Playing with Pixels

I've loved pixel art since the sepia tinted days of the Master System, and have been inspired recently with the amazing work of the Superbrothers and others to try my hand at it.

Angry Chef

A shouting Chef I did for another prototype that was originally to be in Pixel art but will now be made 3d.

Zombie Voxels

I’ve been away from posting for ages. My normal job was just meaning I wasnt getting the time to really do much pixel art. But during that time I did get to play with Voxels for a prototype game that unfortunately didnt pan out.

Here are a few Zombie anims I did for it. A basic walk and a Thriller dance.

In progress tile set I’m doing for a friend top down tank game. It was supposed to be in a real world setting but I thought a Grid/Tron setting would be cooler.

Tron is always cooler in my opinion.

The tiles are normally 32x32. There are larger buildings and a few levels of tank size to do yet.

Trying to also add some colour coding to the pieces.

Purple: Solid objects Blue and White: Background Orange through Yellow: Tanks! Red: Projectiles and mines Green: Pick up crates

An update to the background scene for the still in development game ‘Shipping Sheep’. Each time you play it will select a different season for a little variety on the old eyes.

There is still another layer of detail to go on this where there is grass swaying in the wind, waves bobbing up and down at sea and birds flying.

Pixel art rite of passage. A spinning coin.

Seven Samurai

Should he don the helmet and fight crime in a more direct manner?

He just doesn’t get it.

Bigfoot update.

Much happier with this now after some helping pointers from my animation buddy Luis. Looks loads better on the out of the anim.

Not your average Museum exhibit!

Bigfoot lives.

Some of the Exhibits you will be able to find in Pixel 8.

The game is getting really far on in development now to the point I can start to spend more time doing fun things like these instead of the tedious but needed text boxes and tutorial flows.

Sleeping Security

Little silly and simple idle anim I did for a sleeping security guard to be used in Pixel 8.

Did all the art work in Pixaki and then animated it in Photoshop.
