Some dino (and a pterosaur, I know) portraits for a trading card game set in their native habitat of ancient egypt (?) featuring a female paleontologist of color.
The game code is done, now it’s content creation time!
60x60px each, gameboy 4-gray palette.

Battles in the game are non-violent roaring contests. Dinos are have a Roar stat and an Allegiance badge. If two dinos are of different allegiance, highest roar persuades the enemy dino to stand down. If two dinos are of the same allegiance, lowest (most gentle) roar persuades the enemy dino to stand down.

What do y’all think so far?

A mockup I did for the amazing Anna Marsh of Ladyshotgun for a Bollywood dancing game. Wish it had got approved by the publisher. Imagine playing this…

Steampunk Sherlock

I’m terribly geeky. To the point where I do pixelart, pixel by pixel, which to some people feels really masochistic. I find the restrictions help my creativity.

This is a mockup for an SNES-era game. An alternative take on the brilliant detective. An English, steampunk-enhanced super intelligent man of action. Too sarcastic and self-absorbed for his own good, he jumps from rooftop to rooftop to catch criminals for cash. Yes I know he’s not caucasian, it is on purpose, since there’s so few black videogame characters that aren’t horrible stereotypes.

20 colors.

Tumblr resizes pixelart, but you can see the original here, in all its tiny pixel glory.
