Everything has an end, and for the last day of #EmbervillePixelChallenge, it is the Self-Portrait, I took it literal, and tried my best to capture myself on a 32x32 pixel canvas using the Resurrect 64 palette.

And for Oct 2nd of #EmbervillePixelChallenge, the "Dream Class" was explained to be, what playable class we would want to see in the game Emberville. I made a Warrior subclass, the Runesmith, that uses hammers and runes for buff/debuffs.

For Sept 30th of #EmbervillePixelChallenge prompt "Kymia".

Kymia, which in the Emberville universe is still mostly unknown what it actually is, though what we know from game lore is something that can be interpretated as the games respawn mechanic, thus. A respawn loop.

For Sept 28th of #EmbervillePixelChallenge Embers are, according to my interpretation, the name of the community members of the Emberville discord (which are also called "Embers").

Thus, a bit of a character, but with a hell rider vibe
#PixelArt

For the 26th of Sept, Dusk, I made a little creature that would awake to illuminate the darkness, much like a firefly or will'-o'-the-wisp, yet a stone spirit. I also wanted to animate it, because I found it too cute!

Fanart cardgame concept for @emberville.bsky.social's Emberville. How to make a cardgame based on a dungeon crawler? As you use your weapon, you level it up.. making you hit more.. This is fan art, the game might not actually ever exist publicly. Spider is not fanart

#boardgame #fanart #pixelart 🎲✂️

you see a sword progression card set on the 2nd level - swords now hit for 2 dmg. You see a basic wooden sword with a default dmg of 1. You see a spider card that has 3 health, 1 dmg, and 1 shield. You also see that the player has defeated a spider and has the card flipped showing the loot (iron ingot).

I got my new PC, yay. But I also became Dad², so little to no time for PC. GG

My art designing has been on pause due to my workstation constantly crashing/BSOD, so i am in the process of building a new PC heavier than the old rig.

Living in the boardgame feed, looking at people gaming boardgames and posting of their gameplay. I am not at all jealous.

I have been going back and forth between vector/illustrated cards and pixel art cards. Cannot decide which way to settle with.

Im in the middle of designing a dwarven card deck of units, upgrades (attachments), knowledge (affecting whole deck), relics (better upgrades), and artifacts/wonders (affecting lands), land, and event cards, for my tcg/carddraft area control boardgame 🎲✂️

Graphics, im thinking.. Pixel art. 🤔
