I finished up the diagonal-left and diagonal-right sprites up tonight, too. :)
I'm relieved with how smoothly this went. :D

Hmm... You know, after getting to work with some of the folks we did on Claire a la Mode, there's not a whole lot left on my "Game Developer Bucket List". I guess "Make a Successful Game" is still unchecked? Ah well, we'll see what happens with that.

I missed #PortfolioDay 😅
I used to just do pixel art, but now I'm doing that, plus pre-rendered backgrounds for my next game.

Vernal and Alstroemerida from @hymynameismatt.bsky.social and his team's game Vernal Edge.
Played it over the Christmas and had the idea for the two "sisters" in one very soon after beating it.

Compass Cards process thread 1/?. I always like to start out with a mood board. Season 0 set in the top right, and inspiration around that to be my “true north” when I get lost designing ⭐️ My goal is to make exciting new cards while still maintaining the pixel art vibes

I think the thing that's damaged my perception of reality more than any other is that the same loudness of outrage is leveled against somebody drawing a character off-model or saying something mean on the internet as there is for, like, murder or governmental corruption.

reintroduction post since my twitter days are ogre:
I'm Dreamin', I'm an artist and I wear my feelings and thoughts on my sleeve at all times, possibly to a fault
I have some background in animation but I just enjoy drawing whatever I feel like. no generative stuff here, ever
