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.

Here's my finished Pikuniku fan art.

Hope you're all having a good start to your week!

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.

sharg again ! !

I'm telling you, this little friend did not want its photo taken. Gave me such a hard time—kept hiding under stuff every time I tried to focus on it... LOL So, this is the best I could do.

Hope everyone is doing well today.

Photo of some redbud flowers I took earlier this year. These are actually edible, and I know a lot of people like adding them to salads, but I haven't tried them yet. For one thing, the bees like them so much, I'd kind of hate to take any from them.

Here is a teaser for a brand new project!

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.
