Ten games to get to know me

Figured I might as well hope on this. Small shoutout to Dragon Ball GT Final Bout and Devil May Cry 2 for getting me into those series but the other games are more impactful to me.
My character in the game Monster Hunter World pondering over the selection of games: Jet Grind Radio (Dreamcast), Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 (PlayStation 2), War of the Monsters (PlayStation 2), Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate (3DS), The Sims 3 (PC), Minecraft (PC), Skullgirls Encore (PC), Grand Theft Auto V (Playstation 3), Terraria (PC) and Final Fantasy (GBA and phones).

Been a while since I posted anything on here in general. Couple weeks ago, recreated my favorite hammer from MH4U, the Nitroboost Hammer. I used a lot of weapons in that game but this is easily my favorite.
The Nitroboost Hammer from Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. A huge hammer with a spinning drill as well.

This one was an old piece from 2023 for Swordtember. It was the Summoner's Blade and I enjoyed making it.
A blade for Swordtember 2023 (Summoner). With two horns for the guard and an eye for the centerpiece.

Been a while since I posted on here. I have been thinking a lot, figuring out what I want to do. Part of it is improving my art and diversifying what I draw since I have only drawn weapons. So, ended up making a skateboard in Asperite tonight before I head to bed. I'm welcome to any new suggestions.
A simple wooden skateboard that is mostly covered in grip tape outside of a section above the screws on the bottom. On the side, wood can be seen along with red wheels for the board.

After some time, made a new sword for Swordtember. This is for Day 8 - Sun and this was a lot of fun to work on. I'll likely do some more edits to improve the bottom piece of the blade to make it stand out. #pixelart #swordtember #swordtember2024 #sword #aseprite
The Rising Radiance, a sword designed for Day 8 of Swordtember 2024. Has a wavy sun flare like blade, a sun shaped guard, a red cloth wrapped grip and a silver morning star piece at the end. The previous version of the Rising Radiance. With a straight golden blade, a sun shaped guard, a red cloth wrapped grip and a silver morning star piece at the end. Lore for the sword itself. The Rising Radiance is an ancient blade that was found recently in a crumbling temple on Ingolza, the Lost Continent. The temple was previously dedicated to Cyrus, God of the Sun. Interestingly enough, Cyrus is a god worshipped on Edath by the Cria, a race of travelling half elves. It is believed that a few of them settled in Ingolza many years ago and kept this rare relic as an artifact and proof of the fate. Unfortunately, the people there weren't able to escape the Eclipse that wiped out most of the life that was on Ingolza.

Two swords in one day. This one is for Day 7: Moon. This one was tough to work on, outside of the palette and the guard. I am not fully satisfied with this blade so I definitely want to work on it again at some point. No lore for this one rn. #pixelart #swordtember #swordtember2024 #sword #aseprite
Lunar Guardian. A moonstone blade with a silver cross guard and a wooden grip and pommel.

Been a little while since I posted and I have a lot to work on to catch up. Here is Day 6 of Swordtember: Smoke. This blade is called the Smoldering Edge. I will hold off on lore and focus on catching up on working on blades. #pixelart #swordtember #swordtember2024 #sword #aseprite
Day 6: Smoke - The Smoldering Edge. A demonic greatsword in origin, it is covered in a hard encasement of ash but underneath is a fiery blade that emits smoke that can either help or hinder the user. The guard, grip and pommel are all made of a hardened obsidian alloy.

A small peak at sword I am working on. While the blade is finished, I wanted to work on some effects for it along with writing out the lore as well too. After that, I still have 3 more blades to work on today. But, it is a lot of fun though and well worth it for this Swordtember.
The Sword for Day 6 in Asperite. A fiery sword that is slowly coming out of ash with an hardened obsidian guard, grip and pommel.

Day 5: Edible. This was a fun one to work on since there was so much in terms of creativity with the blade itself and with how everything came together. Day 6 Smoke will be a bit challenging but it should be good to see how it comes out.
#swordtember #swordtember2024 #pixelart #sword #asperite
The sword: Splendid Surprise. A cinquedea that has a Torte Caprese as the blade, butter as the guard, hardened sugar as the grip and an almond as the pommel.

Day 4: Divine Relic. So, I originally had a set number of things I wanted for this blade. Though, I realized I never drew Excalibur before and decided to do that instead. This is my original attempt on it with inspirations from other blades #swordtember #pixelart #sword #asperite #swordtember2024
The Legendary Sword Excalibur. Has a solid steel blade with a gold fuller, a golden crossguard with a silver center piece, a blue wrap around the grip and a steel pommel that surrounds a ruby The lore for Excalibur. Where a young knight named Yorn travelled deep within a forest in northern Agrash after months of research and days of travel. Finally, he would find a large spring that had fairies there, with many lingering around an island in the middle. On that island was Excalibur, where Yorn smile at it, more than eager to finish his journey.

