The Cat Who Caught The Mouse. You can catch one too, you only need to be just like him. I'm sure there are plenty of mice around. Go look. It'll be good for you.

(It's so hard not to make a cat look goofy)

Here is a pixel art rendition of The Cat Who Caught The Mouse, once considered a deity, later it was understood to be a type of fae, an embodiment of success and perseverance, The Cat looks satisfied, with its prey still dangling from its mouth.

Can I get some interpretations on this? I found it printed on the backside of my kitchen floor tiles.

A monochrome pixel art triptych. In the first panel, the gods peak from their realm at a mountain top. In the second, the mountain is in the distance and a figure, perhaps religious, gestures to it - stars float above the scene. In the third, the eye of one of the gods overlooks the mountains, now coated in destruction, which pours down on a half buried pyramid and a temple tower.

You can trust me. Would a face like this lie to you?

Vulethi the Elfdragon is represented here in poorly done pixel art. Vulethi has a long serpentine body making a broken figure 8. He is green all over save the golden tip to his tail and his elven face - he has purple lips and large golden eyes. His head is surrounded by a mane of greenish hair.

One can never have enough, and why should you? There's always more for the taking.

So take it.

#indiedev #pixelart #gamedev
Rapacity, a creature of pure greed, is represented here in pixel art as a purple mound with dollar sign eyes, signs of exhaustion in dark circles under the eyes, and an innumerable amount of hands reaching for some goal.

Be proud of who you are, and if you aren't - just buy a personality with your immeasurable wealth.

A pixellated stag, it has four horns of intricate gold, around its neck are several necklaces. Its nose is held high in the air, in a gesture of pride.

For some reason, my cat hates this guy. I usually find it brutalized on the floor, or dragged under the sofa like a hastily hidden corpse. #godot
A Godot plushie lying lifeless on the ground, a victim of a vicious feline attack. Threads bare and punctures all over its head.

Some beady little eyes might give the creature away. I'll take another crack at this later. When aggressive, the sprite will flip, so as to reduce confusion in loot-rich areas.

One never knows what they'll find here. Now to change this into a mimic sprite... #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev
Pixel art of a bag or satchel, some coins on the ground, and an indistinguishable third object, perhaps a root, small bag, or golden-eyed critter.

I've done almost no pixel art lately, but here is a unicorn to carry your wishes to the blood gods. #gamedev
A pixellated image of a unicorn, it is white and a reddish brown. The majesty of such a creature is indescribable.

Rat King.
A pixellated image of what could be rats. Three heads are visible along an amorphous body, three tails are nonsensically attached.

Two-tone pixel art (plus a third for the black background) has been a great challenge and I can already feel myself improving. There's some bits of this snake I'm not happy with, but that's #gamedev babyyyyyy.

Happy year of the snake. Gonna stop making creatures and work on fine tuning the game design of my little pet project that's on the side. Should have something to show there soon.

Got a tiny bit of game dev time in this morning. If I'm ever going to complete a project, I'll need to figure out a more reliable way to find time. Anyway, here's a rat.

I've changed sprite sizes and am redoing what I have. I think the pixel art will benefit from this. Now if only I could do a little game dev...

My take on one of my favorite creatures: the coil snake from Earthbound. He looks slightly depressed.

#gamedev #pixelart
A blue and orange coiled snake, his expression is slightly sad.

Behold, Schmendrick, the last of the Red Hot Swamis. This was purely me trying to ape the Caves of Qud style.

Is this ominous? A little bit too much like a sleeping baby.

Trying to do a sprite a day as part of my creative warm up for game design. Behold, the ferocious rat.
