You know what? Sure, you can have another little guy. This one's on the house. #pixelart
A 4-colour pixelart of a very pathetic-looking creature. It looks like some kind of seal walking on its hind flippers, but it's face is more reminiscent of a cephalopod (though it does have nostrils).

Its legs are round and stubby, and it doesn't have a tail. Its entire body is covered in a ring pattern.

Hello, #PortfolioDay! I'm Deadkat, a French pixelartist mostly working with mixed media (3D+pixelart) and very limited palettes (usually 4 or 5 colours)! I use shaders to add neat effects to my art too! Oh, and I have a website now :) deadkat.art
A 4-colour pixelart of a skeleton-like creature standing in a windy hill (3d scene). Fallen stars are strewn around, as well as star-themed props (flowers, etc.).

The character is wearing a long dress and poofy sleeves.A 4-colour pixelart of a moth-tgemed anthropomorphic cat standing in a fiery forest (3d scene). The piece uses double-width pixels.

The character is wearing a small poncho-like garment around their shoulders and a singed skirt with zigzag patterns on it. They're also wearing cubic glass boots which are lanterns.A 4-colour pixelart of a symmetrical angel in a dark room/space (3d scene). The space features pools with helix-shaped smooth tendrils coming out of them, as well as swamp branch-like plants.

The angel is standing above a water canal and has some kind of vortex behind them, as well as a huge second pair of wings.

The angel themselves are wearing armor with eyes on them.A 4-colour 3d scene of a metro in a station with small props here and there (bubbles, lillypads, cattails...).

The piece uses an isometric view and the inside of the metro can be seen.

Inside are a variety of characters drawn with pixelart at 1/4th resolution:

A small bipedal rabbit with no arms and a big nose, a star child with a bit bow on top, a sneaky lad with a pointy nose peeking out from behind a handlebar/coming out of it, a long cat chomping a handlebar, q sleepy alien and a little bipedal creature with hair and swirly glasses)

Mofusand plushie whose sole purpose is to mock me
A Mofusand "plushie". It's a little orange and white cat wearing a shark costume. The packaging calls it a "posture pal" and makes it clear that it should be shoved between you and your desk when sitting down tolay back a bit more and hopefully improve posture.

New little guy, also drawn during commute #pixelart
A 4-colour pixelart of a small shingle-shaped creature. It has two little flippers for its arms and weird shoes/ridged feet. It has a pointy zigzagging mouth and white eyes with dark scleras. It also has ear pincers with a singular spike in each of them.

Bulky little guy! #pixelart
A 4-colour pixelart of a quadrupedal creature with a heart-shaoed face. It has big bulging eyes and a fat tail which is pointy at its end. It also has little tufts of hair on the heart "bumps" and scales . The scales on its front-left leg go the opposite way

Little guys - new batch I still don't know how to feel about the last one, and the first one was made before they became a series; I had just forgotten about them until now. #pixelart
A variety of 4-colour pixelart creatures. There are 7 of them and each and every one is using a different palette. All of them use a 64 by 64 pixels canvas and are reminiscent of animals.

I'm currently putting my pixelart pieces in my display program, and it's been fun to use the "empty" space in my colour palette texture to have a better indication of which piece is which
A simple texture with a bright green background and coloured squares. In the empty space are 3 y 3 pixel letters with simple indications refering to which pixelart they are linked to (Angel, Moth, Star, Jest, Clem, 1 Bit and Umbrl)

sdf(-ish?) based outlines in Blender to see if I could make something like smash 3DS' outlines... It has a bunch of downsides (might work weird with alpha values, only provides outline for the scene and not per model...) with how I implemented it, but it kinda works I guess
a few smash 3DS models are t-posing and have black outlines around themThe node setup allowing the outlines to work. It's based on a blurred alpha pass

Welp, I'm working on a very tight deadline, so the best packaging I could get for my sticker sheets were a bunch of red envelopes. I decided they'd need to be a bit silly so I bought a marker and I'm trying to doodle the little guys to put on the envelopes... They might end up a bit wonky, sorry 🙂‍↕️

I've also received the merch I plan to sell at PaP (packaging will be tricky due to time constraints). I made an important change to this character. It originally started as a vent piece for my cAVM and was codenamed Damocles. They're smiling now, to emphasise how my outlook on life changed :)
An acrylic keychain of an anthropomorphic black mouse floating in midair with sparks coming out of their ears. They look at peace and are smiling.

Their outfit is made of lots of ribbons/bows; for instance, their stockings have ribbons wrapped around the shins and are tied up in a bow just under the back of the knee.

Display done! Now I just need to add the pieces and the colour palettes (I'm targeting 4 per piece at most, unlike last year's 8 per piece which ended up being a LOT of work) Look! It almost, kinda, somewhat, maybe looks a tad professional...

They call it "The funniest way ever conceived to draw a gradient in Gamemaker" (I was too lazy to set up a shader, lol)

Hmm, this looks like... a little guy... #pixelart
A little 4-colour 64 by 64 pixels creature. It's a little bipedal friend with ears going downwards and a long face, reminiscent of a reptilian in shape. Its teeth are protruding out and its blobby tail is in an S shape behind its back.

It's standing on its two legs and is slightly hunched, and some weird scale/fur pattern is creating a shape similar to a tee-shirt around the torso area.

my half-asleep dumbass take on people only latching onto "aah yes, it's rococo" (though I do agree with the latter part of the video comparing it to overly detailed 70s fantasy art a lot more). Tl;Dr, idk man, idk...
A discord messgae reading : 

I'm only half sold on the rococo part; I agree there's a lot of detail, but it lacks the very, VERY unique look pastel gave it
a lot of rococo paintings depicting daytime scenes felt a lot more harmonious and less harsh on the  detail contrast; most of the detail was on cloth folds and architecture ornaments as well as fur; vegetation itself blended a lot with itself despite the detail
idk, the more I look at rococo paintings, the more I feel like it's not that
 [four rococo-era paintings are shared after that, or at least paintings made by rococo artist]
admittedly, you could say Fragonard's work does fit more closely, but even then, I feel like the lack of colour shifts (mainly the lack of reds, actually) is a strong indication that it's not that https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Honoré_Fragonard 
or not entirely
if it was, I think they'd have gone for bloom (similar to twilight princess maybe), instead of gloss for highlight shading

Sorry for all the confusion, I should have presented and worded it better from the start! At least, it provides a nice/easy to map overview of which "recomps" probably suck to play. From what I can see, it's a js dev who went all in with this because their commit history is. Interesting?

The very few empty tiles probably are from when they were on holidays or something
