Hello! I hope you're having a good week. It's time for some more new pieces for the Elements style!
Hair is one of the more time-consuming pieces to animate, because I think that it's important to make it really bouncy and dynamic. You can see an example of the animation on the "jump" animations above.
This is the first of the new hairstyles that I'm going to be making for ...
2022-11-23 16:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostHello! There's been a lot of positive response to the bioluminescent caves tiles that I shared earlier this week, so I decided to expand on the idea.
Earlier in the week I shared this new tileset for a Bioluminescent Caves Biome. After the positive response, I decided to fill out the set just a little bit more.

The other day, I was reading through the request thread to pick something to make for today's release. One idea caught my eye, and it got me thinking... see, for something like this, we already have all the tiles... in fact, we have a lot more than we'd need. There's thousands of tiles we've already made that could be mixed and...
2022-11-14 16:06:35 +0000 UTC View PostHello! Today's release is no surprise if you saw the one from earlier in the week!
Earlier this week I shared this Kappa based on a patron request. That original version of the sprite had a unique idle animation, but it wasn't a complete walking sprite.
Based on patron comments, there's been interest in expanding this...
2022-11-11 15:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostHello! Today's release is based on a patron request.
The kappa is a strange creature from Japanese folklore.
According to wikipedia, it's a kami, and get mad if you don't respect them as gods... so maybe I shouldn't have called it a "strange creature"!
It is said that if the water spills from the bowl in its head, then it will turn to a statue. Other accounts...
2022-11-07 16:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostHello! I'm back with some new weapons for Elements!
More weapon variety has consistently been one of the most popular requests since I released the Elements set. I'm glad to share a couple new ones with you today!
There are two new types of axes here: one is a two-bladed battle-axe, with an attack animation that creates a wide arc. The second axe is a classic once-sided axe with an overhe...
2022-11-04 14:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostHello! You know the deal!
Post here with an asset request. I'll fill what I can and release each as I finish them. The requested assets will be released to the whole patron group.

BOOO!!! Did I spook ya!
First off -- as always-- let's do a quick recap of this month's releases on Patreon:
What does everybody want?! What does everybody need?! What does everybody love?!
I spent pretty much all day yesterday creating a bunch of new heads for the Elements character style. These will be included in the first expansion pack and I'm happy to share them with you today as a special early release for patrons!
There are five new heads here: two heads with a scar-eye (one for...

2022-10-25 15:44:49 +0000 UTC View PostHello! Today's release should not be a surprise-- I'm back with the finished set that I previewed last week.
Last week, I shared this post a earlier than I was originally planning to schedule it. That's because I wanted to make use of the time by including some patron ideas into the set as I finished it.<...

2022-10-19 20:08:28 +0000 UTC View PostHello! Today's release fulfills a popular patron request.
You'll recognize this guy from way back during Quirky NPC Month-- this Snake Charmer was one of the first characters that I shared in April. Originally he only had a special animation where he was sitting down, but a full sprite for him has been a ...
2022-10-17 14:59:01 +0000 UTC View Postoooooaoaoaoaaaa!!! are ya spooked yet
This guy is based on a patron request. He's designed to look good with the Tyler Warren scarecrow monsters. I decided to give him a spooky dance animation.
The sheet has a version with and without the shadow, as well as a head.

Hello! It's been quite a while since I made a release like this!
This is based on a patron suggestion. This is a new SV battler and emote sheet that are designed to go with an existing character sprite. You can find the original character on the "NPC6" sheet from the 'Monsters' expansion of Time Fantasy.

2022-10-12 14:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostNo post today I'm sorry.
I had a emergency with my dog this weekend-- he got out of the hospital yesterday and is recovering from surgery. As I write this now, full recovery isn't certain but so far things have gone well, so we are optimistic.
He can't walk or go to the bathroom on his own right now and he needs a lot of attention-- so for right now it's hard for me to focus too long on one thing at the computer.
Still planning on our regularly-schedule release for later i...

2022-10-07 14:59:02 +0000 UTC View PostHello! Today's tiles are based on a 💀 spooooky 💀 patron request!
This one is gross and disgusting and spooky... and hopefully useful!
A single-tile texture didn't work for this; it was just too repetitive and it looked very awkward. So I designed this pattern to use two tiles, and they're intended to be offset from each other to tile correctly (like a 2x2). I hope that makes sense!...

Hello! Here we goooo!
Based on a popular patron request-- here's a classic RPG airship! Zeppelin style! Imagine riding on the deck of this bad boy, clouds in your face, hair whipping in the wind, eye level with seagulls and eagles, triumphant world map theme blasting on the speakers... that's freedom, baby!
I made two versions of this sheet: with and without the shadow. 2022-09-29 15:00:00 +0000 UTC View Post
Hello! I'm very happy to share this with you today.
Here we go! Time Elements is finally dropping-- soon!
Here is the early release just for patrons!

2022-09-26 15:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostHello! I have a fun one today!
One of the popular patron requests is for balloons or zeppelins that can be attached to ships to create airships. I thought this was a great idea and started to work on that one-- and the first step was a hot air balloon.
...of course, after I made the initial shape for one of these, I decided to keep going! I ended up with a nice little collection here and thought tha...

Isn't he cute! At first I wasn't sure about the "o", but it looks like opossum and possum are separate animals. Based on a quick image search that I did, this guy is an opossum!
I have some of these guys that live around my house. They are friends because they helpfully eat harmful insects. Sometimes you can find them in the middle of the night scrounging aro...
2022-09-19 15:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostHello! It's been a while since I released something new for the Elements sprite set. Today I'm dumping a bunch of Elements stuff that I worked on this week.
There's been interest in additional weapons for the Elements set. In the past I've promised these for future releases or patron requests, but this spear I think will be worth adding to the core set.
As I'm putting together t...

2022-09-12 14:29:01 +0000 UTC View PostHello! Today's release is based on a patron request.
I've been wanting to do this one for a while, glad to finally get to this request for today.
The top row of tiles here are intended to fantasy-style mailboxes, which we don't have yet. The modern Time Fantasy set has some mailboxes in it, but these ones took inspiration from the mailboxes in Zelda: Wind Waker. In fact, most of the se...

These were originally a special personal request, but I have permission to share them with the patron group. I hope that you get some enjoyment out of these characters-- I think they are really charming!
The full sheet has four characters on it: it's two original sprites and each one has a second color varia...

They say that foxes are immortal and that after they are 100 years old, they grow additional tails. The more tails a fox has, the more powerful it is. The full-powered kitsune has nine trails and is said to be able to transform into the shape of a beautiful woman.
This one has six tails though. More than that wouldn't look very good at ...
