Immensely disappointed in those who witch hunted Yunayu off of Bluesky over a gender-bent Draco Malfoy drawing. Do better.

Elizabeth in a Bunny suit.
I believe this is my first suggestive art piece.
I drew this for that Twitter trend, "Bunny Day".

Some of my OCs and a strange octopus-like creature. #pixeart #gamedev #oc #aseprite

My OCs, in appearance from Left to Right:
Nickolas O'Tyme - Saviour of Elodea
Noelle O'Tyme - Sister to Nick
Marie Valentine - Girl trapped between worlds
Wayland Valentine (Masc and Fem) - Unwilling hero of ShadowFall

The Daemon, pronounced "Demon" or "Day-mon". is a green octopus looking creature hailing from Cevithir (Physical Hell), they don't function well on their own (or at least, this kind of Daemon) and instead work as a hive mind with the Daemon Monarch or a being of higher power.
A single Daemon is a docile creature and doesn't usually attack unless provoked, they are more threatening to other creatures such as the Kouneli.
Their organ system is a bit...strange. Their eye socket can be repurposed into a mouth hole by re-arranging it's internal organs, it sounds disgusting because it is, although they don't receive any nutrients from straight feeding, they do absorb energy by attaching themselves to their victim like a parasite.
They smell like sulfur.
Daemons are very lightweight creatures and can fly, they move similar to an octopus swimming, but in the air, but much faster because no water to slow them down.
It doesn't need to mate to reproduce, the monarch does that.
They make a horrible screeching noise when attacking and after killing it's victim, almost like a warcry.

Very much done with their sprite sheets. I'm going to keep them both named Wade. 1. So it doesn't disrupt the flow of the game by making the player think of two different names 2. Because I don't want to find a feminine counterpart for the name #pixelart #gamedev #OC

Here's a remake of a 4 year old sprite! His (or her) name is Wade. They hail from Crescendo, the moon opposite to Oblivion, and are the kin of Marie. (Old sprite is the second image) #pixelart #gamedev #OC

- New Wade sprite sheet -
Created originally for an RPG in 2022, Wade is the unwilling protagonist of Quest of The Minnows. He comes from the same royal bloodline that Marie is apart of. Wanting to abandon that forced commitment of the crown, Wade lives in the outskirts of the castle town, with his family occasionally visiting him just to make sure he's ok in solitude.
With no knowledge as to where his sister is, his top priority is to find her, that is, until he had a nightmarish lucid dream where Cevithir arose from the heart of the castle, letting shadows and daemons sprawl his home.
With this newfound fear, he rushes to castle town to warn his parents of this dream, until the same dream comes to fruition and Cevithir floods his home.
With the last request of his queen-mother who was barely outside the castle before the corruption started, to find King William's Chain Sword and return to the castle to save Wade's king-father.

The old Wade sprite from 2022.
In old QoTM lore, Wade wasn't royalty and was some common townsperson but, with the gift of having "Minnowish blood", the Minnowish were god-like beings created to lead the people of Crescendo; Having a nightmare of something dooming his home, he goes to castle town to warn the royal family.

On the 31st of May, The Depths Below had officially reached it's second year of existence. Despite it's still unfinished state, it has been really fun to work on. As always, more in the alt. #pixelart #gamedev

Development for TDB didn't start 2 years ago, rather another whole year, back in November of 2023. The Depths Below was initially conceived of July of that year.
Originally starting off as a breakaway point off of the Scratch engine, it has now become a more grander project and a small piece of a larger story.

All of the Kits/Classes with the 5 different accent colors surrounding the Pretty Princess.
Appearance in order (right to left):
-> Purple Saviour
-> Red Vampiric
-> Blue Medic
| Pretty Princess
<- Blue Saviour
<- Green Medic
<- Yellow Vampiric

There is a fourth kit, Panik, but it's just a stock drone with a balloon attached to them, so, they haven't been properly added in yet.

Did some remakes of some old player sprites for my game. The new ones are the second row while the old ones are the first row. #pixelart #gamedev

- Dicenio re-sprite
Complete redesign, went the direction of having the sweater be the center of attention. I also fixed his head to be pixel consistent.
- Rook re-sprite
An identical twin to Dice, Rook is actually (a pixel) shorter!
- Cecilia re-sprite
I was contemplating on Cecilia's legs, so she's still a bit w.i.p

I've been busy workin on my own game, The Depths Below, but I was able to get a w.i.p goin for this gal- Her name is Giselle, she's a type of Valkyrie/Angel. (as always, alt text for lore!) #art #OC

This is Giselle, she's a type of Valkyrie, or maybe an Angel?
She's going to be appearing in Drop Dash Solutions!
Her role is to be a kind of adversary and guardian towards Nick. As with most of Nick's companions, they meet while fighting each other, after being bested in the 1v1. Giselle vows to protect Nick with her life.
Now, I think it would be interesting to note that Giselle could also be a love interest to Nick!?
Giselle finds herself in the depths to be apart of a guild that finds themselves to be "Holy Protecters" of Elodea and the Zealots, she is the eldest and 1st member of this guild. Now in the drawing, which is a w.i.p, her wings look like classic feathered wings, in DDS, her wings are going to be mechanical. 'Earning your wings', as the guild would call it, means you have officially earned your place as a Valkyrie/Angel.
Her weapon of choice being a Chain Spear.
In DDS, you would have the option to either save Marie or fight Giselle, now mind you, both of these interactions are optional and would not be required to reach the end.
Oh and you can only befriend one, as a love triangle would just be kinda unnecessary lol.
