This was a real labour of love. Originally it was supposed to be a quick project but it ended up being close to 3 years on and off of little tweaks and improvements here and there. I’m still updating it, so it isn’t finished yet!
Landscape pixel art piece from photo reference. Uses the Pico-8 16 colour palette. Animating the scrolling, the wind blowing and the transition fades in Photoshop was a nightmare!

Pixel art cloudscapes. I spent a lot of time experimenting with CRT effects and alternate palettes but I think presenting the clean pixel art here shows them off best. Cheeky 4 colour edit included.

A personal pixel art piece I've been working on in my spare time over the past couple of months. I had in mind a few different things I wanted to try like the foreground and background contrast, the cloudscape and the sense of height and scale.
Pixel art piece using the NES colour palette and technical restrictions. The design is based roughly on the Pura Lempuyang Door.
Periodically I'll do a bunch of these to unwind, usually at the end of the year.
Shattered Throne is a tactics based strategy game developed by Checkmark Games in the tradition of Advance Wars. This is a selection of sprite and map tile art I produced for the game which launched on Steam in late 2016. You can check out the game's store listing here.
These started life as simple pen and ink sketches. Colouring was done digitally in Photoshop but I tried to keep to the slightly sloppy, lose feeling of the original drawings to stop things looking too digital and clinical.
A pixel art depiction of the age old struggle between yeti and octopus.
Screen print concepts taken from my 'zine Nature Without Man. The colour palettes are based around blocks of overlaid CMYK inks. I'll be producing a hand printed run of the crocodile image later in 2016.

Novus was an unfinished tactical role playing game project that I contributed environmental art assets for working in close contact with the team's art director.
