New attempt at a #pixelart self portrait. Not sure it 100% hits my likeness, but close enough.

I think I’ve posted the full cutscene this is from before, but it took me forever to find a composition I was happy with for this piece for my fan game Crash Bandicoot twisted. #gamedev #pixelart #crashbandicoot

Another animation for my Crash Bandicoot fan game project. #gamedev #pixelart #crashbandicoot

Another critter for my fan game Crash Bandicoot twisted. #pixelart #gamedev

Mina the Hollower is out! I was going to just make a quick sprite, but I got a bit carried away and just ended up making a full on high-res mockup instead. Haven't even got around to playing the final release! Gotta fix that.

Penguin patrol animation for the Ice levels of Crash Bandicoot twisted. #pixelart #gamedev

Quick Nosferatu sketch #pixelart

Making some progress with the background. I think I’m pushing close to the maximum number of tiles I can stream on GBA while still hitting 60fps. #crashbandicoot #pixelart #gba #gamedev

Took me a bit to animate him charging. #pixelart #gamedev

Working on this character concept for the yeti chase for Crash Bandicoot twisted. It’s a bit of a departure from the original game, what do you all think? #pixelart

Hey #PortfolioDay - I'm Sam! I do #pixelart & #gamedev for my passion project, #Moonshell_Island. It's taking a long time, but I hope you'll enjoy the journey with me as much as I enjoy sharing it! Your support means a lot! 🦀💜 Wishlist: s.team/a/1629660 Subscribe: patreon.com/cheekynauts

Just doodled this little guy #pixelart

My wife’s favourite game is Stardew Valley, so I tried my hand at making a custom portrait for her. #pixelart #stardew

Happy bun day! 🐰 Hop you enjoy those eggs!!! 🧺 #pixelart

Finally finished my intro cut scene for Crash Bandicoot Twisted. It's heavily inspired by huge adventure, but I felt like there were too many plot holes so I wanted to do my own take. Let me know what you think! #pixelart #gamedev #crashbandicoot #gameboyadvance #retro #indiedev #retrogaming

Day spent decorating and tweaking some sharp edges to make camera path less painful to get working. #sAm_art

Made a box art image for Crash Bandicoot Twisted. I had a first draft of this that was pixel art, but I realised vector art would scale better for printing. It was fun learning affinity designer to create this. #CrashBandicoot #gamedev #vector #GBA

Made this for fun this afternoon. This is a visual pun based on a company name. Any guesses? #pixelart #puzzle

And here is the timelapse #pixelart #timelapse #gamedev #crashbandicoot #GBA

Also just if you were in doubt, here's the intro of the Phoenix Wright Case 1 demake running on my Game boy Pocket! #pixelart #gameboy

Another intro scene from my fan game Crash Bandicoot Twisted. Had a lot of fun making this, although drawing the crossed legs was a struggle . #pixelart #crashbandicoot #gamedev #GBA

Here is a timelapse of my drawing process thanks to #pixquare . Think I struggled with the foreshortening of Crash’s left leg the most. Total time was about 17 hours #crashbandicoot #pixelart #gamedev #timelapse

Another shot from my fan project Crash Bandicoot Twisted’s opening cutscene. #pixelart #gamedev #crashbandicoot

For something so cold, the ice rink sure brings out some fiery passion! #pixelart #gameboy

Flappy Coot, a Crash Bandicoot Flappy Bird fan game, out now on itch and gamejolt sam-gamedev.itch.io/flappy-coot gamejolt.com/games/flappy... #sAm_art #CrashBandicoot

Made a bit more progress on the intro sequence for my GBA fan game Crash Bandicoot twisted. This is ~50% of the opening I have planned. #crashbandicoot #pixelart #gamedev

Fantasy helmet design

I'm finally writing up how Nanite Tessellation works. The first few blogs posts are up. More will be coming. graphicrants.blogspot.com/2026/02/nani...

It is time! We've just released the second demo of Zabu, our beat 'em up for the Sega Mega Drive / Sega Genesis. Check it out! 👊 zabu.team

Another old #pixelart mockup I did. It was a fun reimagined Sega Aladdin.

Messing around with some style ideas to differentiate cutscenes for Crash Bandicoot Twisted. I wanted something quicker/simpler to draw that evoked Saturday morning cartoons, (there are 11 panels just in the intro). IDK if it’s too much or a departure. Wdyt? #pixelart

Giant skeleton & human skeleton, #pixelart, 14 colors.

I'll post most of my old work here, including my #pixelart. Starting with this piece.

I didn't expect such a warm reception to my anime sfx generator. Thank you 😊 Here's another tiny toy; Fossil Maker. Create random, mostly silly-looking, fossils of creature skeletons castpixel.itch.io/fossil-maker

I made this little sprite around 10 years ago now. #pixelart

Boy, I tell ya. #pixelart

was thinking of this while doing my latest pieces… don’t think I ever posted it here

Crash Riding Polar. I made this in Pixsquare on iPad, and I think it might be my favourite pixel art editor. #pixelart #crashbandicoot #GBA

Messing around with pseudo 3D on the GBA for Crash Bandicoot twisted. The crates are 2D sprites that have been rendered offline in different perspectives, (depending where in the camera they are displayed) and carefully placed/scaled to simulate depth. #retro #pixelart #gamedev

Made a small animation of Polar from Crash Bandicoot. Starting to experiment with some snow level stuff for Crash Bandicoot Twisted. #GBA #pixelart #retrogaming

Happy new year, and stuff. We've just updated Zabu's itch.io page, with some sweet new screenshots: zabu-team.itch.io/zabu We're getting ready for the release of a new demo, coming later this month. The first stage will be playable. 👊 #sega #megadrive #genesis #sgdk

Mystical crystal in the forest 💎 #isometric #pixelart #ドット絵

Most satisfying year of my journey... #pixelart #artvsartist #artvsartist2025

This is Walt the security guard. He is a character from a Point &. Click adventure concept I was experimenting with. Trying to mimic the Day of the Tentacle/Sam & Max HTR aesthetic. #pixelart #samandmax #adventuregames
