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.

A fabric/wallpaper pattern I originally intended to submit for Spoonflower's toile de Jouy challenge, but I ended up making something else I liked better.

Gou and Saba find themselves in a vast rocky desert. Saba is feeling a bit homesick.

Here's something nicer to think about.

I've decided to name this scribbly li'l boi Creosote.

Some of his favourite hobbies include lounging in the garden and being far too silly.

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

I just want to shrink and sit in the shade of this mushroom.

Another doodle of Creosote.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Toem is a great game. I illustrated a scene I really liked.

I woke up to a new Kirby alarm this morning. 10/10 way of waking up. The sleep music was also great.

Been waking up a bit later, but gradually working my way back to 6:45 a.m., possibly 6:30. Not a morning person, but Alarmo has really helped me.
