I have made some promo art/key art/whatever you call it for @gremlinparty.com , a game I've been a part of since a while, I'm mostly doing 2D art, concept art, and some style direction. Check 'em out yo!

i started working on some character specific mechanics for my game! i still have a very long way to go so i'm pacing myself! some of these may look familiar if you played their rivals of aether versions... (1/4) #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart

In the process of redesigning Lillian, an OC I've had since high school 🧚 🗡️ #art #wip #myOCs #fairy #fantasyArt

Two renditions of Lillian between 2021 and 2025, featuring her classic green tunic and light use of plate mail. She's gotten taller and more expressive since the last version.

Comparison of my sketch to a draw over by @nexil. They suggested increasing the leaf/petal imagery across her look, including ornaments and a hat.
I really liked their suggestion of switching the metallic armor with a gambeson for a sleeker look.

[Workshop Similarities] Roxie and Renny are meeting up with Bar and Pastelle, and both duos certain things in common. 👊🔥🖍️🖋️ (Bar by @barkun.bsky.social, Pastelle by @kocakup.com] #JoseMat2953 #RivalsofAether #SteamWorkshop #crossover #interactions

Roxie is speaking about her fire powers to Bar, who seems not too surprised with his friends (and allies) being extraordinary themselves (also because Roxie isn't an angel like he is), while Renny is showing off the capabilities of his rainbow crayon to pen sword-fighter Pastelle, who's amazed seeing him form a sword and other weapons from his own hand. I think they'd all get along just fine.

Here's the first half of the Rivals Workshop Interactions art, featuring Roxie Laymore (my OC), and Bar (@barkun.bsky.social) 👊🔥 #RivalsofAether #crossover #interaction #JoseMat2953

Roxie talking to Bar about how they both have a form of fire powers, while the way she got hers is probably different from however Bar got his.
