So happy we were able to get Pietro to create the key artwork for Attack of the Astrals! I love his unique fantasy style that blends charm, physicality and a little weirdness, which was a perfect fit for our characters and setting. Definitely check out his artwork ❤️

Next, we'll be continuing to update visuals and gameplay, with a gameplay demo as a near future goal. If you have any feedback on the steam page please let me know as we'll be continuing to smooth out the rough edges too. And from now on I'll be sharing tons of stuff about the game, old and new 🤠

2 years ago I applied for Rob's small art job for a side project FFT autobattler. It transformed and is now our full time focus! The page is rough but we present an impression of the final game. Please wishlist if you're interested or share with peeps who might like it, thanks a ton 😁

seems like it's #PortfolioDay again, so let me highlight some #pixelart commissions and contract work i've done since last time around!

Pixel art illustration for one of the panels of the intro sequence of upcoming game Huedini. The image shows three 12-sided gems, colored blue, green and red. From their center, three multicolored light beams extend outward in different directions. The gems are displayed in front of a starry space background. At the edges of the background, blue, green and red nebulas appear, each matching the color of the nearest gem.

Pixel art sprites for a collection of units for the upcoming game Eldritch Tactics: Apocalypse Rising. On the top half of the screen, 10 monstrous units are displayed representing the eldritch attackers. On the bottom half, 8 human units are displayed, representing the human resistance.

Pixel art illustration of mana tokens for the upcoming game Torment Hexus, representing the elements Engram, Body, Unison and Cyber. The tokens are displayed against a dark gray checkerboard grid.

Pixel art mock-up of a "run and gun" style shooter game, where two player characters - stylized green and red robot soldiers labeled P1 and P2 - battle against bug-like robot enemies in an industrial environment. At the center of the screen, the head of a large mechanical insect labeled "Mecha Mantis" can be seen, being pelted by the shots of P2's Blaster. Mecha Mantis's body looms threateningly far into the background. P1 wields a laser sword labeled "Saber", and is mid-swing about to strike one of the minor drones assaulting the party.

The artwork of #Ravenloft: Strahd's Possession by Jun Suemi used on the cover of the #Fujitsu #FMTownsMarty release in Japan. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied.

my fave creature designs from a few months ago

Digital painting of a reptilian monster called "Goddess of Serene Shores". It's almost crocodilian in body-type, but with a longer torso, tail, and neck. Its head is similar to a carnivorous therapod, or traditional skull designs of dragons, and its throat sack can expand just a bit. There are sails/fins on its back, its underside, and along the ridges of its tail. Its coloration is greatly inspired by Mandarinfish, with ornate patterns of oranges, greens and blues.

Digital painting of a pterosaur-like beast called "Wyvern Of The Sea". Its head, neck and upper torso is mostly white, it has a long yellow bill with sharp tips similar to a snapping turtle, a crest on top of its top beak, and an expandable pouch on its throat, similar to a pelican. There is a voluminous pouch of expandable sac around its neck and chest, similar to a Frigatebird, but it seems more decorative than functional. Its lower torso is a black color, with strong bird legs, that have blue webbed feet, similar to the bird Booby. Its tail is long, with fins running on its side, and on its tips.

It has wings that are more webbed than they are feathered, with a protruding thumb similar to a bat's, and three noticeable digits that are flat than they are wiry. It seems this creature is more reptilian and hydrodynamic, than it is avian and capable of flight.

Digital painting of a reptilian monster called "Crimson Siren". The creature is a giant lizard with an expanding vocal sac similar to a frog, as well as a proboscis that's situated on its forehead, similar to an elephant seal's, and a pair of semi flat bull horns sitting atop its brow-bones. The creature has extremely long arms and legs that have dexterous digits and sharp claws, and it has a giant whip-like tail with a spiky end.

Its body is mostly black in coloration, its arms and half of its tail a mid-tone yellow. Its head and belly are a blaring red, with its expanding throat having peculiar patterns that are vibrant and striking, almost like they're emulating eyes.

SUDOWOODO-UNOVA - PSYCHIC

As its habitat became urbanized, its body morphed to adapt. The blinking of the bulbs on its head can force opponents to stop or go at Sudowoodo's discretion.

I've drawn quite a few tier 3 sprites.
Sentinel, Marshall and Marksman are already done.
And now I finished animating the next.
One of my fav class lines.
