Just one more

Been working hard on various things lately but I was able to finish one more lately, so I thought I'd post it up. I've been doing more high resolution work lately simply to expand on techniques and gather more understanding of different ways to sprite things. Expect some more low resolution stuff soon, however (well, things I can show at any rate).

Here's some more pieces:

Kirson, an original character.

I love airplanes... Oh, due to my preset background, this may be difficult to view. Please click to view it at photobucket or to look at it in a new window.

A tropical plant.

A simple tank sprite.

A robot who wants a hug!

That's all for now.

Huge sprite dump

Ok sorry to anyone with slow connections, bunch pics in this post:

Simple 'idle' animation for a girl with a huge spear.

A simple tree sprite.

Some old sword designs I decided to sprite.

Icon and menu/dialog box ideas. Very simple and low resolution for mobile stuff, etc...

A stylish fire effect.

A fantasy-themed plant.

And finally, a deformed monstrous frog... Well, maybe just a frog. But it certainly looks odd.

Expect more to come soon.

Sprite Sample

So I've whipped up a little sample of my sprite art. I think it came out rather well, seems to show a good degree of my abilities I think.

This is just a small post, but I wanted to put something here art-wise so the title is actually relevant.

The first post...

Well, here we are. Finally went and created a blog.

Hopefully, I'll stick with this one and actually do something with it. I suppose I hope to put art and miscellaneous thoughts and experiences here, something people say I should be doing. Of course, I could never make another post, but that will hopefully not happen...

Anyways, perhaps an introduction is in order. I'm a 20 year old sprite artist, currently doing some volunteer work for Skullgirls, a independently made 2D fighting game, as well as trying to 'strike out on my own' as it were. I also wish to complete a comic at some point, but that's neither here nor there.

I currently live in Ohio, but that's due to change most likely. After my recent move, I've kind of been left high and dry with no money and no job, and no real options except trying as hard as I can to get a job. Despite this, I've been trying to do as much art as I can between my ventures into the big, wide world to find myself some work, as well as attempt to do much needed introspection (of sorts...).

So with no money and little direction, I still work and move forward as hard as possible, if only to find or make my own direction for life.

I guess this is a good first post... Well, bye for now I suppose. Art later, perhaps.
