All my OCs with 3+ legs. It was supposed to be a quick silly doodle, but I had fun, so I ended up working on it a bit more. ...Also I see a whole pile of things I want to improve on, so maybe I'll doodle them more since PbP is going to have less art for a while.

than I can afford, unfortunately. In order to help lift some of that burden, I'm opening a gofundme to see if it'll help! Anything counts, even if you can't send money, simply sharing the link or the post is more than enough. Thank you all! gofund.me/2e21cd41f

Important Update re #PitchYaGame: 👀 Please share. As we look towards 2027, taking account what works and what doesn't work from over 6 years of PYG (what a journey!) From 2027+ we will be streamlining PYG down to just 1 day; in June, per year. One round to rule them all. 1/X

i did an interview with google play to talk about how i make my games! 🎮 play.google.com/store/apps/e...

Last year, with OpenAI openly ripping off Studio Ghibli, I did the "Alien Shapes" trilogy to show you don't need genAI to make something from nothing. In light of recent events, here's the series again. I turned crude shapes into sci-fi spectacles. No theft machine can do this. #ANSIArt #Art #NoAI

How genders work in each species is a bigger factor in the story than individual genders. I really want more chars who use it/its and any/all pronouns. But I wanted to be fair to she/he/they pronouns, so that's how I ended up choosing.

I won't post real spiders on main to avoid jumpscaring arachnophobes, but if you appreciate our 8-legged friends you should come look at the latest gigantic fucker I found in this thread and share your own please :) theunderscore.xyz/t/spider-thr...

I worked on the social media art for this bundle and watched as all the organizers worked tirelessly to make this shit happen so people who lost much-needed income from the queer games bundle could get *something* this pride month. @leafo.itch.io , come on, man. people really rely on this stuff.

Hey, I'm tararntula, solodev/pixel artist. Currently working on Peddlers between Pulsars, a narrative focused shop sim with light logistics and 5 playable characters. I'll occasionally be putting asset packs on itch. PbP Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3119170/... Itch: tararntula.itch.io

Cute spider + fun looking combat = fast wishlist from me.

Ace games? Ace games anyone?

Hello everyone, I just made this starter pack for game devs who refuse to use generative AI. In any capacity at all, including for ideas or placeholders or code or inspiration or whatever excuses people have. No AI use, period. Let me know if you want added. go.bsky.app/6DRdowf

Lichens are kinda hard to pixel. Maybe I should've tried a few more variants before locking myself into this design... #pixelart #indiedev

PC fundraising post: i am poor, and nursed my desktop along for going on 9 years. however, i am starting to get hardware failures. it's time. i've decided to build my own PC so i can snipe deals + get hand-me-downs, and get a great mid-range PC for cheap. can anyone help? paypal.me/vacuumflowers

Added a tiny bit of juice. Items have an animation picking up/putting down.They have a big animation if they're going to and from your cargo. This is very safe. #indiegame #peddlersbetweenpulsars

Even if the other plants don't do well, the elephant garlic never lets me down.

Our newset asset pack is OUT ⏬⏬⏬ laced-wing-studio.itch.io/cottage-exte...

How have other #pixelart people been dealing with/getting around bluesky's compression? Do I have to go back to uploading stupidly big images again...?

The next character to get their lab set up is Aiyo, Malady's friend. They specialize in something like materials science, so no beakers for them. #indiegame #gamedev

bsky compression did its thing :/ clearer version!

Kickstarter officially banning adult content now. Knew this was coming, but it still sucks to have yet another part of the internet that I've been explicitly evicted from. Digital gentrification is exhausting.

I think this is true for all creatives but I especially try to give this advice to folks who want to go into games media, because we're already swamped with folks whose literal only interest in life is video games and all their writing sounds the same.

Finally, the most important researcher in my game has a "lab". They've got a strange way of arranging things, but it's quite sensible for her. Wanna take a guess why? #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

I wasn't online much, today, but I did give Quina a cutlery based martial arts style, so I'd say it was a great day! #wip #illustration #art #digitalart

If you have the possibility to help me to reach the end of the month, I'm sharing my ko-fi page. You can also play NOKOMA on your phone, share, repost, etc. Any help is precious. Thank you! 💙 ko-fi.com/owlnewworlds... #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #help #support #kofi

Dumped a lab asset pack on my itch - some basic tiles and a pile of equipment and machinery. It focuses on things I wanted to see in asset packs while making my own game. Maybe someone else is also looking for a 16px eyewash station? tararntula.itch.io/lab-tileset-16 #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

Hello! If you're looking for a voxel artist, I'm available for work! I've got 10+ years of experience, working across multiple engines, game genres and styles. Most recently worked on Vampire Crawlers, Survivors VR, Teardown and Moonglow Bay. 📧 [email protected] 🎨 Voxels.ca

Okay, if you are a trans gamedev, and you have an indie game you want me to boost, reply to the QUOTED POST (not this one), because I suddenly had a joke post get silly popular, so let's strike while the iron is hot and get you all some eyeballs! Remember to include links to your store pages. 💙💗🤍💗💙

WIP for PbP, but might be an asset/tile pack. Lab equipment is cool, and I want to see more variety of it in games. Alt text has the list of equipment. Any suggestions for what else might be interesting to add?

Me: The interior should be a library for blind beings that rely on smell and touch. They can see when they eat, so there should be labels as well. The beds should be comfy medical beds. ...At least I'm the one causing my own headaches? #screenshotsaturday #indiegamedev #peddlersbetweenpulsars

Why do autoclaves have to look so much like washing machines?

ANNONCE ! Je viens de publier l'OST du jeu Space Drilling Station sur mon Bandcamp. Comme ça vous pouvez découvrir mon travail et chiller en parallèle. ^^ N'hésitez pas à partager !! Le partage fait sourire. 🙏🥰 alexandreparent.bandcamp.com/album/space-...

Cleaned up Gitrah's ship! Working on more of their story, and that means I want a finalized ship layout for them to have cutscenes in. #pixelart #indiegame

Kind of interested in recs too. I haven't played with non-pixel animation for over a decade.

(WIP) I've been keeping quiet about planets/tiles outside the first area. But Gitrah's introduction starts on their home planet, so it's not much of a spoiler. #indiegame #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

Tapestry of the Morning Glory Deer #pixel #pixelart #concept

I put a lot of work into this asset pack! Itd mean a lot if you enjoy the art/think theyre neat to go and download the free pack, rate it, leave a comment, or add it to your collection on itch. It goes a long way for visibility on itch! #art #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #asset #itchio

Animating all these tiles is gonna just kick my ass, I know it
