Uh, don't forget to use references I guess. #pixelart #indiedev
Two pixelart sketches of a Eurasian Spoonbill - the one on the left from memory (which lacks proper anatomy, colors and proportions) and the one on the right with the use of references, which improves on the memory sketch significantly and looks a lot more appealing.

A silly christmas-gift #pixelart emote I made for some in-game buddies last christmas. It reads *horribly* at a smaller scale and makes for a bad emote, but at a larger sizes I quite like how it turned out!

Took the time to neatly wrap up and release my first free #aseprite plugin. It allows you to link all duplicate cels in the animation timeline with the click of a button.

If that sounds useful to you, get it here: ko-fi.com/s/4dee65cee5

Quick update on the entire set of froggos I ended up making. I think those strange legs worked out as well as they could have! #pixelart #indiedev
A set of small edible frog sprites in pixelart. Three swimming versions, with spread legs floatin gin the water, and five frog versions for sitting frogs, each in a slightly different pose.

Whoever decided to allow frog's legs to fold like this CLEARLY hates pixel artists. #pixelart
A reference picture of an edible frog, with it's legs folded next to it. The hip, lower leg and foot basically from Z patterns closely next to the body. The other half of the screen is my small resolution pixelart version of this, which simply cannot hope to show any of these shapes properly.

Never finished this study of my favourite scene in The Witcher's latest season - maybe I will soon! 😅

Quick WIPs of some Lapwings I'm working on for Crumble.

Love these fierce little birds, but nailing their shape at the correct size is proving tricky! #pixelart #indiedev #birds
A work-in-progress pixel art asset of a Lapwing for my game. There are 5 different sizes, because I'm currently trying to find a sweet spot between the recognizability of the bird and making sure it doesn't seem too large in comparison to the rest of the game.

Still really like how this #pixelart Glittering Starfrontlet came out! Made last year for Avian August. #birds
Definitely gonna have to make some time to join again this year!

Some old fanart of a Boguin, my bestest bud from Owlboy!

A pixelart redraw of a Boguin from the indie-game Owlboy, who is the bestest bud. It's saying "Hey Bud" in a text bubble

A whole beehive full of #pixelart iterations for a little bee! Which one is your favourite?
A sheet with 40+ iterations of a bee sprite, made as part of a commissioned work. Each bee is slightly different, with different bodyshapes, colors, stripes, eyes or wings.

These Black Slugs (Arion ater) have found themselves a fungi-feast! #pixelart #indiedev #slugs
