Couple of sketchbook pages from last night. Sonic is so fun to draw.

Alright!!
First art of the year
#pixelart #ドット絵

3 simple colour pencil drawings of silly looking Sonic the Hedgehog. One in blue pencil, looking severely overeaten (possibly on chili dogs), sitting on the ground, burping. One in green pencil, very very skinny, holding a ring in his right hand. One in red pencil, running very fast, with the characteristic infinite loop looking feet blur, his arm are stretched out behind him, and his mouth is trailing with his tongue flapping in the wind.

I doodled some stupid looking Sanics

Love how frumpy Batou looks in the first one :D These are great.

Thanks :)

Sketchbook pages from last night (I did not sleep) I guess some of these don't really qualify as sketches, given I worked on them quite long, esp the 3rd pic.

Design for a true last boss for Fixeight Exa Label which did not make it in due to time constraints. #pixelart #ドット絵

Yeah, for sure. I used to draw a lot when I was younger, and in general, but I have not done a lot for the last 5 years or so. But recently filled an unfinished sketchbook, started going lifedrawing, just way more art, and it feels great.

100% Also I recently bought all your comics, and among other things they for sure were part of what motivated me to do a lot more traditional art again, after years of only doing digital stuff mostly for work. Your art's very inspirational.

what happens when you give 3 different authors the exact same TINY sprite sheet? you get 3 COMPLETELY different PICO-8 games!! it's...

Video game screenshot from Quake Brutalist Jam III. An underground level of a sunlit enclosed courtyard. Everything is made of concrete and hanging vines are visible.

The ground level of the same courtyard. A multi-tiered bunker-like structure with angular shapes stands in the middle, above the pit. Soldiers stand guard.

A much bleaker scene; the cavernous interior of some sort of megastructure. Bluish fog wraps around a tiered structure and hints at the forms of distant pipes. No sky is visible.

A substructure, reminiscent of a parking garage, but with unclear purpose. Short flights of stairs connect several levels lit by regularly-spaced overhead flourescent lights, and there are various sizes of blue storage containers in the background.

This latest ref pack is a love letter to all my hard surface artist friends

It contains 400+ (3.1GB) photos from the CAF SoCal airplane museum, including 100+ shots of tiny details from the cockpit of a MiG-21MF

Use them for anything, just make sure to credit me!

Haha, I can see how that might happen. A good magic act is cool tho. I guess if the person makes being a magician their personality, that could become rather cringe tho.

u generally is not an tho, because it is pronounced you, like "a you-nee-corn"

You look like some kinda rocker type street magician here. "Look at the ball, keep a close eye on it, don't let it get out of your sight. BAM! Now I got your wallet!"

Two boss enemies I made for a shmup gig that did not go anywhere and I had no time for it anymore. Never posted these anywhere before. The brief was to make a bunch of mainly boss enemies in a somewhat less greebly DDP style. #pixelart #ドット絵

The kind of shit i doodle on loose paper while watching random youtube videos.

No, the ones I made at the time were not nearly as close to the style as these. That was way back in early 2006 I think. These are from around 2021.

Yeah, the Raiden Games are classics, esp 1, DX and 2.

FIRE LANCER Fire Lancer

You could get the Fire Lancer demo instead :D

A Wonderswan Color shmup (but there is a PC demo in the zip too) I am making with @trap15.daifukkat.su and @moftsoft.bsky.social (though atm it is a bit slow going)
There is a good amount of content in the demo though.

Have a look at the sprites from Donpachi, Dodonpachi, Dangun Feveron by Cave, as well as some older stuff by Toaplan, like Truxton II, Gekirindan by Taito also has sprites that go in this direction in some areas, being a homage to Toaplan games and all that.

Thanks! I have been a fan of this style for a long time and have analysed it a lot (it's not very complicated really)
The most important thing is to come up with cool shapes, really.
