A pixel art mockup featuring tiles I made for "Rotunda". A treasure room featuring golden a golden floor, doorway, pillars, and mounds of treasure are shown. The main protagonist, a faceless elf in a cloak stands in the center of the pathway. A pixel art rendition of Bulbasaur watering a Budew in a garden of flowers. A pixel art rendition of a magnemite sleeping in a field of vines and flowers. It is rusted, basking in the sun, with a happy expression. Forget-me-nots are growing in the corner.

This era of bluesky is perfect for making new mutuals, and growing alongside your peers in a collectively unfamiliar environment.

It cannot be overstated how much just supporting your peers matters at a time like this.

A digital fantasy illustration of a smiling fey-like woman sitting next to a round display window with dark wood frames, full of books and a potted plant with round white flowers on shelves. There are two books with visible titles, "Old Gods in Yivezheng" and "The Great Earth Eater". She has a warm green complexion with some moles on her face, big teal eyes looking at the camera and brown medium-lenght braids. Kelp-like horns grow from behind her head and between the horns there is a gold headdress shaped like a chrysanthemum. She wears big round gold earrings. The dress she is wearing is dark green with white rectangular collars and brown leather parts such as a corset and cuffs. There are gold buttons on her puff sleeves. She is holding a big nondescript open book with one hand and her other hand is close to her face. The background is dark brown with different warm color tones. There are paper triangle flags hanging behind her but in front of the bookstore. End ID. A red-black monochrome digital illustration of a portrait-size feminine character with long wavy hair and striking red eyes, looking at the camera while smiling softly. They have horns made up of hair, an earring with a ribcage, a choker and a frilly top. They have one hand up, holding a stylized heart-shaped scissor with little horns portruding while their hand is dripping in blood. Behind the character's head, there's a big anatomical heart drawn in hatches and a textured circle in the background. Overall, the background is black and colors used for details are intense red. End ID. A digital half-body artwork of two pale masculine characters holding each other, almost kissing with blood on their lips. The character on the left wears a dark brown shirt with black pants; has a stylized burn scar on their face and they seem to miss an eye. They have wolfcut-style dark gray hair, entangled with their partner's hand. The character on the right has a white semi-open shirt decorated with a green corset; scars on their angular nose and ear. They have a high braid ponytail with blonde hair and shaved sides. Both of them look slightly disheveled and lean closely to each other to kiss. The background is almost white, decorated with white lilies sprouting from the bottom. There are cut open pomegranates upper left corner, with stylized seeds or droplets dripping from above.

#PortfolioDay - and a little pitch, may I?
I am Alessandro, an italian artist with 15+ years experience in pixels, a penchant for tilesets, top-down view, monsters and adventures!

I left my main occupation in movie art dept (set design) in late 2023 to pursue full-time #pixelart.
Ch-ch-ch-changes!
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 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 An animated top down pixel art diorama of a Haunted Mansion main hall. The gothic architecture is the perfect playground for the many ghost pokemon inhabiting the abandoned house. Right in the middle of the foyer, a megaevolved Chandelure welcomes unfortunate visitors with its blue flames flickering gently as the moonlight seeps through a hole in the roof, lighting the ruined pavement in a cold light. A solitary mimikyu joins the foyer, dragging its disguise across the western wing passage. A duskull levitates below the balcony, disappearing through rich, old and dusty drapes. The East Wing corridor is blocked by Gourgeis and Pumpkaboo, with their dim, warm lanterns mimicking the many candles and chandeliers scattered around the mansion. Could they be the very ones lighting them up? The monumental staircase leads to the first floor, were the balcony oversees the whole entrance room, forming a U-shape. To the left, leading to the western wing first floor, a Lampent shines atop an archway. To the East, a Dusclops waits in the shadows. At the very center of the balcony, Gengar is doing all kinds of silly faces, laughing at the viewer, right before disappearing. A litwick has found its nest in a small alcove by the two-story wooden doorway arch. Onboth sides of the doorway, many paintings with rich frames are hung. To the left, a Mismagius is showcasing its psychic powers to Misdreavus by taking control of a huge painting of Agatha, the famous elite 4. The shaking painting's eyes shine briefly in an ominous light. On the second story of the archway a Dusknoir briefly appears. An Ariados can be seen coming down its web through the gothic archs. Under the dark roof atop the whole scene, Haunter and Gastly are playing hide and seek. A huge hole in the roof lets the moonlight rays enter the Hall. Through the very same opening, zubats and a drifloon can be seen flying. A top down pixel art of the Going Merry Ship from One Piece, sailing calmly through the waves. The Strawhat jolly roger waves gently at the very top of the mainmast. A Palestine flag waves atop the rear mast, where a red, white and green sail is also found right below. Many green, red, white and black triangular flags are tied to the ropes all around. The crew can be spotted all around: Sanji is looking at a watermelon crate, possibly thinking of new recipes. Tony Tony Chopper is strolling happily down the staircase in the deck. Zoro is taking a nap at the bottom of the main mast. Nico Robin is relaxed, leaning on the main central deck railing and watching the waves, with a book by her side. Nami is looking towards the horizon from the bow deck where Usopp can be found as well, busy with ship's reparations. Luffy is sitting atop the sheep figurehead, with his arms stretched, hugging the giant watermelon he is enthusiastically eating.

