A pixel art landscape depicting a night time scene. The colors are dark blue, with a teal tint. The viewer in tucked into a dark forest, by a creek. The creek leading into a waterfall overlooking a vast valley. In the valley is a large cavern. It appears to be the skull of an animal, like a snake or dragon. Inside of the skull cavern is a large thriving city. There’s neon beams casting into the sky, and the lights of the city get more intense as you go deeper into the cavern. The creek flows down into the valley and comes to an end behind the cavern.

just a simple city… 🐊✨

This was my first attempt at creating a top-down game. Below are some of the assets, character sprites and screenshots from the game. Unfortunately, it is not playable. I´ve lost all of its files

Yeah he had enough

Hey there. I´m new and I just wanted to say hi with this little Knight #artwork. If you are interested in beginner artist check my profile °^°. Also, I like centipedes and Hollow Knight.... but especially centipedes.

Digital painting of a dark silhouetted hilly boreal forest with an owl with glowing yellow eyes sitting on a branch of a leafless tree and purple and teal northern lights in the starlit night sky.

Outdoors-background I painted for our lil GMTK-Jam game "Magnolia Dwindlespark and the Mystery of the Entangled Propurrtions"

Mostly just visible through a window in the game but a lot of love goes into little things like this :)

A screenshot of a tumblr post reading: "Title: So you want to learn pixel art? Subtitle: Part 1 of ??? - The Basics! Hello, my name is Tofu and I'm a professional pixel artist. I have been supporting myself with freelance pixel art since 2020, when I was let go from my job during the pandemic." Two images comparing artistic improvement, the left is of a rudimentary tree, and the right is of a statue in a wall recess surrounded by plants and dappled light. "My progress, from 2017 to 2024. IMO the only thing that really matters is time and effort, not some kind of natural talent for art. This guide will not be comprehensive, as nobody should be expected to read allat. Instead I will lean heavily on my own experience, and share what worked for me, so take everything with a grain of salt. This is a guide, not a tutorial. Cheers!"

I never posted this here, but I made a pretty big write-up over on Tumblr for anyone interested in learning #pixelart!
It's a guide on software, fundamentals, jargon and resources.

Since links are legal on Bsky I can share it: www.tumblr.com/tofupixel/75...

Hope someone finds it useful!

I was going through my old files while cleaning the PC, and I found my old sprites for when I tried learning the Unity engine for the first time. I made a level that had 3 playable zones, 3 collectible coins, and 3 keys, each unlocking the next zone and the last one unlocking the finish line.

Also, right before I stopped practicing everything, I had a small apex urge.

Since Twitter seems to be going deeper into the fire pit I guess I post more of the older stuff I did before I started procrastinating on everything.

A screenshot of a GameIndustry.biz post, with the text "EA's Chris Bruzzo tells us why the publisher is making five patents for accessibility tech freely available to other devs - including Apex Legends' Ping System" and linking to: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/ea-shares-five-innovations-via-accessibility-patent-pledge-wants-other-devs-to-do-the-same

Development of the Ping System in Apex Legends 🧵

Two of the most important things that led to it going well in development, imo. A quick thread...

A small person looking at the tree that has an image of monster grown in it.

I'm still new to the pixel-art, and didn't have much time recently to practice anything. So I'm posting one of my first tries doing pixel-art which was also first time doing a fanart for the show I really enjoy.
