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.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

I set out to make a teacup for a project I'm working on, but then I spaced out and did weird things with the shaders... LOL

Anyway, back to work for me.

Hope you're all doing well, and have a good weekend!

Yaaay, I mastered all of @SkiiRyu 's stickers! She is awesome, by the way, so give her a follow if you haven't already.

Haven't decided which stickers I'll collect next... So many creators... Ummm... Hmmm... Uuuhhh... This is going to take some time.

Update 25/05/23. "How am I doing? What am I working on?"

I finished my permadeath run in No Man's Sky and got the To Live Forever achievement! Apparently only 0.8% of NMS players on Steam have that achievement...

It'll be nice going back to all the conveniences of my main save file again.

Here's my submission for #InsectileContest.

You can read more info about it and how to enter over here: https://gamejolt.com/p/i-m-hosting-the-insectile-design-contest-…

This background was made in Blender with a little optimization and colour tweaking in Krita.

I really like making minimal designs that call back to 80s/90s "future" mographs you might see on PC monitors and other displays in movies/animations.

Game Jolt Colors is back!

Draw your OC (or favorite character) in the Game Jolt color palette and post them in the Art realm with the tag #GameJoltColors25.

At the end of the event, we'll pick a winner & add their design to the GJ Colors sticker pack!

Mood.
