ONE MORE before i take my ass to bed. remember when i wanted to start a clothing brand mid-pandemic? yeah, no one else does, either. i thought i was clever for ripping off a CM Punk shirt for Charlie from #streetfighter. i sold one. the service discontinued the shirt style soonafter. oops.

posting old stuff, most of which you've seen (i think?) because the stuff i'm working on is under wraps shhhhh

KoFXIII Andy, weird colors that clash on purpose for step 4, resize, forced palette via indexing, proper-ish colors, minal cleanup/color correction. passable, but far from perfect. which was the goal, i think? blend in with CvS2 sprites without being a slave to accuracy.

and, at least up until CotW, BEST ANDY. fight me.

aaaand let's end for now with an attempt to streamline KoFXIII->CvS2 sprite conversion with about 70-80% accuracy and minimal work. trying to fight depression during the pandemic. REMEMBER THE PANDEMIC?

No Yun. Not now, not ever. He would have been a BABY at the time the game takes place.

#SFA3Max characters getting added in the latest patch reminds me of these dudes from a while back. a #pixelart test to see if i could match the style instead of just plopping CvS2 assets into a different game.

a "heat haze" effect test on some SNK assets for...something. a few years old now. might revisit. whenever @priceofreason.bsky.social gives the call. flicker is the result of shitty rushed optimization, probably.

thank you! would be best done via rotoscoping a proper 3D render instead of sketching over a youtube video of a ps1 game, because OH BOY them details.

a while back, i had a not-so-original idea for Dissidia as a traditional fighter, wherein the roster would use more side characters, and level 3 supers would utilize a summon. memes happened, and this is the idea that stuck in my head for a while. NEVER gonna finish it, but it's out there now.

barely #pixelart, but an attempt to imitate/update something classic.

Hey there! I'm open for commissions. I love portraits and I also have a background in animation.
I'm specialized in humans but I'd love to work on monsters as well
