Small cottage here that's alone with a tree and a pond with a couple of ducks.

Definitely my best building so far, but still a long way to go

Not had much time today, was playing around with some 16*16 characters and giving them their own personality

It's really basic, but I'm really pleased with this

Carrying on with practicing some #isometric practice in with a very basic #tileset

Some more #isometric practice, it was a bit of a struggle but pausing for a while and coming back to it definitely worked better.

Really pleased with the shading on the face overall though, probably the best I've done in my opinion.

A fairly quick attempt of trying to get a #tree to go through different seasons and growth

Cheeky lil #pirate to start the day

A quick attempt at a #gibdo from #zelda

I also wanted to try a different method with the hands as I'm never really happy with how I attach them, so I've gone the #worms route instead and having them just floating there

Really basic design with almost no detailing, but trying to get better at thinking about the same design from different perspectives and how they fit together

Challenged myself a bit more today, wanted to try and get the #isometric view of a #mimic in

He's not perfect, but I'm happy that he's identifiable and he looks pretty good overall

Continuing the theme of overly friendly monsters, we've got a little #goblin

Trying to be a bit more precise with detailing and I like the ears, but I think some more outlining could have been useful

I'm really enjoying drawing lil-monsters at the moment, this guy is a bit too friendly to be threatening though

Quick sketch out of a ranger type character here, can definitely see him prowling through bushes and trees

Progress through trying to learn more about perspectives, working on a slightly larger canvass and feeling pleased with these to start with

Slightly scrappy, but a small pot of food for #pixeldaily #flavour #pixel #pixelart

My biggest character so far at 32*48 and you can tell it took me a while to get the proportions right but I'm pleased with how she's turned out.

Some fairly large inspiration/rip-off of #teaks from #seaofstars but need to learn from somewhere so it should be from the best!

Really struggled today, tried for 10 iterations of this character before I decided it made more sense to be a female mage and after that she came together quite quickly.

I am beyond pleased with this little #chuchu attempt from #zelda

It's definitely reminiscent of the little slime, but it's got its own personality as well

Mixed it up slightly with an idea for a small trio of houses, first time I've tried a building and whilst I can see a few places to make improvements this went better than I expected

Another iteration today, this time of a kid wearing a backward cap. Tried getting some different directions in as well which I realised went terrible bad for the back angle so that's one to bear in mind next time

First proper attempt at trying to create a character and iterate on them. Not quite sure if the shield worked out, but as a first draft I'm really pleased with the journey this guy went on and how it turned out

First attempt at some very basic animation, the #pokeball I'm pretty happy with but the animation is lacking

First attempt at an #isometric design and it nearly broke my brain.

Much harder than I expected, but I'm relatively pleased with how it came out. Despite the jankiness in the top left.

Safe to say that #zelda is going to be featuring pretty heavily in my journey.

Not quite happy with some of the proportions, specifically with the diagonal joins , but overall I think this pretty good for a first attempt.

Started this account to document my journey into pixel art and game dev, expect slow and very painful progress
