I have been freelancing for two, exciting years, while adjusting to the work field and my new pixel art teaching job at Scuola di Comics in Florence! In 2026, other than streaming and experimenting more with 3D and animation, I would love to consider a studio position for pixel art gamedev!

#PortfolioDay - and a little pitch, may I? I am Alessandro, an italian artist with 15+ years experience in pixels, a penchant for tilesets, top-down view, monsters and adventures! I left my main occupation in movie art dept (set design) in late 2023 to pursue full-time #pixelart. Ch-ch-ch-changes!

Had this idea in mind for a SOTN in GameBoy for a while. Finally got time + motivation to actually get it done! #pixelart #castlevania #sotn

It's Mario VS Donkey Kong in this mini-Mario maelstrom of action! | #pixelart | #Gameboy

#portfolioday I'm Christopher and I dream in Gameboy Color :]

Merry Christmas for those that enjoyed my first asset pack :] I'm working on some battle sprites to go along with it #gbstudio #nesdev #pixelart #ドット絵

Mommy's going for a walk, hun. #pixelart #ドット絵

Feeling a mighty need to try making a game with this, sadly programming is not for me 🥲 #pixelart

Old comm I did back in the day

Hey!! Small reminder that the "Pocket RPG" assets have a 60% discount (70% if you buy the bundle) in my itch shop for the next week! I'd appreciate it if you could share this <3 Link-> itch.io/s/151604/poc... #pixelart #gamedev

Does this look good enough? 🥲 #pixelart

Testing some gameplay for fun. Implemented Dynaman's stage from my old Megaman DOS project into my makeshift movement engine. I've stuck mostly to the NES's tile and palette restrictions, but I don't put limits on animations. For now I'm just messing around. #pixelart #ドット絵 #megaman

✨ Flower Shop ✨ #pixelart

Zelda NES run animation

Just a bit of gameplay from Nitronauts (demo out now on steam). I had so much fun art directing and animating everything

#screenshotsaturday for my #platformer ... working on the hanging mechan ... ooops ...

felt like pushing pixels around today ✨ #pixelart #ドット絵

Reposting this Gameboy demake I made of "Severed", still really like both the colors and how I manage to cram all the game in this resolution!

Test

Moonlight #pixelart

🤔I think it woks #gbstudio

The Legend of Peach

I dunno man I think this map needs more rain animations #PixelArt #IndieGame #EmberHearts

Thrash 🎸🔥 #pixelart #aseprite

Floor 2

Welcom to dungeon

Some character portraits from Mina the Hollower and their sprite counterparts 🐭

Goblen need cofe

Hey even more old art! This is Hammerhead and Sal from a really really old project of mine from 2014 called CYBERSHARK PUNCHER, which ended up being my first attempt at a game in gamemaker! This art is way more recent. I should practice at this scale more I think #pixelart #ドット絵

Testing "shadeless" rendering with MagicaCSG :) Of course, it's a goblin.

More 32x32 sprites. Randi/ Boy from Secret of Mana.

Character Designs #pixelart

Zelda, Ganon and the Princess NES redraw

Forest at night. Made with #OhNoMoreGoblins x3.

more pokemon I like in NES style

Hi eveyone, it's been almost 2 months since I last posted here (I think?). But I wanted to give you a fun challenge if you wanna join me: Making a character you like on a 32x32 canvas, that is the only limitation, here is a WIP of a Samus redesign I did on my style for the example!

(I can't remember when I last drew for the simple pleasure, so this was a welcome break. 🫠)

something has to work

This is absolutely insane

There has been some debate over whether bluesky is good for game promotion or whether actual consumers are here. As a test, last week we did two posts with mid-level performance - one from the company account, one from mine - and got ~900 wishlists. There was no other promo elsewhere. Pretty solid.

Heyas no #screenshotsaturday this week because instead I have a teaser trailer and a store page up on Steam! Now people can finally find a place to wishlist the game! #gamedev #survivalhorror store.steampowered.com/app/3354930/...
