Oh hey! I've reached 1 500 followers on Bluesky!!!🎉

I haven't been the best at acknowledging these milestones so let me say right now, thank you all so much for sticking around and viewing my art. It means a lot to have a space where I can showcase my abilities to a wider audience.

Thank you all!

A set of structures and a rock formation that spell out "1.5k" on a beach. The structures are surrounded by palm trees and shrubbery.

Pixel Art featuring Abuni, a mix of a bunny and a taur creature, bunnytaur if you will. She's shown both staring curiously at the side and landing from a jump with a scared expression.

Pixel Art featuring Abuni running while carrying the Asexual flag, with a happy expression.

Pixel Art featuring Abuni jumping a tiny bit while wearing the trans flag as a cape, with the flag being shown clearly from the wind. Abuni is also raising her fist with a happy expression as usual.

Pixel Art featuring Abuni galloping with a serious expression, with one arm extended to the side.

Hey #portfolioday
I've been a professional illustrator for 25 years, and a professional game artist and animator for 16. There's nothing I can't do in high-res 2D and pixelart. Hire me!

a bunch of pixelart tarot. some are referencing real tarot cards, some are original, all are referencing Pamela Colman Smith's incredible illustrations for the Rider-Waite tarot edition.

a bunch of units I character designed and animated for the upcoming tactics game Australia Did It. Isometric perspective, two views of each.

Fanart of what the TMNT "mutant mayhem" movie might look like as a point-and-click adventure game. Stayed faithful to the style and art direction, but switched the medium to pixelart. Just because I can :)

I made a tool that makes retro anime sound effects. Meet AnimeVox!
I made it for a game, but it's free to use.

I'm using the forgotten (but popular in 80s japan) Schroeder reverb algo, and some wobble.

If you find it useful consider supporting me on itch :)

castpixel.itch.io/animevox

the anime sfx-making tool!
It's called ANIMEVOX, in big letters up top.
Then there's the controls:

In vertical pairs:
Left:
Pitch Rise
Rise speed

Reverb
Room size

On the right:
Wobble Speed
Wobble Amount

Tone Brightness
Volume

Next is a row of keys:
Randomize - randomizes the sound parameters
UNDO/ REDO - go back to parameters you liked
Export Wav - self explanatory, it saves a copy of the latest sound to your hard drive.

Then the fun buttons, with cute art styles:

IMPACT, sparkle, beam, powerUP, PON, BOOM, slash, woosh

Each produces a preset sound, which then goes through the fx chain.

Hope you enjoy it!

Hi my name is Eduardo, I'm from America and I do freelance #pixelart.

Hope I ain't too late for #PortfolioDay, I could do with some new stuff to work on. I'm good with animation, environmental art, characters, you name it. Very flexible with different styles.

Various nautical themed monsters and dragons, made on my own time. These were done to practice working in a limited color palette.

Drawings of three bat monsters from Sean Young's game Monsterpatch.

A massive pixel drawing of Cthulhu sitting cross legged. I drew this to see what was the biggest pixel art I could make in a week.

#PortfolioDay - and a little pitch, may I?
I am Alessandro, an italian artist with 15+ years experience in pixels, a penchant for tilesets, top-down view, monsters and adventures!

I left my main occupation in movie art dept (set design) in late 2023 to pursue full-time #pixelart.
Ch-ch-ch-changes!

A topdown pixel art remake of Ruin Valley, from Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen. Many ancient structures can be seen emerging from the steep cliffsides and lush tropical vegetation: temples, tall palaces and mysterious pathways and towers. A moltitude of pokemon and trainers can be seen around. To the east, the ocean with tall waves and a jagged coastline. Water and fossil pokemon live there. At the center of the valley, the legendary pokemon trainer Red is entering the Dotted Hole ruins. Peculiar rock formation resembling regi pokemon are scattered throughout the environment.

