WIP of tile assets for a classic SRPG. Tiles are 32x32 pixels. Two villages. One of them is pillaged.

Worked on the destroyed version for the village this morning. ✍️😑

Yeah, I just love when tiles feel like puzzle pieces to place a around a scene! Feels extra video game-y and fun to play with, like a Lego set!

Pixel art lineup portraying 4 of the main characters from Final Fantasy IX (from left to right): Vivi, Zidane, Garnet and Steiner.

I've been feeling like doing a couple of fan art sprites of some of my favourite characters for a while.

This is what my ideal Simpsons game looks like

To keep celebrating Cross Blitz's 1.0 launch, here's a track I really loved working on with some pretty ALMAM Player notes going by.

screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

So, so good!!
