Somni's art thread

Somnivore

Hello boys and girls. Here I will be posting some of my work from over the years. I've been a graphics artist much longer than I've been anything else, having started when I was a very young teen; I'd say it's been maybe 12 years that I've been refining my skill, off-and-on of course. I feel very fortunate to have done this, as I don't know how I'd get by in game dev without it, though I never thought I would become so involved with game dev up until a few years ago.

Very cool artwork in here, I especially love the Charles the cat sprite-sheet(I mean it's obviously concept art, but imagine a 2d game that looks like it, that is cool!).

@Megalomaniak Hey thanks man; that was indeed meant to be a concept for a game that was essentially going to be a Metal Slug-ish roguelite. I needed to figure out how I would split the upper-body animations from the legs so that Charles could walk and shoot with ease, much like it's done in Metal Slug. I would've likely not strayed far from how it's depicted here, however; I have an irrational hatred for pixel art in contemporary games :p

Stills from my latest project, "Daisychains"; it's inspired by WarioWare, in the sense that the core gameplay revolves around minigame rushes and cutscenes.

Also, some concepts for the characters:

I am enjoying your crisp line work and the color choices for the flat shading. Really nice stuff.

do you get art commissions here by posting your artworks?

Megalomaniak

@isoovak that's what the professional trade forum is for, and certainly people can PM with offers too but I would say the community here is perhaps still a tad small, you can find an occasional commission from here(I have) but I wouldn't expect them to be coming in steady streams.

Now I'd appreciate if you stopped spamming the same thing in different users topics all over again, ok?
