James was one of the first pokemon he caught and one of the only 3 that made it to the final battle of the game. He gave his life in that battle […]

My entry for the GB Pixel Art Jam2025! The theme was "Balance" with a constraint of 1-bit art and 192 unique tiles (so that it can display on original Gameboy hardware).

When I read the theme this year was Balance, one of my first thoughts was of the Ocean and […]

Pixel Daily Sept. 29: Horror

This is my usual reaction to horror. Surprisingly easy to convert an emoji to a GB sprite, almost like they were designed to be legible at a small size :P

Wanted to attempt an Alakazam sprite for telekinesis, ended up just doing his head and a pair of crossed spoons.

Wanted to try making a classic PlayStation memory card. Really tricky getting that old logo to look recognizable at such a low res, but hopefully it reads okay.

Attempted to do a Gameboy sprite of the Pokémon Komala, but wouldn't you know it, at this low res it just looks like a Koala.

Drawing nothing but blanks this morning, so I attempted to draw an entire stage in a single 16x16 sprite. Wcgw? Hopefully it reads okay?

When I read angler fish I immediately wanted to try doing a Hankler fish! I don't know if it's particularly recognizable, but I'm happy with it anyway :P

When I saw today's prompt I just had to attempt a GameBoy Hornet sprite! It's far from perfect, but I think it turned out pretty darn good!

In my continuing hyperfixation on Gameboy and DMG, I've completely redesigned my stream overlay! I've attempted making my own overlays in the past and they were quite frankly terrible. But I'm very proud of this one!

It's slightly animated too, but I know […]

This is by far the biggest pixel art piece I've ever done. I normally like to stick to very low res and mostly sprite work, but for some reason I decided to make this "totally not a gameboyTM" have an accurate screen size. And why not do it in the GB Studio DMG […]

Quick little warmup on stream, had to go with the speediest animal around, the humble hedgehog of course ;P
He's just a silly little guy.

@jsstaedtler

I'm not confident enough in my illustration abilities yet to draw Ceilidh, but here's an NES style sprite of her I whipped up ^^
Hope you like it! Sorry your brain hates you atm 🫂

I'm not much of an astrology person, so I just looked up my sign, and upon seeing that it was two fish, immediately thought of the ocean and moon spirits (Tui and La) from Avatar the Last Airbender. So […]

Oh well, I think it's a simple but effective cannon :)

Today's pixel daily "Wild West"

Attempted to make a Gameboy style pair of smoking pistols and a cowboy. The cowboy almost reads like a skull to me, but it was intended to be facial hair.
