Well, I never considered myself an artist, just had some simpathy for it, tried to draw as a kid, ended up liking more and more but never learned that much and at some point I just turned away from it a bit, since I was enjoying programming more than other things, which led me into a blocking path of not trying to draw things anymore, because i was judging myself too much. 

Well, so I decided to force me into doing it even if the result turn out to be a total mess, even if no one can recognize it as art. I know, its totally arbitrary but just to emphasize to me that its okay, I can try out again and again. Yeah, for now I can say that the effort its paying out, not perfect but way better than my expectations were.

So, here's the thing, as I sad at some point, I've built some mechanics for the game, at a point that I am able to release a demo version aat least, but what is pushing me back its this idea of using a generic asset for the main character, and for months now I'm thinking about this, maybe hiring someone to do it, but you know, its something so personal at this point that I'll try and do it myself. No regrets.

Anyways, here's some progress (been doing some courses in pixel art and character design so I'm doing silhouettes first):

Fun fact: The first one (top left) was my first attempt of doing it before starting the course, even knowing basics of drawing and character design that was the funy result.

OBS: the second square is just the design placeholder that i've been using until now, just for reference.

And after that, the idea is to take the best designs and to refine them with different elements. That part I must confess I was afraid of screwing things up, but again, I was happy with the results:

That's it for now. I'll try to keep refining those until I have something that is worth putting into the game, or at least I end up with a good reference to hire someone to do it for me, I guess??
