Back again with updates for the Sega Dreamcast RPG Elysian Shadows. For the last week I was working on tilemaps, and have an initial pass ready. More can always be done but I like the direction it's heading in.

More animations for the Sega Dreamcast RPG Elysian shadows. This time I'm focusing on a sideways run cycle. Decided to challenge myself by making it only 4 frames long (that way sprite sheet remains condensed).

More work on the Sega Dreamcast RPG Elysian Shadows. Starting off I'll be working on basic walk and run cycles (for 4 directions). This one has the front direction for walking

I've been on the down low for a bit, but decided to start game dev again for the Sega Dreamcast. I'm currently working on a demo for the RPG Elysian Shadows, starting with pixel artwork. We'll see how it goes.

Recently completed a story game in the style of the GBA with the help of @pedes1ayer.bsky.social ! It was alot of fun, and a lot of hard work! It's available for both windows and web.

At it again with more concept art for the Sega Dreamcast RPG: Elysian Shadows.

This time a strapping fellow joins the party: Rand. He's quite the egotist, but he can back it up with cold, hard science. A passionate scholar... who's also a passionate drunkard.

Starting the week with more concept art for the Sega Dreamcast RPG: Elysian Shadows.

This time, I'm doing an ensemble piece for the two party members Julien and Eryn. Lookin' more and more like a tag-team duo to me 😁

Back again with more concept art for the Sega Dreamcast RPG: Elysian Shadows.

A new party member joins the fray: Eryn!
Nerdiest of bookworms, she's a feisty and passionate individual. As a scholar and digger, she spends her free time hunting for ancient artifacts.

More concept art for the Sega Dreamcast homebrew RPG: Elysian Shadows. Still fleshing out the main character Julien with more poses. Want to get a feel for him and his expressions.

Stay tuned for more!

I recently joined an indie homebrew development team as an artist working on a new game for the Sega Dreamcast. It is an RPG called Elysian Shadows, and is in active development.

First order of business was concept art for the party's main character, Julien. Stay tuned!

I decided to practice some form of "real life" drawing, since I haven't really tried that before. So I gave it a shot with tyrrion lannister. It was hard, but I learned alot abotu how to use the pencil

I recently started a game dev blog to chronicle in more detail my journey in writing games from scratch. It's early on but I expect it to grow over the year.

As I was working on my projects, I created a tiny pixel art font for rendering text.
I found it useful, so I opened a store-page in case others would like it also.

Check out my new font here:
