I've made a 3rd entry for @faekmon.bsky.social 's #babyboomchallenge. These have been coming along a lot faster than before; perhaps its because I'm not just starting from scratch with these? Either way, here's snom. #babyboomchallenge #pokemon #fakemon #snom #art

Another one, right after the first; here's a Seedot for @faekmon.bsky.social 's #babyboomchallenge. #babyboomchallenge #pokemon #fakemon #seedot #art

As it turns out, I haven't drawn any fakemon (at least in this style/medium) since December 2024 👀. With that said, here's a special Pikipek for @faekmon.bsky.social 's #babyboomchallenge. More below. #babyboomchallenge #pokemon #fakemon #pikipek #art

Look at this dog I made #brownpelican #art

Merry Christmas! I remade this old nutcracker piece from some time ago. I posted a lot less this year which was much more manageable , but I'd like to post a little more next year; even still this'll probably be the last post for this year, so happy early new year! #art #pixelart #nutcracker

Simply put, if I see a post using AI, I block the person who posted it. I don’t care who you are. I don’t care why you think it’s ok to use gen AI. I don’t care if you are reposting someone else’s gen AI and you didn’t personally make it. I’m just blocking you because I just don’t wanna see gen AI.

I've reanimated (👻) this pumpkin for Halloween #deltarune #jackenstein #halloween

Finally, the last stage in my entry for @just_a_husk.bsky.social 's #fakemonsixstars art contest; its a bit late, but still on time. This is the bug/fairy Eksplokralja, the Twisted King Pokémon (from the Slovene words for blast and king). 1/14 #pokemon #fakemon #centipede #bugtype #fairytype

Here's the first of the 2 final stages for @just_a_husk 's #fakemonsixstars art contest: The bug/psychic Castrelaziti The Sharpshooter Pokémon (from čarostřelec (which I'll get into, but means warlock marksman) and the Slovene words for wizard, sniper, and crawl). 1/14 #pokemon #fakemon #centipede

Here's the next Pokemon in my evolution line for @just_a_husk 's #fakemonsixstars art contest. This is the bug type Drastondec, the Blunderbuss Pokemon (from the slovene words for dragoon, centipede, and rider). 1/12 #pokemon #fakemon #centipede #bugtype

I haven't done anything fakemon related since January... but this one at least is a little more special. I'm making an evolution line for @just_a_husk 's #fakemonsixstars art contest. 1/8

2nd Artfight attack for @/OversYourHaul's Hollow Knight character Shmoodle. I only got to 2 this year, but this one is animated. #artfight #artfight2025 #teamfossils

Remember to take care of yourself. Take a deep breath. Step away for awhile. Do something that you enjoy. You're going to be ok.

I was going to post when ArtFight announced the winner, but I forgot how long that can take. I only did 2 this year; first attack is on SchroMiauen's character Stella Celeste. I tried out a different style for this one and I think it turned out well. #artfight #artfight2025 #artfight #teamfossils

Here's a quick animation for pride month; it was important to me that I get something out before the month ends #pridemonth #lgbtqia #pixelart #animation

Its been about 1 1/2 months since I've posted; I've been busy with various things that I won't/can't really share, but also I have a problem with not finishing and indefinitely shelving projects. In any case, here's a pixel art Blender thing; its a bit stylized, but its some ice breaking into pieces

I've got a love/hate relationship (mostly love) with turn-based rogue-likes, and this one is no exception. I thought it might be fun to redraw some orbs from the Pachinko Roguelike game Peglin, in my own style. I started off with some rocks and rock related orbs, 1/3 #peglin #pixelart

Here's the ladybug die texture; it started with me trying to experiment with some sort of die for this and thinking the six could be "bug feet" and going from there

I finally made a thing in Blender with pixel art textures; its a little ladybug die. the thing I kept getting hung up on in this workflow was taking the original texture, resizing it to something like 1080x1080, and trying to get the uv right, but I realized I could just keep everything at 32x32 etc

Art block sucks, but its been a bit too long, so here's a shadow doodle

A bit late for #pokemonday but here's Prism Tower

Look at this cat I found

This is my 5th year of making these Chinese New Year lanterns; 100% of proceeds go to Stop AAPI Hate. Go to my Threadless through the link in my bio or follow: https://buff.ly/4jPA7A4

Due to a number of factors I will actually be uploading here as often as other socials like I keep saying I will. Rather than upload everything since my last post, I'll just encourage you to check my other socials if you really want to see them and share this 2024 banner with a few of them

Just as a little extra, here's some of my favorite Infinite Fusion sprites that I've done #pixelart #pokemon

l've been neglecting Bluesky again, though I thought it was longer than just a month. In any case, l'll just try to upload a bunch and be "caught up" whether or not I missed a few things for my own sanity. For starters, I did say I'd share my infinite fusion sprites individually in my first post...

Here's some old class sketches that I unearthed and turned into stuff. I only got through these two atm #art #poster #characterart

This is part of a project I wasn't going to share here, but I suppose I'll show some illustrations from it with one for now; this is a depiction of a snag, or a dead/dying tree in a forest #art #environmentart

Might've never posted these because I thought one was deleted, but I found it. Made this computer in 2022 to test out a Blender workflow and made an upgraded version with workflow changes in 2023. The newer has some in-Blender improvements but the colors are a bit off... #art #3dart #blender

One more post for now. Some time back I made one of them Spidersonas and then later a mockup comic cover around the time the second Spiderverse came out #art #digitalart #spiderman

I saw this paint stain on the wall and turned it into this knight piece. Process pics in the replies #art #digitalart

Here's something I made for Mermay just before the end of the month last year: A deep sea mermaid named Emi and her eel friend Min. I'll post process pics in replies #art #digitalart #mermaid

I've got to take stock of what's posted here and what's not to get back up to speed, so for now, have this style study thing I did a few months back #art

Real quick, here's all the Heartless/Pokémon fusions so far, as well as a small preview #art #fakemon #pokemon #kingdomhearts

And here's the last one for now: Large Body x Hariyama. I think the natural conclusion would be to use Snorlax with Large Body, but one of 2 instances of a Heartless/Pokémon fusion I've ever seen was with Snorlax/Large Body, so I wanted to do something else #art #fakemon #pokemon #kingdomhearts

Next, onto Traverse Town with Soldier x Bisharp. This is still possibly my favorite of these #art #fakemon #pokemon #kingdomhearts

I was going to try and post everything at once to get up to speed, but I don't think that's a great idea. For now here's the rest of the KH Fakemon because that's what was here last, starting with GiratinaxDarkside. It is Altered forme, but with Origin tendrils #art #fakemon #pokemon #kingdomhearts

I was a bit held up and I did say I'd start posting today, so for now have these "Wigletts" from April Fools so I don't have to wait another year to share them here. I need to say I'll post tomorrow so I can hold myself accountable, so I'll start posting tomorrow #art #aprilfools

I'll get back up to speed tomorrow, but for now, here's a redraw of an old self portrait assignment I did for my birthday in February #art

I thought this was like 3 days ago, what happened?

Sorry for neglecting Bluesky; the maximum amount of social medias my brain can handle is 2 apparently. Will update soon.

Here's a concept I've had in the works for a few years now that I've seen hardly anyone tackle: Pokemon x Heartless (KH) fusions. More info, shinies, reference, and more in replies #art #gameart

Here's a piece I finished earlier this year based on this old Instagram story doodle; process pictures in replies below

I had been making a test project in GameMaker for some time but I slowly fell out of; I finally put what I had in a useable state and put it on itch.io here's the link: joel-sleppy.itch.io/carnivaltoyb...

An old animation from October last year; should've uploaded sooner so happy belated Halloween I guess

This is a piece I did for my Senior year of college for the gallery Creating Connections: Our Reality titled Collective Care. You can find the gallery and piece here: alaska.digication.com/creating-con...

A Turkey for Turkey day, ya Turkey

I've been uploading and reuploading sporadically on various platforms and each time I tend to start with these pieces from a 2022 prompt list; I also can only handle so many social media platforms at once apparently, so here's me trying to get into using Bluesky more. Running low on characters more↓

I guess I should start using Bluesky now that I've got it; for starters here's every sprite I've done for Pokemon Infinite Fusion so far (not all in game yet). I'll share each individually eventually.
