As requested by some, this post will be a dedicated place to view the pixel art illustrations I made for Game Jolt (with a couple bonuses included).

Each of them were first created in GIMP, and then I vectored each value as a separate layer in Inkscape.


Converting each illustration to a vector format was required in order for the coloured pixels to change according to a user's chosen theme. Vector formats can also be a lot smaller in file size if properly optimized.

To prevent seams from appearing between the vectored pixels, I would extend shapes on lower layers so that shapes on higher layers would overlap. This could be a somewhat mind-numbing process, so I had to work hard to stay focused!

Here's what each layer looked like as they stacked higher, finally reaching the clean finished vector:

@Hapu actually created a tool that helped me test and make sure the finished vectors worked properly with user-chosen themes. Thanks again, buddy!

For a very quick look (SEIZURE WARNING, and loud music!) at the entire process, see the video here.

Wooow, thank you so much for the background, @Efe69888 !

It's hard to believe it's been over a year since I made this background, wut... Made it back in July of 2024. Blender, of course.

Been a crazy busy week for me so far. Hope everyone's well!

Here's a fabric pattern (and variations) I made for a challenge with the theme "craft maximalism." I prefer minimalism, so I wasn't very hyped to participate, but managed to make something I liked.

Also, thank you so much for 20k followers!

Folded this origami wood duck to send to a relative who collects duck decoys.

Hope everyone is well and staying warm—it's been very cold where I am, so I'm bundling up and staying close to the woodstove.

Lots of love, and wishing you all a good week!

Here is a teaser for a brand new project!

【Gravity Circuit】

This dude was tricky for me. Took me a couple tries.

Wishing you all an excellent weekend!

This week's Fan Art Friday celebrates Rayman! Accept the quest in your quest log to get started.

Hey everyone, hope you're all doing well today.

Here's the finished illustration I made for my friend who had the stroke recently. She's doing great, by the way—recovering well and making good progress with physical therapy.

Wowowow, 3rd place!

Congratulations to @silverxcristal and @ThePinkGlitch ! Awesome to see some new names in the results this year.

Important DEERWOOD Update! https://youtu.be/hgfhRYR4NBo

This is the first time I'm revealing the last post background I made for my joltbux shop. (Note: Creators cannot make free shop items.)

Proud of how this one turned out. I made the mist effect in Blender and painted the scene in Krita.

Happy weekend!
