Hi #PortfolioDay ! I’m a pixel artist who loves making things that are cute, odd, and packed with nostalgic video game energy. I focus on strong, readable styles, and getting the most impact out of every pixel.

I am currently looking for pixel art + animation work for video games.
DMs open!

Ok we have liftoff! (Still have to tweak the controls a lot, and wait for more parts before putting it together properly)

OK I re-wrote my battle system from the ground up AGAIN, but this time.... this is the ONE!
BEHOLD IT.

My only problem with this is I can only ❤️ it once!

Absolutely dripping with style. Love it!

Now here's a great idea!

PrettyStrange @prettystrange.bsky.social · 1d

I honestly didn't think consoles sold enough anymore to be profitable enough to even consider making a new generation of them

Hi! I’m opening PixelArt PNGTuber commissions! 👾
I need to cover some expenses, so this time only they’ll be 25% off until October 15th or until all slots are filled.
I’d really appreciate it if you could help by reposting
Thanks! ( ^-^)/

It looks amazing so far! I hope you don't have many frames to animate because that does indeed look like it might be a chore 😅

PrettyStrange @prettystrange.bsky.social · 11d

Aha. Concerns about a new owner
Makes sense to me, but I suppose we'll find out 😄

Hopefully they dont decide to stop development, remove access to downloads/licenses, and effectively disappear from the community leaving users who depended on it without support

There are always backups though

PrettyStrange @prettystrange.bsky.social · 11d

It reads as though there is a new major release coming October 30th. Not sure why you'd think it is "toast" 🤷. Not a fan of things changing maybe?

PrettyStrange @prettystrange.bsky.social · 25d

Sort of ironic that Sony gave it that name and then gave up on it, but it refuses to die. I never liked the name "Vita" before, but seeing it persevere without official support makes it all make sense

PrettyStrange @prettystrange.bsky.social · 25d

Screen-door effect is a beautiful thing

PrettyStrange @prettystrange.bsky.social · 27d

Yay finally!

PrettyStrange @prettystrange.bsky.social · Sep 15

Wow, those colors!!

Overworld menus are almost done. ITEM use, transfer and discard are done. What's left: STATUS formation, EQUIP and SEARCH. Then we're finally moving on to the BATTLE LOOP! ⚔️🐉

Just make it exist first!

Speaking of... Myself and a couple friends are making a new Dragon Warrior inspired NES JRPG exist! Check it out: sebotron.itch.io/the-book-of-...

Possibly something else at fault here. I run Firefox + Ublock Origin on desktop and Librewolf + Ublock Origin on laptop. I have never experienced this issue on either machine

Sounds interesting!

Try ShaderGlass if youd like to play around with other CRT fliters for your art. There are many built-in and they're super configurable

Bit of a different style, but a fun one regardless

Made some good progress on the battle loop. Also integrated new monsters, designed by @prettystrange.bsky.social! Do these look bad ass or what? #nesdev #jrpg #dragonquest #thebookofrynn

Sounds like every social media platform, really. Thankfully bsky has great self-moderation tools to keep you in control of what you see
