Happy #PortfolioDay!
I place and sometimes animate pixels. I really like top-down environments, tilesets and limited palettes.

A top-down view of a cathedral-like structure, with many columns. At the very center, a giant baldachin, firmly standing on twisted columns. The altarpiece is mounted in a rich baroque frame, surmounted by stained glass rose window. A tall, bat-headed vampire is guarding the altar, with bats flying around. A richly adorned pipe organ can be seen to the eastern gallery. Along the transept in front of the absis, two enclosed naves host a Pietà statue and a reliquiary.
Many huge chandeliers hang above the central nave, and lots of candles are scattered around the cathedral. A few zombies and skeletons are marching towards the entrance, where a group of adventurers is preparing for battle, being surrounded.

To the side of the absis altar, downward staircases lead to the crypt. A huge skeletal dragon guards a closed gate. Many huge chandeliers hang above the central nave, and lots of candles are scattered around the cathedral.

Below the Cahedral, an underground Ossuary crypt, with walls made out of bones and skulls. An eerie light permeates the various locales, featuring grates, numerous walls of wax, monumental coffins and pillars. A Lich warlock is channeling dark magic by a sarcophagus.

The Tower above houses a giant bell. A faraway city can be seen from the terrace, as a Griffin guards the bell beam.

A secret room with four chandeliers features many tombs. There, a lady-like demon with bat wings floats above a marble coffin.

A topdown pixel art remake of Ruin Valley, from Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen. Many ancient structures can be seen emerging from the steep cliffsides and lush tropical vegetation: temples, tall palaces and mysterious pathways and towers. A moltitude of pokemon and trainers can be seen around. To the east, the ocean with tall waves and a jagged coastline. Water and fossil pokemon live there. At the center of the valley, the legendary pokemon trainer Red is entering the Dotted Hole ruins. Peculiar rock formation resembling regi pokemon are scattered throughout the environment.

A top down, aerial view of a city and its outskirts by a swampy river. The streets are filled with people, and the architecture has a distinctive early twentieth century aesthetic, with rich bent iron structures.

A collection of tiny pixel art pokemon scenes, featuring:
1. Chinchou swimming under the waves
2. Lanturn jumping above the waves at night
3. Corsola on the seafloor
4. Horsea in a cave underwater
5. Seadra in a kelp forest
6. Kingdra among whirlpools
7. Swinub at home, sleeping on a carpet
8. Piloswin taking a bath in hot springs
9. Mamoswine traversing a snowstorm
10. Cleffa hovering in space
11. Three Clefairy dancing at Mt. Moon Crater
12. Clefable in the middle of a pond, looking at the stars
13. Porygon in a strange labyrinth
14. Porygon2 running on a mobius strip
15. Porygon-Z floating in an old screensaver
16. Bonsly sitting on the porch as the rain starts to fall
17. Sudowood taking shelter from heavy rain in a mountain cave
18. Mew looking at the viewer through fish-eye lens
19. Sunkern floating in a summer meadow
20. Sunflora basking in the sunlight over a sunflower field
21. Celebi flying through Ilex Forest

#pixelart #украрт

A pixelart of a humanoid creature in a snowy landscape, with the upper body of a stern falcon, wings spread out and three pairs of arms with raptorial talons, some crossed over its body and some gesturing around floating, glowing balls of energy. There is a black band of short feathers around its waist, and below are its relatively unelegant human legs with a texture of rough clay

Commissioned by @ hiveshin (tumblr)

$Side-view of a shadowy figure with lanky limbs and black tangled hair, looking at the viewer with an ambiguous side-eye and crawling forward (viewer's left) while a chaotic stream of bloody hands erupts from the area of its mouth (and possibly throat) and reaches out, splitting in uneven fractals into more and more fingers and hands, some of which lean on the ground$ A figure, back to the viewer, standing in the moonlit field of grass with arms outstreched and their shining skin almost merging with the moon in the center of the picture. Below the waist the skin of the figure unravels into (or is not yet sewn from) blades of grass wrapping around the bones

Pixelart of the giant Mongolian Death Worm from Dandadan - an enormous earthworm "staring" at the viewer from among the ruins with its eye-like maw of human teeth, surrounded by a circle of tentacle/rays/eyelashes, radiating an aura/korona/iris of dazzling, nauseating yellow light

#pixelart

A showcase of three pixelart animations I made. Corsola vs. Overqwil, Archfiend of Ifnir and a special hit effect for the game I'm working on.

