A cozy little shark bistro nestled among lots of plants.

A little harbor village of Gourdlets among a cozy grove of trees, carrying out various cooperative activities related to fishing and recreation, there are little colorful fish and a shark swimming peacefully in the sea.

A little village of Gourdlets carrying out various activities while a cable car that crosses tracks partially submerged in the sea is arriving with new residents.

Artwork created for an Intel Gaming deskmat entitled Sharkade. The scene depicts a large underwater shopping mall and convention center, vibrant and full of little sharks engaged in different activities. On the left, on the top floor, a shark and a dolphin compete in a Starcraft-style RTS championship, surrounded by fans. Downstairs, a bookstore houses a nook where young sharks in medieval costumes play tabletop RPGs. To the right, on the upper floor, two sharks play an FPS together in a gamer electronics and accessories store. On the level below, an arcade attracts attention: a shark dances on a rhythm machine while others enjoy arcade games. In the center, through the main entrance on the upper floor, new visitors arrive brought by a sea bus. On the first floor, between escalators, a bistro welcomes sharks who relax with their laptops or take photos near a coral garden full of little fish.

Happy #PortfolioDay! 🎨✨

I'm Requinoesis, someone who loves the ocean! I'm dedicated to creating a new insight into the imagery of sharks under pastel colors! 🌊🦈✨

Pixel art landscape featuring a serene lake surrounded by fall-colored trees, with a small waterfall, a person fishing from a boat, and a deer drinking at the water's edge. Misty mountains form the background.

Fantastic art and a cozy game recommendation:

I love public transport vibes 💚

Not currently but we have the power to change that 😈

"Can Izzie kick the cable car?" Yes... yes she can 😎

Creating silly moments like this one is why I love making games 😂

When do you know when you've finished a piece? 🤔 Usually I have a pretty good idea of when I'm ready to step away, but The Ranger theme really stumped me. I'm sure I'll still get caught up in making some more changes, but I'm hoping sharing my imperfect work helps me move forward 😅 🎶 #gamemusic

🥳 Stoked for the support that Lone Pine has been receiving! 🌲The team have charted the course for our next milestone—our Steam demo! Can’t wait to share more content from the game soon 🎉
