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.

Have a good weekend, all.

I made my photo better with some tiny doodle friends.

Silly doodle.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I'm planning on spending a little bit of time with friends, but the leaves are coming down so hard right now, most of my weekend will probably be spent cleaning up. LOL It's fun, though.

Take care!

Moo! Cluck! Peep peep! #FanArtFriday

Nouveau Abstract Floral - 302727 (ded2c0 in 2nd pic)

Well here's my finished submission. The challenge was to combine a 70s palette with Art Nouveau, focusing on wallpaper. I think I could do better.

Little doodle of Creosote for your feed.

I was splitting firewood with a friend all day. Busy busy! Hope you're all doing well and have a lovely weekend!

Hey everyone, hope you're all doing well today.

I'm currently working on designing a floral motif for an art nouveau surface pattern challenge. This is what I have so far, but it's still very rough, as you can tell. Fun to make, though!

The Amazing World Of Gumball moment. This was fun to draw, unless I remember incorrectly. What does that even mean..

Hope everyone had a good weekend! I came down with influenza last Thursday night, so not doing too well right now, but I am making slow progress. Stay well, everyone!
