Pixel art of the Stone Mask from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. The mask has a cracked, pale stone face with vertical protrusions running down the forehead and over the mouth. It's framed by a dramatic red background, giving it a sinister, ancient artifact feel. The mask appears embedded or resting in a dark red cloth-lined case, set against a dark navy background

This image shows a Godot Meetup event in Tokyo. A presenter stands in front of a large screen displaying a slide about the event, which describes the Godot Japan User Community and its goal of bringing together Godot users. The slide features the Godot logo and a screenshot of a game. The audience, seated at tables, listens attentively. Some attendees have their laptops open, and drinks are placed on the tables. The setting is a modern, well-lit indoor space with wooden paneling and pendant lights. Several people's faces are covered with emoji stickers, expressing excitement and happiness.

A screenshot from my Persona 3 retro demake project, showcasing a pixelated scene with Aigis standing outdoors. The text reads, 'The wind feels so nice...' The morning setting evokes a calm and nostalgic atmosphere, staying true to the original game's tone while embracing a retro aesthetic. The UI and art style reflect a deliberate demake approach, blending classic pixel art with Persona 3's iconic style

A pen-and-ink drawing of two crumpled pillows on a flat surface. The artist uses hatching and cross-hatching techniques to create shading, depth, and texture. The fabric folds and creases are carefully rendered, giving a sense of softness and volume. A partial sketch of another pillow is visible in the lower part of the image

A pixel art portrait of Aigis from Persona 3, drawn in a retro style reminiscent of older video game graphics. She has short blonde hair, blue eyes, and wears a black headband with gold details. A red and white mechanical ear attachment is visible on the side of her head. She is dressed in a dark outfit with a large red bow at the collar. The image is displayed within an Aseprite 'Preview' window

A cross-hatched pencil study of a Rembrandt portrait. The drawing features a man with curly hair, wearing a beret and a loose garment. Strong contrasts between light and shadow create depth, with detailed cross-hatching used for shading
