Heyoo I'm TJ, a trans guy from the UK living in Buenos Aires! 🧉 I celebrate the parts of my childhood that shaped who I am today. 🥰 I work with game devs to create worlds that help us discover our true selves. Let's work together! ✉ hello@tjtrewin.com #TransDayOfVisibility #PixelArt #IndieGameDev

Gang! We already have some great submissions to Birbday Jam, so you just know I'm going to start a thread! itch.io/jam/birbday-...

Adding to the collection

I had the house to myself today, but I was a GoodBoy and caught up with allllllll of the housework that I intended on doing 🙌🧼 AND I told myself that I'd not start #FieldsOfMistria until I'd finished my birdwatching art zine I just finished 😤 mfw it's already past my bedtime 😭😭

Best art advice ever.

People ask how I do illustrations at very small pixelart resolutions. The trick is practice, and the exercise to practice is this: 1. draw your character 2. halve the resolution (now you can't fit all the details; pick what to keep), 3. halve again to 1/4. After that, 1/2 res feels roomy.

Rebranding one of my schools of magic and doing some font upgrades at the same time @tjtrewin.com was kind enough to add the overdot characters to his fonts and I upgraded mine. #indiedev #irishgamedev #fonts

been thinking a bit about people doing all sorts of upscaling on old games with prerendered backgrounds and it hit me that it would be kinda fun to use the extra resolution to make them look worse in interesting ways instead, like trying to make the it look like a scanned 90s game mag screenshot

I took part in a coastal clean up at the reserve yesterday 🥰 we filled 4 of those massive city recycling bags with trash! 3 of which can be recycled! 🙌 I'm certainly feeling the aches today after helping to haul those back through the nature reserve to the entrance 😱 #BeachClean

Why are you trans? (Wrong answers only) So I could get to eat a Yorkie bar.

This was a fun VGen request! The open book symbolises a welcoming space for authors & book nerds, with the bookmark forming the shape of a pride flag - a welcome space for LGBTQ+ folks and the queer characters represented in their stories 🥰 also the B is two books! #PixelArt #VGenComm #LogoDesign
