my entry for the 30 Years of Tamagotchi Game Jam!
I loved my Tamagotchi (even though it was the pink one). At the school gate Mum said all the parents would be looking after their kids' ones until the bell rang 😂
what colour did you have?

1bit black and white pixel art - large version in the background: the Omastar (Pokémon) looking upwards with limbs raised to beams of god rays coming from text above: "PRAISE HELIX". An original sized version is displayed on a Nokia 3410. Text: Nokia Art Jam 4. Theme: Fossils.
I've had solid day of 1bit pixel art today 🥰
another retro throwback! this time for the Nokia Art Jam 4
this was my first phone! 👴
my friend sent me a custom ringtone of the Ground Force theme tune xD
what was your first phone?

such a cute little creature, that kinda looks like a frog?
1-bit pixel art in desaturated lime green and dark brown, inspired by The Legend of Zelda gameboy style. I created individual tiles based on a prompt list for the Septembit 2025 challenge by Saultoons and used them to create a game mockup. Details include: Link's character sprite, a great fairy fountain, a whispering stone, minecart and tracks, a tower with a big rupee, and various shop buildings.
Pixel art body shape studies using a limited 5 colour palette. Four different body types are shown in masculine and feminine form, with a central skeleton. They are about 16 by 48 pixels in size. Trim Jim (slender), Gym Jim (very muscular), Slim Jim (underweight), Chin Jim (overweight), and Grim Jim (skeleton)
Promotional image for Knightwood fantasy pixel font. More than 250 languages supported, 16px tall, and includes bonus glyphs (examples shown are the decorative border, dungeon chains, and pixel art sword - they are all made using box-drawing characters within the font)!
Promotional image for pixel paper scrolls & ribbons tileset with a preview in the background of different paper edges, corners, rolled parts, flowing parts, holes, snags, folds, and torn paper. In the foreground, an example sneak peek is shown in context for making a fantasy pixel art map.

I celebrate the parts of my childhood that shaped who I am today. 🥰 I work with game devs to create worlds that help us discover our true selves.
Let's work together!

Hire my friend if you need cool fonts or pixel art
Afternoon tea - 18x24” acrylic on canvas. Available.
OH RIGHT I'm meant to do the self promo thing!
this font was commissioned through my VGen - if you'd like a bespoke pixel font of your own (any size!) then send me a message :D

(I'm a couple of comms away from reaching verified status! 🎉)
Pixel art typewriter font work in progress sample with two rows of lowercase letters on evenly spaced grids. The first shows letters a-h in a smaller size and cleaner style, the second row shows a larger version with more gritty texture. The small text to the left of each row reads: UC32 x21, and UC36 x24. These indicate the uppercase size in pixels (UC) and x-height size in pixels (x).
some WIP sneak peeks of a "hi-res" monospaced typewriter pixel font for a commission I'm working on :D
my client requested MOAR TEXTURE! 🙌 we've also decided to increase the sizing a smidge to allow more room for the italic and bold versions later :D
(top row = v1)

Happy yeet tits anniversary!
Shane: I think we're gonna have to kill this guy, Jeb Jeb: Damn
I love this trend, and I absolutely had to do it for Shane and Jeb from the wonderful @vazdimet.com. I can literally see them having this convo about some poor bastard.
A drawing of two fantasy bisons, an adult male, and a baby. The adult has a dark purple fur, with armour plating on its lower back. It has four eyes, long horns curling around each other, and glowing purple spots all over its body. The baby is much smaller, a lighter pink.
It fills me with joy when someone that's commissioned me in the past comes back for more artwork 🥹💕
Here's a lovely commission I finished today 🫶 #art #commission
Overworld Adventure - Temperate Plains. Background image showing the top-down 16x16 pixel art tileset in use with a fantasy woodland scene including a river, wooden bridges, trees, rocks, flowers, mushrooms, and rocky cliff ruins.
A preview image of the top-down pixel art tileset. Each tile is 16x16 pixels and it includes: grass tiles, water tiles, rocky cliff tiles, dirt tiles, and standalone assets like: stairs, bridges, stones, twig, mushroom, flower, bush, and tree. The standalone assets have separate semi-transparent shadows next to each.
An example scene made using the top-down pixel art asset pack. A river with rocky banks, the remains of a ruin or elevated cliff area, a bridge spanning the water, a fishing spot, dirt paths, trees, and bushes.
Finished in time for the weekeeeeeeeend!! 🥳🎉

I had a blast designing an outfit for this challenge, I designed a dress mimicking her emerging from a swirling sparkly portal ✨ not the *most* witchy thing in the world but I had so much fun, with this, I stayed up til 6am (don't recommend) designing it 🥰 #art #fashion
I don’t think I ever ended up sharing this lil’ project!

Pushing myself out my comfort zone cuz I was so proud of finishing this.
It’s a simple website where you can see #pokemon sprites (pixel art) and then change (randomly) their colours!
Why? Read the comment! (1/5)
An example of my fantasy pixel font called Knightwood, showing thematic fantasy words from A-Z. Below are examples of words, numbers, and symbols commonly used in video games (such as for high scores, xp, timers, and progress). A decorative border frames the showcase, and dungeon chains hang in the background - these are box drawing elements included in the font that you can type using text!
A showcase of pixel art paper GUI elements made using my pixel paper pack tileset. Examples include horizontal pages that can be pristine, have subtle or deep fold lines, curled corners, rips, snags, or burn marks. Ribbons and banners with elegant loops can be used for titles and headings and work well with fantasy themes!
A pixel art showcase of blank character body types, each in masculine and feminine forms. They are 16 x 48 pixels and use 5 colours. Trim Jim: an "average" body type of those shown in this example. Gym Jim: a strong and highly muscular build. Grim Jim: a skeleton (center). Slim Jim: a slender, skinny body type. Chin Jim: an overweight body type.
My entry for the pixel art Septembit 2025 challenge, where I created 1-bit assets based on word prompts and pre-defined sizes. The final prompt was to use all of the assets to create a "city"! I chose instead to make part of a top down town inspired by The Legend of Zelda titles on Gameboy consoles :D This is the non-animated version, featuring a river, rower, railway tracks and a cart, different houses, a great fairy fountain, whispering stone, and environment tiles like paths, grass, bushes, and plants. Title scroll: "The Legend of Septembit, 2025" The scroll and fonts are also my own design using previously made assets.

Image text: "Create your own custom name generators & randomised lists. Ready to use Obsidian template - tjtrewin.itch.io - NO A I" Outline shapes of polyhedral dice adorn the image background.
I used to like using those fantasy name tools but they never gave the results I wanted (and nowadays, I don't trust the source material)....
So I made a template in Obsidian that lets you make your own 😆

it's free (or pwyw)!

Yes actually now is a great time to share good news
Now is a great time to celebrate the good news of strangers
To be the kind of people who are happy for other people to have good things happen to them
Yes indeed
Fox Mulder from X-Files saying “Hey, you got to stay alive if you want to stick it to the government”
“If you die, you let them off the hook.”
Needed this reminder today.

In the finale of WWDITS they presented three alternate endings. My fic is about one of the endings where Nandor and Guillermo are humans and married. (That finale is a tribute to a classic series finale: Newhart)
Ooooh I'm so interested in that poly story!
