Fixed up this animation, added a badass red headband inspired by series like Ys and Tales so now she's kind of a cross between Casca and Cress Albane but also gave her some grey hair because you don't see many action heroes who are middle aged ladies
The new @porchcatmusic.bsky.social album is now available on bandcamp! porchcat.bandcamp.com/album/broken...
Is that Casca?? Just doing a little pixel/animation practice now that the album is released! #pixelart #animation
Have you listened to the new Porch Cat album?

A fantasy world map with a cloaked player character positioned at the bottom.
A cloaked player character enters a small town on the outskirts of a city. Two armoured guards prevent entrance via a drawbridge. Another guard leads a prisoner to the gallows whilst a mother and child look on from across the road.
A cloaked figure approaches a pear tree on a cliffside. In the far distance, a huge suspension bridge can be seen over a great river.
A cloaked figure walks along a river in a forest. Across the way, two raptor-like creatures with human-skull faces devour a human corpse.
My most ambitious project yet…
DARK PASSENGER
A dark fantasy adventure
Coming soon…

Thank you!!
I've been playing too much Tales of Berseria and now I am long-coat-lady-pilled
Drank a little too much yerba mate and animated this... Is there some kind of rule against brawler characters wearing long coats...? #pixelart #animation
Yeah I'm aiming for like science fantasy brawler/monk, not futuristic but not medieval fantasy either, kinda in the territory of steampunk or maybe dieselpunk (so like halfway between Arcane and FF7/8?)
I asked this question with a previous design that was more cute and cartoony and was told it evoked the Jetsons so I'm asking again with this iteration: What kind of setting do you imagine this character might exist in?
This is getting pretty close to looking like a finished design I think #pixelart
Do we like the blue top or the more monochromatic fit...? #pixelart
Alright I think this is the one! I might tweak it here and there but it's much closer to the vibe I've been going for, for this character... #pixelart
Thank you, I appreciate that. I put a lot of thought into my work!
I saw a guide one time on how to detect AI pixel art and one of the things was "user posts multiple iterations of similar pieces within a short time" and look... I know I do that but it's just my process I'm super indecisive and can't stop tweaking things and then posting it. I hope you can tell!
One last iteration on this purple haired brawler girl character for the night (still a WIP, very minimally/lazily animated for the heck of it) #pixelart
Uhhh take two (three...? still a WIP but this feels less like she's gonna take my lunch money and stuff me in a locker...) #pixelart
I played with her proportions so she'd look less chibi/childlike/cutesy/cartoonish and now I'm afraid she's gonna kick my ass 😅 (WIP) #pixelart
My biggest obvious inspiration is Cave Story by the way if you couldn't guess.
yeah like optimistic futurism kinda stuff? By party do you mean like a celebration or like an RPG party?
Any ideas for what kind of world this character might exist in? I don't have a ton of time to work on game stuff for the next few weeks but I'm thinking about ideas for setting and stuff in the back of my mind...
😊
Isn’t she cute??! I kinda love her tbh
You know at one point I had an idea for a top-down Cave Story fan game that would play sword of like Enter the Gungeon but with Cave Story style weapons and upgrades and of course the Booster to scoot around at high speed, this character would fit something like that pretty well, don't you think?
A robot country artist commenting on pixel art of a robot girl, how fitting...
Gold Star for Robot Girl? (real indie rock fans get the reference) #pixelart
I think the little horns are very cute but they do call for a more specific origin/backstory for the character and the existence of some kind of devil/demon like creatures in the world which limits the freedom I would have in writing the character somewhat...
