Pixel artist looking to help out.

I'm a hobbyist pixel artist and serial tinkerer with game engines based in the UK, with a background in traditional art, looking to help out. I saw the recent Indie Game Clinic video about the month long collab jam and thought it would be fun to get a bit of experience working in a team.

I've spent my spare time pixeling for years now. Here's my PixelJoint gallery https://pixeljoint.com/p/221123.htm I use Aseprite and occasionally Gimp. I have some experience of pushing art into engines. I've dipped into Gamemaker, Twine, Godot and various other engines (old school UnrealEd 2,  NeverwinterNights, Doom, Quake 3 and other retro games) over a number of years. A few of my things are even finished! https://evens.itch.io/

I haven't got any professional experience in games, but I do have time over the course of April and can put in a few hours a day. That should be enough to polish off any number of pixel art assets and help relieve the burden of asset creation on a programmer/designer.

ooh i like your art, i’m curious for the story behind that partisan piece, it has intrigued me

right now i’m not sure of my status of being on a team or not, so i’m looking again

The 'Partisan' image was from an unused twine game idea where you go around meeting various factions in a scifi world. I'd worked some of the concepts into pixel art later.   Like I said I'm more interested in general in the art side of games than anything else at the moment... Also haven't found a team.

if you'd like, i joined this group. we're doing a pre-jam project and there's two generalists also doing a little pixel art, in a sorta bosch/papers please aesthetic, if that interests you.

Thanks for the tip! I'll see what they say, though it looks like you might be oversubscribed already as far as artists go.
