It's been 5 years to the day since I released Flynn: Son of Crimson with the team. That time has FLOWN. It was such a great time with Studio Thunderhorse. 💜 The climate is so much different nowadays when I think back. Forgive my reminiscent ramblings. 😅

Spent some time "painting over" a battle scene of Final Fantasy Resonance where I adjusted most of the UI. Tried to keep the general aesthetic while transitioning it to pixel art and giving it a little more flair. I loved the demo, but I wish the battle UI got a little more attention!

Hello again! I am still looking for either full-time or contract work. I've been working in games for close to 15 years now and have done just about every role you can do on the 2D art side of things including UI, implementation, art directing and team management (and I actually love it all).

FFT upscale fanart. Original sprites included for reference.

Isometric Sprites of Final Fantasy Tactics Characters. From left to right; Mustadio, Gafgarion, Agrias and Cidolfus. Below them is the original sprite that they are based off. All of the sprites are placed onto a subtle grey isometric grid background.

When I submitted the design for Cactus Man for MegaMan Dual Override, this is roughly what I had in mind. I've based the mockup on the player filling the arena with sand in this playthrough. #pixelart #ドット絵 #megaman

Megaman facing off against cactus man in a stone chamber. The room underneath their platform is filling with sand. Several robotic cacti are visible around the room

Isometric isn't usually my thing but I felt inspired.

Isometric pixel art sprites of Agrias Oaks from Final Fantasy Tactics. On the left is a custom sprite more proportionate to the games concept art. On the right is the original sprite from the PS1 game.

all the sentence-puzzle icons I had to draw for Tangle Tower, and then again for The Mermaid Mask. There's an obvious scope difference, but it's also interesting to compare the colours and vibes - Tangle Tower is all punchy fruit/flowers/gems/etc, Mermaid Mask is quite murky and slimy in comparison

Water...! Five frame loop. Migraine-inducing nightmare to draw, massive regrets halfway through. Next: rivers (and associated features), lakes?, and some impassable rocky coast/ocean tiles.

Just realized I never shared this here TMNT art in the style of old Bengus art (circa MvC1.) Made the Turtles, and was initially just going to add April O'Neil, ended up adding Splinter, Bebop and Rocksteady as well. I made these during a number of livestreams. Could be fun to add more.

Square layout of the Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles, along with April O'Neal, Bebop, Rocksteady and Master splinter in the style of old Marvel Vs Capcom 1 portraits. The colors are very intense.

Assets that I made for the 2024 Roguelike Celebration Steam sale page. 🧑‍🎨 The tallish tile size here I'm very fond of. I choose it because it reminds me of the tall grid often in ASCII roguelikes, but it also had some benefits when it came to actually draw the tiles & sprites.
