Can we all agree that Metal Slug has some of the best pixel art of all time?
The Metal Slug team is absolutely fucking crazy
No one said “hey, we need you guys to create like a dozen giant intricately-animated bosses at a totally ridiculous resolution”
THE LIGHTING CHANGES WHEN THE CANNON GOES OFF AND EVERYTHING
THE PLAYER CHARACTERS ALL HAVE LITTLE RELOAD ANIMATIONS IN A GAME WHERE YOU NEVER ACTUALLY HAVE TO STOP SHOOTING
AND JUST IMAGINE THE THOUGHTS THAT WENT THROUGH THEIR HEAD WHEN THEY MADE THESE
JESUS
AND THAT’S WHY I FUCKING LOVE METAL SLUG.
I aspire to make pixel sprites this fucking awesome.
Indie game devs that make really shitty-looking pixel “art” need to take a lesson from Metal Slug. Pixel art in old games like that aren’t about “how minimal can the design be given the hardware provided?”, they were more like “with the hardware provided, how much can be done with it?”

Been a while since I done any pixel art.
This was fun to make.
Largely inspired by Paul Robertson’s style.
All I wanted was a new Juri icon, but then somehow I turned that into drawing all the SF4 girls in 100x100 pixel art and uh
yeah
“The Deer God is a breathtaking 3d pixel art game that will challenge your religion and your platforming skills.”
You play as a stag, it has pretty music and everything is so so pretty.
This game is beautiful and you should pledge on its kickstarter- it has only a month remaining!

$3,500 to go in a week!
Celebrating the announcement of the Link’s Awakening remake for Switch with a little pixel art animation! I might have outdone myself this time!
I did this a while back, because:
A) I love pixel art
B) Nintendo refuses to give us another 2D metroid sidescroller. I’ve been yearning for one for over a decade now :(
All assets were done from scratch, and it’s done in pixel perfect resolution for a top 3DS screen(I’ve tried porting the image to my 3DS to see how it would look but the system software makes that near…impossible)
