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.

Yippee, wahoo, yaheeeee!

Little something I put together in Blender and Krita for #Mar10 Day, 2026.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

A donkey walked up to me and let me pet him yesterday, so it's been a 10/10 weekend for me.

A minimal surface pattern design inspired by lotus pods. Neutral designs are very popular for wallpaper, so trying to work more of those into my collection.

Here's a photo from one of my recent walks! I think daffodils have to be one of the most welcome sights after a long cold winter.

It's chilly again today, but I have the wood stove fired up and cranking out the heat! Hope everyone's doing well.

Here's a surface pattern design I painted that was inspired by an embroidered jacket. You can probably see I used an arch motif as a guide for this one. I think it looks really cool for upholstery (chair mockup courtesy of Spoonflower).
