I love pixelart, drawing my own characters, and apparently gamedev.

The one with many eyes and a weak suit of armor.

Observer
A character of mine, Adama, in her insect form and with her attached wings. She is standing unsteadily with one arm limp and the other holding her head, which is leaning forward. Her eyes aren't visible, and instead many duplicates of an eye projection magic are staring. Across the gaps in her armor are small white holes, some forming into eyes themselves. A strange eye filled black mold grows on the back of her right leg ( left in viewing reference ). Above her head are visuals for spikes pointing away from her, and then longer pointier ones aiming at her head. The area behind her, and the eyes across her glow.

Fun fact: The main continent shapes are based on two splatters of plaster in the ceiling above my bed. Haven't been able to find them since i started looking back at the old map sprite lmao ( and here it is for reference, hehe )

A happy creature playing with fire in the sunset!
A character of mine, Adama, holding a torch and fire in her hands playing around with it. a large bonfire is to her right, and the two stars are setting behind her.

I dont think i'll ever get tired of drawing them, lmao. Experimenting with visual changes as they get older, and become a little less human over time.
A somewhat older Adama with their antenna pointing down and then back, staring annoyedly to the right.

Doodle, Adama trying to find ways to cover up her antennae and arm. Unfortunately the metal antlers weigh a ton and are miserable to carry around all day!
A doodle of a character of mine Adama, leaning forward a bit and looking uncomfortable. She's wearing a large metal gauntlet to cover up her entire right arm, so that the insectoid part can't be seen. And similarly, she's traded for a pair of Eikvenn antlers to cover up the two antennae on her head. Their antlers grow out as nearly solid copper, so despite hollowing them out to fit her antennae its still really heavy!

Just wanted to say that for the last couple weeks bluesky has consistently put the pages of this you share as the first thing i see when i wake up and reach for my phone, and that has been a joy every time i see it pop up again <3

Rather convenient bit of magic to have, but having that thing snap to your direction and look you right in the eye tends to unsettle people so she tries not to use it, heh.

One fun little note about Adama that i've drawn more recently: This eye shape isnt a real eye, but rather from a light projection spell she can see from that lets her keep her real eyes closed in danger.

This is a wild one, I rarely draw blood or even violence because i never manage to find the inspiration, but i had a lot of fun creating this heh. Probably cant post this on tumblr because they'll flag and hide my account so bluesky exclusive LOL

Take Heart. ( The graphic content warning is because this art has a lot of blood in it! )
A grey moonlit night on a ship at sea. Adama is reaching forcefully into the chest of a fishlike monster, aiming to rip it out. The creature's arm is pinned to the ship's mast by way of a harpoon. Her gaze meets neither its eyes or where she's reaching into.

Its either i wake up at an ok time and have enough time to reawaken and do somethin, or i wake up way too late and im fucked and there goes my sleep schedule LOL gotta set an alarm for a nap which feels silly.

Starschulz @starschulz.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
It can sometimes be a similar feeling to when i'd come home from construction work. Feels like the best thing to do some days is gamble on a nap and maybe wake up feeling like drawing somethin, heh. But i've got the timezone advantage in that aspect, i think.

A lineart stage of a Wip, with Ria on the left leaning towards Adama on the right, with her arm in front of her, looking angry and speaking. Adama hiding behind the arm a bit and looking worried, with her hand on Ria's shoulder. Why is Ria like this.

Some of the coolest hat mods ever made were done for this, and honestly my favorite out of all the mods ive ever made was the starfox mod made for this, heh. Good times all around

This has probably been the hardest thing for me to still be figuring out, despite choosing years ago that if i make art it should be only because i want to. I like sharing what i make but not everything needs to be, heh.

Adama designs, with the right one being 10 years older.
A younger Adama on the left, and an older one on the Right. 

On the left, she's wearing a short sleeve top and shorts, with the rest of her body except her head covered in bandages. 
On the right, she's wearing a shorter pair of shorts and has a couple spots covered in bandages, replacing her top with them as well. Her right arm is larger, and made of a cracked ceramic like material, and her ears are replaced with different length antennae. 

She would be mid 20's on the left, and mid 30's on the right.

Best runescape update ever, finally i can fish on the ocean in peace
fishing on the ocean in oldschool runescape, on a raft. the update adds static fishing spots in the ocean accessible by sailing which are very cool because you never need to move and only have to leave when the ship's cargo fills up!
