Hey guys, Alexei Shirshov is my name, Shirsh is my nickname and I wanna be pixel artist and animator.
Not much of experience (less than year), not much work done, no arts education.
Some things I tried:
1.For several months I had an idea of making Comix Zone alike action platformer and was making animations for it :
Learning Unity3d at same time wasn't quite productive, little by little I put there goap AI and A* pathfinding for enemies, but it's a huge puzzle for me (even making a title screen is darkest mystery not to mention the ways of teaching Ai to block >_<)
Anyway, it goes as like "4 weeks of making animations per 1-2 days of trial and error code" (for several months). And there also level design needed and music, and... It's better to be a side hobby project.
2. At same time I made some animations for a friend's an anti-mario IWannaBeTheBoshy-like game:
and one unfinished boss (I'll finish it, I promise, really)
3. Before that I tried some smaller things, like this Gungeon-alike guy, mockup of an detective, and Invisible inc (which is my favorite game) fan art trying James T. style.
So, well, umm, I'm not very good in English. Do not use skype ever. I live at south of Western Siberia (sure it's very important for you to know).
Prefer sci-fi theme, like Fallout 1 and 2, like to listen Mindless Self Indulgence, Those Poor Bastards, Cobra Killer and Oingo Boingo.
If you are making a game, especially something sci-fi-ish or with pirates, or whatever but bizarre and think that any characters kinda I drew/animate would fit in it, tell me. You can contact me here, or via Discord: Shirsh#0266
