The protagonist is a very simplified Skeleton character and the page shows a turnaround but also compares the parts of a real skeleton to how those look on the simplified character pages with a turnaround of the protagonist from the game "Skellboy".

pixelart illustration in different shades of muted red. The picture shows the portrait of a wrinkly older person, smiling broadly and holding a bouquet of gigantic flowers. The person looks a little bit like a dwarf person, wearing a mushroom cap with white dots as a hat. In the Top right corner is the signature of the artist (Sabaku) and the number "002". In the lower right corner you can read the name of the color palette (red gb) and see all the colors of the palette in a color strip

Seems like there is a massive crisis in the games industry where AAA forgot how Placeholders are supposed to look like, so I thought I would give a demonstration (feel free to quotetweet with your gamedev placeholders)

This is how placeholders in #ProjectZwilling look like
a screenshot showing placeholder maps for the game Project Zwilling. The locations are roughly drawn white on black sketches that only roughly show the structure of the places a screenshot showing a location in the game 'Project Zwilling' with a placeholder fountain graphic

Self imposed challenge!

I'm choosing color palettes from #RejectedPalettes and make pixelart with them. This is my first entry of (hopefully) many to come!

pixelart illustration in very vibrant colors, mostly warm orange and bright green and red. The picture shows the portrait of a person looking over her shoulder and waving at the viewer. She has elf like ears, green hair and big anime style eyes. She is wearing something that looks like a dress with a deep neckline. She is also holding a wooden staff in the other hand.

#ProjectZwilling puzzle screens can now be expanded with more visuals, like in this case the lower half of the candle to give the puzzle more context.
Also possible: Animations or skripts, triggered if you reach certain progress thresholds. I *will* use this to scare myself and others

Mandragora officinarum

ko-fi

#pixelart #ProjectZwilling #horror
pixelart illustration of a mythological mandrake on a black background. The mandrake is depicted as a brown, thick root that vaguely resembles a human infant, with tiny roots that resemble arms and legs and a baby head. The center of the body has a big hole in it, resembling a big gaping mouth with a tongue hanging out. On the head are sprouting green bumpy leaves and two pale violet blossoms, typically for the reallife mandrake. On the top is the signature of the artist and a date (Sabaku, 2025) and on the bottom is the latin name of the mandrake (Mandragora officinarum)

Mandragora officinarum

Tried to finish a piece of #conceptart for Project Zwilling very quickly. Quiet happy with it :)

ko-fi

#gamedev #illustration #digitalart
A black and white concept sketch with inbetween steps for a plant called "Mandragora Officinarum". From left to right the sketch gets more and more detailed until it's finished. The final plant is a root shaped like a baby, with a big gaping mouth. Hands and arms are quite chunky and missing details, like real hands, only having tiny roots that could look like fingers and toes. Multiple big leafes and some flowers grow out of the head of the big root.

Pixel sprites for @schotti.dev s gamedev project Santria!

#screenshotsaturday
a preview showcase of three pixelart sprites for the game "Santria". From left to right: A bipedal fox in red with crossed paws and a big fluffy tail, a brown and dark purple owl which is wrapped in it's own wings with very bushy eyebrows and a green friendly looking cobra with a big hood that has a yellow and red pattern inside that look like big threatening eyes. Underneath the sprites is written the name of the artist ("Sabaku, 2025")

Put the timelapses a little bit on the backburner, because new music track was made!
Sadly I only realized too late that some of the endframes are missing :/

Hope the video is interesting anyways!

Bubsy for the @pixeldailies.bsky.social #pixel_dailies theme #bobcat

Still a WIP because there is no way I'll finish it before the next theme, but I wanted to post something!

Waiting

A black and white artwork of a person in armor, standing between tall grass and under a tree. The person looks to the left, seemingly waiting, while holding a long spear. They also seem only be partly human, as long fluffy ears stick out of the side of its head

(Concept for Project Zwilling

#gamedev #pixelart #ProjectZwilling
An image consisting of two parts, on the left is the digital black and white conceptart of a goat like fantasy creature, the limbs spread out like they are lying on the ground with the eyes and mouth wide open like in shock. On the right side is the same image, but on a far smaller resolution and in a pixelart style with a white, yellow, light blue color scheme
