Practicing some UI icons! These are actually way more involved than I think. Especially hand-drawn!

drew these for #gmtkjam!
Was told to draw a wizard, knight, pirate, and father โ€” learnt a lot designing and making these characters distinct :)

first time drawing in a more cozy style too.
the gameโ€™s broken but hey, itโ€™s here: thefreehuman.itch.io/loopsmith

Usually a solo dev, but joined #gmtkjam as a designer! Felt great to focus on art without juggling code. :D
Learned a lot about character and UI design.
Game didnโ€™t make it, but I managed to convince the team to not make an RPG in 3 days.
HMU if you wanna team up next time! ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ‘พ

Landscape practice! still tangentially journey inspired. But working on using different brushes!

Some practice on simple landscapes/backgrounds.
Obviously very Journey inspired and rough but a pretty nice start :))

The first step to creating effects in a game is to be able to understand it. And the best way to do so is to draw it :))

Trying to focus on creating different effects such as clouds, rings and reflections!

Time to post some concept art I drew for all the games I dumped! This was an attempt to make a more detailed concept of a mage/wizard in an rpg I was cooking up :))

Finished up my game for #pixelgamejam2025

A story of a ghost mailman.
Delivering letters from the dead to the living.

Bridging the land of the living and the dead!
Built a cool shader + two crossfadeable soundtracks for the transition.
Figured Iโ€™d give it extra love since itโ€™s one of the most visited spots in the game

Game jam update!

Added parallax, fog, lights + a new palette for the land of the dead!
Also drew a tiny mausoleum-style post office :))

An update on my game jam!

Came up with the overarching plotline and some major areas.

Focusing on the color palette and cranking out backgrounds to set the mood asap. Color palettes are really important!

Next: parallax and atmosphere!

Decided to join a game jam!

I usually focus way too much on making cool gameplay mechanics, but this time the focus is atmosphere + story.

The theme is 'From The Dead' - so hereโ€™s a peek at the main character ๐Ÿ’Œ
