Zoe's random portfolio blog

Place to show off stuff I've been working on (pixel art, illustrations, concepts, game dev) for whomever it may concern (you, cliques, discord servers, employers).

I remember a month or so, I was getting a bit disgruntled with just pixel-art and one of my friends urged me to try "actual" digital art, so I drew Torhu Adachi from Persona 4 as a sort of meme/sendoff before learning a different software.

I do apolgize if this blog is really messy as a portfolio. I'm going through a lot of old projects and posting anything of personal interest.

Hell some of it I'm rediscovering it myself.

this is probably my earliest piece of art I did within aseprite; some concepts and ideas for an OC in mind.

It was made before I really knew anything about limiting pallets or anatomy really, since I had only just started picking up and cracking down on studying art.

(Late 2019-early 2020)

consider this as a reference point to how fair I've improved or degraded.

I remember spending a good week or two so I know I've gotten faster at least.

As part of advanced asset production, I was tasked with creating 3 highly detailed objects of choosing. I chose to design and then model a mech from scratch.

thus I produced concept art and references in the form of sketches.

It's name is HD-35 (codename: HADES)

These were for a gamejam I did a while back. The game concept was a first person shooter that took place in a nuclear wasteland where magic had went out of hand, and magic crystals were used to power guns (Acid Uzi, Earth Shotgun, Fire Flamethrower, Ice Sniper, and Nuke launcher).

I was tasked with UI design as well as a logo and menu splash art. (9/3/23)

However, the game ended up being broken and unplayable in the end, which was a shame.

When making the idle initially, I wanted to test "Sub-pixel animation", the idea of shifting hues and colour between the spaces of the sprite without really moving the sprites.

This, combined with some exaggerated movement in the shoulders created the idle we see today.

A death animation for a game I'm working on independantly. This is probably one of the more recent animations I've made for the project in question. The intent is to be fast & liquidy-almost. (11/11/22) I'll probably post the work I've done in order for the game when I've produced more, and I'll probably end up reposting this.

This is a test as a first upload to Tumblr. This in-itself was a test on dithering and colouring.

This was originally made for a college project and was way different but the original looked attrocious, so I redid it. (02/01/2023)
