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.

Thanks so much to my top ten supporters for the month of May, and everyone else who sent charged stickers my way, bought my shop items, said "Yo, sup dawg," etc. Appreciate you all.

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.

Quiet morning working on a chintz-inspired abstract floral surface pattern design (you can see more of the pattern toward the end of the video) and listening to Paulinho Nogueira.
