I had a lot of fun putting this castle together when I was first learning pixel art, adding tiny details for the player to discover. It's much tighter and more polished than my first attempts, but isn't as organic as my style eventually became. #pixelart #gameart #indiegame

When you play, do you keep it simple with a few trusted pieces of gear, or bling your bag out with specialized equipment for every situation? #pixelart #gameart #indiegame

Evolutions of a Tudor town house! The first version is detailed but perhaps a little too exact. The second is more dynamic, but looks less finished. I was still learning to find the spirit and color in more polished pixel art.

Throwback Thursday to my first medieval village! Which business would you run? Is your answer different for a game than for real life? I think I'd pick the pharmacy or the bookshop! #pixelart #indiegame #gameart

Thank you so much for the comment and cheers! Yes, that was my answer, too, haha! :) Keep up the great work yourself!

Which can deal greater damage: the freezing potion, the fire potion, or the love potion? #pixelart #indiegame #gameart

Thank you so much! That means a lot. And I love the art from Sword of Mana. That series is one of our influences!

So many anime and j-doramas involve smushing the love interest, or bopping them (especially girls) on the head and squawking “BAAAKA!!!” It makes me wonder if this is a frequent real life occurrence in Japan!

An enjoyable evening spent tinkering with grass I've been trying to workshop grass that looks lush but not distracting or noisy. What are some of your favorite examples of grass and ground textures in games you love? #pixelart #gameart #indiegame

It’s interesting because the bent-over posture makes him look elderly (or at least wizened) and I’ve never really considered elderly zombies! Thank you for sharing!

Holy smokes! This is SO evocative of the 1980s baptism/first Communion/For a Special 3 Year Old - God Bless You on Your Birthday greeting card industry EXCEPT with an alien sheep. I have so many of those little cards in my scrapbook so this is comforting and disorienting all at once 😆

Me too! Is the one on the right a mythological creature? What’s its name?

Do you do the animation first, and then lay the different facial features on top, or do the faces first, and animate them all using the same steps?

Oh! I was SO intrigued by Kachina dolls as a kid. I had the nicest puffy foil Kachina doll stickers and I never used them, just admired them over and over.

I’ve always appreciated little hints as I go. It’s helpful, but doesn’t take away from the gameplay too much.

I'm trying to get a #VGenCode so I can start doing commissions on VGen. This post must get 20 reblogs and 100 likes for me to get in, so please consider helping me out. I plan on doing both #pixelart and #vectorart once I'm on there. Here's a few samples of the vectors. Thanks! #art #kitty

That’s how I think of it, now that you mention it. It needs some dark, something edgy, to throw the good in sharper relief. (Also I like to add cayenne to my hot chocolate!)

I love tree bark! I could draw it forever; it's so meditative. And I love that I can change it for each tree, giving them their own "fingerprint." What's something you obsess over creating? #pixelart #gameart #indiegame
