Hey all, happy to be posting for the first time from my new apartment! Had to take a bit of a hiatus to move, but here are some concepts for a tile set I'm working on for a sewer area.

I haven't had too much time to work on game stuff since I've been moving, but here's a few pieces of concept art!

I've been working on some animations for the main character of a little platformer I'd like to make!

Very rough demo for a little platformer I want to make before I start working on my bigger project! The idea is that you use bubbles to help you navigate stages. I thought of the idea while working through Sara Spalding's platformer series.

Very rough walk cycle that I worked on today! I'm pretty happy with how it looks, I'm looking forward to cleaning it up later!

Not much progress to update on, I've been spending most of my energy on learning GMS. It's a slow process, but I'm feeling pretty good about it.

Still lamenting my inability to upload gifs, but here's a few static images of some stuff I've been working on.

I've taken a bit of a break from doing the art, and have been focusing more on digging into learning Game Make Studio.

An older sprite depicting an orange cat I made back in 2023 (left). And a newer looking sprite with the same orange cat holding a stick and donning a red cape.

Finally gave my main character, Kit, a re-sprite! I made the original design (left) back in 2023 when I didn't have the full idea for a game.

Messed around with the trees a bit more, I'm liking this version better than the others.

Some more assets for my game! I've been making good progress so far, I even have someone willing to compose some music for it!

Sad that I can't upload gifs properly, but here are some sprites I worked on for a game I've been thinking about for a while.

I'm starting to feel a bit burnt-out from practice, so I might take a small hiatus. In the meantime, if you're interested, you can check out all of my past stuff on my tumblr. www.tumblr.com/blog/salmon-...

Decided to make the jump to Bluesky after constantly having issues w/ bots on Tumblr. I post my drawing exercises every other day, as well as whatever else I'm working on. Here's a few of my most recent exercise pages!
