Random Characters Doing Random Things
Sometimes, when I have a few minutes of spare time, I do a little experimentation. Often, the outcome is slightly silly, albeit in a wonderful sort of way.
This is one of those things.

This is one of those things.
Stan The Salesman, the fast-talking, finger-snapping and foot-tappingest entrepreneur encountered throughout the classic “Monkey Island” adventure game series, now given his very own 23 x 27 pixel mini-tribute.
Is there anything he hasn’t tried to sell at some point ?
Is it a boy ? Is it a girl ? All we know is that it’s the latest cuddly crochet creation to hit the PixelBlock store - the ever wonderful Mr Saturn from Nintendo’s “Mother” series !
Measuring in at an adorably compact 2 1/2 Inches tall (4 inches if you count the hair!), this little bundle of yarn-based joy features it’s very own set of hand-twirled poseable whiskers, pudgy nose and hand-knit bowtie, making him one of the most eminently huggable aliens you are ever likely to meet.
Put him on your desk ! Leave him on your sofa ! Just don’t leave him near the coffee machine. Saturnian Coffee always has a little bit of a funny aftertaste …
Also comes with a FREE 1 1/2 inch tall sticker of the Pixelblock-ified version - as featured on the Pixelblock Tumblr blog.
Want one ? Check it out now - only available on the PixelBlock Etsy Store !

Thanks for looking !
This little space fellow was actually another concept avatar for that “BoomSplosion” game idea, but one that never quite panned out.
I resurrected him and changed him slightly as part of another concept for some game design students I’m working with, but alas he once again met a terrible fate.
Maybe one day I’ll find something for him to do …
I get a few inquiries about doing some Avatar work from time to time, so I thought I’d go ahead and try out something new.

Adam Jensen, the perpetually grumpy Head of Security for Sarif Industries and cybernetically-enhanced hero of “Deus Ex : Human Revolution”, now given an updated 13 x 25 pixel makeover.
He didn’t ask for this, but then again he says that about everything.
A Bantha, the infamously hairy beast of burden from the “Star Wars” Universe, now rendered in it’s own very tiny 28 x 28 pixel scene.
Who doesn’t love a tiny Bantha ?
Alice, the rather lost young heroine of Lewis Carroll’s psychadelic novel “Alice In Wonderland”, now rendered in a tiny 18 x 26 pixel size based on her “Disneyfied” cartoon version.

Sodom, the Japan-obsessed leader of the Mad Gear Gang from “Final Fight” and playable combatant in “Street Fighter Alpha 3”, now derezzed to a tiny 18 x 26 pixel resolution.
I was kind of sad that he never made the transition over to Street Fighter 4. Maybe next time …
Ness, the PSI-empowered young adventurer and hero of the quirky Super Nintendo RPG “EarthBound” (aka “Mother 2” in Japan), now derezzed to an ultra tiny 16 x 23 pixel resolution.
A lot of people remark about how my sprites look similar to those from “Mother”, so I thought this would be rather appropriate. : )
Here’s a 17 x 24 pixel Christmas Elf !
Krystal, the Cerinian telepath and newest member of Team Starfox, now derezzed to a tiny 16 x 23 pixel resolution.

Fox McCloud, the incredibly talented Arwing pilot, leader of Team Starfox and main hero of Nintendo’s “StarFox” series, now shrunk down to a relatively tiny 16 x 23 pixel resolution sprite.

PaRappa The Rapper, the lyrically masterful beanie wearing canine and eponymous star of Sony’s “PaRappa The Rapper” series of music games, now derezzed to a moderately small 24 x 30 pixel resolution.
It was a simpler time …
