RIP #PortfolioDay layout 😭 This changes all of your old posts with multiple images to a carousel format. Also if your image ratios are 16:9, more of it gets chopped off (the first two images in my example are 1:1). Time to explore some ideas for the new format I guess 🤔 #PixelArt

Screenshot of my pinned post AFTER the latest update. You can only see two of the four uploaded images, and the second one is cut on one side - indicating an image carousel.

Screenshot of the same post BEFORE the update, with four images in equally sized thumbnail previews.

my entry for the 30 Years of Tamagotchi Game Jam! I loved my Tamagotchi (even though it was the pink one). At the school gate Mum said all the parents would be looking after their kids' ones until the bell rang 😂 what colour did you have? 💩 #PixelArt #Aseprite #Tamagotchi #1BitArt #1Bit

Heyoo I'm TJ, a trans guy from the UK living in Buenos Aires! 🧉 I celebrate the parts of my childhood that shaped who I am today. 🥰 I work with game devs to create worlds that help us discover our true selves. Let's work together! ✉ hello@tjtrewin.com #TransDayOfVisibility #PixelArt #IndieGameDev

1-bit pixel art in desaturated lime green and dark brown, inspired by The Legend of Zelda gameboy style. I created individual tiles based on a prompt list for the Septembit 2025 challenge by Saultoons and used them to create a game mockup.

Details include: Link's character sprite, a great fairy fountain, a whispering stone, minecart and tracks, a tower with a big rupee, and various shop buildings.

Pixel art body shape studies using a limited 5 colour palette. Four different body types are shown in masculine and feminine form, with a central skeleton. They are about 16 by 48 pixels in size.

Trim Jim (slender), Gym Jim (very muscular), Slim Jim (underweight), Chin Jim (overweight), and Grim Jim (skeleton)

Promotional image for Knightwood fantasy pixel font. More than 250 languages supported, 16px tall, and includes bonus glyphs (examples shown are the decorative border, dungeon chains, and pixel art sword - they are all made using box-drawing characters within the font)!

Promotional image for pixel paper scrolls & ribbons tileset with a preview in the background of different paper edges, corners, rolled parts, flowing parts, holes, snags, folds, and torn paper.

In the foreground, an example sneak peek is shown in context for making a fantasy pixel art map.

WIP sneak peek 👀 I've unpacked my desk after moving house and I'm back working on this custom "hi-res" pixel typewriter font commission through VGen 😁 spacing tweaks to follow, but first making sure my client is all good with the scale before drawing the rest 🙌 #PixelArt #Font #VGen #TypeDesign

Work in progress screenshot in FontLab 8 type design software showing the lowercase letters from a-z drawn in a gritty, pixel art typewriter style.

some WIP sneak peeks of a "hi-res" monospaced typewriter pixel font for a commission I'm working on :D my client requested MOAR TEXTURE! 🙌 we've also decided to increase the sizing a smidge to allow more room for the italic and bold versions later :D (top row = v1) #PixelArt #TypeDesign #VGenComm

Pixel art typewriter font work in progress sample with two rows of lowercase letters on evenly spaced grids. The first shows letters a-h in a smaller size and cleaner style, the second row shows a larger version with more gritty texture.

The small text to the left of each row reads: UC32 x21, and UC36 x24. These indicate the uppercase size in pixels (UC) and x-height size in pixels (x).

yesssssssssssssssss!! it's so good 😭👌 omg that reminds me - there was *one* joke that I didn't understand for years until I learnt that: in the UK we have this type of mint called Polos but in the US they have Life Savers. 🤦‍♂️ so obviously in my family we'd frequently ask "can I have a magic polo?"

Game on 😜 Anyone want to try a colour matching memory game? dialed.gg?c=JH8V7V this was fun xD

Results panel of the dialed.gg colour matching memory game. Five colour swatches are shown with a diagonal top left (my pick) / bottom right (colour to match) comparison.

Text: Top 1% of all players. 48.69/50. One point from perfect. That one point will haunt you forever.

I'm actually in the process of updating my palette! I love my most used ones but there's like, a whole chunk of 'em that I've never put to use... 😅 and when I went to make my overworld tileset, I *really* needed to swap some out for nicer stone colours because EVERYTHING LOOKED LIKE BAKED BEANS

WIP development screenshot of some 16x16 overworld pixel art tiles. The old colour palette (left) didn't have many warm grey colours, so I had to use brown tones instead which made the rocky walls look like baked beans. The updated palette (right) looks like stone now! I also adjusted the greens, and the water is a little more cyan now.

Example map level made using my 16x16 pixel art tileset. A river with rickety wooden bridges, rocky cliffs with steps, grass tiles with overgrown and flower variants, trees, bushes, stones, twigs, and mushrooms. Oh and a flower.

