These are a lot of fun but what are you using them for? Do you have a deal with some Korean manufacturer which programs games into their mobile phones or what?

Errm - unemployed student. I have a lot of time on my hands. But I edited in a quote from the wip thread ^

I'm working with a game developer in the US, but these aren't related to that.

A cloud dragon.

Some older work:

datahound · 15-11-2009, 05:56

Nice I like it.

The towers at the end are great.

teapoted · 15-11-2009, 06:01

I love the grungy backgrounds with the clean pixel graphics, brilliant.

KingCraig · 15-11-2009, 07:45

It's lovely stuff Zaba.
Following on from Tea and DH, the textured BG with pixels looks awesome.

I'm dying to get some screen printing gear so that I can print onto some nice textured stock. I just worry that chucking on a textured background just to make it look cool is somewhat unsophisticated. But thanks for the praise!

teapoted · 15-11-2009, 08:49

More sophisticated than just having a plain gradient, either way don't worry about it as it adds to the style.

No, I think it's a nice contrast though. Be careful with your screen printing though, might be a bit tricky to keep your artwork sharp.

Playing around. It's a little dark because of the background. I might try lightening it up... hmm.

Hey, can a mod change the name of this thread to "bjzaba's random junk" and move it to the showcase? I'm thinking I'll just chuck all my personal work in here.

I like pixel art. I have to dig one up I did of an aliens & their ufo way back...

[edit]

Found two of 'em:

Mucked around with the levels and it looks much better now:

Random crafty stuff:

Today I randomly decided to start stitching together some pieces of calico to make a hilly/cloudy thing. The owl (his name is Wol) was carved out of a block of balsa wood with a scalpel. It's my first carved sculpture thing, so it's pretty crude. The grain was running the wrong way, so that didn't help. I made the funny nose man a at the end of last year. He's a little lumpy.

The dude in the box in the 1st post reminds me of Dire Straits 'Money For Nothing' video.

Fucking twitpic...here you go:

MY OLD/FIRST LAPTOP:

Way back when, I had a feature on my portfolio site where I wanted to showcase more of these tiny "box pixel art pieces"...I never really expanded on it, though.
