An image showcasing a bunch of different sprites and mockups. At the top you can see two mockups (one of them in 1bit, of a park with lots of trees and vegetation. The other of a small platformer with lots of vibrant colors featuring my sona.)

At the bottom you can see some ramdom character sprites (my sona in the style of Ring Racers, a frog with a big mouth trying to eat a fly, Homer Simpson, Doomguy walking with a shotgun on their shoulder and Ana from Spelunky 2).

All of these are stylized somewhat differently, doing the outlines in different ways and using more or less saturated palettes depending on the artstyle.

Please remember that the kart is a sprite from the Ring Racers game and I did not make it, only used it as a base to work with!

Map of Japan I made a while back !

I still need to figure out a way to carve out some free time, but I'd really like to do one of Greece / the Aegean Sea at some point

I have fallen in love with my hacked gen 4 ipod. It's such a better time to spend my lunch time intentionally listening to music instead of scrolling.

This remains the single funniest thing I’ve ever drawn to me

Hello, my bathroom ceiling collapsed. Unrelated, would you like to buy some art? They’re calling it “the best time” to do it ✨

They already exist! They're just fringe websites and they all link to eachother. Nekoweb and Neocities and Bearblog are some of the host sites.

Have you tried generating light sensors for the scene? (Sorry my terminology is really shakey). The thing where you make grids of light detectors to better calculate lighting.

A quick little drawing I did, trying to use more textures and colours (and not obsess too much over separate layers for each element)