🧰 Aseprite 🖊 mouse (pen for sketching + large pieces) 🖼 my favourite sizes are 16x16 and 32x32 but it depends what the project is! :D I've made a 128 colour palette that I pick from, and I love setting a limit of 8 or so colours :3 it's like a fun puzzle to me #PixelArt #Aseprite

16x16 pixel art hand cursors: pointing index finger, hover (index finger raised), click (press/poke), hand holding magnifying glass (zoom), back of open hand, back of closed hand (grab). More skin tones available, too!

Pixel art body shape studies in 16x46 size using 5 colours. Four different character body types are shown in masculine and feminine forms: Trim Jim (slender), Gym Jim (muscular), Slim Jim (underweight), Chin Jim (overweight) - and in the middle: Grim Jim (skeleton).

My entry for Saultoons' Septembit 2025 challenge, in which I created different sized 1-bit pixel art assets based on one word prompts, and used them to assemble a final level. The original theme was "city", but I wanted to take a Zelda-inspired spin on it! (The pixel fonts are also my own design)

Text: Knightwood fantasy pixel font. 250+ languages, bonus glyphs, 16px tall.
The sword beneath the title, decorative border frame, and dungeon chains are all made using the font - they're decorative characters you can use in ASCII art & similar things!

Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm TJ, a pixel artist making icons, tilesets, and fonts. I'm also an award winning worldbuilder and I love making free tools & resources for it! I'm open for commissions & contracted work :D 🌐 www.tjtrewin.com 📋 vgen.co/tjtrewin 🔗 tjtrewin.itch.io ✉️ hello@tjtrewin.com

An example of my fantasy pixel font called Knightwood, showing thematic fantasy words from A-Z. Below are examples of words, numbers, and symbols commonly used in video games (such as for high scores, xp, timers, and progress).

A decorative border frames the showcase, and dungeon chains hang in the background - these are box drawing elements included in the font that you can type using text!

A showcase of pixel art paper GUI elements made using my pixel paper pack tileset. Examples include horizontal pages that can be pristine, have subtle or deep fold lines, curled corners, rips, snags, or burn marks. Ribbons and banners with elegant loops can be used for titles and headings and work well with fantasy themes!

A pixel art showcase of blank character body types, each in masculine and feminine forms. They are 16 x 48 pixels and use 5 colours.

Trim Jim: an "average" body type of those shown in this example. Gym Jim: a strong and highly muscular build. Grim Jim: a skeleton (center). Slim Jim: a slender, skinny body type. Chin Jim: an overweight body type.

My entry for the pixel art Septembit 2025 challenge, where I created 1-bit assets based on word prompts and pre-defined sizes. The final prompt was to use all of the assets to create a "city"! I chose instead to make part of a top down town inspired by The Legend of Zelda titles on Gameboy consoles :D

This is the non-animated version, featuring a river, rower, railway tracks and a cart, different houses, a great fairy fountain, whispering stone, and environment tiles like paths, grass, bushes, and plants.

Title scroll: "The Legend of Septembit, 2025"
The scroll and fonts are also my own design using previously made assets.

I want to do another tileset soon, what shall I make next? 😍 🔹 different GUI elements? 🌳 environment tiles? #PixelArt #Aseprite #GameDev #IndieGameDev

Image text: "Scrolls & Ribbons Tileset"
A thumbnail preview showing pixel art paper scrolls, with a sneak peek of tiles in the background containing torn edges, folds, corners, and scroll elements. The foreground element partially shows an example of combined assets used for a pixel art map on parchment.

A sample of pre-made pixel art paper assets using the tileset. Examples include: a blank parchment with subtle fold marks, another but with curled edges and deep creases, another with ragged edges and a burnt area forming a hole. Small thin scrolls are included with looping folds, and there are ribbons suitable for one, two, or three lines of text.

A preview of the pixel paper tileset with various edges, flowing folds, textures, and corners to pick and choose from.

ok one more pic because this is the part that deeply satisfies my need for lists: big 'ol view of everything. (which you can slap filters on if you only want to see certain folders) and you can refresh results & add/remove stuff to the lists without needing to open a note 😍

Heading text: "View multiple generators to use, edit, and create"

it also does randomised images/cards which I use in my private vault for things like character portraits and maps

Image heading text: "Create randomised lists and galleries of notes".
Background screenshot showing a dashboard note in Obsidian, with a filtered list of recently modified notes to continue editing, followed by a featured notes gallery with a randomised selection of image cards.

I've also been playing around with randomising the worldbuilding notes in my vault. I included a dashboard template that shows you a list of notes tagged "draft" or "WIP" (you can customise this), and if you're as indecisive as me, there's an optional standalone refresh button 😂

120

The neat thing is, you can choose to turn the results into links so you can make new notes on the fly :D AND, AND if you already USED a result, the link already shows that a note exists! (can you tell I had way too much fun making this)
