Is that the Ol'West mount? :P

Good job mate!

Indeed it is mate.

Nahh man. I have a looong way to go before I become entitled a "Pixel God." There's always room to improve.


Heck yeah, mate!



Yes sir, correct.

Just an overall look at the stuff I made between November and December. (Contains: Scratch work, some tiny edits, and unfinished work.)

Couldn't find everything but I'm missing at least 6 more files.

Someone get this guy a trophy.

Your GFX is so incredible... I'm so glad I found a person talented with such Art. =)

I've always wanted to ask you this bud, if you don't mind sharing, could you tell me when you first started pixeling/drawing and what motivated you to continue.

Honestly.. Your GFX is really good, you have to use some of these for future purposes outside of Graal! Whatever got you this talented, really did a good job!

Thanks man!

I started briefly in 2010 but stopped for a few months due to the frustration. In 2011 I started again and was extremely motivated by different artists such as G187, Sage, and Zerith. Mostly G187 because he taught me some basics on how to shade an outline. After awhile I applied my own knowledge of perspective and shading for objects, which increased my GFX at an extreme rate.

At first I started by detailing 2D art really hard, trying to make it realistic. However, this doesn't look so good for the iOS Graal servers. For this past year I have started settling in a more simple/classic style which is favored by most players on Graal. Using clean colors, simple shading, makes it look best. I still have some old work from years ago such as my first hat, my first melee, furniture, and even my first gun and heads. I was motivated by other art threads and I observed on how they shaded. I studied the work of their shading on every piece of art for Graal, especially for furniture and heads. Melees are my favorite. I developed my own creative style for them, which is probably why I like working with them so much. I have also been offered payed jobs for making 2D art but it is a part time thing. Mostly where they request a few things and I made them.

Either way, in art you always learn and improve. There is no boundary. Your goal is your boundary and you're the one who pushes yourself to continue.

One sprite of that reindeer took about 15-20 minutes.
