Still want to play it one of these days, definitely missing old Zelda

Heck some of my favorites growing up like Diablo 2 and dark alliance did as well (though with gear customization) I think we have too much customization much of the time these days tbh

Guessing house potatoes are different than couch potatoes? 🤭

I think part of me also needed time to really find my own voice more, and what I really wanted to do with my life and to focus on social media less for a time.

I know I haven't been posting very often these days,( not as much art either), but I hope I'll be able to show you guys something cool again soon

Game development is constantly interesting, as it can feel like you're doing nearly every discipline, on your own. Equally, makes it feel quite overwhelming at times, so keeping scale in mind is key.

In fact, many artists that work with color and are great at it, do it directly and then check values later, it's not very often I see someone go from pure values like that to colors like this, definitely something worth being proud of 👍

Not many artists are actually that great from going from pure values to a great sense of color, incredible work here, and love the palette and your eye for color as well. It has good values, an interesting composition, and it's a beautiful illustration overall

How To Mech It's a short tutorial how to draw and designing a mecha.

Friend released a free, high quality art book on how to draw Mech, he's incredibly good at what he does for a living, worth a look:

IMO it's like dragon age fused with Kingdoms of Amalur combat. It's actually done really well and I had a lot of fun when I played it.

Oof forgot i posted this but thank you 🖤

I might not be doing too well financially these days, but what I do have right now is time, and the ability to learn and progress, and practice each day, and will continue to do so.

It's interesting when you limit yourself-it affects you unconsciously. You start to not even see things as an option when they've been there the whole time.

Makes you start to think things are more possible than you realize, instead of staying where you are, you must go beyond mental constraints.

Even if it's challenging, I've always loved how tangible improving art is. It's actually been years since I've taken it seriously so I have to relearn a lot of things. It feels like gaining exp everyday.

I've also never taken an art class outside of self taught videos in my life so I had to learn analyze and critique my own work.

Thanks Ronin I think the problem is I get very little feedback and work on it alone so I always feel like I'm never getting anywhere

Learning is important #pixelart #aseprite

Yeah, can't really tell if it came out okay, good practice though. The warmup:

Sword #pixelart #aseprite

And find my own play styles that work for me. For open world games, etc I focus more on questing and the world and am fine lowering the difficulty.

I actually love challenge is the thing, so I also find a lot of it these days in turn based games as well like Shin Megami tensei and Tactical rpgs.

I used to be all for the hardest possible modes, regardless of game but now that I have arthritis and carpal tunnel that changed a bit. I still love games like Monster hunter, Hollow Knight etc, that have 1 default difficulty because that's part of their design but these days I make cozier builds -

Sorry for the less frequent posts/updates lately just been leveling up more 🖤

Sorry I missed it! Hope it was an awesome one bro

practice from this morning #pixelart #aseprite

It was actually a friend who first showed it to me on his grandpa's old pc with dial-up, I kept playing for years after he long quit though haha

Hornet from Hollow Knight silksong for Ronin, hope you like it! @roninjrpg.bsky.social

I feel like I never gave Greedfall a real chance past 30 minutes or so even though I felt it was my kinda game.

Despite it probably the weakest of the 3 I loved Fable 3 enough to beat it twice, and games that exist in a similar era, should really give it another shot one of these days.

thinks* too tired to repost this.

That makes sense, there are some games that the new player experience is so bad that most people never even get to that point.
