While I'm feeling extremely sick and unable to draw anything, here's an old mockup of inventory screen

I like how each time I redesigned Neon her chest got progressively flatter :)

This is me right now. Please, give me some ideas to draw

I want to make a NES game mockup, but my empty brain just farts out stupid nonsense. If you have OC or idea you would like to see in NES style I'd be happy to draw it

Save me from art block :')

This little art challenge was really fun. A lot of tiles went unused so I'm sharing them, too. All these styles made me appreciate some of these NES games even more than before

If you like it, feel free to check out my other works :)

I finally got some free time, so here's a third level style I tried to replicate: Mega Man

This one took a lot of versions to find a balance between complexity and simplicity. Mega Man on NES had that distinctive look and I hope I nailed it

The time has come. If you're a small artist (or big, no difference), show me the work (or works) you're proud of the most

I want to see your works and find new artists to follow

P.S. Here's my little abomination :)

After all these years I finally got myself a modern console...and it's the first game I'm playing

I wanted to play any NiGHTS game ever since I laid my eyes upon them and now I can finally do it!

35 followers...damn, I never thought I would get to this point. I have no idea why you decided to stick around and see my little abominations of a pixel art, but thank you

I really appreciate each and every one of these little interactions. Thanks for being there and supporting my terrible art :)

Trying out another style of backgrounds

It's simple, but I can imagine this as a Castlevania level

I always wanted to try that specific style you could see in Batman, Shatterhand or Power Blade 2

I think I'm happy with this little abomination :)

Just a piece of lore about myself because why not, I haven't finished new sprites yet

I'm kind of cursed. Any time I try to buy a new console something goes wrong and I have to spend days or even weeks trying to get it to work

No exceptions, even if I buy from trusted sources

I always hated the way Ninja Gaiden Trilogy handled its graphics. They did nothing but slapped a few colors on top of original designs

So, I just wanted to see if this approach would work if given enough time

Here's a thought I don't see being brought up often:

WITHOUT PIRACY, MAJOR HALF OF GAMING COMMUNITY WOULDN'T EVEN EXIST

I discovered so much through emulation, these pirated games shaped my hobbies and interests

What's your story with video game piracy?

Oh, I never knew someone made a whole page about my old project. I really appreciate it, don't worry about some misinterpretations. I you want, I can give more accuratw details in DMs. Thank you for supporting my work

A little follow-up to yesterday's work

I'll be honest, you can't perfect the perfecfion, but I tried

Decided to play around with S3&K sprites :)

I had 2 rules: no changing original silhouette and no touching original colors. I think it turned out fine. What do you think?

Long ago, Aria of Sorrow was my first metroidvania. Years later, I finally completed it: all equipment (including Hard Mode exclusives) souls, drops and rooms

Though I'm gonna skip Julius mode for now, it was a blast to go back to this gem

Artists and devs of Bluesky, I need your stories

How did you found that balance between "this is a thing I can do and it'll be fun and challenging" and "this is a very stupid goal and it'll only harm me"?

How do you stop falling into toxic habits?

If you want to try and get someone into retro games, don't push them to try classics like Sonic, Mario or Mega Man just because they're "classic" or "groundbeaking"

These games are more than classic. They're good. Treat them like games, not like a museum artifacts
