Sprite for Blake, my hyena fursona, in the style of Caves of Qud, a tile based sci-fi roguelike. The style emphasizes heavy use of negative space, and small sprites with a lot of detail even in single pixels. He is half-lidded here, with no pupils, one arm folded behind his back, the other outstretched, as if greeting or conversing. He has a long black skirt, white heeled boots, and a turtleneck sweater that covers the lower half of his face. 3 work in progress versions of this sprite. They show different shapes for almost everything, the eyes also are closed in these versions. Brainstorming/warmup pixel doodles of random objects, creatures, and abstract shapes in the Caves of Qud artstyle. Some forms are more clear than others, like a bird, a handgun, a flower, and some... fish with long legs and heels midstride? Others are less readily discernible. Sketch of Blake on Qud's dark blueish-green background, pointing at the viewer with a smile, and 'holding' a bottle of Metamorphic Polygel spray (it is merely the sprite superimposed onto his open palm). The caption reads 'here some metamorphic polygel, because your epic'

  This one's a bit different!

  I'll probably have some page on my site entirely dedicated to Caves of Qud at some point.... it's so so cool. So cool in fact that I learned some sprite modding... and since it's got hyenas in it already...

The Steam mod link, with lore and character build info!

  This one was so much fun! Learning Qud's art style is a blast, I love the negative space and limited color palette style (although I had to leave the eyeshadow dark to stay within the two-color rule (I think you can break that one though I don't remember lol).

  I intend to do an NPC version also, but my big ambitions for that would require me to learn C#, and the only language I'm familiar with right now is HTML/CSS, and even that is very cursory... (eheh... cursor-y...)

  Older versions and vaguely Qud-resembling pixel art brainstorming included!! (And a surprise, a gift from me to you)
