Working on a little zine for rating and reviewing pubs.

Hoping to give these to friends and have a fun little activity whenever we go out.

Feedback so far has been really positive, so I think I’m gonna make a bunch and put them up for sale on etsy or something

These are absolutely wonderful - I’d get some! £7.50 for a Fosters is obscene though, not sure I’d drink that shit if I was paid £7.50 lol

haha, these were just demo pages. I tried to think of the kind of thing that would warrant 1-stars across the board and Expensive Fosters ranked among the more egregious

i’m currently weighing up what i could charge for them, they’re fairly cheap to produce so a set of 5 for £10-12 seems like a reasonable spot. I’d like people to share them with friends and/or build up a little library of them.

Back from a work trip and needed something comfortable and familiar to work on to de-stress, so new font it is!

White text on a black background, set in a serif (kind of) pixel font with a 13 pixel height. The font is fairly narrow and condensed but still legible, with each letter aiming to have a distinct shape for ease of reading. Serifs are often omitted in favour of more consistent spacing within the pixel grid. The text used is the opening paragraph of Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House, and reads: " No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone."

Making a fake GBA game one screen at a time.

I’ll make a dialogue screen next, I reckon. got some ideas for how I’ll do it. The annoying part is that Procreate (in which I’m drawing) is not really made for sharp pixel text.

I’m not working on fonts instead of my main project(s) definitely not couldn’t be me

A glyph sheet for a pixel font, only partially completed. It contains latin and cyrillic characters, along with gender symbols, maths symbols and others. The font is a fairly standard serif font, albeit with a handful of quirky glyphs mixed in, such as an unusually curvy lower-case n, and the oddly designed upper-case L which I might rework!

revisiting an old project now, although this one is actually fairly far along so maybe will actually get completed?

I can dream anyway lol

Still, really like how it’s turning out :slight_smile:

screen recording of a pixel art platformer. A character wearing her hair up in a ponytail leaps between floating platforms with a distinct lack of grace, wobbling as she teeters on the edges. It's rendered with a Game Boy-esque green palette.

I really like the layers of background animation and subtle VFX (I’ve always been a sucker for one-pixel-wide line/effects work).

I always love drastically reduced palettes. This looks beautiful.
