So happy I can finally share the card back for the special anniversary for #MechShuffle. It's on sale right now so go check it out!

I don't usually draw mech so this was super challenging for me. Even worse, I had an artist block for the colours when the deadline was fast approaching. #pixelart

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians that celebrate! Also grateful to the first stewards of this amazing place we call home.

Did you know the old school pokemon sprites were limited to only 4 colours, two of which were black and white?

Took a small break and played some games, feeling great about making art again! Having a blast making creatures limited to 4 colours #pixelart #pokemon

AAAAHHH I did NOT know this was an requirement to publish on the play store! I don't even know 12 people! And a 2 week testing period means I won't make my deadline!

Fun fact: the placeholder art for "pupperoni" is actually my keeshond puppy!

The water stone resource generator was the hardest for me to draw. The spots are supposed to be bubbles, but I'm not sure if I got that across. The shape the and spots makes it look like cowry shells, which fits well with the water theme.

Why is the element called grass but the evolution stone called the LEAF stone? All the other stones were so shiny and I felt bad that the GRASS stone felt plain and boring. I made it pop more like those polished geodes.

Updated the electric stone sprite to be darker with a more distinctive shape. Got some feedback that the bright green was too confusing with the grass stone. I'm liking the change, the sparks in the back remind me of kintsugi

Here's the main screen of my idle game with the retro GBA feel! Pupperoni is a placeholder and can be ignored. Just a few more things to add before it's done!

First look at the resource generators! Inspired by evolution stones. Might need to tweak the top two to match the rest
