Talvassus
// An imagination of the feeling of being home yet unsettled, untethered yet restricted, grateful yet unsatisfied, comfortable yet in doubt. The day is ending when you feel like there's still something you needed to do; but you can't remember what it is. Shadows are growing but there seems to be nothing trying to threaten you.

// An exact rerendering and slight atmosphere shift of Hypixel's Skywars map Atlas, from the video game Minecraft.
// Made at the request of a friend for a new YouTube banner.

Durr
// Made as a birthday gift for a friend. This is his original character rendered through the style of my drawing. An opportunity to experiment with shading and eye reflections.

Burgundy Bomber
// My contribution, of an original character of my own, to a rock themed art collaboration in 2020 which can be viewed here. He tried to go retro, but being the Gen Z that he is, he didn't quite get it.

Username: PieSamurai
// An imagination of the character for my username PieSamurai, an often confused yet determined old computer taking the form of a monitor for his head and a mechanical robot for his body. He runs on Windows XP. He is also found in the form of a Minecraft skin.

Username: Oxeir
// A reimagination of what a friend's Minecraft skin might look like as a cartoon character. The face was a real challenge to construct.
// Made at his kind request for a new profile picture after noticing mine of PieSamurai. He had a matching green cape on at the time.

// This Minecraft skin was made for a friend, to go along with the game Minecraft I gifted him as well. This is an original character of his, and my attempt to reconstruct him within the limitations of pixelation. Working on this gave me an opportunity to really think about what's significant and what's negligible, and how much one small unit influences the whole piece. A variety of unconventional and experimental approaches needed to be taken to render what doesn't inherently work with pixelation in a way that still looks pleasant to the eyes.

So You Can See Them Too
// I have a wide variety of things I’ve been keeping
solely in my mind. A lot of the time, I find it tricky to organize
those fragments of thought into something I can truly share with
others to let them experience the same emotions I did. I’ve imagined
so much I wanted to share but the limitations of reality always seem
to make it fall short—
for now.
