I haven't posted art in a while. Here's something I did very early on when I got serious about pixel art, something pretty ambitious I always forget I made.

I like working in the Chrono Trigger sprite style for a couple projects. One of em is Bathysphere, which has some mockup work I've posted before. A coder asked me about making a demo in Godot so am exploring that. Here are some early NPC sketches. It's a nautical/underwater themed world.
Various pixel art NPC sprites for a project called Bathysphere. From top left: a human woman in a red dress, a human nobleman in a red suit and dark cape, a human tribesman w/ red body paint, a clockman (robot) in a suit and hat, an otterfolk in a t shirt, a merwoman w/ a wine glass and summer clothes, a sharkfolk tossing a coin, a hammerhead sharkfolk sailor, a one-eyed crab folk in suspenders, and a turtlefolk pirate w/ a hooked hand.

Repost: A bunch of assorted enemy "battlers" and NPCs for Cathy Goes Flipside.
An assortment of pixel art characters for the project "Cathy Goes Flipside", a JRPG I am developing. From top left: a critter in a cup, a flying succubutt, a mean little alien, a cheerful but sinister tooth, a lady cultist from the Ba Ram You cult, two plantfolk, two punk beetle folk, and an anthropomorphic drill and pair of sunglasses (gurren lagan reference)

So the trick to posting my own gifs is to post them as videos? That was... all? Haha. I didn't know!

Anyway, here's an NPC. John Fishman, who became a fishman in the name of love and is a recurring minor character in Cathy Goes Flipside.

I don't share stuff enough here. Well. I share a lot of opinions but those are not as fun as some nice art to look at. I promote my itch stuff a lot here, but it's only part of what I do and is often very game-dev focused.

Gonna try to share more!

A screenshot from a project called "Starjourn" showing a spaceship bridge with several characters, some human and some alien. A piece of pixel art fanart from the game "Kenshi" featuring the character Beep and his infamous quote "I beep when I'm nervous". Beep is an insectoid-humanoid w/ a very large club and the double moons of Kenshi in the background.

Updated my MCU freebies to incl. characters from Age of Ultron. These don't have to be used in game projects but can make fun avatars and stuff like that. Maybe I should get em made into stickers?

I can also tease another upcoming addition to the MCU fanart sprite pack I'm working on. This one is the classic 90s animated X-men series characters. I have a few started and these are the furthest along:

Some of the NPCs, denizens, and enemy sprites for CATHY GOES FLIPSIDE. Which is a Millennial Girl in Fucked Up Wonderland JRPG that started as a gift for my wife and has grown to become one of my favorite projects.

Used to have a demo up and after I fix it a bit, it'll be up again.

I'm a trans woman. I have a lot of indie gamedev experience across a few roles (mainly writing) but I also am a pixel artist specializing in 16x16 classic tilesets and sprites for other indie devs. Got an itch store where I sell or give away stuff.

evanwritesgames.itch.io

And some samples:
Promo thumb for a zombie apocalypse themed tileset in B&W (classic GB and GBC recolors are in the works). Examples of "corpo" themed tileset mockups from my cyberpunk themed pixel art series. Portraits of Dwarven NPCs from my fantasy-Norse inspired theme, Nine Realms. A promo thumb of my "cyberpunk tribute" sprite packs, which are free and have recently been updated to include sprites from the Terminator franchise. Blade Runner 2019/2049 already included as are a bunch of characters from the Cyberpunk 2077 universe. The Matrix is next!

Speaking of doing things for fun, here's a comparison of the highly rendered original artwork for the game vs. my (far simpler) rendering/redo. There's a lot I'd do differently now but I still think it came out pretty good.
Original artwork of the lowest of the tower of Kefka "levels" from the final boss rush of FF6. My rendering for comparison.

FF6 fanart and one of my most ambitious single pieces.

Sadly, I don't do a lot of artwork like this anymore (and I'm still a poor bg artist). Comes to mind that I don't do much for the fun of it anymore in general. Something to think about.
One of my most ambitious pieces ever was a full revamp of some old FF6 sprites I did up. It didn't feel like "enough" though so I decided to make the goddamn Tower of Kefka and throw all the heroes of the game at it. I am not a very good background artist.

Never know what to post. Not very good at glomming on to trends, especially in fanart, etc.

But I've said that I am gonna try to post art more, even if it's old stuff. This is one of my favorites.

Combat mockup for Bathysphere and the final piece in the series submitted for the mockup gamejam. I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out but it shows a lot of my limitations when it comes to UI design.

Last two Bathysphere mockups. This time a crew/vehicle menu and a combat screen (in the style of classic JRPGs).

Bathysphere stuff again! This time a mockup of a character selection menu featuring the full party and blurbs about each of them. This is a Part 1 cuz you can only add so many phoots to a post. The gif version of this is a lot more convenient, Bsky!

An interior mockup for "Bathysphere", a submission I made a while back to a "mockup game jam" on itch. I'll be trying to post more artwork as I've majorly slacked off but I really wish Bsky would figure out gifs already.
The style of the project is based heavily on Chrono Trigger. On the left, you can see the player's party as they enter the scene. A sort of moonpool to their right, and then a parts shop w/ a few NPCs to suggest that the party has entered a town or town-like location.

I'm Evan and I'm a pixel artist. I mostly do game-related art but I'm fairly versatile. I have an itch store for asset packs I create for other indie developers (check me out for links). Here's some stuff!
