Second Week Dailies

 Another set of Voxel Dailies.  I need to make more time for my game development projects 😅

Below are the images are the videos I made for Twitter.

 La Pera, I tried to make it have more of a glass type of look with the color.  I liked the way the voxel modeling turned out.

 El Arbol, I was a little intimidated about making an a tree in an hour but I really liked the way it turned out.

 La Bota, I thought this one was going to be easy.  Boots are a weird and difficult shape 😅

 El Barril,  I think I should of tried to make it a bit thinner to improve the video.

Voxel Semi Dailies

 Last year during October I participated in Octobit.  The daily challenges that are month long never interested me because I felt I would get stuck and quit early.  Nonetheless I participated and stayed determined to finish.  After the challenge I noticed how productive I felt and with smaller scale projects I didn't feel too overwhelmed.  For this year I want to attempt to do daily projects however during Octobit I didn't have as much time for my game development.  Instead of doing art everyday I will do 64x64x64 voxel sized models 4 times a week and use the rest of my time on other projects.  For the first project I wanted to make 'Loteria' cards in Magica Voxel.  Here's what I did in the first week.

 The first card is 'La Escalera' it seemed like an simple piece to ease into the semi daily art.

 

 When I was working on 'El Cazo' I felt it looks rather dull in yellows so I used different colors.

 

 I regret making this particular bottle for 'La Botella'.  I love the bottle and beverage but my other cards were created with more colorful and less accurate colors. Next time I'll most likely do a different bottle with more colors.

 

 In the first week 'Las Jaras' was also done with more accurate colors but I like the way it came out.

Enemy Update

 

Quick Peek at the enemy 💀

This week we added the art for the enemy.  The game still needs more thorough testing to see how many enemies will be chasing the player.   I still have to finish coding a few more interactions and add a couple animations but the enemy is close to being complete.

New Year New Projects!

 

Happy New Year 🥂
New Project❗️ Main character Idle 🧔#ScreenShotSaturday #GameDev #MadeWithUnity #Indie #Game #Development #LowPoly pic.twitter.com/e6fzFTH4Zy

— NaCl Studios (@NaClStudios) January 1, 2022

With the new year comes some changes.  I felt stuck and uninterested in the other game project I was working on.  When working on the mobile arcade style shooting game I felt as if I wasn't progressing and even if I finished it, there were 16543531 better versions of that game in the store.  After taking a break from game development and working more on art, I figured I should work on a new game that can be ridiculous and plain fun for me.  Here is that project!  The top video is a close up of the character the player will control.  The bottom video is a preview of the game play.

 

 

Been working on a 🆕 project❗️
Here is some of the character controller using touch 👇

Back to Work!

 

 

 After Octobit I took a break from art to enjoy some time off.  It's now time to start working again.  I will try to finish this Dark Stalkers Arcade cabinet in the next week.  Here is the current WIP.  Made and rendered in Magica Voxel.

Octobit 2021 Day 29 , 30 and 31

 

 "Stained glass"

 The only thing that comes to mind when I hear stained glass is the fight scene between Vicious and Spike in 'Cowboy Bebop'. 

 

 "Gashapon"

 With this subject I wanted to reminisce the simpler times.  I was thinking of making a 'Homies' coin machine or the Tattoo/Sticker one first.  However with the canvas size I like using for OCTOBIT the iconic sticky hand one felt like it would read better.

 

 

"Time's up"

 I wanted to make one more GIF for OCTOBIT and thought the last post would be fitting.  The classic windows waiting hourglass animation was the first thing that came to mind.  After animating all the frames and playing the animation I realized my mistake but decided to keep it call it a wrap to OCTOBIT 2021.

 "Homewrecker"

 This one was especially difficult.  I had spent a couple of hours trying to make my sketch of Miley Cyrus on a wrecking ball be readable.  After much struggle I scrapped it and made a 1 bit wrecking ball instead.

 

"Robot"

 I had been waiting for the chance to make a Servbot.  I still think I will make one for #256fes as well but this sketch was so much fun to make.

Octobit 2021 Day 25 and 26

 

 "Homemade weapon"

 The first thing that came to mind was a baseball bat with nails.  After glancing at what people were posting and seeing a sea of baseball bats I knew I had to change it.  Being a big fan of 'King of the Hill' the next idea I had was Dale's bomb.  In the show he says he can make it with "a roll of toilet paper and a stick of dynamite".  They never show it in the show so this is how I pictured it.

 

"Skull"

 This subject seemed the most straightforward, my first sketch was a Mexican sugar skull.  I wasn't really feeling my first sketch so I decided to scrap it and make something new.  I really like the series 'Dorohedoro' and Ebisu seemed like a better idea.

 "TMNT ripoff"

 Being a 90's kid I absolutely loved this subject.  I really wanted to make a 'Street Shark' but I felt during the week I didn't really have enough time to due it justice. After a quick 'Samurai Pizza Cats' sketch, I liked the result and decided to go with it.

