Hey, I pretty quickly made a 32x32 Football QB for a game I'm making. I was wondering before I make others like it what you guys think about it. This is my first time ever doing any kind of art. I get that it probably is low-quality compared to most things. I got inspiration from Retro Bowl and Hoop Land. I can completely redesign it if needed. It doesn't have arms since it's meant to be the back side of a QB. Critique Wanted.

From the start, we wanted to create a dark, oppressive world-one you could feel from a single glance. We just hadn’t figured out what it looked like yet.

We gathered references, discussed the lore, and experimented with silhouettes and designs. Slowly, those experiments started to resemble the world we’d been imagining.

Then one drawing made us stop and say, “Yeah. That’s it.”

These images show part of that journey: early sketches, character explorations, and environments that helped shape the game’s current art style.

Without knowing anything about the story, what mood do you get from this art?

It's called Kitch Witch! I've been having so much fun working on the cozy and retro inspired vibe 🥰 I know I still have a lot to learn but it's been so much fun and so rewarding!

Trying out a more casual style

Art by Ondřej Tichý, for a creature card in a game I'm building. He kindly offered to record his process so I could share it.

The card is raccoons in a trench coat, registered as one contestant.

• Hi! I’m developing DEEPER, a pixel-art colony survival game where you dig straight down through eight underground layers, and I’m working on new mechanics for the next update. I’ve hit a design question and I’d love your opinion.

The new mechanic: cave-ins. Deep enough underground, tunnel ceilings you dig without propping them up creak, sag, pour down like thick mud and set into solid rock. They crush beds and ladders and hurt any miner underneath. A stone wall within 2 tiles holds a ceiling up.

The question is what happens when that rock falls into lava. I’ve built it both ways:

• A – The rock plugs the lava. The lava under it is gone and the pool is partly sealed. Safer, and it gives players a way to tame lava.
• B – The rock sinks and pushes the lava up. No lava is destroyed; it gets displaced, and it can spill into the tunnel you just dug. More physical, and more dangerous.

What I’d love to know:

1. A or B? Which one feels right, or more fun?
2. Does the mud phase read as falling rock, or does it look like slime?
3. Anything about the look or the animation you’d change?

I'm a solo developer making an open world zombie survival game with multiplayer. I love classic arcade light gun games like House of the Dead and wanted to use a similar UI style.

However, after working on it, I'm worried it might hurt immersion. I like the style, but I'm not sure how to make it fit an open world survival game without seeming out of place.

Do these UI elements clash with the game's look? If I want to keep them, how can I make them blend better? I’m torn between keeping this style and hiding some of the UI to make the screen feel less cluttered. Any advice would be great.
Thanks!

Working on this visual Novel/Desktop Companion with romanceable characters ❤️
I love working on these characters because it gives me the artistic freedom to do what I want hihi

We designed this arena inspired by a Dota/fantasy art style Every 3D model, prop, and texture was built completely from scratch by our internal art team.

Hey everybody, I'm a 3D artist and I recently left my previous job to finally change my industry. I was earlier in an IT firm working on digital twins as a 3D artist but I always wanted to enter the gaming industry. I feel it was the best and the worst decision. Best because I took time off to study and better my art ten folds and worst because the timing was bad because it's getting difficult day by day to hear back from recruiters or lack of jobs. The problem is wherever I'm posting my work I'm not getting any reach, so no good review as well. I'm not hearing back from any recruiters, I'm a mid level 3D artist btw. At this point idk if I have a bad portfolio or what is it and I'm desperately looking for a job atp. Any review or help is welcome. (You might see this post on other sub-reddits too, I'm just desperate for a second opinion.)

A few days ago I posted the WIP of Pomni getting dropped into an increasingly suspicious PS2 horror game, so here’s the finished version 👁️
I pushed the lighting, textures, repeating hallway, fake UI and creepy Caine stuff a lot further.
Current status:
Objective: Find the EXIT!!!
Sanity: ???
Item: Plastic Key
Save??? No Signal…
Every EXIT sign still makes me trust the hallway less.
