The next in the series of sprites for Aaron Pinsky’s “Sheol” is here! The new sprite is Fredrick Steinwald, a man who gets into the tournament to do more than just kick in some heads. Click the preview pic over there to see the full Sheol sprite page and learn about the character. This was my favorite design so far because, hey, it’s a ninja. You know how I am.

I’m splitting work between the next website (currently putting the finishing touches on the layouts and WP theme), this site and ScrollBoss, so updates for both existing sites will be a bit slow and low sometimes. My first fan-art sprite of 2012 at about 97% right now and will be ready in time for both the next Illmosis and ScrollBoss updates next week.

(edit 2012 Jan 24) – The Ms. Pac-Man gallery page was fixed by adding the link to the wallpapers. Yes, I feel stupid about messing that up. Click the picture below to download the pack with 1024 x 768, 1280 x 1024 & 1440 x 900 wallpapers.

Why did I just happen to notice this? Tune in next week to find out.

New Twofold crossover pic! Click the small picture to see and learn more! I also added some of the old filecards I drew for my characters back in the 1990′s. The new cards include Beatdown (in her original outfit) along with two villains who haven’t been posted here before: Chill and Fisticuffs. I also threw in another “Bug-Out” character named Monty Carlo.

“This is serious, P. Those things you saw up there? Those G–tst—ers? Them herbs ain’t even the worst. You stepped into some ish you can’t step out of because, one way or another, they’ll get all of us if we don’t fight back. Not now, but right now. If you wanna crawl back into bed, go back to dreamin’ and die in your sleep, well, that’s on you. But if you want to learn how to fight ‘em… you came to the right dude.”

BTW: The Passion Tanaka sprite from last week is part of this week’s ScrollBoss update. That update also includes a downloadable pack filled with the unfinished sprite edits (new sprites edited out of old sprites) for the cancelled Baroness project.

Sorry for last week’s lack of newness but I was working on quite a few things (along with trying to get some rest on Thanksgiving). The Passion Tanaka sprite was almost done last week, but not done enough to show. Check out the gallery page for it by clicking on the small picture preview in this post. The other new thing is a commission pic I drew for XuhanShi on deviantART (and it’s posted here with full permission).

The Passion Tanaka sprite will hit ScrollBoss (and the fake screenshot generators) in that site’s update next week. Expect a few more new sprites of my characters to join her.

I’m still working on a commission, but I managed to sprite something that I’ve wanted to make for a long, long time.

edit: the new Nutroll sprite and mini-logo can now be used in the Graphic Generators on ScrollBoss.

I’m very, very sorry for the long gap of time without updates. I just added scratch-made sprites from last week’s giant ScrollBoss site update: A Metroid, Firebrand (from Capcom’s G’nG series and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3), Robin (classic outfit) and another Elevator Action Deluxe agent sprite.

I planned to do some art on the site to update this site along with with getting the upgrade for the ScrollBoss generators done AND getting the War Begins Again work started but October was a tough, hectic month. As big as that ScrollBoss update was, there was supposed to be even more than that. Yes, really. I’ll have to re-arrange the project schedule on some of it and save them for bigger things. I still can’t promise a weekly schedule again just yet but I’ll try to stay close to it. Happy Halloween!

… Aquaman, King of the Seven Seas. The epic theme song and interesting undersea setting hooked me but I think I was drawn to the idea of being able to creatively solve problems AND punch bad guys in the grill. Today is the 70th anniversary of his first comic book and a website called the Aquaman Shrine is celebrating in full force. I’ll celebrate here by posting my own Aquaman stuff:

While I’m at it, here’s a fake Vs. screenshot with Aquaman vs. Black Manta from the ScrollBoss GFX Generator. I used Capt. America as a base for Aquaman and Cyclops for Manta.

I don’t have much to show off this time. I’ve been working on different things and I’ll show previews of them in a bit. The one new thing you’ll see is that the Elevator Action Deluxe sprite now has a mini-logo with it. I worked on a few mini-logos to bulk up the ScrollBoss update stew so the return update will be a big one. Converting pre-existing logos into mini-logos and making some from scratch must’ve been good practice for making my own logos designs. I think I’ve done at least one a week for the past month. Here’s one I’m working on for the Ace of Clubs:

Here’s something from a design sketch for another character in the same universe as Exemplar:

Then there’s the thing…
