At one point while working on Planet Cube, there was a rework of all the art, and I had the chance to work on new designs and animations! Here's the Batz - a big part of the rework was the emphasis on volume, really leaning into the cube factor #pixelart #gamedev

Four games I've worked on

Gunny is still in development, but I'm counting it because it deserves the spot! (totally not because I lack a fourth game)

Here's some exploration art on how it could look made by me, and a picture of how it ended up looking in the game. The final art was done by Yuan Shi, who was the art director on the project!

This is one of my favorite enemies to design and animate for Planet Cube: Edge! In the end, we had some trouble adding him as intended, but we have this animation to show how an early version would have looked... So many frames #pixelart #animation #Gamedev

Starting to write about movies! Been focused only on animation, outside of that I have been living under a rock so I'm expanding my horizons! Favorites so far: Everything Everywhere All at Once, Blade Runner, and Perfect Blue. Recommendations welcome!

Hi! I am a Pixel Artist/Game Designer with 4 years of experience.
I am currently developing a Tetris-like roguelike platformer called Gunny Ascend at Sunna Entertainment as Art Director. Thank you for giving the space for this - I'm finding so many interesting people!

The racer post based on the trend I just did seems to not be a trend at all, but rather an event for mutuals, jasifjadis I feel silly, but doing tmy OC racer was too much fun so no regrets

Found another video I did for Planet Cube! There was this trend from this song a while ago, and I really wanted to try it out. I'm not quite sure, but it never made it out, so here it is now! Is nice looking back #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart @sunnastudio.bsky.social

I posted a pixel Dib and Zim and people really seemed to like it! So I decided to follow it up and expand the roster with Gir and Gaz! I loved doing this, it's always super fun! I'm thinking that Dr. Membrane and Dog Gir could be next? #Alien #invaderzim #Zim #pixelart #fanart @jhnenvee.bsky.social

Hello!! I made some character sheets for some of the characters in our #indiegame Gunny Ascend! It was so fun to translate the pixels to a style a little more stripped down from details. I love how they turned out! Wonder what they could be useful for... #gamedev #conceptart #OC