Day 3: Cursed Relic. I described this more on Tumblr but I was heavily inspired by Dark Souls when it came to this weapon. There is more I want to experiment with both lore and the blade but I was satisfied with the end result. #pixelart #swordtember #swordtember2024 #art #sword
Wolgar's End. A blade with a unique alloy that can absorb magic and spirits in ancient times. Unfortunately, it has been cursed by giving the wielder an intense thirst for battle, making it grow worse over time. A steel color blade, a black steel crossguard going up with a ruby in the center and a black steel grip and pommel. The lore for Wolgar's End

Time for Day 2. Today's theme was Floral so designed a rose based sword. It was hard to work on since this was my first flower that I have made through pixel art but it was a lot of fun to do! Lore is included with this one as well! #pixelart #swordtember #swordtember2024 #art #sword
The Vengeful Thorn. A rose based blade with a silver grip and pommel, two slender thorns as a crossguard and a larger thorn serving as the blade to this shortsword. Lore of the Blade: You should never underestimate the power of a nature mage as they often have more power than what is commonly thought. It is what led to the creation of this sword. Apprentice mage Sylvia Olgard was one of those mages who was relentlessly tormented by several of her peers at the magic academy due to the weakened state of her family. It led up to the point where they broke into her families estate and destroyed an ancient heirloom, a silver sword that was once used to deal with spirits in the neighboring country of Grivaria. Now enraged, she impulsively challenged them to a duel set for the next day but due to the nature of their crime, all the set duels had to be settled with a sword and no magic. Sylvia unfortunately only knew how to use a knife and short blades and the only available weapons were the longswords that her family were known for now. The smiths weren't any luck either and there were no short blades to purchase, outside of subpar weapons. When all hop

Here is the lore for the sword since it would be too long to type on here lol. I will likely add this into the main post if I don't have too many pictures to share.
Sword name: Winged Elven Longsword Lore: "Very often, elves of the royal families would commission swords as a symbol of their status, often being made with enchanted silver as an easy show of status and magical power. However for this blade, it was created for Rennyn Reyydark out of mithril due to his exceptional service as a ranger. Due to his love for animals, the smith crafted a silver wing as the guard to represent that."

I can't decide between these two since I have a lot of fond memories of them both. But I love Borderlands 2 and Fire Emblem Awakening. Played them both a lot but surprisingly, never beat them

Hey there! Congratulations on getting 100 followers!

I'm Enigma, an amateur pixel artist who enjoys drawing weapons but I am attempting to branch out into other things and improve.
A Blade designed for a Vampire. With a dark alloy blade, a bat cross guard and a dark steel grip. A collection of Pyromancer's spellbooks that were improved over each one, with the cover going from brown, to red to a orange aura around the book. Four different drawings of different chests. Top left is a mimic glaring with bright red eyes, top right is a chest with only a few pieces of gold inside. Bottom left is a normal chest with a small bump at the top and bottom right is the same chest as the left but with no small bump. The staff of a summoner, made out of a dark alloy. There is a crystal floating in the middle.

So, last night, I worked on a new sword design. A pixel art shotel with a bit of a shine towards the middle. Usually I work in 32x32 but I went up to 64x64 to experiment there. If there is anything I can improve on for this or any tips in drawing in 64x64, just let me know! #pixelart
A shotel, a curved sword originally in Ancient Ethiopia. Has a long curved blade with a bright shine at the curve, a wooden grip and a gem adorning the bottom.

Decided to draw some pixel art for Halloween today. Haven't really drawn much this month but will try to make up for it next month along with posting more of my art on here, both with Swordtember and previous pieces I have never shown on publicly. If there is anything I can improve on, let me know!

Got a double in terms of my Swordtember uploads. While I managed to upload the Assassin Blade on Reddit, I wasn't able to on here. So, making up for it, I'm posting both of my blades today.
A set of Shadow Alloy Blades (Dark Purple) with a dark steel grip and crossguard. Top sword is a shortsword while the bottom one is a dagger. A steel scimitar commonly used by many beginner druids. Has a gilded golden guard with a uniquely shaped wooden grip.

Hey, I'm Enigma (or Shunichi. Either one is fine). I'm an amateur pixel artist still trying to find my stride in everything I do. I mainly draw weapons as of rn, with plans on expanding more later on.
