poo poo I only noticed I haven't posted any of my art itt this year?

Here's a few things from the summer. The game has been taking up so much of my time... Most of the pixelling I'm doing atm is like a single tile I realised I needed late or the side of a button or whatever, which is hard to show off

Those look really good, I really like the Lady and Shark.

Those are some really nice stuff. How long did that street scene take you?

the street scene is from my game, it's more of a screenshot of the tilemap than anything.
I honestly couldn't tell you how long it took though. grand majority of that tileset I did last year, I just finally got around to replacing the ugly buildings and adding shadow layers and trees sometime 2-3 months ago.

Looks good, looks lived in.

Been a while since I last did any pixel work that wasn't just fudging game assets slightly.

That looks cool.

Looking pretty good. You might as well try adding actual details and seeing how it looks. You can only go so far w/ blocking in!

I tried converting an old tileset I was making to Aseprite's tiled editor. I kinda wish I wanted to make a platformer, but, yeah. Whoops.

That looks pretty cool. Reminds me of Castlevania.

It's a Zelda 2 rip, though they're pretty similar

Ha. The sprite is maybe a Zelda 2 rip but the rest is original.

Never played Zelda 2. It's still cool.

I haven't done pixel art in a little while but I've just started getting back into it recently and decided to do some character animations that I think turned out really well

These are great, how long did it take you? What did you use?
