8-Bit Zodiac Collection

This series began as a monthly challenge to create a GIF for each zodiac sign. I used the characters and concepts from my 2017 zodiac illustrations, and attempted to bring them to life, loosely obeying the limitations of NES graphics. I wanted the signs’ actions to reflect their modality: cardinal signs travel in a path, fixed signs remain in place, and mutable signs go with the flow.

Zodiac Illustration Collection

This series was a monthly challenge I set for myself, to come up with an illustration for every sign in the western zodiac. I designed a character for each sign, making sure their personalities and actions matched descriptions of their sign. I also made sure colors associated with each sign were present, and tried to incorporate each sign’s element when possible (for example, Capricorn, an earth sign, is mashed against the ground, and Aquarius, an air sign, is being propelled into the air.) I ended up having these pictures made into a calendar.
