First post after coming over from the other site.
Thought I'd start off with a collection of shots from some Game Trailers I've worked on over the past couple of years.
Happy to be on board!

[ Cassandra Complex ]

Here's the mock-up of an opening sequence for Cassandra Complex. The campaign recently hit 15% funded and we're a few days away from the halfway mark of the campaign! Any hype on Kickstarter or on here would mean a lot!

Looks like that post didn't work.
(PSA, It appears if you want to post a gif you need to select the little film reel icon, not the little image icon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
Shows how much of a BlueSky noob I am lol - here's what it's meant to look like:

Slacked on the posting, but catching back up! Slightly cleaner draft of the run animation for the Main character in the game. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart
Black and Grey rough pixel animation of cartoon girl running on the spot.

Couple of spirit enemy sprites from the action adventure platformer I'm working on. (Can't post more than one gif it seems, so next sprite will be in the replies)

Just saw the trailer for #Absolum .
Holy crap am I excited for this one. Wanna ink and clean this one up later, but was compelled to share something now - so cool!
Sketchy black and white image of stylized cartoon girl slashing through black mass in foreground.

Retrying because Bsky doesn't like gifs :( - Making sure I don't miss posting this week (I find this harder than making the work itself it seems). Here's some preliminary animations for the main character in the game I'm working on. All done in #Krita if you can believe! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Background art from Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)
A background painting that shows an epic fantastical scene of the lost city of Atlantis. Boats offload their cargo at some docks, giant stone sculptures and palaces are shown in the background, emerging from the water.

Depending on the the emotion you want to evoke, lighting is the key to selling the vibes.

Mock-Up screenshot for the action-adventure platformer I'm working on. Had some colour edit help from my (much more) experienced girlfriend to spruce it up a bit. Shapes and assets likely to change, but it's a start!

Bright, colourful pixel art forest with large green tree frog on top of floating mushroom. The player avatar, a young girl with white blonde hair and purple robes, fires a bolt of glowing energy across screen.

This is a little older now, but there's some progress here.
The first looks more like a literal shoebill, but I wanted to push a more fantastical design as seen in the newer look.
It still needs work, but it's heading in the right direction. I hope? Hahaha

Black and White sketch of stylized cartoon shoebill stork-like creatures with. Drawing on the left looks closer to real world counter part and the the drawing on the right looks more fantastical and angular, with protruding ice spikes and fluffier plumage.

Couple of iterations for a Boss in the game I'm working on.
I think we'll end up going with the 2nd option after looking closer at the first and realizing I basically just remade Red XIII hahaha! XD

Some environment concepts from a game project I'm working on with Lillymo Games. Exciting little project that's been on the back burner for a while, but looking to ramp up and get this one at this Calendar year 👀
Colourful, stylized 2D drawings of green foliage and plants and a palm tree and rock wall in profile on a grey background.

Reviving an #OC from way back when with this sketch of Vala from "Sports Goth".
Comic idea's still floating around in the ol' noggin, but just wanted to try and draw something so here she is - in all her flying knee glory.
(Bonus Koike inspired easter egg there)
Digital pencil sketch of muscular, stylized comic book girl jumping through air with front knee raised in muay thai inspired flying knee pose.

In the interest of momentum I'm trying to get better at drawing female characters and forms and stumbled across @emiliodekure.bsky.social's video on how to draw Female Bodies. As soon as he explained the hip dip trick i turned into that Eric Wareheim "mind blown" gif. Thanks heaps! Such a great vid!

Had some time recently to play (and finish) all of the Alan Wake 2 DLC and "The Final Draft" New Game+. I have to say I think I'm Rose's "Number one Fan" now hahaha!
That episode of the Night Springs DLC is the most fun I've had in a game for a while.
Full Rose-tinted spin-off when?
Rough sketch of stylized cartoon woman in waitress outfit firing shotgun.
