#pixelart #pixel_dailies #ArtistOnTwitter #ドット絵 Heyo! Pixel artist and aspiring solo dev here. New pinned post showing some of my recent work! Always looking for #indiegame friends and #artmoots !

Sometimes you don't need to fight each other. Take a break and share some stories around a campfire. #solodev #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #indiegame

Takes elbow grease and spitting skills to hack it as a Siliconth in Neofeud 2, my scifi adventure game - which is RELEASED! silverspook.itch.io/neofeud2 #indiedev #cyberpunk #adventuregame #indiegame #retrogames #noaiart #Artist #scifiart #art

Top-down house free assets This is a quick wrap up of this week's work! Before: no bed, no large table. After: a bed makes bedroom possible, a vertical bathtub allows different design of the restroom! Have a nice week all! 🍰 #indiegame #indiedev #PixelArt #ドット絵

Top-down house free assets Bathtub vertical direction. The original asset pack has a nice bathtub but there is only horizontal direction. Adding a vertical one to let it be more adaptive. In the future I will add a completely new bathtub~ #indiegame #indiedev #PixelArt #ドット絵

Top-down house free assets A 4-grid rug. The original asset pack has two 3-grid rugs, but I found that dimension to be inconvenient sometimes. So here is a wider one! #indiegame #indiedev #PixelArt #ドット絵

Top-down house free assets Beveled rectangle dining table. The original asset pack has a small one so I thought a larger family may need a larger one! #indiegame #indiedev #PixelArt #ドット絵

Top-down house free assets Bed. The original asset pack does not have one so I added this :) #indiegame #indiedev #PixelArt #ドット絵

Concept design has been always a hectically messy back-and-forth process for me.... I think I may be dumb. BTW this is for the game I am making. 🙃 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #smallartists

Top-down house free assets Wrapping up this week... All 4 walls + 4 floors + wall top in one set! See you next week~🎈 #indiedevs #indiegame #PixelArt #ドット絵 #SmallArtists

Top-down house free assets Painted panel wall with a darker wood wainscot, plus a narrow plank floor. Bright and tidy with a touch of depth (despite the wears and tears!☺) #indiedevs #indiegame #PixelArt #ドット絵 #SmallArtists

@CitrussPunch Lol. However the inverse is not true, i.e. if an artist post wip every day the algorithm does not revive them. I know because I am a living evidence of that.😆 Or maybe because my wip are not cropped?

If you're an artist you have to post a cropped wip every day or the algorithm kills you

@jonkellerdev I see! Then besides the human decided lighting, the color designs is not methodical enough either. I see some basically pure colored things like large blue cloak from top to bottom no nuance of visual rythms. Those usually also contribute to visual blandness.

@SyntaxesOfPlay Maybe. I am however strictly speaking about the visuals. There is something weird about how textures are lit I think. Everything kinda looks like it's made out of clay lol

Crimson Desert might be the most fake looking video game yet. Like everything just seems 100% artificial and out of place, like it doesn't really exist in the game world. 3D artists please explain, because I can't quite pinpoint why I feel this way.

Top-down house free assets Vertical wood panel wall + herringbone parquet floor. Classic, a bit fancy, but still warm. #indiedevs #indiegame #PixelArt #ドット絵 #SmallArtists

Tuesday🌿 Glossy hex tile wall paired with small square stone tiles. Bathroom/kitchen vibes #indiedevs #indiegame #PixelArt #ドット絵 #SmallArtists

@ericnofsinger That is mighty kind of you. I will continue improving 🙌

@SyntaxesOfPlay Exciting to see your pixel art evolve. Love the cozy vibes you're creating.

Hey chat! I think I've developed my pixel art skills a bit, so starting to make a tileset! I aim to make it compatible with Penzilla's Top Down House. So here it goes.. Monday Plaster wall + wooden plank floor! Simple, cozy, and a little rustic :) #indiedev #ドット絵 #PixelArt

@BecomingCaptain Sometimes it also could be that we know people try to be nice and conceals their criticisms.😢

Why can't we believe people that tell us we are doing a good job? I hate imposter syndrome! "Your game is fun!" Nope, I don't believe you. Why? Cuz I guess that's how my brain is wired 🤣🤣

I *was* building a world. 🤣 I am a million years old. #conceptart #artistonx

Got ramen? 🍜 Ending the week with a colorful vegan ramen: tofu, broccoli, and mushrooms in a light broth. Which ramen from this week would you pick? Have a nice weekend! #PixelArt #Ramen #ドット絵 #SmallArtists
