Most of you know me for my low resolution art but today im here to bring you some low resolution music.

If you enjoy the sound of hardware malfunctioning, engines exploding, or nuclear bombs being dropped on crowds of unsuspecting mothers and children screaming and gasping for air while their flesh is melted, you may enjoy this album.

I recommend that you play this album in a really beat up old car and crank the bass all the way up, it may help smother out my shrieking.

I used a new experimental technique to enhance my screaming for this album. You see it's recommended that you dont smoke or eat anything before doing vocals so I opted to eat several chili dogs and smoked half a pack of cigarettes and taken several bong rips before each session, sometimes even while recording.

In all seriousness I've wanted to be in a musical project my entire life and I'm excited to see where this goes.

Our full album is available for listening on youtube right now, and will available on streaming platforms on July 1st.

I know ive been a ghost for a while now, ive been busy working on SK and getting my life together in general.

I had some pixels planned for today but as per usual I fucked up my own deadline and will have to post them another time.

To those of you who are posting pixel art today, I commend you! There are SO MANY of you talented little shits out there and I love you all to death for creating and sharing your art during such a weird time in history.

I may return with pixels soon, I may return with pixels in a few years, there's no telling anymore lol.

Happy pixel day! Stay creative my friends!

Greetings Newgrounds :>

We now have a moving character for Sleepless Knights!

I'm currently building an animation pipeline with great help from a wizard named Ross.

We are experimenting with Unity 3D and Blender to quickly animate 8 directional characters while still maintaining a nice pixel aesthetic.

I create sprites using pixel art and Ross, our 3D animator, then takes the sprite into blender and creates a lowpoly model over it.

We then use a combination of shaders and other post processing effects to re-pixelate the character.
Or next step in this experiment is baking textures from the sprite onto the model and adjusting the shader to accommodate the details and such.

This allows me to create pixel concepts at whatever resolution I want and not have to worry about how much energy/time it would take to create an 8 directional character with lots of detail. Another effect we would like to add to the models is stepping, which would cut out frames of the 3D animation to give it a 2D animated appearance.

More technical updates from Ross:
Parry Collider fixed (now opens on a timer) *Open Parry flag enemy state added *parry attack animations (proxy) added. working for now (will need tailoring, values tweaked later). *fixed .blend presets and camera settings for Shomari *Backstab detection and action added (needs debugging). *updated left handed input (added deep copy function) *Backstab bugfix (thank fuck, one mistyped line of code eventually identified). *Code cleanup for backstab and interactions (cut down about 200 lines of code). *Built Icongenerator in unity *starting to integrate placeholder ui.

Support Sleepless Knights on Patreon!

Hello Newgrounds!

I am now on Patreon!

As some of you may remember I mentioned that I was working on my own personal game project with the help of some very talented friends.

Sleepless Knights is a 2.5D  procedurally generated hack n slash dungeon crawler set in the mental world.

So far Ive been working on this project in my free time out of my own pocket. Ive caught a snag in the development process involving my slow/old computer not being able to run Unity or Blender.

Because of this and the long running financial issues ive faced while working on this project, ive set up a Patreon so I can focus my energy and time on its development.

By supporting Sleepless Knights you can gain access to pixel art tutorials and exclusive updates on my art.

In the future I would also like to do video tutorials and twitch streams, thought my current computer wont allow that.

Ive waited to ask for this sort of help until now, because ive never felt the need for it. I could manage on my own.

Now I'm asking for help because I desperately need it and would do a lot with it.

We are VERY close to FINALLY having a working moving game after all these years beating my head against a wall. What currently stands in my way is purely finacial issues. My poor health doesnt allow me to hold down a day job, so ive been overworking myself on underpaid freelance projects from home just to make ends meet.

Those of you familiar with my work here on Newgrounds may recognize some of the characters and worlds in Sleepless Knights. Nearly every character Ive uploaded to the Art Portal lives in the world of Sleepless Knights, and I'm very excited to show you how all of they all collide.

Thank you for reading this and please consider supporting the Patreon! If you cant afford to donate, every share is extremely helpful!

Hi all, as you may have already seen I'm the official artist for Squidly's new game Renaine! I came in to the project a bit late and while the demo on Newground does a great job at showcasing the gameplay, it doesnt even come close to the sort of exploration in pixel art we will be embarking on now that I'm on board. 

Keep a look out for a special update post tomorrow.

Thank you all for the astounding support so far and thank you to newgrounds for the support as well.

I'm going to get back to work now.

Happy pixel day everyone! I'm glad you all survived 2016 so you could be here to celebrate with all the rest of us. 

Today we are completely taking over newgrounds with pixel art, games, chiptune and more. Its always such a pleasure to see everyone's creations, especially from those of you that dont often work with pixel art.

As you can see right now the site skin is the same as last year, but keep your eyes peeled later on today for some changes and maybe even a few announcements. 

The skin is based on a picture of mine, called Unrest. Posters have been in demand for a while, so I'm REALLY glad to let you all know that I an finally start shipping these out.

The prints are 11x17 on a nice thick cardstock paper, if you have a preference for another paper let me know and I can likely work with you. The normal price of the posters is usually $30 USD but to celebrate there will be a 50% sale until the very second the site skin is changes, after that there will be some more exciting news on Carrion related merch. That makes the posters 15 bucks!!! I think cigarettes cost that much now! Grab a print quick and kill off one of your nasty habits all at once!
