Some avatars I'm making for a new game project. He's the player character... sort of. Looking forward to posting more on this one!

Desert Knight

So many good 80s animes had desert locations. I love working that vibe. Did this in photoshop and then premiere to put the layers together. TOooOOk forever lol.

The Nomad Prince.

More inking. Just trying to keep it loose, focus more on mood than perfection. I did have to edit out some errant strokes from the sketch above that went right into his hair... too loose lol.

An inked sketch. I have a tendency to be pretty stiff and unsure in my pen strokes, so I'm working on being looser. A Mage.

I was gonna only post pixel art here, but.. turns out I work a lot slower than I thought! So I'll post my other art here too (technically, it's pixilated?). Here's a sketch I did a few weeks ago. A Young Seer.

A timeline of the player sprite I developed for Numehex. Most people probably will like the cuter versions more than the final one, but sometimes what looks "best" isn't right for the game.

This was fun to do! (Flashing light warning?) Figuring out the way the flashes would shape the wall versus the ambient red light took some time.
A forboding shadow and then the cave collapses!? Intrigue! More art from the intro.

Village Shrine. Some assets I did a while ago for a game jam! You play a shrine maiden who has to take care of all the shrines in a village.

Downtime.

A project from a while ago. I did the art in photoshop, then put the layers together in premiere. Putting together all the moving parts was a big learning curve!

The Mayor of Flower City thanks you for your service.

Just some pixel art I did for a game jam a very long time ago, but it's a good vibe for a first post!
