Haven’t posted much in the last couple months as life has been busy busy! What I have been doing in my spare time is going back to basics, on paper of all things. Lots and lots of architecture I intend to absorb and implement in my project. Oh how I missed paper… #gamedev #indiedev #pixelartist

Game Dev Update Took a month break. Played some games. Pondered my art direction. Decided to unshackle myself from the 3 colour palette which I had initially implimented to reduce scope. Thoughts? WIP #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #pixelartist #indiegame #darkfantasy #rpg #dungeoncrawler #aesprite

A colleague told me I should try to share some old interesting tidbits from my 16 year pixel art career, so let's go: The caves of "Blasphemous" were actually directly inspired by the "Mummy Demastered". My work on the Mummy game made the Game Kitchen hire me as artist for B1. #pixelart #gamedev

Game Dev Update PRE-ALPHA FOOTAGE* Posted a lot of Aesprite mockups, figured it was time to show some in engine gameplay, featuring placeholders, cut off text, no music, the true indie dev experience! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #pixelartist #indiegame #darkfantasy #rpg #dungeoncrawler #aesprite

*AESPRITE MOCKUP* Game Dev Update. Revision 3.0 of the UI. Still a work in progress however this art direction is more inline with what I originally envisioned. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #pixelartist #indiegame #darkfantasy #rpg #dungeoncrawler #aesprite

Weekly game dev update. Working on a LOT of skill icons. As usual, my 3 colour palette and 16x16 leaves me little room for interpretation, but I think they are coming out great! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #pixelartist #indiegame #darkfantasy #screenshotsaturday #rpg #dungeoncrawler #aesprite

Game Dev Update. What a long week… or two… Many many revisions made to UI, with some changes slowly being imported to Godot from Aesprite. *Aesprite vs In Engine with CRT for comparison* #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #pixelartist #indiegame #darkfantasy #rpg #dungeoncrawler #aesprite

Spent today (12 hours straight LEL) rebuilding the entire UI for my project from scratch... pixel by pixel in Aesprite. Still WIP but we're in the home stretch. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #pixelartist #indiegame #darkfantasy #screenshotsaturday #rpg #dungeoncrawler #aesprite

Reworking combat for a proper first-person perspective. Lots still to do, enemy reactive animations, SFX/VFX, polish, but the direction feels right. #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #PixelArt #GameArt

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

Game Dev Update Drew a door today that now populates for single room branches on the map (woo) 🚪 I also had a cool idea to see what things would look like inverted for the (dark zones) you can cross and I’m actually pretty happy with how cool it turned out. #gamedev #aesprite #WIP #godot #pixelart

Have made small improvements to the geometry of this scene since my last post. This project is doing wonders for my understanding of vanishing points, I just wish my actual work and psych studies could take a break so I could pursue this project harder. Such is life. #pixelart #gamedev #aesprite

Game Dev Update Making it a little less uglier every day, new resolution background which is 2x what the old one used to be. Still entirely all still WIP and subject to change but it’s nice to see it come together. Next update actually shading the weapons? #pixelart #gamedev #aesprite #rpg

WIP*** Could I use a 3D tile based formula for my project. Perhaps… Will I hand draw everything myself in Aesprite instead… Likely 💀 #pixelart #gamedev #aesprite

Sharing an early pre-alpha gameplay preview of one of my projects currently in development. Very much a work in progress, nothing in this footage is final. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #godot4”

Why do morning stars SUCK in most games damage wise?? Mocked up some last night based on Elden Ring models since Elden Ring REFUSES to make even remotely powerful ones… I will solve this…

Portrait of the player I will be using in my future game project. Nice and simple 3 colour scheme for the whole game 😃

2026. Program - Aesprite Lospec Palette - Ephemera I just like to draw spooky things. This is probably one of my favourites in recent time. 💀

2026. - Disintegration Program - Aesprite Lospec Palette - Moonlight GB I was sitting on the couch rugged up in a blanky one day unsure what to draw. In a poor choice of decisions I thought “Let’a learn dithering AND hand anatomy at the same time!” Done in only 4 colours 🥲😂

2026. Program - Aesprite Lospec Palette - Midnight Blaze Another piece I drew this year. I’ve only been drawing pixel art again for 6 months after taking a 15 year break… crazy to think I abandoned this part of myself soon as I left high-school.

Decided to start posting my pixel art journey here as instagram sucks 😌 first landscape pixel art piece I made. I’ve come a long way since this…
