Elements Backpacks

Hello! I hope you had a good weekend. I'm back to show off another patron pre-release!

I've previewed some other pieces from the upcoming Elements expansion: the witch hat, the gun, etc. Today's release shows o...

Cloud City Tileset Expansion

Hello! Today's post is based on a patron suggestion.

A few years ago I released this Cloud City tileset as a free expansion for the Time Fantasy series. 

Being one of the freebie releases, it was a small one-- it was always meant to be useful maybe for a single area in...

Elements Gun

Hello! Today I have something new: based on patron suggestions for inclusion in the upcoming Elements character expansion set.

(Forgive the lack of animated gif preview like I usually do for these, Patreon is being very unfriendly this morning! I couldn't embed, but here's a link to it View Post

Fall Pine Trees

Hello! It's the first release of November! I have some new tile variations for you today.

These ones were inspired by the pine trees that I see in real life! Some of the pine trees around here have these patches of browning needles in the fall, and it makes for a really pretty look. It gave me the idea to put together these tile variations for today's patron release!

Although we think of pin...

End of Month October 2023

Hello, Happy Halloween! Be safe out there if you go out tonight! Let's review our productivity from this October:

Patron Releases:

The Baba Yaga's Hut

Hello! Today's SPOOKY release is based on some popular patron suggestions!

WOOOO SPOOOOKY!

(NOTE -- This is the release that I meant to make yesterday but got delayed-- I was able to spend this morning/afternoon on it and just finished it now; so I'm gonna publish it immediately! View Post

oops

Hi, this post is a little quick update.

UPDATE: I finished it today after all! Ended up being delayed until the later afternoon, but better than waiting until the next day! Check out the Baba Yaga hut.

Just letting you know that today's regular release will be ready sometime this weekend instead of this morning.

Whirlpools Big and Small

Hello! Today's release is based on a patron request.

The small whirlpool here is the one that I originally created for my Open RPG tileset series. Based on the patron suggestion, I made a brand new larger version that spans 2x2 tiles.

I thought this was a good request because it gave me an opportunity to ...

The Witch's Hut

Hello! Today's release is based on a patron request.

So this seemed like a fun request because it gave me the opportunity to make more of a unique setpiece than a typical tileset. 

I decided to handcraft this overgrown, moss-covered witch's hut. I started with some old existing tiles and then added a lot of customized unique details to it. It should stand out as a memorable location in your game world! View Post

Demoness

Hello~ Today's release is based on a patron request.

What do you call a character that's both spooky and sexy... spooxy? 🤣

Whatever you call her, I hope that this new sprite is useful for your game project. This one was based on a patron request and I thought it was a good idea as we go into the Halloween season and we'll be thinking about monsters.

She's in the classic Time Fantasy st...

Japanese Dragon Side View

Hello! Today's release expands on the one from earlier in the week.

I wasn't planning on adding more to the dragon, but there were some suggestions from patrons who wanted a side-angle version. I realized that this could be useful especially if he's used as a boss, and this could work as a side-view monster. So I went ahead and put this together for today's release.

The basic idea is the ...

Japanese Dragon

Hello! Today's post is based on a patron request!

This was a popular patron request and it seemed like a fun challenge. I'm happy with how he came out.

I hope that you can find a use for him!

This guy is made using two separate assets: first off, the main thing is the animated head. He actually has two animation variants: one like above with the closed mouth, and then a version with...

More War Elementals

Hello! I have another sheet with new war elemental designs for you today.

Today's release is a companion set that expands on the War Elementals that I shared on Tuesday.

Here are four more designs-- more feminine, as counterparts to the original set. Like the previous release, this sheet includes recolors: making for a total of eight new character sprites.

I hope that you have a use for these!

War Elementals

Hello! I think this is a fun one!

So these things were originally a special commission request-- some elemental-themed war robot sprites. But there's been other patron requests for more robots, and I thought that these could have all sorts of uses, and not necessarily as robots either (I could see the armor working just fine in a fantasy setting too)-- especially as enemies. 

So I got permission to r...

End of Month September 2023

It's the end of another month. Let's recap our productivity:

New Animals:

NPC Crowd

Hello! Today's release is based on a patron request.

When I saw this request, I immediately thought that it was an awesome idea. And super useful-- there's a lot of scenarios where a crowd like this would make sense. Not just the arena or a theater, or other sequences which would have an audience, but they could be generally useful for locations like a crowded market...

And it looks a lo...

Directional Push Blocks

Hello. I have a simple one, but hopefully useful, for you today.

You might have seen that my internet has been inexplicably down this week. The company says that they won't be able to get someone out here until next week-- which is pretty brutal for someone who relies on this stuff. I guess that's the downside of living out in the country.

So today's release is a simple one that I didn't...

Smaller Forges (single tile width)

Hello! Today's new release is an update that expands on last week's blacksmith forge tiles.

So-- you'll remember the crafting workbench and the anvil releases. They came with two versions: the regular full-sized versio...

Blacksmith's Forge

Hello! Today I have another new release is based on a patron request.

I was excited to make this one because it goes well with some previous releases that have to do with smithing and crafting:

Spider Eggs

Hello! Today's release is based on a patron request.

I think these came out pretty good. I hope you find these to be useful.

Like all of my tile add-ons, these are arranged in a simple grid so that you can easily add them into any tileset.

I made two variations to match both tileset styles. Check them out in these screenshots I made:

Hello! Today we finish up this little set of animal sprites.

Bushbaby

Badger and Butterflies

Hello! I hope you are having a pleasant week.

I'm back with some more animals, just like I promised in yesterday's post.

I've actually made butterflies before (and I think these were even packaged into the Animals 2 set)...

Giraffe

Hello! I hope you're having a good week.

So there was no post on Monday because of Labor Day, so this week is gonna be back-loaded to make up for it. I think I have some cool stuff here for you.

Today's release is a big ol giraffe sprite.

I wonder if this release is... un-NECK-xpected!

End of Month August 2023

For some reason this month feels like it went by really quickly... maybe that's because student loan payments start again at the end of it 😫😫😫

Let's review this month's productivity:

Patron Club Releases:

Overworld Mini Chocobos and Raptiles

Hello! Today's release is based on a patron request.

We're not quite sure if I made these before or not... when you're released as many assets as I have, it's hard to keep track. So I decided to just go for it, and fill this request anyway! 😁

The full-sized sprites can be found in these previous posts:

Elements Witch Hat

Hello! I'm back today with a new piece for the Elements character set.

This one was a request from quite some time ago-- now that I'm back to working on this set, it was a priority for me to complete this one.

It's a new hat in the style of the traditional "witch hat". Like most Elements pieces, it comes with a bunch of color variants.

Elements New Skin Tones + A Head

Don't get "a head" of yourself! Hahahahahahhaha!

Things are (more or less) finally back on track around here, so I'm getting back to those new Elements pieces. Today is a small one, but it's something that there's been a lot of interest in, so I'm glad to share it with you today.

I came up with new skin tone palettes for the Elements set!

These will be included in...
