Its been a while since I have posted any progress for CBR so I am happy to drop this off here. Keep in mind that this is still being assembled.

I told myself I wasn't going to participate in this year's Byte Off competition, but I still managed 2 do artwork for Pizza Portal. It was nice 2 team up with @artixgames.bsky.social & @raftronaut.bsky.social. So many good entries this year & we both were shocked that we won for Best Game. CG 2 all

Whoa, it's been a while. But no worries, I'm still alive. Worked on some art for Pizza Portal that will be submitted to this year's Byte Off 4. Was nice to work on a project with @artixgames.bsky.social

I don't like using Nxxt to do my pixelart nor in nesmaker. For now I've been using Pyxel edit. Unfortunately, you don't know if you over design until you try and convert it to the NES. As you can see the design almost didn't make it. I had to go in and make adjustments.

Development of the core room. Of course its not at its final design per-say until the time comes.

With @dalecoop.bsky.social & @raftronaut.bsky.social , we are finally making a full entry to Chaos Between Realms. Although I may come up with a new title of it.

Bernie from Troll Burner will be starring along side Maxx aka James, Jin's father from the original CBR.

It's been a little while since I've worked on a project. Let's just see what's gonna make it and what's going to be cut out.

I've been talking about getting a screen drawing tablet for a long time, and I finally invested in one. Now I just have to study more using Clip Studio and get use to doing digital art besides pixel art. Not bad though. So far I love it.

Come on guys 🤣 I am very proud of the work @dalecoop.bsky.social @raftronaut.bsky.social and Artix have done in such a short time for the convention, but its not that serious 😅

NES friendly logos I made for myself and the gang. Although @raftronaut.bsky.social never asked I did it anyways 😅 also made a Nesmaker logo, more like make it so it can fit in the Nes for anyone to use. Just ask me.

No matter what, never neglect and disown line art. I've always loved doing rough sketches, especially seeing other people's work. Now in days I try to remind myself to draw on paper. I use to spend hours drawing on paper when I was young.

A project that I wanted to work out years ago. But unfortunately I wasn't good enough, especially for 8 bit pixel art. But man, how much I've grown since with the right supportive community.

I have gotten the green light to make this project come to life years later.

With the Midwest Gaming Classic done this year, there is still lots to do on my end. Let's hope for the best.

Nice to work with @dalecoop.bsky.social sky.social @raftronaut.bsky.social sky.social looking forward to continue to work on furture projects.

Awesome work by Austin Mckinley of Jin Kang. Nothing like seeing another artist drawing your character in their own style.
