Chipmonk! | Pixel Art & Animation
Various 2D artwork and animations I made for Chipmonk!. I designed and animated most of the characters. I also worked on the majority of the UI, for more on that look here: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/4XyNVl?album_id=9696839
Shaders were used for adjusting HSV values for different variants of the same enemy type. Shadow enemy types, that appear in Revengeance, use a unique shader with pulsating outlines and fading alpha.

The Red Squirrel and Beaver, not shown here, were designed by Andrew Niemi.

Mice, Spear Rat, Club Rat, Flies, and Frosty
The blue/rainbow fly, which awards a 1-up, cycles through various hues via its shader during gameplay.
Original Stickman prototype player, the heroes, including a new one that was being considered as an unlockable character (not in the game). Additionally, a sprite for an alternate idea of the Raccoon, which was also not included in the game.
A few antagonists including the final boss, the Gray Squirrel
Behold! There be a Dragonfly!
Red's strongest summon.
Dragonfly & Dragon Fire sprites (64 x 64 each)
Sprite frames for various pickups in the game. Each of these are around 32x32 in game.
Spear Rat Jump (4 Frames)
Spear Rat Walk Cycle (4 Frames)
Medley of various misc. sprites I made or worked on
Some very low-res VFX sprites I made
Water Splash frames
Some early Chipmonk! Sketches. Originally we were thinking of having the characters more Battletoads-like/humanoid, and the game was initially planned to include mounts like Golden Axe. The frog and turtle were some mount ideas.
Previews of pickup animations and shader FX in-game.
(After updating Unity and recreating atlases there appears to be some padding issues now...)
The light pillars were added in an update to increase visibility of pickups in tall grass.