Hey hey #PortfolioDay! I'm Sam, the #pixelart specialist and #gamedev behind my #rpg known as #Moonshell_Island! I'm pretty busy rebuilding the project as I learn programming in #gamemaker, but may be open to pixel art work in the future.

wishlist: s.team/a/1629660
Moonshell Island scene of a group of NPCs gathered inside a community hall decorated with string lights for New Years Moonshell Island's protagonist Sam (a young purple haired girl) talking to Douglas (a large beaver guy) in a verdant lakeside area near his carpentry shack. Douglas: Sounds like you've got something radical in mind... Lay it on me, bud! Sam: I'm rebuilding this game from scratch! [unselected dialogue option]: Where's the self-destruct button on this thing? Aseprite update trailer scene of a vibrant platformer with mountains and swirly trees, a bunny protagonist, and a giant carrot in the ground. A Halloween themed platformer scene of a bunny girl wearing a ghost costume in a misty graveyard set against a full moon, gnarly trees, and large pumpkins with flirty faces carved into them. A tombstone in the foreground reads "RIP October".

Trying out a new commission style where I draw people's OCs + Pokemon / other characters they want.

Hoping to improve my sprite work this way!

Giratina Ø
The spark of creation laying dormant for aeons has now been rekindled. Although this form appears unstable, it is born out of perfect balance between spontaneous matter creation and annihilation. Within its reality-defying core lie infinite possible worlds, none destined to come true.
An artwork of a fan-made form of the pokemon Giratina. The form, called Giratina Ø or Giratina Null ("Ø" is the mathematic symbol for null sign, denoting an empty set) showcase a strange, hollowed body similar to a chrysalis exuvia. Its head features the characteristic Giratina eyes, with the red markings radiating from the iris in a pitch-black face. These eyes light is a lot stronger, creating an horizontal flare that splits the pokemon gaze. Its golden helm and mandible structure has changed a bit, becoming much larger; the crown now splits at the top in two horns, creating what looks like one half of Arceus' circle. A few red gemstones have appeared on the whole structure. Notably, surmounting the whole head, a pitch-black halo in the shape of a trilobed crescent moon levitates. Inside the "shell" exterior, a second membrane, split open, houses an inner white, luminous core shaped like Arceus body and head, features concentric circles resembling an eye. Around the central part of the body, surrounding the fissure, a set of 8 red, spiked claws are bent inwards. From the lower part of its body, coming out of the inner membrane, a set of six glass-like swimming flaps with shimmering red claws. On its back, six pitch-like tentacles stem from six circles on the pokemon back. At the extremity of each tentacle, a golden pin-like claw can be found, with its tip glowing in the same red energy as the back circles. Behind these pins base, attached to the tentacle, the pitch substance forms a tear-like bulb, almost like a propeller.
