I am happy to present to you all... a cute video transition between my old Athena scene, made with pure pixel art, and the remastered version with 3D assets! Complete with voicelines from the raid and sound effects ^^

Which version do you prefer? #pixelart #hd2d #3d #ffxiv 🦋

Here's the sketch in question! Anyways, best of luck on your world domination Nosfery! Please give me a good chill role in your world order - or at least spare me the physical slavery...!

Here's a clip of last night's debut for charming vampire VTuber, @nosferyvt.bsky.social , where she shared a pixel art animation I did for her! She had a strong vision for it, as shown in a detailed sketch she gave me (it's in my next post)!

She is super awesome, so check her out! #pixelart 🧛‍♀️

The fact I'm exploring the world of 3D doesn't mean I'm leaving my 2D, pixel art roots behind... in fact, both can be combined! Here's a silly 3D version of my socials banner.

I am also planning to remaster a certain pixel scene with 3D assets+effects soon! #pixelart #3d #blender😼

Well, this was MANY days of work, but I'm pretty happy with the result, and it was great practice!

Once I am more confident with the workflow of creating and animating low-poly models, I'll offer them for comms when I open. More things coming though, so stay tuned! :D

Time for a BIG REVEAL - not only have I finished the couple low-poly 3D models I was working on, I have animated them into a scene!

Here's Fellini and Migas, a couple of silly voidsent who have been given the Mini status effect! WIPs and extra meme at the end! #ffxiv #3d 😈😼

If I have been away for a time again... it's only because I've been doing some more low-poly stuff, though this time in a smaller, more manageable style!

This is a test proto-chibi Ramen, in a style reminiscent of FF IX! More is coming! :D #blender #3d #3dmodeling 🖥️🔵

I recently attended a Bomb Rush Cyberfunk online party with my Ramen model, and it was a blast! I managed to record some very cool clips with retro filters like this ^^. Shootout to the game's community, it's full of awesome folks! 🎉🎊

Beta-ish sprites of two original characters I've designed for my Pokémon fan project - Sharpy and Camelia! They are none other than the young heirs to Team Aqua and Team Magma...

I'm also working on thematic bedrooms for them, as well as back sprites - sharing more soon! #pokemon #pixelart 💧🔥

Thank you, glad you like it - it'll be the first of many, and hopefully some are requested! ^^

A snap of the model + UV map in Blender, an alternate version of him with a TV head (you know I love CRT displays, so I had to do this) and finally him chilling in one of the ingame rooftops!

It's time for the big reveal today... I am in a journey to learn 3D modelling, so I can add low-poly models to my range of commission options! Here's what I made so far - a 3D vesion of my brand OC Ramen!

Also included it as a mod for the game Bomb Rush Cyberfunk! More in comments📺⬜️ #3d #lowpoly

I know I've been rather quiet lately, so here's a juicy sneap peek into my latest endeavors... who's that handsome chap in 3D...? Full reveal soon! :D #3d #model 😎

WIP-ish versions of another 2 of my wacky "Safemon", the regional variant of my personal Pokémon-themed project. They're Substitute Mimikyu and Monitor Rotom, complete with overworld and party sprites!

Way more harmless than their original counterparts! 📺#pixelart #pokemon

To celebrate the release of FF Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, I'm sharing this collage I made with my recent Tactics-inspired pixel art pieces!

Sadly I'll be on commission hiatus for some more time, but I will return, so please look forward to it! #pixelart #ivalicechronicles ⚔️

I made some "alternate versions" of Pokémon trainer sprites! These are for a "Cosplayer" trainer class, for which I edited the Emerald Aroma Lady and FR/LG Pokemaniac sprites.

Included the classic "censored version" Game Freak liked to do, just as an extra fun touch! #pixelart #pokemon👰‍♀️🐲

After much tweaking, I turned Pokemon Emerald's Game Corner into a shady, ran-down arcade! Has new tiles like graffiti and a 'retro' area with Nintendo consoles. Here's both for comparison - mapping is quite fun!

Would you attend this fine establishment? 🎮👾 #pokemon #pixelart

Presenting some original+edited sprites of "Safemon", the regional variant of my Pokémon fan project. They are Shiitake Shroomish, Restrained Poochyena, Robo Machop, and Beach Ball Drifloon!

In a dystopian world, Pokémon are made harmless to protect humans... #pixelart #pokemon 🍃

Custom trainer sprites for my Pokémon fan project! Most are a visual parody of existing trainer classes in Pokémon Emerald - can you guess which? :P

These are the Orphan, the Scavenger, the Veteran and the Hermit classes! #pixelart #pokemon 🤕

Breaking the week-long silence to share a modest update on my personal Pokémon fan project ^^ a battle sequence with brand-new sprites! The player character faces off against one of the first trainers in their journey, Orphan Joel.

More soon! #pixelart #pokemon ✨👾

Here's my latest pixel scene, an experimental one in which I use some 3D assets and heavy filtering for extra depth, nostalgia and dreaminess ^^ what do you think!? Oh, and these 2 friends are in a magic bookshop! 🧙

Coming soon, art updates on my Pokémon fan project! #pixelart

Presenting, to the left, a FF Tactics-style sprite rendition of the character from my last portrait - and to the right, a cute catgirl companion with whom he'll be starring in an animated scene pretty soon! ^^ #pixelart 🧙

A portrait I've drawn with a slightly darker palette, and a retro-er style than my usual - and of one of my FF XIV characters!

He will be featured in a scene I'll share soon ^^ #pixelart #ffxiv

Several revisions of the last sprite commission I had pending before my break ^^. I will add animation to this charming fox girl upon my return! #pixelart 🦊
