Arden

monstering and huntering

“Fix your hearts or die” is so good because the character is not threatening anyone. He’s warning them that they’ve fucked up and there’s time to change before the universe notices.

hey thanks dude! it was even gooder in person!

Pixelart of a massive curved tree standing in a misty green forest. The pixels create an impressionistic texture.

Oldie from 2022, when I was first doodling some #pixelart impressionistic paintings of various things I had seen around the PNW. Messy but satisfying trying to create impressionistic effects with a limited palette and resolution. Helped me get a sense of the "textural" feeling that I want to pursue

Awesome style! Love the tengu lookin char!

I'm using Godot as well! Hell yea dude!

Oh hi! I’m an idiot and don’t understand Bluesky yet. email me: ardenhawk90@gmail.com

Good to know. On twitter I only ever had good engagement on my pixel account and that was by pure chance of having a popular pixel artist reblog me once.

How the hell does one get on a list? How do I even bluesky?

Retro Pixel art portraits of 4 cyberpunk characters.

I need to be better about posting on here. Some pixelart portraits of four characters from my indie game project. If anyone is interested in commissioning pixel avatars like this please shoot me a DM!

lovely! the composition and reflection are 👌

love the effect of the parallel line clusters

belated halloween sketch from
yesterday that i managed so salvage this morning 🎃

looks awesome. love the sharp shapes and angular shading of the skull!

a distorted pixelated skeleton screams while staring at a phone. the entire image is textured with digital noise and glitches

burning, burning, burning
#pixelart #digitalart

i enjoy mixing layered chaos with the crispy nostalgic look of pixel

my approach definitely closer to painting than traditional pixel art which emphasizes moderation and deliberate choices. (a tradition i have much respect for!)

posting something from early this year- this is when i really started mixing digital painting/processing techniques with custom pixel brushes. #pixelart #ドット絵 #art

player char for personal project. he’s a good lad #oc #conceptart #art

modifying some old #pixelart to kick off dev on a personal project. I’ve been calling the vibe “cybergrunge.” though there are some solar punk themes too. it takes place on (and within) an alien wasteland planet abandoned by intergalactic mega corporations after being sacked for resources #ドット絵

the enshittification of chillhop/lofi cozy music on youtube with ai images and sound makes me so angry. thank god for chillhop records holding down the fort supporting musicians and visual artists since its inception!

yo this is awesome! the textures and colors go so hard

so sick!!!!

soft lines and colors, bold shapes and facial features! a lovely combo

the struggle of knowing that doing a piece in pixel with get me likes but doing it concept arty will help get me a job… oh if i could get paid somehow to do both that would be the dream. there’s no distinction in my mind anymore, i want to merge the streams

sketchin and sando. reveling in the mess, exploring some future compositions and textures

love your shorks! blocks don’t last forever- hang in there!

i am bad at the internet but need job

thank you for always drawing women with good noses 🙏
