Spriter and illustrator from Spain. Nintendo fan since forever and basically the reason I started drawing as well, so expect many fanarts from me. I also want to show sketches more often in the future.

efejotart's News

Posted by efejotart - June 29th, 2021


First of all, here's a quick link to the list I'm using to keep track of which games to pixelart next.


With that out the way, lots of stuff has been happening in these months. The end of the last year and start of this new one were pretty bumpy for personal reasons but things got much more calm in the next few months as I managed to focus more on building my illustration portfolio and working on pixelarts for my projects and other clients. But then during the spring I had a pretty nasty fall and had to stay still for almost two months. Thankfully the summer has been kind to me so far and I'm recovering well, being able to work and play again even if I need to be careful.


Anyways, what I wanted to express the most in this post is gratitude to the community here. Everytime I post my work on this site I receive a lot of support and it feels very encouraging. I work mostly for personal growth and to show appreciation for media I enjoy, but having that extra push is something that really helps me and reminds me of my early days at deviantArt (which is still there, but becomes less enticing to use with each update.)

Again, thank you all.


That moment back during the spring made me realize something though: I can't relay entirely on commissions for my income because there's some days where I won't be able to work for one reason or another, so I opened a Ko-Fi. If you have found joy in any way thanks to my artworks I'd love if you supported me, even if just once. I can assure you it would give me a boost of motivation, specially in those days where it's hard to get started with anything.


Apart from all of this, I have been working on various projects. First of all, DimWiddy's Latka. I moved from doing just animations for the MC to making sure that all the NPCs had at least one or two actions. It's been pretty fun since their designs are very varied and it feels like working on a high quality GBC project. I posted a few of them on my tumblr if you want to check them out! I usually hang out on the project's discord a lot too.


There's also a few personal projects I wanted to keep working on. Namely, my different OCs (I had two different settings I wanted to keep exploring, both visually and as a road to explore concepts ) and I also wanted to draw a card deck but have been postponing it a bit because of what happened at the end of last year. Hopefully I can get that done in the summer too. Early in the year I also started a short game project with some friends. We'd love to have it running someday too and share it here on newgrounds! And of course, the "pixelart from games I played" project is still running.


I'm looking forward to keep working on my illustrations and projects this year as I keep doing the pixelart characters on the side, so I hope you find it all interesting!

Feel free to leave me any suggestions if you'd like to see my art take any directions in particular, or go ahead and ask for a commission if you feel like it. See you all.

I hope you all have been well!


First things first, last weekend I worked on a 48-hours game jam doing most of the art for the game. The project itself was really fun, but in the end the time limit was too much for us and the build we released had very important game breaking flaws that made it impossible to have a normal playthrough from start to finish. If you'd like to check it out already you can do so, but I'm waiting for the programmer to iron the flaws before (mainly the fact that you start with 0 health and that game over doesn't trigger) so I can share it around proudly, and maybe even upload it here! If it didn't happen for some reason I'd still share the assets, though.


A month ago I shared here a list of all the games I finished this year with the intention to make a pixel challenge like on 2018 and 2019, but I have decided to take it slow and postpone that into next year. Instead, I want to finish my beastars collage in the coming days. I have drawn around 40 characters so far and I'd like to reach something between 50 and 60 before considering it finished. No characters from Beast Complex since I haven't read that yet, though. If you want, you can see me working on them under these speedpaints: Part 1 - Part 2


On other news I have been working on extra animations for @dimwiddy's LATKA this year and I want to keep doing more since they don't take me that long to do, but that's another reason why I wanted to postpone the pixel challenge.


I'd like to focus my 2021 on finding new job oportunities. I want to work on Illustration and pixel art for books, board games or videogames, so if you learn about some project looking for artists I'd love to know. I also intended to crowdfund a little project Super Mario-related once I finish drawing all the pieces. You can check it out on my deviantArt, but I plan to give more details anyways early next year anyways.


All in all, I got a bunch of small projects so I wanted to take the time to finish them. I like doing spontaneus stuff as well and I'm still open for art commissions so I might end up sharing some random drawings unrelated to what I mentioned here today, but at least now you know what to look forward to. If you read until here, thanks! And have a great day.

Here's the list of games I have finished each year according to my backloggery. Whenever I do more pixel characters I'll be pulling from this list. The task seems a bit daunting, considering that the other two times I tried to do 25 games for each year and that the list could reach 50 if I keep the pace, so I might need to be more selective this time.

Are any of these a game that you would really like to see featured?

Since I had a lot of my streams from twitch and picarto stored on my hard-drive I figured I'd put some of them as speedpaints on my youtube. I'll be posting something "new" every weekend, so please take a look:

youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsjxu-GRr3MjPdVkIxXnMdOBWRG3lGJrt


Of course, you can also catch me on twitch to see it happen live!

twitch.tv/fjlink

From now on I'll try to stream the full process whenever it's possible, since it'd be more interesting to see it complete when I eventually post them on YT.
