I made my partition sketch! I hope you like it

16 bit fox made in pixel studio

I guess these would fit in here. These are some initial planning sketches for a (not game-related) commission I’ve started working on this week:

The final piece will be pixel art, but it certainly faster to lay things out with my tablet. I’ll probably keep using this hybrid approach in future pieces as well.

(+1)

I meant to post the hires version of the 2nd as well, but I guess I clicked the wrong file! I guess you can use that to see what resolution the final version will be at :D

you can edit your post and add the picture again.

Pixel Arthur Morgan.

I challenged myself to make Arthur within an hour using the cover art as reference.

Because of that, there are some oversights.

At first glance it looks alright but if you look closely, you might start to see some errors made.

Some sketches I made :)

Nice! That cupcake looks tasty :D

Ended up doing them in a different style.

Looks nice!

thank you!  :)

Here's a sketch I made while trying to learn to draw water :)

Looks Beautiful

Nice! I especially like the rendering on the top-right one

(+2)

This is so incredible! I love the colour palettes and the detail. I am also trying to learn to pixel water falling at the moment and it's not easy.. Maybe I should do some studies like this one!

is this your first time doing this? i love it!

I like it
what is it about?

(+1)

Horror game - concept art, like "Darkwood"

(1 edit)

Great concept art,  I really like the first image.
I love how dark the forest is in these pieces, especially compared to the bright sky. It gives the forest a strong atmosphere.


Out of curiosity, what is the story about this monster, and what does it do?

The post got deletede for no reason

Pixel Dutch Van Der Linde from Rdr2.

I suck at drawing eyes, I had to do them numerous times. This is the best I could do.

Mmmyyuurrpp! Thats a dandy piece a art right there partner!

we just need more Muneh, Arthur
just one more score

I agree! It’s when I’m sketching I free myself if limitations or “trying to make” something and I always surprise myself!  

I did these sketches on my iPad while waiting hours online to buy TS tickets that were selling out  fast yesterday. Can you sense my anxiety from these pictures? Lol I feel our emotions come out more easily when we sketch and that surprised me yesterday haha 😂

Right before  May started, I made a little walking sim for "Cozy Spring Jam 2023" called "Relaxing Walk" (I know, Such a creative name)
Before I started any work, I made little sketches for what the levels in the game should look like. Some sketches have been updated in post.
The winter to spring transition level was supposed to be the first level but I ended up scrapping for the time being (since we were given 3 days to make a game). Recently (2 weeks ago) decided it was time to add it back to the game.

To save myself some time I ripped the landscape of level 1 from another game of mine, PropHunt.

Level 1 Forest Day Sunny

Level 2
Level 2 Forest Night Rainy

Level 3 Beach Sunset

Winter Snow to Spring

Sketch about Windows... Let's assume that the last plate contains blue screen. ^_^

happened to me yesterday, but replace the blue screen with a black screen. I could only see throttlestop and task manager.

Had to go into recovery and uninstall feature update.

(+1)

I permanently moved to GNU/Linux after 8 hours of update, error, 6 hours of try to roll back and the blue screen in the end

(+1)

Good. Microsoft's push to windows 11 is slowly making me move towards linux as well.
I really don't like overly simplified settings menu and the automatic updates. ( I forgot to disable windows update service this time around  )

(1 edit)

When I last tried to do it on a friends desktop I found out that they made it harder. IIRC they decided to deprecate gui app that could do it.

And I couldn't open that app... Is it the method/app you used?

(1 edit) (+1)

I only use services.msc ( the normal service app in windows ). Type services in search, scroll down till you see windows update and just disable it's service.
typically it works but it could be that newer updates have task scheduler checking if updates service is on or not. For that you might need group policy editor.
since I'm using windows 10 home they disabled the gpedit or Group Policy editor however you can easily bypass that.

Thanks for an advice ;)

While working on Magical Girl TRPG, I've been designing characters for the protagonists. Here are my progress, thus far:


Nice!!!!

aww these are so cute! I love the orange and blue one! super cool balance of colours and style! 

(+2)

A very weird drawing i made. It was made in adobe draw back in 2020.

I don't even remember what i was trying to make.


(+1)

idk, it reminds me of some point and click horror game lol

yeah, it does kinda look like a flash horror game

(+1)

Ooo yes I am getting creepy whimsical tree vibes!

(+3)

Playing around some environment ideas for my rpg. This first attempt is a little too generic I think, but I’ll get there in a few more tries no doubt!

(+1)

Ooo nice mood! Very mysterious! I like it! 

(+3)

That sounds like fun!

Here's a thing I threw together in a few minutes to try out a different artstyle.

(+2)

thank you, this is so swag

(+4)

hi um. im so happy to see people sharing and commenting on eachothera sketches i thing im going to cry 

(+1)

Sketch of my old cat who winked at the right time 

(+4)

Alright, you got me. This is a thread I can get behind.



I'm not posting these in any particular order, but there's a couple more that I probably have elsewhere on my hard drive somewhere.

(+1)

Nice! I especially like the astronaut

The funny thing was this was based on some alcohol pods that were inspired by that really stupid trend going on a few years back when people were eating tide pods.

Granted that was years ago but it really did inspire me to make it, but I never got the chance to finish it and it just ended up being one of those things I never bothered to finish.

(+1)

These sketches are pretty neat! The ones with the astronaut and the skull are my favorites.

(+3)

There was a pixel art challenge posted on Mastadon the other day, to recreate one of several photos as a 1-bit piece. I sat down and just kinda zoned out for an hour, and when I woke up this was on the canvas:

For comparison, the original ref is here

(+1)

Very cool!

