Hello #PortfolioDay I'm Anders and I like saturated colors and crunchy squares.

I mostly post #pixelart and I post both rarely and not very often 😘

Fantasy pixelart portraits in a retro-style fashion

Some animated MtG fanart. I really should make a white, blue and black card to complete the set, but there are still so many delicious green cards I want to make...how to decide 🤔 #pixelart

All #Kyora creatures are inspired by real Swedish nature.

The birds: IKEA bags caught in the wind
The flower dudes: Midsommar
The snail: that's just Björn 🐌 He moved to Falun after the incident

(Super wip stuff of course, so too soon to tell what will make it into the final game)

Neutral creature sprites design exploration from upcoming pixelart game, Kyora.

Finished a new asset-pack with monster/encounter sprites. They're divided into different schools/teams (8 so far) and range in power level from 1 -> BOSS. I'd love to add to it so I'm all ears if you'd like to see anything in particular. Cheers! itchabop.itch.io/monsters-wit... #pixelart #gameassets

One of the first 'big' pieces I tried to pixel when I was starting out. It was a big confidence booster at the time. (2014)
