My Bio
My art consists of concept sketches, sprites, and whatever else sprinkled in. I have a lot of crazy ideas - some even make me question what the heck I'm doing - and I would like to turn those ideas into games eventually. I'm really into odd, psychedelic, and geometrical art.
Right now, I haven't made anything too amazing. I mean my Game Grump Racer sprites have the most favorites (it's not that good). Anyway, here's to improving!

Sup, Mitch. What's with you?

Haven't written one of these in over 2 years. I'd say I'm sorry, but no one reads these (not blaming anyone). With an audience, I would have left a notice about my absence... Or would probably post more often. Alternate scenarios are fun, but back to reality. I've been on Discord a lot within some circles.
2017 started promising. I had a retail job and that tested me for a little while - learning curves and being my first real job. It helped me understand more about my work ethics, but the outcome wasn't very surprising for me. I'm pretty ace when I'm being paid, have to do something, and it's not new to me. I still work there, but I

A New Year, and New Resolutions
0 min read
No promises, but maybe I could stop rivaling Valve time and actually do something.
As of this post I actually uploaded something I've been meaning to upload for some time now. Main reason I hadn't was because I lost my trusty ol' save drive, but I found it again!
I've said it many times before, but I'm still spriting. And to really show it, as of late last week I've been looking back at when I was still new at spriting. 2011, to be exact. I'm going to be remaking a lot of old Momentary sprites. It's really going to show how much more control and refined my skills have improved over the past five years. The sole reason why I chose Momentary

Experiencing Technical Difficulties

I actually should have posted this on October 31st, but it was late when I tried, so I just gave up, but here it is now. What am I talking about? Well, you see, I can't scan off images anymore because of my new computer. Nothing is wrong with the printer or the scanner attached to it, it's just that there is no longer an option to scan images on my computer when I go to the printer's settings in the control panel. This means I can't submit any art unless if it's digital, which is mostly sprite art... Oh, and there's no adapter for my drawing tablet, so I can no longer use that right now. And if I didn't mention it before, my computer eats my

I'm not sure if I should join. I did say that I had just left a small group of first time game devs on a project because I found my artistic capabilities not up to snuff.
Every time I show my progress sheet to, they always have something nice to say and it seriously gives me that boat of encouragement to carry on with my ideas.
Personally, I'm trying to improve my work ethic - it's really slow and it takes me forever to get something to look right. That's its own thing because I draw on a small DSi screen all the time, so simple stuff like brush pressure is mute and I have to use sizes, shading, and the standard brush is calligraphic, so if you flip an image from one side to another, it looks bad. In other words, I'm currently at the mercy of my budget at the moment. I've been saving up for half a year, now.
I'd really like to do something like stream as a streamer or along side someone and pick up some tips along the way. I've considered going through forums for that, but it's not entirely organic and I've had bad experiences with forums in the past, but dang do I like to talk with communities so much. So much so that one of my main goals as a developer is to keep in touch with the fan base and the possible mods surrounding it. I'd love to make something as fleshed out as Mario Maker and beyond. I feel that by doing this I could forward the gaming industry with its communication to fans. We have the Internet, dag nabbit, why don't they use it to their advantage?
I have to say though, Kirby's Superstar Ultra was one of the things that got me into spriting, but it was mostly the urge to create my own Mario levels since I got my hands on SMB 3 and SMW for the GBA from way back.
The reason why I'm so reluctant was because I only got 2 sprites done for that character last year. I went back to a more 8-bit style with less colors to focus on what really mattered and that's getting the character's anatomy right. I've actually managed t sprite out some other characters with their own unique mannerisms. However, thanks for asking, I thought about this response for 2 days now. Probably spent 3 hours just trying to compose it.

Well, if you put it that way. Sure, sign me up. Heck, I'll see what you guys have and make some edits here and there as well as some enemies.
I started recreating some MiniCraft/MiniTale or I guess my own take on it, Momentary, sprites. Honestly, it's so much fun when you can blast through sprites. I remember the fun I had making those back in 2011 and it still is today. I know it isn't a 2-D sidescroller, but I'm thinking of taking on these sprites in a similar manner. I'm a little busy right now with applying for a job in t-shirt designs, but I'll get on this. Yeah, this'll be great.
Also, just to let you know, I think Mutant Mudds boasted a 12-bit aesthetic as well. Honestly, I don't know what deems a 12-bit style as I'm pretty sure now and again a style will be broken if need be.

Huh? Wha! Hey! Man, it's been awhile since I've seen you! How long has it been, a year an a half? Actually, you're kind of luck I just randomly decided to log in today (I haven't been, uh, very active as of late).
Anyway, what's been going on?
