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.

Another surface pattern design inspired by trends of the early 1900s, mostly made with upholstery in mind.

You know, this one fits a look, sure, but I can't honestly say it turned out to be my kind of thing.

That's okay, I'll just keep working.

I could only manage a very quick Garfield before getting started on my work for the day, I'm afraid, but it's something. #FanArtFriday

Hope everyone's week is off to a good start.

Fun game! Love the style, too. There's a demo on Steam for any who have a PC; I recommend giving it a play.

I'm probably going to lower the volume of those sound effects. It feels like they just keep getting louder as you upgrade.

Here's the process of one of my ol' Kirby illustrations.

Here is a teaser for a brand new project!

Hombre wanted me to tell you all "hey."

Gave him two brushings when I visited him yesterday, first with my new soft brush to loosen up the mud in his fur (he's a messy guy), and then with the stiffer one. He's finally free of his winter coat.
