The time is upon us once again indie gamers..time for #SteamNextFest !! 🥳

I'll be streaming a few demos most nights this week, and as usual we'll be doing some LONG demo streams this weekend..

Indie devs - if you've got a featured demo, share it here to boost, and maybe we'll play it on stream! 👀

no stream today cause I got eepy 🥺 but I was totally planning to though 🥺 (streaming tomorrow FOR SURE) (heres some sleepy doodles)

a series of 1bit pixel art doodles using a beige background and a saturated green. On the top left is a chibi / mini illustration of myself, with pleading eyes, and two fingers pointed toward each other. The two black blobs under this chibi doodle of myself are some tadpole creatures, with a fish lantern antenna on their head. At the lower right is an unfinished portrait of myself with a neutral expression.

made two portraits of my 2 newest OCs. Needed a break from using limited palettes 🤤 (no names yet)

2 pixel art portraits of my OCs. The character on the left (no name yet) is a dark-skinned woman with thick dreads. Both of the front dreads are hanging on the side, and the two dreads at the far back are shaped to look like a bow. They're wearing a white top. The character on the right (no name yet) is a fair-skinned, cool toned character based on a tadpole. They have frog-like eyes, white eyelashes, and white hair with bluish-green undertones. They have 2 tadpole hairpins keepign their hair intact, and a green mesh top.

Little Ocean 🌊

#pixelart #referencesheet

A pixel art character sheet for my character "Little Ocean" (I don't have a real name for them yet) This artwork is limited to a 4-color bluish-tint palette. The main poses are the front and back pose, and the portraits on the right have neutral (top) and judgy (bottom) facial expressions. In between the poses, there's a stuffed toy keychain known as a "fuggler" which inspired most of their design.
