Time to bring some of that ILLVEMBER work to my original pixel art home, ScrollBoss.

Custom Sprites
– Illmosis: new sprites of my characters The Entity and Ace of Clubs. But Nutroll also debuted a new mask design on Illmosis.net this week, and he also has a few new poses and I’ve updated many of his old sprites with the new mask.
– SFA3/SFZ3 Vs. Portraits: Nutroll

Here’s a quick pixel animation video I made of Nutroll finally getting his mask together.

– Ninja Gaiden: While updating the gallery pages on the Illmosis site, I got the itch to make a version of Ryu that looks more like the in-game/cutscene design.

The new sprites were added to the GFX Generator, where you can make pictures like the one at the top of this post.

Reaction has been surprisingly positive from people who are just seeing Nutroll for the first time during this Illvember event, so expect to see him pop up a lot more from now on. As you can tell from the video, he’s fun to animate! Thanks to everyone who commented about him in the places where I’ve posted that video (especially Instagram), you’ll see him get up to some trouble in 2026!

December is next, and that means it’s time for the Wrap-Up, but there’ll be another update next month that’s just as Final!

At the end of the 25th Anniversary update for ScrollBoss, there’s a sprite of my character Nutroll, in the same pose he was in for his new sprite in January. The difference is that his sign now had “11-11 ILLVEMBER” written on it. Today is the eleventh day of the eleventh month, so now it’s time to celebrate the first ever ILLVEMBER! That means two things. First, it’s time for my characters to get some long-overdue attention. That means everything from the Illmosis Network of sites is fair game. It also means ILLMOSIS, my art site that hasn’t had an update since 2020 (and the less I think about that year, the better) finally got an update today with new pixelart and a gallery page to show the ScrollBoss characters who debuted here. But I also have an update to put here, too!

Custom Sprites – Illmosis: A new sprite of my first superhero M-Wave and an almost-new sprite of Nutroll have been added. He’s moved the sign, but what happened to the rest of his mask? You’ll get an answer at the end of this month.

Mini-logos – Illmosis: New M-Wave logo added. Also the old Nutroll logo was added, I forgot to put it on that page over a decade ago.

The new sprites and mini-logo were added to the GFX Generator, where I made the pics at the top of this post.

There will be multiple Illvember updates on illmosis.net through the rest of the month, and at least one more update with that theme here as I add more new work of my characters. I’ll see if I can find a way to contribute to Karnovember this month.

Eleven years ago, Halloween fell on a Friday and I made that the theme of the update. Now I’m bringing that energy back in more than just the sprites in this final HorrorThon 2025 update!

Custom Sprites:
– Friday the 13th : Jason Voorhees (walking) and unnamed running counselor.
– Halloween: Michael Myers/The Shape – 1978 top of the stairs pose
– Splatterhouse: Terror Mask boss (giant mask version)

All new custom sprites were added to the fake screenshot makers/image generators. And now, the DangerTerrorHorrorThon 2025 video!

More TRICK OR BEAT ‘EM UP hype, a video from… Troma’s Lloyd Kaufman?!?

The 2025 DangerTerrorHorrorThon is ON!

part 1: Remains of the Night
Custom Sprites:
– Mega Man : Skullman
– Castlevania: Dhuron
– Splatterhouse: Splatterhouse 2 Zombie

part 2: Creature Features
Custom Sprites:
– Darkstalkers: Demitri (scratch-made idle pose)
– Castlevania: Medusa
– Horror – Critters: The Crites (just the small ones, for now)

Mini-Logos: Man-Bat added to DC Comics, Critters added to Movies.

All new custom sprites and mini-logos were added to the fake screenshot makers/image generators that I used to make the group shot at the top of this post. Dhuron is in the “Castlevania skeletons” character slot.

One more day of horror left!

Arcade Quartermaster has the new shrines up, with one for Smash TV and Sky Destroyer!

The Trick or Beat ‘Em Up project has been on a posting storm this month with gameplay mockups, all-new music, and more on the Instagram account! My favorite video so far shows a big part of why the game has its name.

The 2025 DangerTerrorHorrorThon is ON!

part 1
– Horror – The Craft: completely redone Nancy Downs hovering (“Surprise”) sprite.
– Marvel Comics: New Scarlet Witch spellcasting pose
– Illmosis/ScrollBoss: An updated version of the new ‘cos-ladies’ Witch sprite I added last week and a second version in a slightly more traditional-looking witch outfit.

Stay tuned, there’ll be a second themed part of this update added later today. The title: On Leather Wings. Pretty sure some comic and cartoon fans can guess at least one of the sprites in that batch!

edit 10:19 PM:
part 2

All new custom sprites were added to the fake screenshot makers/image generators that I used to make the group shot at the top of this post. The cos-lady witches now have more palette separation for their outfits.

The Trick or Beat ‘Em Up project has a cool, brutal beatdown demo on the project’s IG page. Check out the project’s Linktree for more info and how to help!