 

 "Cocktail party"

 The first idea I had for this subject was to make a wide shot with Lupin the 3rd and his friends drinking at a bar counter.  After a few failed attempts I decided to make a woman in a martini glass instead.

 "Stupid hat"

Every October/Halloween my sister and I watch 'Over the Garden Wall'.  I absolutely love this short series, when this topic came up 'Wirt' from the show was the first thing I thought of.

 

 "Delivery service"

While thinking of what to make for this topic I had ideas of drones or motorcycles but I was tired and my initial sketches were looking rough.  After hearing what my friend was going to create the "send your cutest delivery boy" meme came to mind.

 "Perfect fit"

This particular subject was difficult due to how vague the theme is to me.  I did however have this idea of the 'Perfect fit sleeves' for various different trading card games.  A couple years ago I was researching TCG.  During some Pokemon TCG videos I kept hearing the uploader say 'perfect fit' while referring to the sleeves.  While sketching it felt like the Pokemon card back wasn't reading too well so I made a Yu-Gi-Oh one instead.

 

 "Cursed item"

 The only thing that came to mind when I read this was Sukuna's finger from the series Jujutsu Kaisen.

 "Sandcastle"

 On this sketch I wanted to go simple.  Looking back I realized I should have tried to make clouds or something else for the background.

 

 "Walking guts"

After seeing the prompt I knew exactly what I wanted to do for this subject.  It seemed like a perfect chance with how simple the animation is to practice animating in photoshop.  I made the iconic walk cycle from Berserk (2016).  I put him behind a green screen so I can place him anywhere.

 "Typical food from your country"

 Food from my country was incredibly hard.  My first two sketches were Enchiladas and Sopes.  After completely failing on them I was tired and frustrated so I made a street taco de carne asada.

 

 "Beware of the dog"

 I absolutely love Cowboy Bebop.  When I saw dog on the prompt I instantly knew I wanted to make Ein.

 "Big Bug"

I absolutely love the show King of the Hill.  When I saw big bug on the prompt I instantly knew I was going to make Dale's Dead - Bug van.

 

 "Matryoshka Dolls"

After double checking and making sure I knew what a matryoshka doll was I wanted to make a food chain theme.  I wasn't sure which food chain exactly but I had an idea for a shark as the largest doll.  After failing a few times I simplified it into the image above.

 "Don't touch"

My first idea for this subject was making a cactus.  While I was gathering reference the idea of making more of a grumpy looking cat seemed more fun.

 

 "Luchador"

 There were too many great luchadors for this prompt so I decided to revive a character from an old game I was working on.  After finishing this "sketch" I feel maybe I should of gone with a Blue Demon or Octagon instead 🤣

Octobit 2021 Day 9 and 10

 

 "Your biggest treasure"

This one was difficult to figure out. I had no idea what I would consider my biggest treasure.  After giving it a lot of thought I wanted to make my 1985 Chrysler Laser.

 

 "Lunchbox"

 Lunchbox was such a fun "sketch".  The first image that came into my head was making my dad's lunchbox.  When I was 5 I remember him having a teal Igloo and always carrying around his Tapatio hot sauce.

Octobit 2021 Day 7 and 8

 

 "Garbage" 

For garbage my initial idea was to make Trubbish from Pokemon.  When I was gathering reference and rough sketching I realized it was looking too much like the sprite so I decided to change it up.  The idea of the boot(trash) from Animal Crossing came to mind after.

 

"Marble" 

This topic didn't appeal too me too much but my first ideas were to make a cat eye marble.  However I figured everyone was going to do some marble art due to Squid Games so I went with a slice of beef.

  "Medical Procedure"

For this theme I was stuck.  My initial "sketch" was an IV bag but it turned out terrible so I scraped the idea.  After being frustrated from my first attempt I thought it would be funny to make a rectal thermometer.

 

 "It came from outer space"

During the day before I got on my computer I was thinking of different ideas involving aliens.  When I was driving home from work a better idea hit me.  Being a big Dragon Ball fan I thought it would be fun to make a 2 bit travel pod.

Octobit 2021 Day 3 and 4

 Day 3 and 4 of Octobit

 "Half Human"

For this theme the first thing that came to mind was Caiman from Dorohedoro.  I absolutely loved the animated series and tried to showcase that admiration that I have for it.  The idea came from one of the Manga panel.

 

 "Latte Art"

This one was a bit tricky due to me not being a coffee drinker.  When I was gathering reference for what to do with this theme I saw a latte with a cat laying on the top.  After many attempts I decided to simplify the cat latte idea and made one peeking out.

Octobit 2021 Day 1 and 2

 I decided participate in Octobit 2021. Here are my day 1 and 2 posts. 

 "You as an action figure"

 This one took quite a while because I scrapped 4 - 5 ideas/sketches.  Ultimately the retro toy robot seemed the most fitting.  Image was originally made on 64 x 64 pixels.

 

 "Origami"

 For the Origami theme I instinctively went with the unicorn from my favorite film Blade Runner.  Image was originally made on 64 x 64 pixels.
