Everything has an end, and for the last day of #EmbervillePixelChallenge, it is the Self-Portrait, I took it literal, and tried my best to capture myself on a 32x32 pixel canvas using the Resurrect 64 palette.

And for Oct 2nd of #EmbervillePixelChallenge, the "Dream Class" was explained to be, what playable class we would want to see in the game Emberville. I made a Warrior subclass, the Runesmith, that uses hammers and runes for buff/debuffs.

For Sept 30th of #EmbervillePixelChallenge prompt "Kymia".

Kymia, which in the Emberville universe is still mostly unknown what it actually is, though what we know from game lore is something that can be interpretated as the games respawn mechanic, thus. A respawn loop.

For Sept 29th for #EmbervillePixelChallenge Gloom. An little creepy, stalking gloomy dweller. Nothing fancy.

For Sept 28th of #EmbervillePixelChallenge Embers are, according to my interpretation, the name of the community members of the Emberville discord (which are also called "Embers").

Thus, a bit of a character, but with a hell rider vibe

For #EmbervillePixelChallenge 's Sept 27's Beast submission, i can only give you partial "loot" from it, either the mask of a wooden beast, or then the head of a tree humanoid/golem/entity.

I got bionicles vibes while drawing it.

For the 26th of Sept, Dusk, I made a little creature that would awake to illuminate the darkness, much like a firefly or will'-o'-the-wisp, yet a stone spirit. I also wanted to animate it, because I found it too cute!

With knowledge comes power. and with power comes Sept 24's #EmbervillePixelChallenge Book, with a magenta cover and blue ribbon bookmark to know what chapter we left off at.

You know what time it is, Sept 23 "Key" of the #EmbervillePixelChallenge - keys are fun, i made a few more in different colors. Now, what could this open?

Felt on edge, but put it in perspective and you got yourself a shiny one for the Sept 22's #EmbervillePixelChallenge Sword art, tried to have it point outwards.

For the Sept 21. Potion of #EmbervillePixelChallenge I grant you, a potion of Roasted Coffee Beans. It's like coffee, but magical. You always need that extra kick when you dungeon crawl.

Fanart cardgame concept for @emberville.bsky.social's Emberville. How to make a cardgame based on a dungeon crawler? As you use your weapon, you level it up.. making you hit more.. This is fan art, the game might not actually ever exist publicly. Spider is not fanart

I got my new PC, yay. But I also became Dad², so little to no time for PC. GG
My art designing has been on pause due to my workstation constantly crashing/BSOD, so i am in the process of building a new PC heavier than the old rig.

Living in the boardgame feed, looking at people gaming boardgames and posting of their gameplay. I am not at all jealous.

I have been going back and forth between vector/illustrated cards and pixel art cards. Cannot decide which way to settle with.
Im in the middle of designing a dwarven card deck of units, upgrades (attachments), knowledge (affecting whole deck), relics (better upgrades), and artifacts/wonders (affecting lands), land, and event cards, for my tcg/carddraft area control boardgame 🎲✂️

Graphics, im thinking.. Pixel art. 🤔

Im working on my 3rd board game concept.. a tcg/deckbuilding area control game. So im just figuring out synergies and card names for various traditional fantasy races' decks...
February 9, 2025 at 5:16 PM
Im looking at board game designers posts on bsky and my urge and will to get back into it is big. What I don't have is time. Wish a day had more than 24 hours sometimes, so I could have more spare time...

My board game designing has been put on hold longer than planned, mostly because of the family life, and simply no free time
January 8, 2025 at 4:03 PM
Having family over for a few days, the concept design work is put in hold until next year / Jan'25, mostly because none, or limited, access to tools to make art, during this time.