1-bit art is always interesting to look at. This makes me want to try it out!

It’s a cool challenge, definitely recommend trying it out!

(+3)

Well... I guess I should participate!


First one: Drew it with my finger

Second: meow

Third: Drawn as fast as I possibly could

Show post...

Holy shit...

You got awesome talent going on with your artwork my guy. You wouldn't happen to have a portfolio or an account on newgrounds or deviantart where I can see more of your work would you by chance?

(1 edit) (+1)

Thank you! You've got some serious skills by the look of it as well :)

Unfortunately I don't, I've never shared art on those kinds of websites, but I can post more art here if you want to see it! I can probably also update my user page with other art (there's only one digital piece there currently)

You should! I’d be more than happy to see more of your work.

So here is a sketch of a new kind of level I had the idea of making for a while and finally got to tackling. I was kinda intimidated about using a half 2d , half 3d approach like you see here, but also it seemed like and interesting effect and it opens all sorts of possibilities for different puzzles I could make with these. I though about doing entirely 2d isometric levels, but I liked the idea of being able to move the sprites around and to rotate the entire perspective like you see above. If it's possible to do in 2d at all than it would be a real pain to code and way beyond my skill.  

This seems to be more or less working like I wanted it to do, but I had to employ some weird integration nonsense to make this work. For example, you aren't seeing this whole tileset from above the ground ( which would be easier to do if the sprites didn't move vertically), the camera is actually completely flat and looking from a strict birds point of view. I had to do that because otherwise the colliders would intersect whenever I try to move any of the sprites up or down and that just doesn't work at all. Kinda hard to explain what I mean without showing in engine examples, but all the ways I could find of making something like this use some goofy workarounds. Oh well, as long as it works. Hope I don't put myself in the situation where I have to make several versions of the same thing like I did when I had to code three slightly different versions of the same dialog window for different levels because I had no idea what I was doing, haha.





And the game is this is for is called Human Upgrade Labs and I already have a good chunk of it fully playable.

WTF how is this so fucking metal?

haha, thanks

Show post...

shhh, no swearing

(+3)

And I finally finishized these. The sprites and the rest of the level. I spent almost as long trying to make the gun thing on the bottom right track the mouse almost as long as I spent painting the trees, and it still only kinda works, haha:

Told wasabi that i will do the frisk sketch. here it is already.

Ahh you got me!

But I do love a nice fire too. That smokey smell, and staring into the flames and embers when it's getting cold at night <3

Sry Determination709, don't take it personally! You can block me too, maybe that'll teach me.

I’m pretty new here but I’m always down for a Sketch thread. Here’s my most recent sketches 






(+2)

They look amazing.
Especially that last one

(+1)

Thanks! I really appreciate it! Last one was definitely a lot of fun to sketch out

The middle one. ♥️

Working on trying to nail a particular vibe in my head. Still not quite hitting it, but I’ll keep trying…

Keep at it!

I know you can belive in yourself!!!

Lamar Davis as a goblin.


Although he looks more like a hybrid between an ogre and an elf.

So here's a sketch for a little experiment painting I'm making for my puzzle game.

Usually in painting it's all about the shading, the values( darkness/lightness of colors). I decided to say screw it and to see if i can paint something using exactly the same value for each color. If you turn off the saturation for this psychedelic mountain thing sketch it looks like a flat gray image and nothing is discernible. Should be an interesting challenge.

Mom, the diamond I'm looking at looks like an acid trip.

No but for real I like this. There's a lot going on that I genuinely like with this design.

Thanks. I also usually work with much more muted colors, so the acid trip esthetic is on purpose. Gonna try to burn out someones eyes with these colors.

Made the cat which has been appearing in memes lately.

Did some silly sketches that people on Twitter wanted me to do

Here's a sketch of a character thing i want to paint. A bit inspired by those creepy Victorian baby pictures where a mother would creepily sit there or try to hide, sometimes under a tablecloth, because the picture took too long to just leave the child on a chair by itself.

(+1)

And I ended up finishing this one:

(+2)

Woah, your use of colors is really good, and the rendering on this is absolutely beautiful!

(+2)

Thanks. I did go with a well tested path of combining browns and blues here. It rarely fails

(+3)

Some simple sketches over the last few weeks 


(+2)

YOOOOOOOOOO it's so cool that people still post here hello hi hru

(+1)

Hi!! Thanks for making this thread it’s always nice to see other people’s sketches and art. So I’m always down to clown. 

Also I’m doing good, how about you? 

(+3)

Ah nice to see this thread rise up again!

(+2)

Really like the 2nd pic! These are some pretty funny and cool sketches 

(+1)

These drawings look nice!

I'm wondering how you managed to get water color like effects along side markers? Are these special pens or is it a technique?

(+1)

It's (normal water soluble) ink applied with a fountain pen, and them smeared with a wet paint brush. The ink creeps into the water, just like with water color.

(+3)

had an itch to draw something Dark souls related so here’s Solaire. Didn’t really care about colors so I just went bonkers

Some monster sketches. I actually already painted the final versions of some of these I liked.

(+2)

And here are some finished ones

Nice thread! I like looking at everyone's stuff. Here is some sketches for a game I been working on about a red panda that grows big after falling into toxic waste.

I've been learning how to draw properly, following exercises by Marc Brunet.

Here's my progress from day 10 to 20.

The first 9 days weren't really that significant, so I didn't add them.

Day 11 & 12 are missing, I don't know why medibang didn't save those.
