Did I overdo the subpixeling on this enemy animation? #pixelart #gamedev #crashbandicoot

heya folks. So, right now I'm in a really rough spot and could really use some help. If you do or know someone who needs some pixel artwork please let me know ^^

Also, reposting this helps a ton too.

Thanks ç-ç
Hi there everyone! I'm Za, I'm a pixel artist currently open for commisions! I focus mainly on backgrounds and tilesets, but I can also do portraits and some spritework too. ^^

My portfolio is www.artstation.com/ratazart

Just one of the optional dungeon entrances in our game! Would you dare to follow the flying insects inside?

If you like the game's vibe, you can wishlist it on Steam 🔽

A first look into the starship: S.S.Hercules! Another sci-fi aspect of Stillsun Ark. You'll be exploring the ship before the crash.

What do you think about the ship's interior? And the dialogue prompt?

Wishlist the game on steam below ⬇️

Progress on the ice level tilesets for my fan project Crash Bandicoot Twisted. #pixelart #crashbandicoot #gamedev #gba

Alright, getting closer to a complete ice level. Still a few bugs to iron out/playability fixes. Right now turning my attention to drawing the remaining side scrolling parts of the stage #crashbandicoot #pixelart #GBA

New attempt at a #pixelart self portrait. Not sure it 100% hits my likeness, but close enough.

I think I’ve posted the full cutscene this is from before, but it took me forever to find a composition I was happy with for this piece for my fan game Crash Bandicoot twisted. #gamedev #pixelart #crashbandicoot

Another animation for my Crash Bandicoot fan game project.

Mina the Hollower is out!
I was going to just make a quick sprite, but I got a bit carried away and just ended up making a full on high-res mockup instead. Haven't even got around to playing the final release! Gotta fix that.

Quick Nosferatu sketch #pixelart

Making some progress with the background. I think I’m pushing close to the maximum number of tiles I can stream on GBA while still hitting 60fps. #crashbandicoot #pixelart #gba #gamedev

Took me a bit to animate him charging. #pixelart #gamedev

Working on this character concept for the yeti chase for Crash Bandicoot twisted. It’s a bit of a departure from the original game, what do you all think? #pixelart

My wife’s favourite game is Stardew Valley, so I tried my hand at making a custom portrait for her. #pixelart #stardew

Finally finished my intro cut scene for Crash Bandicoot Twisted. It's heavily inspired by huge adventure, but I felt like there were too many plot holes so I wanted to do my own take. Let me know what you think! #pixelart #gamedev #crashbandicoot #gameboyadvance #retro #indiedev #retrogaming
