What did you draw today, Tom? Well I drew a Snail with a gun taped to its back, obviously. (Part of the Shadows of Doubt Modifiers update! I got to make lots of weird things for this)

So they're basically remaking Bomb Rush Cyberfunk? Ok fine, I'll buy it. (I had a lot of fun with the first one!)

I've seen so many "Amazing details in Metal Gear Solid Delta" videos which are all details from the original Metal Gear Solid 3, unchanged. (I didn't buy Metal Gear Triangle)

Very good. Very good trailer. Very good boy.

A+ good work clouds. This goes into my cloud reference folder

I was curious how the Street Fighter Alpha sprites would look if they were designed for square pixels, so I did a quick edit to see. Square (or correct aspect ratio) on the left, original sprites on the right. (This is rather niche, I know... but I thought someone might find it interesting)

I can't believe I haven't drawn Street Fighter 6 Ryu yet. He looks great in it, so here he is being chill.

I’ve been eating ice cream watching the storm. Today has been good so far!

This marketer pulled data on 6,422 pixel art games released over the last 2 years on Steam. Only 5% cleared 500 reviews. Here’s some fun data on the 5%. www.reddit.com/r/IndieDev/c...

The new Human Centipede movie is a bit dialogue heavy.

I needed to reference something from Grave of the Fireflies, so naturally now I'm super sad. Please only post nice things today, thanks.

Welp, I've just found out that my role has been made redundant 🫠... So I will be looking for work! If anyone is looking for a 2D/3D Generalist or Art Director for games (particularly specialising in stylised projects!) please shout! From concepts > modelling > animating thru to implementation 💛✨

Shame on Bristol council for using AI imagery in this adult learning leaflet. Why bother learning when you can become an AI slopper?

XBOX - logo is a x in a ball - not an actual 'box' more of a service/religion at present PLAYSTATION - not a network rail managed station - 'play' implies games of which theres very few DREAMCAST - ah now we are talking - it sure casted them - 10/10 no objections

My biggest concern about the inevitable tech bubble collapse approaching, is how that lost revenue is going to be recouped by targeting the workers and customers first. Sorry lads but Microsoft fell for the latest cybersnake oil, so we gotta let you all go.

Feeling uninspired by the Gamescom offerings I went back to Jet Set Radio Future... you know, when games were weird and interesting. This is Jazz, one of the characters further into the game. Got to love a big scarf!

Well just call me 3DForever, I'm now an expert. (I had fun playing with Magicavoxel for like 20 minutes)

I remember these from childhood very well… I’m impressed with how on and off-key the art is at the same time. The different angles on enemies are great. Then you have ugly Robotnik pasted in.

Hey, hey, hey! Come on over for some CORPORATE Taxi... I had a silly comic idea placing the Crazy Taxi cabbies in the modern taxi world... Plus it gave me excuses to play Crazy Taxi again.

If you see this, post a title screen that’s iconic to you (I don’t normally join these, but I can still remember the first time seeing this… still makes me smile!)

Here's a hi-res version of the "Well done" Cows in Earthworm Jim 2. My brain is mush today.

In Super Mario Bros., the first vertical lift platform in World 6-3 does not have a fixed range like it may seem at first. Instead, it slowly keeps increasing its range, so that keeping Mario on the platform will eventually result in his death.

Soul is a lovely film and I wouldn’t change much about it… but how beautiful are these 2d concepts?? Would love to see a short in this style

I've updated my website / portfolio! 2dforever.com Now with 220% more animations (of which you can toggle off!) I am looking for work, so please have a look and let me know if I seem like a good fit for your project :)

Oh! Sonic’s birthday. Enjoy this nightmare of an advert if you’ve never seen it before:

Galaxy Fight is an... ok fighting game. But loads of great aspects about it though, in particular I noticed how each stage has a unique colour palette for every character. It gives the appearance of colour grading for the character to blend with the environment. This feels really advanced for 1995!

Alex takes the solo indie dev line and amps it up by 10. Super impressed with how much he’s done by himself:

This Friday I'll be premiering the very first Gameplay Deep Dive for AETHUS - The Menagerie! Come along as we explore various gameplay features and locate some 'strange eggs' for a corporate menagerie, and earn some extra credits for our trouble! shorturl.at/btfBE #IndieGame #GameDev #IndieGaming

This is really great. When I started playing with SVG years ago it felt super hacky, but Josh has it explained in such a neat way:

I distinctly remember seeing this SF2T artwork for the first time as a kid and being amazed. Clearly it’s still a big influence!

Working on my website at the moment and I needed an image for contact, so I quickly made this. I like the simplicity

Here's a sampling of the cards I made for These Doomed Isles by TripleVision Games. I made 163 in total - a lot to do, but they're only 95x59 pixels! Loads of different themes and cultures, it was loads of fun :) #pixelart

Found an old UI tester I made for a chat box. You have to test with realistic data

I was discussing this with @seddidiot.bsky.social at Develop… Stickers as give aways are great but looking back at a pile of stickers, I have no idea what majority of them are for. Add a handle or URL people!

Possibly the best gift ever:

Going to be in Brighton tues-Friday next week for Develop Conf. Hope to see you there!

What do people do to prevent books from sun fading? I don't want to wrap everything in UV resistant plastic... (I know everyone is talking about awful things Microsoft have done today, but I thought it might be a nice distraction.)

Working solo is hard sometimes. Just realised that everything I made yesterday was, in fact, a load of crap. Yay!

I’m not a fan of linked in as it is, but this is *very* linked in. Tempted to give an angry reply but I’m certain it’s just mass spam

I recently got to revisit Shadows of Doubt for some alternate keyart, which is now live on the Steam page: store.steampowered.com/app/986130/S... It's always a nice excuse to revisit the detective world :) (Fun fact: this was a concept for the original keyart!)

200625. Sensory Processing.

A picture of SNK's Blue Mary. This started out as some line practice based on some old work but it turned into this! A mixed of Mary's win poses, plus it's been really hot here recently. Kind of Terada inspired too. I love Blue Mary and her stupid big belt.

Not long until it's time to head to Brighton for Develop - yay! Non-stop hard work and business, right?

I watched SteamBoy tonight. I have definitely seen it before (I even had it on DVD) but I couldn't remember a single detail of the plot... Which says a lot about that, but what a fantastic visual treat in character art, background art and animation.

Microsoft Teams keeps on deleting itself off my computer. While I don't mind, it's a curious one... (I'm pretty certain I'm not deleting it out of rage.)

I'm sick with Covid, so I made this, an idea I've had for MONTHS now, Street Fighter 6 with Hanna Barbera Sound effects.

I managed to guess it was Resi before the reveal thanks to the hair alone. It’s very RE engine hair! #summergamefest
