Happy #portfolioday!

I'm Aria: pixel artist, animator, and fighting game enjoyer. An expert at subpixel animation, I specialize in larger sprites with consistent forms and anatomy!

Not currently looking for work, just getting my portfolio out there. Full portfolio at the info link in my bio ^^

having played mgs2 recently I have to say the people who misinterpret the Patriots' intentions are so funny. like yes the internet IS full of sludge but no we absolutely should not under any circumstance be supportive of an antagonistic robot who basically calls jack slurs curating our data for us.

since it's been a minute since gqux ended and I'm not worried about spoiling anyone: isn't it fucked up that amuro was in there the whole time like how did he get in there? who put him in there.

late night bill doodle because you all seemed to like my work on him in the game :D

#art #digitalart #fanart
digital monochrome fanart of the character Beta Ray Bill as he appears in Marvel Cosmic Invasion. He is a man with a half-skeletal, somewhat mummified looking horse head and snarling expression. His sunken eyes, pure white with lines all around them, give his appearance a bestial affect despite his noble and good-hearted nature. Though he may look a bit different to the ones we have on earth, he's still a hero!

kinda fucked up that we upgraded from 1 flu to 2 and the second one is year-round and kills people more and also changes what it does all the time and can do permanent damage to your organs and can leave you with a Long version and

man.

man. still surreal that you can find me in the credits of a published game that is available for sale. and not as a footnote, but a whole animator. thanks to everyone who's sent kind words lately, and a massive shoutout to the wonderful team at tribute games who were a delight to work for ❤️

experimented with a comic like format
The Warden and Ace from Star of Providence engaging in a conversation based on the meme of "tech guy in movies" Warden: Ace!! The Ship is hacking the mainframe!! Ace: In English, wizard nerd. Warden: **THEY FUCKIN OUR PUSSIES** Ace: Now you're speaking my language.

idk what it is about gundam 0079 specifically but it managed to make all of its sci fi jargon immediately more understandable than any other series I've tried to watch. I don't know if that's my fault for not paying attention to the other shows, but it was an easy watch start to finish in that sense

Is it bad form to say every artist should be allowed to post their donation links for Giving Tuesday?

Oh well, whatever - every artist should be allowed to post their donation links on Giving Tuesday.

since I don't have any time or energy to refine this, take the concept doodle I drew of my sona! she's a slime and she smells like cherries. her clothes are also part of her body.

#art #digitalart #oc
digital doodle of a red and grey slimegirl with a very bashful expression. she stands wearing a long, dress-like turtleneck and thigh-highs, hands wrung together, staring at the viewer. Her body is translucent, so it's possible to see a bit of her half-obscured eye behind her gelatinous hair. While she is primarily red, her dark grey parts gradate smoothly from the red to create a bit of color diversity across her body.

feeling incredibly bad so it's tine to open up my folder of all the adriana art I've received this year and remind myself that people do indeed like my characters and that it's okay to take a break when I'm busy and tired

hiii what if you all drew Adriana 🥺
standing fullbody sketch of a catgirl. she has one hand up, possibly miming "hi!" or, possibly, in a finger gun pose "Draw THIS in your style!" with a bashful little pleading emoji

holidays are always a bit miserable for me since more often than not I'm alone for them, but today is especially bad since I've been working all day, got misgendered a bunch online, and then took a depression nap. now I have to get up to feed myself cuz i don't have much food in house 🫠

with regard to game design please consult the objective chart
digital sketch of a generic looking smarmy guy gesturing to a chart behind him. the chart is a bar graph where the side axis is labeled "good level" and the two bars are "Game I Like" versus "Game You Like" The former has a score of 36 on an arbitrary scale and the latter has a score of -5, drawn below the horizontal axis.

I have been CRAZY busy lately but I finally got a little time recently to do some personal art, so here's another iteration on Fortuna.

Right side was an initial sketch to figure out vibes, Left is a refinement on the ideas using the symmetry tool.
#art #digitalart #oc
Two side-by-side digital sketches of a giant mecha, the first being a refined one that's mirrored down the middle, and the second being a much more freeform one that shows humanlike gesture. Both use a classic gundam Red/White/Blue/Yellow/Black color scheme, with slightly desaturated reds and blues. Overall the robot has a very standard giant robot silhouette, just drawn to my particular tastes in mechanical design.
