Melons, à la “A Link to the Past” (2019)

, ,

I animated this, frame by frame, from September 2019 to November 2019. It required a slow and measured pace, but was very fun to complete.

It’s based on the title screen for the Super Nintendo classic The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. This was a commission for a friend’s project which was inspired by this post on the r/OddlySatisfying subreddit. Done entirely in Aseprite.

Don’t ask about her melons.

NEPA Tech Presentation: From Zero to Hero

My presentation for NEPA Tech, recorded September 24, 2019, where I talk about starting Wallace.dog, getting into pixel art, and getting over excuses. This was fun to make and present, as I used a lot of animation and interaction with the slides throughout.

During the presentation, I gave an overview of myself as an artist and designer, then did an overview of my major project—Wallace.dog—that showcased my best animations up to that point. For the main portion of my presentation, I dove into the special rules-based approach that I used to get started with pixel art and animation.
