About the Artist

Hi! I'm Mimi, the artist behind Yumemimir. I'm a digital illustrator specializing in pixel art. I've been making pixel art since I was a kid in Microsoft Paint, but started creating on a more professional basis starting in 2024.My biggest inspirations are the video games of my childhood. I would often get lost in the gorgeous pixelated adventures on the Gameboy Advance and Nintendo DS. The beautiful glowing white and blue hues of the Wii also played a big part of my artistic aesthetic, alongside the nostalgic blues of Windows XP, and I aim to combine all of those aspects into my work.Currently I reside in a comfy little farmtown in Massachusetts with my incredibly loving and supportive boyfriend.

About:
   The MICRO24 Project started as an exercise for me to learn how best to distill detailed characters into super simplified sprites. I wanted to take on the challenge in order to best understand shape language, how to convey key character features in as small a scale as reasonable, and how to really bring life out of a simple 4 frame animation. I created the initial body base for creating character merchandise, but offered it as a commission option on VGen for a limited time.Featured:
