Tried to emulate @artofsully.bsky.social's work since their character work is awesome and I've been meaning to give it a try for a while. Also a big Kiki's Delivery Service lover 🧹

Was really stumped on this one and my partner suggested the fool, so I made a 3D tarot card!

Inktober Day 6 - Pierce

Needed to do some art for my D&D character who is basically just Mileena in terms of aesthetic. She's a love letter to all of Mortal Kombat though :D Lots of references and nods to the whole roster.

Inktober Day 3 - Crown

Tried to emulate the work of Lettier over on Twitter with a funny lil triangle brush and painted normals. Want to do some more attempts because it seems some of it can be done procedurally (and also being better at painting haha)

Baked using a sculpt! Deforming him was weird bc he's a lil ball so once I rigged and shifted him it needed a bit of touch up after the fact to make sure the topology wasn't wrecked from my ✨wonderful rigging job✨

Still doin' my dailies, just been doing a lot of silhouette thumbnails for a character in a D&D campaign I'm prepping!

This is the bigger half of a "big guy little guy" duo named Sticks & Stones. Have a favorite iteration?

Let's go #portfolioday over here on B.Sky! 😀

I'm Tyler, I work in pixel art, 3D, and illustration. I also animate but B.Sky has yet to let me upload a bunch of animations into one post 😅

Always looking for new opportunities to help make your stuff cool!

Hello I'm sticking true(ish) to my resolution and spent the past few days on this hand yippee ✌️

Though I still think I wanna at least make something every day rather than puzzle piece a thing together over multiple days.. hm

Resolutions are hard 🤔

Gave redstone as a stick of crystalline chalk a try~ The only ones that felt okay-ish in game were the bottom right 3. The others I feel look fine but compared to other sprites feel like a bit too much of a deviation.