Eruka Frog from Soul Eater rendered in a manga-esque style that uses orange and light blue screen tones.
She is striking a superhero landing pose, holding her hat with her hand and supporting herself with the other. One of her tadpoles is wrapped around her outstreched arm.

A pixelart image of a giant manta ray descending from stormy clouds onto a city near the sea. Behind its head a pale moon glows. The ray itself is only a dark shape without much detail. It has a single rainbow-coloured eye that is emitting a rainbow-coloured beam into the sea. The top of the water is illuminated with the beam's purple light, forming sharp triangular waves.
The city's lights are glowing dimly and to the right side above it more manta rays with rainbow-coloured beams are visible in the distance.
A giant formation of roiling clouds fills up the left, right and lower center part of the picture. Eye-like shapes appear within them. A similar shape is also carved into the moon.
While most of the image uses traditional pixelart techniques, the rays' beams and the moon's glow use softer gradients and vfx effects.
The general colour palatte transitions from a greyish blue at the top to a bleak purple at the bottom.

Toxicroak is just about to land after falling or jumping. Its arms are raised above its head and its venomous claws are glowing purple, leaving a trail behind.
The image is very colourful and an additional purple texture covers parts of the Pokémon's body. The texture has holes and circles reminiscent of toxic bubbles.
The background is a stark purple with speedlines flowing through it.

A pixel art portrait illustration of a woman with red crystals growing on the right side of her face. She seems slightly annoyed, and has her eye near the crystals closed.

A chibi pixel art illustration with simple shading of a girl kneeling down, cradling a glowing and floating crystal. She has long unkempt blonde hair and has a gem of her own on her chest.

It's #PortfolioDay, and for once I'm available for commission work. 🥰

I'm Eden, a Dutch self-taught artist with a passion for comic style illustrations. I also have a non-narrative cosmic-horror world building project called #VoidState

You can ask me for more information in DMs ✌️

An illustration of Frankie sitting at a bus stop, while casually tapping into the power from the power generator to charge her phone. In the background, there's a silhouette of giant teeth looming over her and the stop.

A hand with green fingers reaching out for a stylished moon. The moon has elegant chains hung onto it and around the hand are some lovely flowers. The general atmosphere is kinda mystical

An illustration of an android looking figure. They have a helmet display as a face, with off-white decoration wrapping around it. They wear a baggy top, inspired by Tibetan wear, over it they wear an iridescent plastic looking dress. They have a dark, latex looking bottom with a display piece on their left leg, and their boots are highlighted with a hot pink.

Spider-Punk character leaping over a building, planting his hand on the edge of the structure to steer a bit and gently push himself into his next web swing. The background is vibrant with blues, yellows and orange suggesting it's during the golden hour of the day.

Thank you very much! :)

It took me a while to figure out how exactly I wanted to use dithering to communicate texture and shadow.
I can't take too much credit for the general composition though, since I stuck to the reference rather closely.

1-bit piece inspired by a picture and an (accidental) haiku by @kiln.bsky.social.

"I sometimes see them
Landing there. It's the only
Place I see them land."

A 1-bit pixelart image of a bird sitting in the middle of a river. Bits of trash swim in the water and leaves hang over it. The two colours used are a soft orange and purple.

That one PC98 game with the elf in it. You know... the one with the rude protagonist.

This random test I'm doing is getting out of hand. Game engine video footage in the works...
#pixelart #ドット絵 #pc98

A stereotypical elf, long ears and all, standing in a bordered frame mirroring that of the PC98 system. The dialogue options are rude.

Trying out a bit of a picture book style. Also, haven't drawn Eruka in a while. :)

#SoulEater

A picture book style illustration of Eruka Frog from Soul Eater. She is posing in front of an abstract background, holding one of her tadpoles. The rendering uses a mix of flat and shaded shapes.
