Hello, and welcome to Day 6 of what I’m dubbing Bomb’s Freaky Sweet Artist Appreciation Week, where I take an artist and one of their OC’s and make a cool little news posts here on Newgrounds, giving them a little showcase. This is 6 of 7 posts I'm planning to make for this week, with a final piece being posted on Pico Day. 

Today's artist is @hcnone!

HC is an epic artist and if you don't agree then clearly you don't own an air fryer :P The best thing about HC is the kind of pixelated art he makes:

Pixelated art like this is really cool to see because a lot of pixel art you see online is typically just sprites/sprite animations, but HC does full on illustrations in this style. They remind me of the old still-shot cutscenes you'd see on the SNES, and I always imagine there being a little text box at the bottom of each of his illustrations showing what the characters are saying/thinking.

One of my favorite stylistic signatures of HC's stuff is his tendency to make the pupils of his characters a lighter color than the irises:

It's simple, but striking and helps add a familiar characteristic to all the stuff he does. Like, you see it and say, "Oh HC drew dis."

His primary content at the moment revolves around Endless Monday, an office slice of life/sitcom where all kind of office hijinks occur. It primarily revolves around the blue-haired beauty know as Skye. Her primary foil (it seems) is the red-haired witch, Hana (see cool gif below).

GIFs like this also imply our boy has some animation know-how. Maybe we can expect a few animated shorts sometime in the future, hmmmmm? One can only freaking hope, but if it did happen...well it would just be pretty epic.

So as most people do, I decided to draw Skye:

To have a character be almost entirely blue, but contrast it all with red eyes is so simple, but fuck-damn if it doesn't look nice. Character designs don't have to be complex to be good people! Hell, making them simpler will make them more receptible if anything.

tanks 4 reeding. look for final post tomorrow ;^ )
