Once again, I drew a vampire Hatsune Miku to celebrate MikuDay this year! This time in pixel art form and inspired by DECO*27's song "The Vampire"

I used a custom 8 color palette for this piece.

I haven't played Zenless Zone Zero, but I love Vivian and Hugo's designs a lot, so I've been wanting to draw them for a while. I decided to make some small 8-bit sprites of them, following NES/FAMICOM limitations.

I recently realized that JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood didn't get a game adaptation until 2006, something I find very surprising because it gives me very strong 80's Castlevania and Vampire Hunter D vibes and I feel it would have worked perfectly as a short NES/FAMICOM game back then, especially considering that similar franchises like Fist of the North Star and Saint Seiya, had games for the console.

So I made this small mockup of how I imagine a game based on Phantom Blood could have looked like.

Inspired by Castlevania's final fight, and following the same system technical limitations.

I have been playing Rabbit & Steel with Kuro a lot recently and absolutely loving it, so I wanted to draw our favorite bunny, the heavyblade Bunny.

I made 2 different versions based on 2 of the palettes she has in game, and each version is only made using 8 colors.

If You haven't played Rabbit & Steel you definitelly should give it a try!

Been playing a little of the Vampire Survivors: Ode to Castlevania DLC and I've enjoyed it a lot. The spritework is amazing, and the music remixes are fantastic.

I noticed a couple of missing characters, like Gabriel Belmont and Hugh Baldwin so I decided to make a small mockup based on how they could look like if they were in the game.

Made a pixel art portrait for my girlfriend, Kuro, as a small surprise gift.

There is three different versions of it based on each of her Dragon Ball Z inspired forms, Kuro, SSJ Kuro and Beast Kuro!

All of them use a custom 16 colors palette.

Don't forget to check Kuro. She is a very fun streamer and an amazing singer!

I wanted to give my own to try to twitter's Peach trend, since I love to see sprites from retro games reimagined, reinterpreted or redrawn in very different styles.

And an alternate funny version, since my girlfriend said the original sprite looks as if she was flipping of the player.

I had a lot of fun doing this, so I may do more like it in the future as well.

Got commissioned by VTuber Digiko Shellako to make her new Stream ending animation.

The animation uses a custom 21 colors palette (with 7 of those only used on the glitchy effects), and I is probably one of the most detailed pieces I have done so far, so I'm super happy and proud of the results.

If You want to watch comfy streams, and specially if You enjoy retro games, make sure to check Digiko's streams.

My entry for Nokia art Jam 3 hosted by Polyducks

The Jam consisted on making a mockup image following Nokia 3410 technical limitations. 96 x 65 pixels and only 2 colors.

The theme of this Jam was "What is James Bond playing?" so I imagined a small phone game where You, as James Bond, have to jump over crocodriles heads to escape from the Jungle, inspired by that crazy stunt from Live and Let Die.

There is a lot of amazing entries for the Jam so You should definitely check more of them!

"Maybe You are a vampire, and with damaged wings, You sleep, locked in a stone coffin. Dreaming of the heaven You could never go back to"

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

I found and old sketch of Elzie that I drew several years ago and never finished, and decided it would be a great idea to turn it into a small pixel art animation for this Halloween.

Elzie is a character I created for Vampire's Bit, a small project I worked on for a Game Jam a long time ago.

Once again I limited myself to using only 16 colors, and all of them come from PICO-8's color palettes (both its main palette and the second hidden one).

My entry for Nokia art Jam 2 hosted by @Polyducks The Jam consisted on making a mockup image following Nokia 3410 technical limitations.

I followed the optional theme "Lost games for the Nokia 3410" and imagined how a very simple, but cute looking RPG could be. I had a lot of fun working on it, and once again, doing 1-bit art was a very interesting challenge.

There is a lot of amazing entries for the Jam so You should definitely check more of them!

A Pixel art version of my all time favorite album's cover done for the Pixel Joint's Album Art Collab

The challenge consists on redrawing you favorite albums cover art as a 48 x 48 pixel art piece. For this one I used a custom 12 colors palette.

Versailles is a Japanese visual kei symphonic power metal band. JUBILEE -Method of Inheritance-, released in 2010, is their first album under a major label, and in my opinion, their best work so far.

You can see the original cover art and stream the album on YouTube and Spotify

Had the luck to work again on a commission for Virtual YouTuber Kumamori Freya. This time is a small relaxing animation, that she's currently using as the End Card for her streams. The animation uses a custom color palette, and is heavily inspired by FINAL FANTASY IX's game over screen, featuring her mask and her halberd.

Don't forget to check Freya's content too! Her streams are always fun and she is an incredibly good singer!

More Castlevania today!! Paradoxigent (@lightspiritdev) commissioned me to do the cover art for a new reorchestration of Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge's music. This time was Praying Hands, the theme for the Cloud Castle. Looking through the little referecens there is for the castles, the in-game graphics, and the artwork made for the American and European releases of the game, made me realize how futuristic, and even alien, this castle looks... I wish we could get more info on it, and about this very underrated game in general, as it made me incredibly curious. Again, for extra fun, this piece follows Game Boy Color's technical limitations closely, and while it would be very tricky to show that many tiles on screen on a real system, is not impossible either.

Happy Friday The 13th!!!

Here's a sample of the sprite work I did for VanillaBeast: Retro Knock Out!

Mason Gorehees, our parody of Jason, sporting a color palette based on how Jason looked on Friday The 13th for NES. I love working with very limited palettes, specially NES/FAMICOM inspired ones, so Mason was one the characters I enjoyed working on the most!

Are you brave enough to defeat Mason? Get the game and find out!
