

Back again with updates for the Sega Dreamcast RPG Elysian Shadows. For the last week I was working on tilemaps, and have an initial pass ready. More can always be done but I like the direction it's heading in. #pixelart #dreamcast #gamedev

More animations for the Sega Dreamcast RPG Elysian shadows. This time I'm focusing on a sideways run cycle. Decided to challenge myself by making it only 4 frames long (that way sprite sheet remains condensed). #pixelart #dreamcast #gamedev

More work on the Sega Dreamcast RPG Elysian Shadows. Starting off I'll be working on basic walk and run cycles (for 4 directions). This one has the front direction for walking #pixelart #dreamcast #gamedev

I've been on the down low for a bit, but decided to start game dev again for the Sega Dreamcast. I'm currently working on a demo for the RPG Elysian Shadows, starting with pixel artwork. We'll see how it goes. #pixelart #dreamcast #gamedev

Recently completed a story game in the style of the GBA with the help of @pedes1ayer.bsky.social ! It was alot of fun, and a lot of hard work! It's available for both windows and web. #sunofes novicearts.itch.io/the-land-of-...

At it again with more concept art for the Sega Dreamcast RPG: Elysian Shadows. This time a strapping fellow joins the party: Rand. He's quite the egotist, but he can back it up with cold, hard science. A passionate scholar... who's also a passionate drunkard. #art #pencil

Starting the week with more concept art for the Sega Dreamcast RPG: Elysian Shadows. This time, I'm doing an ensemble piece for the two party members Julien and Eryn. Lookin' more and more like a tag-team duo to me 😁 #art #pencil #drawing #indie

Back again with more concept art for the Sega Dreamcast RPG: Elysian Shadows. A new party member joins the fray: Eryn! Nerdiest of bookworms, she's a feisty and passionate individual. As a scholar and digger, she spends her free time hunting for ancient artifacts. #art #pencil #indie #dreamcast

More concept art for the Sega Dreamcast homebrew RPG: Elysian Shadows. Still fleshing out the main character Julien with more poses. Want to get a feel for him and his expressions. Stay tuned for more! #art #pencil #indie #dreamcast

I recently joined an indie homebrew development team as an artist working on a new game for the Sega Dreamcast. It is an RPG called Elysian Shadows, and is in active development. First order of business was concept art for the party's main character, Julien. Stay tuned! #art #dreamcast #indie

I decided to practice some form of "real life" drawing, since I haven't really tried that before. So I gave it a shot with tyrrion lannister. It was hard, but I learned alot abotu how to use the pencil #art #pencil #gameofthrones #fanart

I have opened a commissions page through artistree.io/novicearts . This is the only venue by which I accept commission requests.

I recently decided to draw some fanart for my favorite gba game - Zelda Minish Cap #zelda #GameBoyAdvance #fanart #pencil #art

Rough draft of a new app UI I'm working on #screenshotsaturday #indie

New post for my game development blog. This week I worked on 2D scenes and UI. playbench.substack.com/p/weekly-ben... #IndieGameDev

I recently started a game dev blog to chronicle in more detail my journey in writing games from scratch. It's early on but I expect it to grow over the year. playbench.substack.com #IndieGameDev

As I was working on my projects, I created a tiny pixel art font for rendering text. I found it useful, so I opened a store-page in case others would like it also. Check out my new font here: novicearts.itch.io/tiny-font-ro... #pixel_art #IndieGameDev
