Back in the first 2025 site update for my ScrollBoss site, Nutroll covered his mask with a sign that said “Not Yet” and then popped up again months later during that site’s 25th anniversary with a sign that had”11-11 illvember” scrawled on it. We’re on the eleventh day of the eleventh month (a few days shy of the site’s anniversary) and now it’s time to start Illvember, a celebration of Illlmosis, and that means I should probably bring this site back to life, right? RIGHT. And to kick that off I’m adding new pixelart of Nutroll and another one of my characters, my first character, M-Wave. M-Wave gets a standing sprite in a new pixel style, but Nutroll? he finally lowers the sign only to show that his mask no longer has a mouth drawn on it. He’s up to something, but I feel like he’ll get it straightened out before the end of this month.
Speaking of which, This Illvember event will be going on ALL MONTH. Every few days I’m going to update out-of-date pixel art gallery pages and add a few new ones. I’ve done A LOT of work over at ScrollBoss and it’s time to start bringing it over here. I’ll also be adding the new Illmosis-related pixel work to the ScrollBoss site. It’s going to be a lot of site work, but it needs to be done. To start that, the other new thing added to the site today was a page for the newer ScrollBoss site characters who mostly debuted while Illmosis was in hibernation. Vonetta, Maddie, Amelia, and Jilly make their debut here in the second new gallery page.
At some point, I’ll post some new line art. Really, I’ve been drawing less detailed line art to scan and turn into pixel art, but not much like the detailed work that I used to post here. Besides concentrating on pixel related stuff, the current state of the internet swallowing up new fodder for slop killed a lot of my desire to show new line art online. But it’ll be back.
Keep an eye out for a lot of updates this month with some new pixel art every week, and maybe Nutroll will fix his mask before we get to December. You’ll see a line art preview of the next sprite if you look at the extras on one of today’s new pages.
Last but definitely not least, Happy Veteran’s Day to all those who served!
