I absolutely despise this modern trend of artists / creatives using false scarcity to sell their courses / books etc. “sign ups closing soon” etc. Clearly it’s working for peoples numbers but it’s such utter bullshit is annoys me 🤣🤣

I’ve been playing a lot Submautica Below Zero. Such a nice chill game to bumble around with. Hugely prefer it to No Man’s Sky

I *will* get a proper playable protoype of this built this year! Just need to eek out more time for the gameplay sprites. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev 🎾🎾🎾

Below are some of the sketches I did before the pixel versions. These were for a client prototype project, so I had limited time. Working them up this way really sped up the whole process! #pixelart #sketching #aseprite #procreate

I wish there were more things from @vectorpark.com in the world. Still love loading up windowsill, feed the head, metamorpahbet etc. They're still as fresh today as they were decades earlier! I think 'Kids' is the closest art-as-game-as-art that I've played anytime recently. #gaming

This is one of the nicest game related art books I’ve ever bought! Really well designed! I still need to finish Eastward, probably time to get back to it! #gaming #pixelart

Steak sandwich at the eagle, £18. Fuck me 🤣

I still miss the days of animating in OG Flash! No IK or rigs. Probably just a ton of overlapping shapes and nested animations! So many awesome sites, games and animations died with the demise of flash. #animation #flash

Discord is worse than xcode when it comes to updates that block you doing work! ffs! Why are its updates so slow!

Quick and dirty background test. Nearly done. #pixelart #gamedev

Wonky little fox doodle before I head back into pixels! #illustration #procreate

This project was fun. Relatively short turnaround, 33 character designs. Minimal design time, then pixelart versions created with simple 4 frame idle animation. I'd not done anything like it previously so fun to take a swing at jobs like this! Will show more soon. #illustration #pixelart #gamedev

I've only had my Saturn a little while, but I've got a collection starting to come together. Loads I still want to pick up but they can be incredibly expensive! #retrogaming #saturn

Actually, there was one more animation for Jackmove, but unfortunately I didn't get this finished in time, got a bit stuck on the movement for this. She was supposed to reach into her bag for a revolver, fire, then slip it back in, in a interesting way. #pixelart #gamedev

The last little bit of spritework for Jackmove that was finished was some work on this existing mech. Having it rotate to show a flamethrower weapon, and the lid pop open to fire a energy beam of 3 types. #pixelart #gamedev

The lab tecnician sprites for Jackmove. Mixing up an attack buff potion and flinging out biro pens like ninja stars! 🖊️🥷🥼🧪 #pixelart #gamedev

My favourite animation I did for Jackmove, the fluffy bats! Still love the little wind-up spin attack! #pixelart #gamedev

Another Jackmove enemy. The 'Mainframe Protector'. Essentially a white blood cell with the remains of a Mainframe Virus half consumed. #pixelart #gamedev

More sprites I animated for Jackmove. The idles would usually be running at half speed so they look a bit too fast here. These were bloody hard to animate 😅 #pixelart #gamedev

The self-replicating 'Mainframe Virus' enemy, I animated for the JRPG, Jackmove. Quite fun and gross the hatching animation! #pixelart #gamedev

Long before pixels and vectors, I used to illustrate stuff like this. #illustration #typography #stippling

Still a bit janky but this will do! Next up; idle, then E/W, N and attack. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev
