Just realized I never shared this here TMNT art in the style of old Bengus art (circa MvC1.) Made the Turtles, and was initially just going to add April O'Neil, ended up adding Splinter, Bebop and Rocksteady as well. I made these during a number of livestreams. Could be fun to add more.
A lot of new updates in this one. There's also a full video of our 2026 convention tour if you want to catch up on what we've been going for the past year : www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ebp...

Pixeling more enemies for Vikings on Trampolines. Needed an enemy that could pop the balloons you're standing on. Like... a bird, that carries a saw. A Saw-Bird. Man... I made that beak real floppy. #pixelart #ドット絵 #gamedev
Simon S. Andersen ✈️ GAMESCOM@snakepixel.art · 3w agoMaking new enemy sprites for Vikings on Trampolines. The temp-sketch for the Blimpolini is a large balloon that acts as temporary platform, but its also mindlessly carrying a bomb, so you need to pop it before it blows up. I added a bit of a subtle fish-theme as well #pixelart #ドット絵 #gamedev

Still making Vikings on Trampolines backgrounds. This one was frankly pure indulgence on my part. We had usable assets for it, but I was feeling the summer this month. #pixelart #ドット絵 #gamedev

Its a really bizarre state you find yourself in when you work so much on commercial art that it becomes difficult to share. Because then, you stop existing, so to exist, you have to work double to make more, other art, which then doesn't represent your main career. So to solve that you have to -
Been waiting for this one all year!
D-Pad Studio@dpad.studio · 3w agoD-Pad Studio is headed to Gamescom this AUGUST (26th - 30th) Try the latest version of Vikings on Trampolines featuring our Co-op Adventure mode and of course, the new Versus mode! See you at the Indie Arena Booth! #gamescom #gamedev home.indiearenabooth.de/gamescom2026...
Also, my current game project: Vikings on Trampolines. Its a co-op/versus brawler where you're vikings, you fight on trampolines, and balloons are sentient and evil.
Old repaint of thief from Capcom's D&D Shadow over Mystara. Was initially a doodle on a post-it note.

2026: Year of the Fire Horse! Usually I do a painting of the year's Zodiac after newyears. I've been pretty busy with work for the past while, but I finally had a moment to get this one wrapped up. I like my fire-horses with extra torque!
That game we spent 9 years developing is part of the Steam Summer Sale. If you're in the mood for a story-diven, vertical platform adventure about a tiny owl exploring the sky, now is a good time to give it a go!

Tails from Sonic the Hedgehog, but he has an evil rival called Heads. Full name Meters "Heads" Persecond.
Some older OOT art. I always did love the 64-era illustration's use of deep shadows. Should make some new Zelda art soon, I'm feeling in the mood.
No idea if this is a developer thing, but giant videogame announcement shows are a strange feeling for me. My taste in games is very specific, so I'm really mostly left watching it from a business angle, which is a pretty somber experience.
