Pfp day? Cool!
"Ifrit". Just an idea I had to practice a portrait with different colors. Nowadays, I think it could be a cool Fire Genasi character.

And the result. We did this project at Tribute from 2016 as a spare project until I left in 2018. Before leaving I had stop working on that NES project to work on a new graphics backend during that spare project for the C++ engine they have at the time.

It's #portfolioday again and most of my work is tied to projects I can't show, so:

Hey! I'm Butz and I animate pixels and design characters!

I enjoy uh, scifi, horror, cooking, and late night calls where I start to twirl up the phone cord with my finger during the conversation

We completed the intro today!

We just need to re-play the game fully in both 4:3 and wide-screen modes to ensure it displays correctly!

Sean commissioned me way back to create a buncha monsters for his game. I've shown some of those before, but I've doubled them since then.

He's a swell guy to work with and shows off what he's working on frequently on discord. You should give his kickstarter a follow if the style interests you.

Hi eveyone, it's been almost 2 months since I last posted here (I think?). But I wanted to give you a fun challenge if you wanna join me:

Making a character you like on a 32x32 canvas, that is the only limitation, here is a WIP of a Samus redesign I did on my style for the example!
