That's a lot of pixels man. I've seen every episode.

I'm working on a blog series where I draw Top Down Doom in pixel art. So far there are 3 posts (Part 1 - Planning, Part 2 - Rocks and Lava, Part 3 - Doom Slayer) but I want to create more posts for it in the future. Feel free to read about it on Itch! itch.io/t/4205226/pi...

Sprite anims for a client today. Yes all these anims were done today! I will do all these types of basic animations for clients for a total of just $85-$100 and all I need is a day or 2 to deliver. If you need sprite animations, all you gotta do is email me about it at kevinanderson32155@gmail.com

I made an art discussion about specular shading and how roughness (such as scratches, grime, and rust) can drastically decrease that and become more like basic shading. This info may help you with shading metallic or wet materials in the future. itch.io/t/5159294/ar...

Design I did in I think 2016 that I touched up a bit to post :) #pixelart

Wait... can people just go in the water? That place looks fun! I love swimming.

Wait wyverns are dumber than dragons? I didn't even know it was specified.

You know... dumb question, but what do we call a dragon... that isn't actually a dragon because it doesn't have wings? A lizard?

An adventure! (Wip) #pixelart

Just released from the hospital (again), so trying to get back into the groove of things

Boss Fight #pixelart (WIP sprite for a larger scene)

One of the steps from my sprite tutorial I'm making <3 Will include a couple more sprites, rather one :) #pixelart (If you can donate to help fund my time making this, it would be beyond appreciated! ko-fi.com/delicious) Thank you for lookin!

Oh if that's the case, that could explain a lot. They'd be able to take photo refs very easily at almost any time they want.

He also knew this dude "Francisco Goya" who painted "A Procession of Flagellants"

Oh by the way, Blasphemous 2 got a free update with additional enemy variety and has more environments and quests to explore in a paid DLC. May be worth revisiting.

Apparently this architecture is from Seville, Spain... where the art director of Blasphemous 1 & 2 "Enrique Cabeza" grew up. That's just dope.

Work in progress forest tiles for an asset pack coming sometime when it's done. #pixelart

Design sheet for the Crystal dragon. It had two tails and saggy skin, mama mia what more could a guy want 😍

With all the Gem Dragons I did for Dungeons & Dragons The Book of Dragons, the crystal dragon probably had the strongest foundation to build from so I really made a meal out of painting the skin folds.

This is dragon 4 of 5

This you youtu.be/2LUB5Bncr1o?...

There are art tutorials that aren't tutorials at all and are just show-off timelapses with background music, and there are art tutorials with too much commentary (maybe that's my occasional art blogs) but sometimes we get these kinds that have a good balance.👌

Coolest... weirdest golem design ever

Next up... Ruby and Sapphire?

Topaz dragon illustration design sheet I painted. I know the wings are going to take some adjusting to so bear these words in mind: it also has floating crystals; it’s a magic man.

Next in the Gem Dragon illustrations I did for Dungeons & Dragons The Book of Dragons is my favorite. You may have noticed the somewhat controversial design feature but instead of cowardly ‘fixing’ it, I leaned all the way in.

Design sheet for the Emerald dragon.

Of all the Gem Dragon illustrations I did for Dungeons & Dragons The Book of Dragons this weirdly proved the most challenging. I pushed myself to paint a type of scales I rarely do here.

Short post about improving attention to detail with artwork. itch.io/t/5144975/ar...

Another blogpost about lighting this time. I'm not the most pro artist but I talk about different light sources, shiny vs dull materials, how light projects, bounces around, fades, and even a bit about how I hue shift. This is all the way I understand but maybe it will help. itch.io/t/5141330/pi...

Seriously though, the grandpa on the bottom right gives me a "train operator" vibe for some reason that I'm not sure about. I feel like that hat just goes well with train operators... and overalls.

Heck yes. Nailed it!

Amethyst dragon design sheet I did. I spent way too long working on that faux bestiary page layout, please appreciate it.

I got the chance to do updated artwork of the Gem Dragons for the new book: Dungeons & Dragons The Book of Dragons. I worked waaay too hard on these, I'm extremely proud of them.
