[FR/EN] (French) I draw silly pixel people :) and currently am fighting a brain aneurysm/cAVM Worked on Undertale Yellow 💛 (art & code) He/Him, for e-mail inquiries, use contact@deadkat.art

Update on the ongoing piece : I maged to make fun-looking 3D tree trunks. However. I suck at foliage. Oops. Silly me! I'll try a 2D plane with a handdrawn displacement map tomorrow... Or a normal map if I figure out how to draw with tangent space colours

Repost of one of my favourite #pixelart pieces while I try to get back into art ~ AVM means Arterioveinous Malformation It's a lil' lump of veins and arteries and I have one in me brains (3x2 cm), which causes a few sight impairments (rare retinal migraines + small shimmering spot)

The main thing I learned from looking at trees yesterday is that Square's artists, especially the KH team, were some of the best at their craft. I really wish more modern games took cues from that and that we'd get a bigger push from big studios to have part of those stylized pipelines back

from what I could gather : Planes with branches textures and modeled blobs are the two common solutions. UVs rarely align properly with branches because no one's gonna look at them. Stylized often use vertex colours on branchplanes (skyward sword). Demon Tides uses billboards for foliage

We passed the initial goal in 4 days! So we've upped it - let's push forward to $200k!! Thanks to everyone for buying the bundle and sharing wherever you can.

In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...

I'm probably going to need some help soon for merch-related stuff; ideally small quantities and as ethical as possible (ideally French since that's what I am...) If we're mutuals and you feel you can help me out, don't hesitate to reach out, I have next to no experience on the matter

no idea what to do for the moth cat piece at the moment, so I'll try to work on composition today. BUT! I managed to make a silly little tiling texture using a streetview screen of the town I was born in.

two views of the same basic 3D scene, but the one on the right has been limited to 4-colours only.

It features a tall bipedal pixelart cat standing on a paved road (the texture from the post), birch trees and flames behind it all
