In the light of the revival of our 1990s game Moon Child, I thought it'd be nice to start a thread with posts featuring my pixel artwork through the years.

Here's my title picture for our 1994 Clockwiser puzzle game for Amiga (OCS and AGA), CD32, MS-DOS and Windows 3.1.

A bunch of pixel icons I made during the development period of Moon Child (1995 - 1997). At the time the coder, Reinier van Vliet, and I worked at a Dutch media company, where we had a semi-independent game development division that was very imaginatively called… The Games Department.

@metin these are really cute! Also encapsulate the exact feeling of 90's. Love it

Some moody pixel paintings (± 1991).

The last image was one of my first concept artworks to establish the atmosphere of our Moon Child game.

@metin Beautiful!

[daniel@social.dhelonious.de]

@metin The atmosphere is very cool! The last one reminds me of the German fairy tale Rumpelstilzchen:

[metin@graphics.social]

@daniel Thanks!

Indeed, a classic fairytale, love it. Over here in the Netherlands it’s called Repelsteeltje.

[metin@graphics.social]

@ooRay_creation Thank you!

[mbt3d@graphics.social]

@daniel @metin I didn't know the original German name for the character, and now I see it written I wonder how badly it was translated into English, chen > skin.

You learn something every day, thanks Daniel!

[mbt3d@graphics.social]

@daniel @metin I think Tinyrumblestilts or Littlerumblestilts would have been a better one.
Diminutive on the end in english is a little tricky without loan words like 'et'
Rumble is easy.

@metin Love this one so simple and yet an interesting commentary.

[metin@graphics.social]

@mbt3d Thanks Mark! This is one of those styles I should revisit more often. But so much fun stuff to do, so little time.

[mbt3d@graphics.social]

@metin Oh! I get that
