Lack of streams this week :( I have a bunch of appointments which fall in line with my streaming hours! Hopefully, we can still have some fun though >:)

I'd say not to worry about all the fancy things to begin with. If you want to dive into streaming, people don't care if you have just a grey box border and chat window 😂 I managed to hit affiliate in a month with this as my overlay haha. I just slapped some construction tape on it and called it done
A grey twitch overlay that's very minimal. There is yellow and black striped tape in the corners and the words "Under Construction" written

Bowser has the goofiest grin 😂 I have so many photos that could all make good contenders, but I do love this one of him in the snow!
A photo of a golden retriever puppy (Big puppy, almost an adult but not quite) in the snow! Tufts of grass poke through the snow. The golden retriever looks like he has a big friendly smile and attentive eyes. He is fluffy and cute.

After a looooong time working on it - we finally finished my stream card!! You'll see this when I start and end my stream, as well as when I take my breaks during streaming! I hope to add something on the screen in future, but I'll save that for another day ! #pixelart #art #streaming
A large pixel art piece depicting a 90s monitor, left in an overgrowth of foliage and roots. The monitor is on and working, showing a blank white screen. Moss has started to form around the monitor case. There is a post-it-note stuck to the front, it reads "Gem Cusworth" and has a number of social icons - Twitch, Bluesky, Ko-fi, Twitter and Discord. Fern-like leaves creep in and come over the monitor face. In the top left corner, there are some pink, bell shaped flowers. In the bottom right, there are a cluster of small blue wild flowers.

I did this secret santa piece back in December and totally forgot to upload it! The theme I was given was fairy tale and my mind went straight to red riding hood. I'm not super confident with full pieces or characters really, so this pushed me out of my comfort zone! #pixelart #art
Pixel art - 64x64 A depiction of red riding hood (a girl in a long red hooded coat) holding a basket. She faces forwards. Behind her is a large dark grey wolf who looks to be prowling. They are in a snowy forest, the trees branches are void of leaves. The piece is mainly monochromatic, the only colour being that of red riding hood and the piercing red of the wolf's eyes.

A simple #commission piece of my own character 😆My DM very kindly commissioned a simple line #art and colour with basic shading for a larger group piece of all our party members!
This is Lira, the first #D&D character I ever made, hence the edgy blue skinned elven rouge with an urchin background 😅
A simple digital art piece, solid colour outlines and block colours with simple shading. A blue skinned elven woman with large pointed ears and a slim complexion. She holds a small bouquet of bluebell flowers. She is in dark rouge clothing with leather gauntlets and belts. There is a nesting pouch on her hip belt with a large grey mouse poking out. This piece is cropped to show from the hips upwards. This is a commission piece of a dnd character

I wanted to make my first post of the year something more reflective to take off the pressure of making some crazy new piece to kick off the new year 😅There's a couple pieces in here you haven't seen yet, made in December, I'll post those next week! #artvsartist
Art VS Artist grid with 8 pieces of artwork and a photo of Gem.

Show off your range of styles! 🎨

With a degree in Concept Art and a passion for pixels, my canvas sizes range from 4K to 16x16 pixels. The shown works get smaller from top left to bottom right. I would say that's quite the range 😂 There's a lot of pinks and blues, though 🤔

A large and detailed piece of key art depicting a herd of "Grumbulls" milling about a field. They are an alien creature designed by myself, for a wider alien world called "Astruezuno". They are herding, grazing herbivores like Earths cows, but they have unique features that make them different, large horns, a much wider and shorter snout, tusks and long fur that covers their round bodies. They have patterns that glow to alert the herd of danger. There is a baby grumbull behind the legs of its mother. A digital painting of a gnome girl with very large ears, blue eyes and long curly pink hair. She looks up above the "camera" with a smile. She wears simple druidic garbs, an off the shoulder light blue dress with a hide/leather/fur belt and skirt with a front facing split. She wears the symbol of Eldath - Goddess of rivers and flowing water. The waterfall symbol carved into a piece of wood and hangs on her belt. She has cloth wraps from her wrists to her elbows. A large pixel art piece of Gems goblin OC, Meeko. She is a goblin with green skin, 3 blue eyes and pink hair, she wears a black crop top and has some gold triangular earrings and a helix piercing. She is posed with her fist up, showing off some spiked knuckle dusters, she stands tall and looks bright eyed and playful! She has her tongue out at you in a fun taunting gesture. This pixel piece is animated, her large ears twitch and her 3 blue eyes blink! "Autumn Crops" - A set of pixel art Stardew Valley autumn crop reskins. From top left to bottom right, there is: A bundle of amaranth with an orange ribbon, an artichoke, a beetroot, a bok choy, a broccoli, a few cranberries with a couple leaves, an aubergine (eggplant), a bunch of grapes, a pumpkin and a yam

A photo of two monitors, one above the other. The lower screen is a drawing tablet, and shows a simple stream overlay made of grey boxes with sketches over the top in both blue and green. The upper monitor reads "STARTING SOON @gemcusworth" with a variety of social media icons. I will be streaming the creation and updating of my stream overlay and doing a bit of rebranding!

I just need to get my printer working - I'm so sorry for the huge delay in the giveaway! #pixelart #art #stickers #rpg
"Classic RPG sticker set - Gem Cusworth" (Red pixel font) A sheet of pixel art stickers depicting various classic RPG items. It has a white background and a red border with little pixel art swords in all four corners to frame the stickers.

GIF - A haunted laundry room with a suspicious amount of "pizza sauce" on the floor. The room has a number of old washing machines, one of which can be seen with a red liquid spinning inside the drum. There is a large, old double sink with murky water in the left side. A green bed sheet hangs in the corner, a ghost pokes its head through the sheet, scary! Someone clearly tried to mop up the "pizza sauce" but didn't do a good job. There is a pile of clothes next to the washing machines. The room is definitely older, you would guess from the 1970-80s A Boeslime (A bovine - bull - made entirely of green slime) This is a pixel art sprite on a mid blue background with a small GC signature in the corner. The boeslime looks ready to charge! It's red eyes stand out amidst the green of its body "Autumn Crops" - A set of pixel art Stardew Valley autumn crop reskins. From top left to bottom right, there is: A bundle of amaranth with an orange ribbon, an artichoke, a beetroot, a bok choy, a broccoli, a few cranberries with a couple leaves, an aubergine (eggplant), a bunch of grapes, a pumpkin and a yam "Rest in pixels - Sticker pack - Gem Cusworth" titles a sheet of halloween themed, pixel art stickers. From top left to bottom right, there are: A caldron, a pumpkin, a witches hat, a burnt out candle, a piece of candy, an eyeball with a red iris, a skull, a red mushroom with white spots, a coffin with a cross on it, a toffee apple, a candy corn and a grave with headstone. These stickers are available for purchase on Gem's Kofi shop!
