x.com/tranquil_dev... I'm not really on X because of how artists are treated there, but since most of the indie dev community is still around, I wanted to share a bit of what this amazing person has done—and that they mentioned me!😁 #pixelart #indiedev #gameart #indiegame

Oops, sorry about the confusion, but that's not actually me. That's the incredible WizardShrimpGames! I'm on the team as the pixel artist, handling the visuals😅

I started sharing my work little by little, got some amazing projects that keep me going.
But I’ve been so focused on work, I stopped posting.
Sometimes I fear that being inactive makes it harder to be seen again.
If you’ve felt this too, I’d love to hear your advice. 💬 #pixelartist #digitalartist

Tried to keep it calm and comfy, what do you think?

Hey! I’m one of those people who came out of nowhere 😅
It’s honestly wild how naturally and quickly people interact here!
Just a couple days on Bluesky and it already feels warmer — no bots, no cryptobros, just chill vibes.
Really glad to see artists like you around. Great work! 🐰

Playing with selection menu ideas —
detailed one, a radial wheel, and a clean simple one.
Which one fits your game style?

Working on some pixel art items for a survival game.
Started normal: pickaxe, shovel, hammer.
Then I looked around the house and thought: what could I actually bring to survive?
Turns out… I found some really useful stuff.
Kinda surprised by myself, not gonna lie. 😂👇 #pixelart #gamedev #Ui #gameart

Hey! Thanks for the clarification—I'll check out the post. Honestly, I'd never heard of it being an insult, but since Japanese isn’t my first language, I was really curious (and a bit embarrassed to be honest😅).

Thanks for the heads-up! I really appreciate you pointing that out—I didn’t realize “chibi” could come across that way in Japanese. I meant it in the cute art style sense.
If you don’t mind me asking, what’s the most natural way to say “chibi-style” in Japanese? I’d like to update my post 😊

Elemental Series:
I wanted them to feel like part of nature, but also playful—so I gave them hands and feet.
