I'm a pixel artist named Diego and I live in Peru. I go with the nickname "Shackhal". I always loved the graphics of the retro games, specially on the SNES era (I own one. It still works :D). So it's logical that I wanted to create those graphics.

I also make some games (some of them never released). I currently use Game Maker Studio for that.

If you want to see my skills or other silly stuff, check my portfolio. Also, if you want to contact me for commission work or just to talk, send me an e-mail to shackhalboss[at]gmail.com.

See you around.
