Hi there #PortfolioDay ๐ŸŒผโ€‹

I'm Rรฉmi, i am a freelance game artist, game maker and illustrator. I make a lot of colorful and playful things (videogames, tabletop RPGs, printed pictures...) that focus on mundane, personal experiences to make people look at their daily environment with a fresh mindset.

I'm currently looking for new opportunities, especially in illustration for games or children books, so hit me up!

Playig cards and objects are dropping from the backback onto the path: a dagger, a snowglobe, a big book, some candles, a gift basket and a keychain. In the background are a small village, some fields and tall mountains.\nThe main colours are white and shades of pink, orange and yellow, giving the picture a vibrant yet nostalgic vibe.Illustration of a small countryside house in a field. A pink cloud of smoke is going out of the chimney, and a giant, skinny old lady in a black dress is breaking through the roof and having a cup of tea (we only see her from the belt and up). The scene is taken from Roald Dahl's book George's Marvellous Medicine.Yellow Famicom game cartridge with an illustration on the label: an old lady is doing stretches with her cat to the rhythm of the radio. Around are some decorative props, a monstera plant and a cup of tea. At the top left corner of the illustration is the title of the game: Obรข-chan no Exercise, written in both English and Japanese.

Do you need sfx for your PICO-8 game? Check out sfxp, a sound effect design tool and generator for PICO-8! Hand-design your effects from scratch, or use the randomizer and tweak to taste. Generated effects use the built-in synth, so you can just paste them into your carts.

Made in < 1024 bytes of compressed code for the PICO-1K Jam.

Is there an iPhone/iPad app to blur out / cover peopleโ€™s faces in _videos_ (not photos) that is actually any good but also not total overkill? My wife just wants to respect peopleโ€™s privacy when putting things up on Instagram, and I donโ€™t want to have to do it for her in FCP on my Mac every time. Iโ€™ve done a quick search and there seem to be a lot of apps but they all look kinda horrible?

A wrestling poster - from a few years back - for my favorite Beach City wrestlers.

#StevenUniverse #StevenUniverseFanArt #SUFanArt #Art #MastoArt #GraphicDesign #Poster #TigerMillionaire

It's an old-school wrestling poster - the typography is old-fashioned and it even looks old and worn. It shows Steven and Amethyst - two characters from Steven Universe - leaping out of the poster in their guises as Tiger Millionaire and Purple Puma. the text on the poster is all stuff from this specific Steven Universe episode: It announces the Beach City Underground Wrestling League, tells where it meets, and announces this specific tag team made up of these characters from the show.

i wrote a long thing about social media.
it's a big rant that felt good to get out there.
"You scream into the void but the rate limit has been exceeded. Nobody can hear you scream."

"I'm alone even though I'm surrounded by more avatars and follower numbers than I ever have been.
Why do I feel so alone?"

My journaling game about going on vacation, Souvenirs, just received its update! โœจ

It's a visual update that doesn't change the content of the experience but makes the rulebook more beautiful and pleasant to play with, with a colorful & improved layout and some new illustrations.

Get it on @itchio ๐Ÿ‘‰โ€‹ remi-tootata.itch.io/souvenirs ๐Ÿ‘ˆโ€‹

Boosts are very much appreciated, thank you ๐Ÿ”„โ€‹๐Ÿ’

ICYMI, Souvenirs is a solo role-playing game about writing the journal of a character that goes on vacation for a week, discovers charming places and gets items as souvenirs of their visits. It's an introspective game about the memories we associate with objects and places!
