pixel art sprites of the slime monster lined up in a way that their poses look like they spell the name Doug (a coincidence). There are six rows repeated, all different pastel colors.

his name is Doug

Four different pixel art sprites of a slime monster with a spike ball inside of it, one has the spike completely inside, one has it floating on top like a wave, one is reaching, and the last one is about to swing the spike ball like a flail.

Thank you for the compliment! 😊

Art style whiplash compared to yesterday haha 😂

Also, apparently Mobtober is a Mob Psycho 100 fanart hashtag, so I dropped it and I'll just keep drawing enemies every day in October using my word tables. Today's words were: Many legs (eg. centaur-like humanoid), bones, undead, berserk / rage.

Pixel art sprites of four enemies based on coral mushrooms. They are each a different color, coral pink, orange, light blue, and creme, and each has a "dormant" version next to it with slightly darker colors.

These are really cool Jesse! You should make a Mörk Borg supplement with them

Looks like it in the trailer, the limited flap meter and all the environmental mechanics look like fun! 😄 Congrats on launch tomorrow 🎉

I love Sink’s games, really looking forward to Vampire’s Best Friend tomorrow! 🦇

Three slightly different pixel art sprites of a guinea pig enemy with claws, and a couple of them have armor.

Congrats! 🎉 the game looks awesome :D

pixel art sprites of a skeleton warrior laying on the ground and some bones that the witch or alchemist might be using to create an explosion attack.

I rolled: cook, explode, and decayed.
The first two made me think of an alchemist or a witch with a cauldron, and decayed made me think that they make explosive potions, or they shoot exploding projectiles, using nearby monster parts such as bones from skeleton enemies.

pixel art sprites of some witches and alchemists in front of a cauldron. They have various faces including an old man, old woman, a shadowy demon sort of face, a bird-like one, and a penguin-like one.

I decided I'm gonna do an October daily challenge where I draw enemy ideas everyday for my game using some Spark Tables I made full of random descriptor words. I roll on the tables to get a few words to help spark some ideas.

Here's number 001 - Witch or Alchemist

Color variants and some tweaks. I like it better without the highlights, and I remembered that I want to try to keep each material at two colors anyway. Some sprites will need more, but that's the goal.

Pixel art sprites of a crab in six color variations. The sprites show the crab looking mostly like a rock and then getting up, revealing that it's a crab with big claws.

Thanks! 😄

Pixel art sprites of some frog monsters, some variants with one head, two heads, and one head with wings.

Decided the wings weren't working above the two-headed one. Made some variants. *ribbit* #pixelart

Also it's too bad threads don't get abbreviated in the timeline. I was going to add to some posts over time like a mini process blog post, but they really take over the TL when you do that 🫤

Thank you 😊

I was looking at my Hammer Bros. fanart and thought "that could be a miniboss in my game I wonder if it's the right sprite size" AND IT WAS so I drew over it.

And that's the story of Hammer Knight. (He might get a brother too, we'll see)

pixel art sprite of a knight with armor and a huge hammer. It's in the exact same pose and proportions as my Hammer Bros. fanart because I drew over it. smiley face thumbs up.

Digital illustration of cute dino Yoshi licking the face of his dog/platypus buddy Poochy with his long sticky tongue. It’s pretty messy, but Poochy loves it and wagging his red ball of a tail.
