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.

... Talk about impact! Ouch...

Kudos to the kind soul who rescued me immediately afterward.

Photo I took of some buttercups in a field.

Sometimes, this is what my dreams look like... But most of the time, weird dumb stuff happens, like getting thrown from tree to tree by apes, or riding in a vehicle driven by wasps.

Wow, super cool surprise! This Kirby illustration I painted over two years ago received a Daily Deviation on DeviantArt. For those who don't know, it's an award. This makes my fourth Daily Deviation!

Welcome to KB Draws an Elephant for the First Time.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Here is a teaser for a brand new project!

Photo from earlier this year of some crocuses springing up.

Hope everyone's well today!

I had a bad leak in the water pipes under my home—got most of it patched up today, thankfully, but all the pipes will need replacing. Phew... It's going to cost.

Drew this while watching videos of manatees.

As a kid, I "adopted" a rescued manatee named Betsie by giving donations every month. They would send me photos of her—she always looked like she was smiling.

Bro was really gunning for me, but I managed to get the last gem for our team... While I was dying??? Hey, I'll take it.

Also, this was my first online match, and my first online win! (My team carried me. )
