Hi there!
I'm Epixelette Shark
I'm a pixel artist who likes to draw characters and (as my name suggests) sharks!I also like educating people on sharks, so fun facts are inevitable. For example, the epaulette shark (which inspired my name) is a small shark that can walk on land!
Commission Work
I offer a variety of commission types on Vgen. Here are some samples of the work I've done:
An assortment of 17x17 MapleStory guild emblems I've made for multiple commissioners
A full set of Eeveelutions (I have other non-comm'd pokemon art too!)
I won't shy away from a silly commission, like this drawing of Clippy hiding in a bush
A Stardew Valley portrait of a commissioner's player character
Fan Art
I love drawing fan art of my favorite characters and franchises. So much fan art to make, so little time T-T
Pokemon
I immediately fell in love with the Ballonlea from Sword & Shield, so of course I had to make a pixel version using the Fire Red Leaf Green style
This was a gift to a friend during a pixel exchange. We both have a love of Pokemon Crystal, so I drew his OCs in that style
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet characters in the Black and White overworld sprite style
Mew was under the truck all along!! (palette from the original Pokemon games)
Even when wearing a devil costume, Yamper is still a good boy/girl
Jeff the Landshark
I admit, I've never played Marvel Rivals (I do enjoy the MCU though). But how can I not be expected to draw this sharky good boi?
D Gray Man
This is one of my all-time favorite animes. I originally was going to draw only a few characters in full color, but I liked the challenge of drawing in grayscale with a single color pop. And once I drew a couple, I couldn't stop.
Harry Potter
I don't agree she-who-must-not-be-named, but HP was a big part of my childhood, as well as my friends' who are featured in these sprites
Challenges & Collabs
I love participating in different art challenges and collabing with other artists! I haven't done it in a while, but here are some especially fun ones:
This was my contribution to a 1 Palette, X Artists collab. The only requirement was everyone had to use the same color palette
This was part of a trend where four artists drew their own character over premade bases to a song
My first time participating in Septembit, an annual month-long challenge where the rules change every year. This year, the palette was limited to four colors (only two of which were provided) and each day also had a canvas size limit.
Another month-long challenge with daily prompts. I added the additional challenge of only doing Pokemon for each prompt
Original Characters
I have many, many, many, MANY original characters. Most of whom are merfolk inspired by different shark species. Here are just a few:
My mersona/artsona. This character represents me, Epixelette Shark. Her tail is inspired by the epaulette shark
My spinner shark mermaid. Spinners are named for their behavior of launching out of the spinning in the air
My spinner shark mermaid cosplaying as mermaid Hatsune Miku (part of a weekly prompt challenge)
My thresher shark mermaid, inspired by my favorite shark. :) Threshers use their long tails like whips to stun prey
My oceanic white tip merman
My little landsharks doing silly things
More silly little landsharks with a fall theme
