Pixel Art Headshots and More!

3/29/2025

Welcome back to my blog! Two days late this time, which I apologize for. I've been very busy this week because I've opened up commissions for pixel art headshots and I've been getting a lot more interest in those than I expected! Before I get into that, though, I'd like to share my progress on Gun Fight!

I didn't get a whole lot done in Gun Fight, but I did import the sprite into the game and made a death frame as well! I also made it so that the bullets fire at a different angle depending on if you're aiming up or down. The sprite is too small for the bullets currently and there are still some bugs that need fixing but I'm liking how it's looking so far!

I also made a Start and Options button for the title screen of Sea Slug Sanctuary! Here's how they look:

They're higher resolution in the game!

Now, to get to the commissions! As I've progressed in my game dev journey, I've also progressed in my art! I've dabbled in art before, but I think pixel art might be one of my all-time favorite mediums now! So, after making some practice headshots, I decided to open up pixel head shot commissions, and they've been really popular! Here are some of my favorite pieces I've made. I hope you enjoy them!

I've been really enjoying making these headshots, and I can't wait to make more! With each one I make I feel I get better and better, so I look forward to improving my skill!

That's all I have to show for this week! I'm excited to continue working on all of the projects I've shared with you today. Thank you so much for reading and have a great day!