A collection of tiny pixel art pokemon scenes, featuring:
1. Chinchou swimming under the waves
2. Lanturn jumping above the waves at night
3. Corsola on the seafloor
4. Horsea in a cave underwater
5. Seadra in a kelp forest
6. Kingdra among whirlpools
7. Swinub at home, sleeping on a carpet
8. Piloswin taking a bath in hot springs
9. Mamoswine traversing a snowstorm
10. Cleffa hovering in space
11. Three Clefairy dancing at Mt. Moon Crater
12. Clefable in the middle of a pond, looking at the stars
13. Porygon in a strange labyrinth
14. Porygon2 running on a mobius strip
15. Porygon-Z floating in an old screensaver
16. Bonsly sitting on the porch as the rain starts to fall
17. Sudowood taking shelter from heavy rain in a mountain cave
18. Mew looking at the viewer through fish-eye lens
19. Sunkern floating in a summer meadow
20. Sunflora basking in the sunlight over a sunflower field
21. Celebi flying through Ilex Forest

An animated top down pixel art diorama of a Haunted Mansion main hall. The gothic architecture is the perfect playground for the many ghost pokemon inhabiting the abandoned house. Right in the middle of the foyer, a megaevolved Chandelure welcomes unfortunate visitors with its blue flames flickering gently as the moonlight seeps through a hole in the roof, lighting the ruined pavement in a cold light. A solitary mimikyu joins the foyer, dragging its disguise across the western wing passage. A duskull levitates below the balcony, disappearing through rich, old and dusty drapes. The East Wing corridor is blocked by Gourgeis and Pumpkaboo, with their dim, warm lanterns mimicking the many candles and chandeliers scattered around the mansion. Could they be the very ones lighting them up?
The monumental staircase leads to the first floor, were the balcony oversees the whole entrance room, forming a U-shape. To the left, leading to the western wing first floor, a Lampent shines atop an archway. To the East, a Dusclops waits in the shadows. At the very center of the balcony, Gengar is doing all kinds of silly faces, laughing at the viewer, right before disappearing. A litwick has found its nest in a small alcove by the two-story wooden doorway arch. Onboth sides of the doorway, many paintings with rich frames are hung. To the left, a Mismagius is showcasing its psychic powers to Misdreavus by taking control of a huge painting of Agatha, the famous elite 4. The shaking painting's eyes shine briefly in an ominous light. On the second story of the archway a Dusknoir briefly appears. An Ariados can be seen coming down its web through the gothic archs. Under the dark roof atop the whole scene, Haunter and Gastly are playing hide and seek. A huge hole in the roof lets the moonlight rays enter the Hall. Through the very same opening, zubats and a drifloon can be seen flying.

A top down pixel art of the Going Merry Ship from One Piece, sailing calmly through the waves. The Strawhat jolly roger waves gently at the very top of the mainmast. A Palestine flag waves atop the rear mast, where a red, white and green sail is also found right below. Many green, red, white and black triangular flags are tied to the ropes all around.
The crew can be spotted all around: Sanji is looking at a watermelon crate, possibly thinking of new recipes. Tony Tony Chopper is strolling happily down the staircase in the deck. Zoro is taking a nap at the bottom of the main mast. Nico Robin is relaxed, leaning on the main central deck railing and watching the waves, with a book by her side. Nami is looking towards the horizon from the bow deck where Usopp can be found as well, busy with ship's reparations. Luffy is sitting atop the sheep figurehead, with his arms stretched, hugging the giant watermelon he is enthusiastically eating.

This is a poster of 50 different Bowser drawn in 50 different pixelart art styles such as but not limited to Bubble Bobble, Undertale, Earthworm Jim, Simpsons Arcade Game, Sonic The Hedgehog 3, etc

Daisy from Super Mario Bros done in pixelart, she has dark skin, and a thicc thighs. She is winking at the viewer while stretching. There is a volley ball and she is in the desert.

A unimpressed woman wearing short shorts and a rainbow tank top and a loose cardigan. She has thick thighs, a gothic starbucks looking cup with a straw. She is placed in a sketchy grassy land with some bushes and tree.

get past the idea of perfection.

every artist you know and love is constantly learning and thereby constantly improving.

perfectionism will kill your creativity.

you gotta make stuff that looks bad before you can make stuff that looks good.
