The art club theme this month was "Space". No, this has nothing to do with any billionaire space tourists, lol. Heavily inspired by one of the early scenes in Outlaw Star, actually.

Another month, another art challenge complete. This month's theme was "Bones". I had a super fun time making this skeleton that blends lizard, bat, and wolf skeletons together into one creature.
FINALLLY!!! I've finished the dark souls boss design. This is a fungal witch related to the Mushroom People in the Darkroot Garden. She summons and controls the mushybois for her own twisted purposes.
I spent the last two streams working on this: my first real attempt at non-game pixel art. There's always more noodling that could happen with it, but I think I'm ready to call it done. I was thinking of adding some animation to it but I also want to move on to a new one!
OK it's done! I'm really happy with how it all turned out. This is the first time I've done just a big character like this. I feel like I should do more.
Anyway, this is Eckert, my Hexblade warlock who never EVER removes his armor and has forgotten most of his past. :)
So last night I streamed and made some 5 color nes palette nintendo characters (more or less) in Shovel Knight's style. probably won't do anything with 'em, but it was fun! ... I've never really done fanart before...
Anyone who knows Jirard saw this for what it was & waited patiently for the resolution. A clear, comprehensive apology for the wrongs, an explanation for the delays & mounds of evidence putting the more serious accusations to rest. I hope those who were hurt by this are satisfied
Fiiiiinally. I’ve been terrified of a leak for so long, but now it’s real and out there! Shovel Knight is an assist trophy in Smash Ultimate. He looks so cool in there!!!
Finished another piece. This one considerably less time and effort than the last lol. The art club theme this month was "Mythical Winter": Depict a legend or myth with a winter/ice theme. Here's my take on what a Wendigo could look like :)
Many late nights later, on the absolute last day we're allowed in this office (just moving, don't worry)...
Development on Shovel Knight: King of Cards and Shovel Knight Showdown is now complete!
I made a spook! I don't have the recording of getting this from scratch to sketch but the progress of sketch to final is still pretty fun. IF you really want to see the whole progress you should come to the stream!
Mohawk the Spider Gremlin from Gremlins 2! This is the latest of the charity commissions I gave out as a reward for

Cant believe how well Mina the Hollower has been received!!! It’s like the love is continuing exactly where the Shovel Knight Kickstarter left off. Unbelievable, thanks for all the support you guys. We won’t let you down!!!!
Hey I'm gonna make some Background art for King of Cards. Come watch if you want!
Here's the BEFORE pic. we'll see how far we get by the end of the day.
Another illustration down! This time another DnD character, Karth. He's a goliath Rune Knight who lost his sword so is just borrowing this one for the time being.
Level art stream full of level spoilers!!
Today's art challenge is a fun one from
@Biovyx
: Design an outfit for your favorite character based on fooood!!! Food Fashion?
My second entry into this month's art challenge: "Mythical Winter". This is the titular character the Snow Queen. The story of the same name is quite a wild ride and worth the read. Stil not too confident with this one but... here it is, lol.
Wow, you spent all that time finding each one, capturing them and editing the video together! When people do this, it really makes the effort needed to put things like this into games worth it. Thanks so much :)
This is Kozilek the "Butcher of Truth" from the MTG universe. This was another commission given out during

During the stream I'm going to issue another art challenge. While I work on levels, join others in chat making cool arts! Today's challenge: Draw the mom of your favorite (SK) character. Here's King Knight's mom:
What absolutely kills me is that I forgot to include a layer in the final upload. Such a subtle difference that I didn't reupload it but man... It's been tearing at my brain all morning. Just for the sake of putting it out there, here's the real final piece. Spot the difference?!
Back to pixelling now that my computer is back up and running! Here's tonight's results. This is super,SUPER WIP! maybe 40% done. this is more or less the sketch for the background that is coming. spooky Insmouth-like port town.
Thanks to you all,

Ok I have some ideas for the name of Wapeach. Cuz that name is gross and clunky.
悪 - this is warui. It’s the reason wario and waluigi are named the way they are. It’s also pronounced aku as in AKUMA, meaning demon.
桃- this is Momo, pronounced momo when used as a name! 1/2

I got used to sending people a picture of grumpy cat accompanied with a "no", but then I got an offer that made me reconsider, which I then accepted with this image:
Here's where we ended tonight. A little bit of a stretch from Shovel Knight's anims but that's ok i think. He's got a wand! He should use it! Man working with the restrictions of shovel knight's existing anims is pretty tough...
So the man whom I consider to set THE gold standard when it comes to tilesets (
@pixelhenk
) is making a game with one of my favorite composers (
@chanchacolin
) and it looks beautiful.
Things went well tonight! Did a few models and animated a couple of idles. One of my favs was
@Camrocs
's character.
Subs are getting the premium treatment :)
Whoa!! Cool! most of the YCG original crew helped make the original! It was our last big project before jumping ship. Sooo this is very special to us, I’m excited!!!
