Getting used to aseprite for game jammin! These are the style we might do for character portraits! #pixelart #art #videogame #gamedev #epic

Speedpaint 9 for the Ballerounda project (last one!!) This theme would be playing during calmer moments in the Boss 3 battle, when the boss is having second thoughts about fighting the player.

Speed paint 8 for Ballerounda

The idea for this boss was to have her alternate being tough vs sympathetic cued by changes in music. This is the first of 2 variations of this boss 3 fight theme indicating the tough phase.

Concept art for Boss 3 (is also the tutorial “boss”). Original concept art this is based on is by paintsimmon on artstation.

I had a lot of fun messing around with different variations of the tutorial theme (this is one of 4, more to come…)

Boss 2 fight speed paint (drawing #6 of the Ballerounda project)!
The whole idea of the music for this was to create phrasee where the first half “mirrored” the notes of the second half (like reverse…or a ***REWIND***).

Speed paint 5 of the Ballerounda project (concept art for Boss 2). OG group for this project never discussed potential designs for this boss, so I figured it would be fun if she was a band leader/jazz action figure/barbie thing.

This is the 4th speedpaint timelapse for the Ballerounda project (first big boss where you fight that crazy windup penguin!). Tried to do some stuff with perspective and lighting…it was a learning experience

One bright side to being forced to live in an AI slop tornado is now I see my artistic mistakes as incredibly endearing. The human machine of my body made that weird line. My worst day of drawing is completely untouchably better than anything AI will ever produce until the heat death of the universe

"Devour feculence. It means eat shit, Mr. Drummond."

(took a little break drawing game stuff to do a quick painting of mr milkshake from severance. EVERYONE GO WATCH IT IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY. HIGH QUALITY STUFF)

Third track of Ballerounda! Instead of a full panel I decided to just do concept art of the first boss, as this music would be playing when you first meet this rabid little wind-up penguin boss.

2/9 panels done! This depicts the tutorial theme where your mentor trains you one last time before you leave forever.

as is ritual, restating that this took too long + going to draw the other panels faster so i can move on to other projects

Here’s the first track, “Sick of Spinning,”with art! This depicts the vibe of the “title” screen, which sets up some of the themes for later bosses while being pretty simple.

“Ballerounda” album is now on Spotify (link in bio)! Had a lot of fun writing it and am looking forward to drawing some moody art for each of the tracks.

Credits to the talented @WilaWizp for the original design of the character on the cover!

In January, I participated in the 2024 Boss Rush Jam! My team unfortunately did not end up submitting a game, but I figured I’d post the art and music I made anyway. Still tweaking the mixing for the music, so here’s some background art!
