I was hired to design and animate a twitch live stream screen themed after the city Coruscant from Star Wars. We went in the pixel art direction to achieve that ambient feeling, almost as if it’s a cozy night in the big city. My hope was to capture that feeling of almost wanting to visit this place, even though it doesn’t exist (which is the fun part!)
Every single element you see has been drawn from scratch (without AI) and completely designed by me, with the inspiration of the actual location of course. The language or symbols you see on the signs is the actual language this universe uses! (saying things like Bar, Food, Eat, etc.)
Animation was all done by me as well, I’m still getting the hang of it and I hope it looks natural. There are multiple subtle animations that may even be hard to notice off first glance, if you find them all let me know!
This project took over 50 hours according to Procreate and Pixquare (pixel art app) and man I’m so proud of how this came out. This project was a hellish rollercoaster of emotions and struggles (about 6 months) but it’s finally finished and I’ve learned SO much from making this. More animations similar to this will be in the making soon, I need to make more of these they’re so cool.
If you read this far, thank you.

For the past few months I've been working as a thumbnail artist for @waligug_ !
I wanted to showcase what I've been up to, I've got some dope things in the works and will be around a lot more often :D
(also people keep commenting that his thumbnails are AI so I'll be posting more about them lol <3)
