Creating pixel art is a relativly new art style for me but it has quickly become something I truly enjoy making. Experimenting with landscapes, character designs and colour to create Pixel art I can be proud of.
At the start of the year, I made Pixel art posters for Uni. Creating these has been eye-opening as it has caused me to become inspired to make more poster-like pixel pieces. These are some of my favourites, I’ve put them in order of creation so you can see my improvement.

I have been making Pixel illustrations during the year based on my mood. One of the illustrations I particularly like from this series is “I can’t take it anymore”, as I created it while dealing with struggles in my relationship.
This animation is based on my life during covid, during my first year of uni 2020-21. The animation features changes that when on overtime and is focused on me at my computer in my uni room.
This was a passion project of mine, and I love the results to this day! All the small details make this animation one of my favourite pieces, as it shows what my life was like during that time, from the ham and cheese paninis to the gaming marathons.

Like most artists, I’m inspired by the media I consume so I want to bring it to life within my own work. Alot of my bursts of insperation come from anime and comedy tv shows as they hold my imagination hostage while watching them. Allowing me to understand what goes into a good, interesting character.

As a fan of the occult, I enjoy illustrating animal skulls simply because they look cool. The way light hits the various curves and gets lost in the depths of the skull really inspires me. Whenever I create with skulls as my inspiration I always fall in love with the end result.
This piece and the piece above are illustrations I created during the at peace brief for the Batsford prize competition. All the experimentation I created for that brief are pieces that I continue to draw inspiration from as they exude wholesome earthy aesthetics.
