At the foot of the monuntains

For this years April fool's challenge I tried to imitate Zaebucca. Don't think I quite lived up to him, at least not as well as hby did, but I'm still pretty happy with the little guy.

the phantom and his partner in crime!!

A collection of funny "Shallan sketches" moments from the books. I love that these books have a main character who, like me, is unable to protocol a meeting without doodling all over the protocol sheet. And dang, do those doodles have a tendency to get really involved. Plus: bonus mink, because of course.

The page Shallan didn’t want Adolin to see. Bonus Veil, Gaz, Pattern, Adolin + passionspren, and a bonus safehand covering the more compromising parts.

Bonus conversation between Shallan and Veil.

And of course, Kaladin finding an unflattering sketch of himself in oversized boots carved into the table of the trio's favourite dive.

The official design of the carapace shield is so much more horrifying than what I had imagined… I know they had to do it but if I was Rlain I would have killed everyone in Bridge 4 with a gun

Where did you learn to draw the pokemon pixel art style so well? Do you know any video tutorials, or could you do a small post with the techniques you use? If not, that's okay

I can assure you this post Will Not Be Small.

My interest in spriting started in I want to say 2012 or 2013 when I started binge watching pokemon fusion videos. mostly from creators like SuperSonicGX

Back In My Day we called completely original sprites scratch sprites, I still use that terminology and get confused when people don't these days. But that's just a side note. for resources and general tips I do have plenty!

The classic is, has been, and will always be the dragonfly cave spriting guide

this scorpion means everything to me.

When spriting in any style the first, most important rule is learning what limits you have. color, size, even specific palettes for some games.

For the first two generation pokemon games you had three separate sprite sizes, 40x40, 48x48, and 56x56, as seen here.

along side this requirement, these sprites also had four colors

white, also used for the background, black, a light tone, and a dark tone as seen with our friend Kingler here

the big rules to follow with spriting are remember to use space efficiently. Sometimes the whole canvas isn't needed to get the point of a sprite across!

techniques I personally use for spriting are used mostly during the sketching stage.

Such as blobbing in a silhouette and then filling it with rough color to get an idea of what to do, as seen here

helps immensely with the spriting process and means you can get sketches out very quickly.

I do want to make my own soft tutorials eventually, just timelapses to show off the process. But hopefully all this as is helps!

Wanted to practice a bit of enviroment drawing, so I adapted a drawing of Vermis

Basalt King

Pheonix Wright: Ace Attorney (1991) for the NES

It's fun to work with the color limitations of the NES, and also I'm a sucker for all-black UIs.

I made a font that matches the modern sans-serif style of the original but still fits into the one-letter-per-tile scheme, and I really like how it turned out.

Might make more AA stuff like this actually.

I finally finished my custom Abhorrers tokens

Match with @marioio-pixelart

I won this time!!! All those spiky squares are hazards, so yall can imagine how hard it was for him to move, specially since my units are mostly immune to hazards. He managed to kill all my units but my necromancer, but I was focusing his, so one last hit gave me the victory.

My team was 2 Rottens, 2 Hosts and 2 Scums

His was 1 of each Abhorrer unit

( I also got him to make custom art for his units >:3 )
