15th january - 21st july
here's where i really started making ocs and going into fanart.
get it its like ninja and cat combined. i need to beat monster hunter rise ive been putting it off for so long-
my chicory drawdog! i've given you enough time you better have played chicory
orcane lovers of aether my beloved
ooh this one. i remember making this when the risk of rain 2 dlc was announced. i was pretty proud of it back then and yeah, its a big improvement over a lot of my older work
some untitled frogs i made on mspaint while bored at school one day. or maybe over multiple days.
this, on the other hand, im not proud of. for some reason i just got stuck with really dark and muddy colours and tried to correct it with fx ugh no nuh uh. ill do a better version eventually
some fanart i made for a rd level creator
some more fanart i made for a rd level by the same creator as mentioned before
some art of fakemon which i never ended up completing, these specifically were generated by ai then i went through and make them into actual sprites. dont worry this was when ai was quirky and cool and sucked ass and didnt take our jobs
i made this because i wanted custom icons for my games, for some reason
same as before, this was the only other one i made
i think i made this when i was getting into rain world, dont worry about the art just go play rain world
8th august - 16th november
this might as well be its own entire section, i've made a ton of stuff for rhythm doctor custom levels and fanart in the past and it'd be impossible to fit them all in one spot. so, i'll include a rd subsection each year. ill probably also make a page specifically for rhythm doctor custom levels and my thought process behind them later
one of the first levels i started making sprites for but also my first cc(s). not much to say other than play chicory its a good game :3
i've never been able to draw human(s) faces and it's a problem
made this for the level 'cyber battle'. again not much to say but i was getting better at making ccs
ian is a gamer
29th may - 14th november
here's where i started working on my own stuff and fanart ,also frogs
for one of my earliest pieces of pixel art i still think it looks pretty good, albeit i relied heavily on a reference and the parts where i had to use creative liberties like the tree look super flat. also i didnt know what hue shifting was lmao
recognise this guy? fun fact this is the first thing i ever made with aseprite. yeah
the first and last art month i've fully completed and it's all the same frog. my art style has improved a lot since i made this but it was a useful learning experience. also look at that house lma
i completely forgot about this one! this is the original design for bloop, as well as a bard character i never used. who knows maybe it'll show up in the future. probably not.
15th march 2020 - 15th march 2021
the beginning of my journey into pixel art. i did make a couple minecraft skins before doing terraria sprites but i consider this the actual starting point. the sprites in question were for a terraria mod which unfortunately stopped getting support and never got ported to 1.4. it taught me a few things but eventually i moved on
despite the name being gold armour resprite this was intended for a different armour set altogether. honestly it looks pretty good
this actually wasn't intended for the mod but instead for a friend's texture pack which would've replaced critters with eevelutions. unfortunately it was never finished
i dont remember why i made this one
