My OC with the gamejolt palette! (repost)

This cat is also the main character for a game I'm working on (Time Tomias).

The colours where fun to mess with, and even had to pick the colours wisely to make the character feel right!

Artwork Development

The sketch

Started with a simple sketch, so I could make the linework

The lines

I had to plan on what colours I should use, since the palette is limited and some og colours aren't present on that palette!

I decided to make the outlines lighter than the fur colour (kinda like the Sonic Battle artstyle), so it wouldn't look too weird.

I had some issues with the gun glove tho, I already started filling the colours and there was no colour that would fit the glove (I didn't use blue because the shirt was going to be blue too), so I changed that specific outline to the darkest colour in the palette so I could use the green from the other outlines to fill it next.

Filling the colours

I was going to fill the eyes with black from the palette, but it looked kinda weird, so I went with the own outline's colour instead, and it looked so much better!

Final results

I haven't used one colour from the palette, so I made a laser with that colour (the lasers are actually lime green on the og colours! So it was a pretty good fit).

And then I put the title for his upcoming game, I picked magenta since I only used it on the nose.

Why did I yapp so much just for this art? Well, I just like to show my progress and how I surpassed the difficulties I've found on the way!

Next up

My favourite #SummerMemory is doing sleepovers at my best friend's house and then just play together and walk on the city. It was always like this every summer until we reached highschool.

I also went to various beaches and waterparks before the pandemic.

Trying out hand-drawn animation.

It's not very practical with lack of equipment (that's my ipad with a white screen under the papers...), but I feel like its easier than animating digitally, since the paper's texture makes it better to draw.

Menus and sub-menus!

Added menu navigation! You can now either continue the game from your last "checkpoint", or just go to the level selection screen and play a level freely, and then the other essential buttons.

JUST SHARED MY FIRST EVER NARRATIVE ANIMATION!

Did this for my final school project, got the max grade!

The animation is fully in portuguese , you have to watch it on YT for the english subtitles.

CHASE!!!

Tomias is trying to get the time machine back even with his claws out, while Brat is running for his life... Where those claws have been in?

I'll start drawing in other artstyles like before instead of the usual rendering I've been doing latelly.

Introducing: Time Tomias!

Time Tomias is a 2D scrolling platformer & metrovania where you can manipulate time to surpass impossible obstackles.

This project is on prototyping phase yet, but there are playable builds.

Updating the game pages with some new fresh art of the game!

Koppy is charging up his jump to reach that platform far in the sky and collect the medal... can he make it?

Forgot to show off the cake themed level with its final tileset!

Before the long development pause from months ago, I still managed to finish 2 sections of this level, but didn't got to show it...

This level will be fully remade anyways, it's too messy!

He might be evil...

Practicing more of this lighting and shading and also more exaggerated poses.

I'm eventually planning to start a comic book (webcomic) series of this, exactly in this style! Idk how I'm going to start developing it tho...

Save data + level completion/unlocking

Today I did a huge breakthrough! Not only you can now properly unlock new levels after beating the previous ones... but also your progress can be saved! And it's automatic!

The game saves after you complete a level.
