Little animation I made for practice a couple years ago. There was never really a goal with this so I can't really say if it's finished or not. Used my own hand for reference. #pixelart

New intro post since I'm at GDC (!!) -- my name is James and I'm a UI designer by day and a pixel artist by night. I have a particular love of 8- and 16-bit art, Zelda, and dark/medieval fantasy. #pixelart #pixelartist #aseprite #gamedev #gameart #indiedev
A mockup of a 16-bit top-down action RPG. The player character is brandishing his sword at a small mushroom-looking critter, and a treasure chest sits on top of a nearby hill, just out of reach. I worked on this project with a couple of other devs (who have long since disappeared into the depths of the internet) circa 2012. Golden Sun and Secret of Mana were the principle inspirations for this one. A sprite of a samurai warrior in a bright turquoise and purple robe. Inspired by classic fighting games like Street Fighter II and Marvel Vs. Capcom. A recreation of a dungeon antechamber from the original Legend of Zelda in a higher resolution (16-bit) style. A mockup of a GameBoy Color-style top-down RPG. One character with bright purple hair has just spotted the player character and is about to rush over to say hello. A steampunk-looking house sits on top of a hill with a large pipe protruding from it.

Still slightly WIP but wanted to let y’all know that I am back on my bullshit
A 16-but pixel art remake of a dungeon antechamber from the original Legend of Zelda game for the NES. Monstrous statues surround Link and a fairy companion as eerie blue torch lights illuminate the scene.

I never posted much on Twitter but the Hyrule Redrawn project was how I found a lot of great artists on there - these were the screens I worked on. Now I’m gonna work on finding y’all again
