aiden had a hard fall last night, as I've been talking on other media. thought it was at most a sprain on his paw, but it is a spiral fracture of his upper arm. we have access to a medical credit card to get him surgery for metal plates asap on tuesday, but will need to figure out a plan to pay off

Hi my name is Eduardo, I'm from America and I do freelance #pixelart.

Hope I ain't too late for #PortfolioDay, I could do with some new stuff to work on. I'm good with animation, environmental art, characters, you name it. Very flexible with different styles.

Various nautical themed monsters and dragons, made on my own time. These were done to practice working in a limited color palette.

Drawings of three bat monsters from Sean Young's game Monsterpatch.

A massive pixel drawing of Cthulhu sitting cross legged. I drew this to see what was the biggest pixel art I could make in a week.

A pixel art illustration of a blonde woman looking thoughtfully from the shadows of a sparkling gem like shell boat. She is lounging in the area inside, on cushions, rugs, and has a jar and cup at the ready. On the boat is a planted vase, with some vines growing on the side. The sea and sky outside are filled with glowing yellow starlight material, a dark sunset type area.

@therealhanamaru.bsky.social

Hello again #PortfolioDay!
I'm H, some sort of a freelance artist with a knack for cute girls art, mechanical design, big weapons, and everything in between. Can be a bit steampunk-y sometimes.

I do character designs, illustrations, and pin-up art.

Commission info: richter-h.carrd.co

Poster art of Ruby the Goblin riding a hoverbike, with her pet swine on top of her head wearing similar goggles as Ruby wears in this picture.

The hoverbike's design is based on a retrofuturistic concept, rather atompunk in design and a little bit heavy on the front. Large satchels strapped at the back seat of the hoverbike.

Concept design of Astraea, once a tiny defective clone transformed into a gargantuan android thanks to miraculous nanites that allowed her to absorb and assimilate battleships and space stations unto herself.

Her legs were omitted in the final design due to the nature of her assimilated form. Also, legs are just for shows anyway.

Depicted with plantes on her palms for scale.

Splash art of Maya, the sword spirit tainted in dark power. Depicted in splash art-like with visual effects at the front and in the background.

Shown from the round "shoulders" up and with the silhouette suggestion of old buildings, a factory and a church in the background

pixel art of a chocolate-coated ice cream bar on a wooden stick, perspective looking slightly down at it, a few bites taken off the top. Bright blue background, slight blue reflection off some edges of the chocolate. Signed "A-minus" in the lower right corner

pixel art drawing in 5-color gold palette, dark background, of Link from Zelda depicted as a woman, wearing the classic tunic and cap, with long flowing hair.
