spent the entire day working on this portrait, totally not because I have a big fat crush on Ragatha or something

#pixelart #ragatha #theamazingdigitalcircus

a pixel art portrait of Ragatha from The Amazing Digital Circus, in a more human-like form. The style is reminiscent of oldschool Fire Emblem portraits, and is restricted to 64x64 px.

*gulp* It's #PortfolioDay 👋
I’m a general pixel artist, but I've been focused on character art lately!

#pixelart #ドット絵

A list of my 6-mon team. The list is as follows : Bulbasaur, Applin (Shiny), Noibat (Shiny), Solosis, Phantump, Unhatched Egg. My OC (Sam) is standing in the middle with a confident pose, while holding a duskball pokeball. On my left shoulder is a Shiny Applin. Flying by the left of my OC is a Shiny Noibat, with a happy expression. Below Noibat is a Solosis, directly staring at me. Below Solosis, by the lower left of my OC is Phantump, looking curiously toward a sapling. By the bottom right of my OC is Bulbasaur, looking playful, with one foot lifted above the ground. Bulbasaur also has their vines wrapped around an Unhatched Pokemon Egg. The egg has some sparkles around it, suggesting a Shiny Pokemon is inside it. The shadows below my OC and the Pokemon suggests that the ground that we're currently on is a field of grass.

6 pixel art portraits of my OCs. The character on the top-left is a dark-skinned woman with thick dreads. Both of the front dreads are hanging on the side, and the two dreads at the far back are shaped to look like a bow. They're wearing a white top. The character on the top-middle is a fair-skinned, cool toned character based on a tadpole. They have square frog-like pupils, white eyelashes, and white hair with bluish-green undertones. They wear a green mesh top that seems to fuse with their skin. On the top-right is a half-fennec fox humanoid character named "Hue". He has a white, wild spiky hairstyle that resembles that of a fennec fox. He has a fair, warm-toned skintone, with deep green eyes. He wears a green polo with polka dots on them. On the bottom-left is a 1-horned frankenstein character named Zeek. They have a purplish-blue skin tone, with slight warmth in some areas. They have a messy, uneven but layered short hairstyle. Their hair is black. They have a singular sharp tooth

A set of 32x32 pixel art fruit icons. Top row (left to right) consists of : coconut, mango, apple (red), grapes, pear, strawberries. Middle row (left to right) consists of : pineapple, pear, banana, cherries, kiwi. Bottom row (left to right) consists of : Orange, Corn, Blueberries, Avocado, Lemon, Watermelon.

A pixel art illustration of my OC ZEEK, and their 3-mon pokemon team. Zeek is standing in the middle, stretching their arm while staring directly at Gastly. At the direct left of Zeek, Gastly - staring back, has a mischievous grin to them. Below Gastly is a Shiny Mudkip, looking up at Zeek, with a big grin. On the bottom right of Zeek is Toxel - looking bored, but still interested in whatever tomfoolery is about to happen.

Day 402: the horrors persist
#pixelart #ドット絵 #art #dailies

A pixel art drawing of a scene where a giant figure, with a singular eye covering their entire face, and a gigantic mouth on their body, is reaching down to grab a person. The figure has a light halo above their head, and is staring directly at the person with their mouth open. The sky is cloudy and dark, and covered with eyeballs staring at the scene. There are multiple beams of light going up to the sky in the distance. The scene takes place in a pine forest near a small cabin.

Noooo way it's everyone's less favorite witch from Madoka Magicaaaaaaaa (real) Kandelaria the Witch of Gifts whose Nature is Deceptionnnn no wayyyyyyyy ew I hate her so much.

This is a reference to Charlotte from Madoka Magica for Halloween ehehehe

#pixelart #oc #pixelartist

Design of my sona, Kande, for Halloween.
Her head is a open box with gift ribbon in the middle of it, tied like a bow above her head with its ends on each side. Her face shows big smile from end to end, with mustard colored cheeks, one of her eyes is multicolored and the other is missing, having a star shaped patch instead. Her head pops out her body with a spring neck, which has red and blue tape on it. Her attire consist on a navy blue trench coat with golden buttons and giant sleeves that hide her arms, with straps on each side.

Strongly based on Charlotte from Madoka Magica.
