Welcome to ASLCartoons!

A small game art studio with a big love for visual storytelling in games.

Who we are

ASLCartoons is a tiny design team focused on 2D game art. We work with indie developers, solo creators, and small studios who care about style and character just as much as gameplay. Our background is in animation, game design, and illustration – and we’ve been drawing weird characters and building interactive worlds since the early 2010s.

What we do

We help game teams bring their ideas to life visually, from early sketches to final assets. Here’s what we usually work on:

• 2D characters and creature design
• Game environments and tilesets
• User interface and HUD elements
• Looping animations and VFX
• Style guides and asset polish
• Visuals for prototypes and vertical slices

We focus on clarity, personality, and strong color direction. Whether you’re working on a pixel art farming sim or a moody platformer with hand-drawn graphics, we adapt our work to match the tone of your game — not the other way around.

Our approach

We stay small on purpose. That means we can work closely with your team, adjust quickly, and focus more on the creative side than on overhead and process. Most of our clients come back to us not just because they like the art, but because we treat their game like something we’d want to play ourselves.

We don’t outsource. We don’t do template work. We treat every project like a custom piece.

Why “ASLCartoons”?

It started as a random folder name. We kept it. Over time, it became a kind of reminder to keep things loose, simple, and fun. That’s still how we like to work today.

Let’s work together

If you’re looking for game art that feels personal and a team that actually plays games, reach out. You can check out our work or get in touch — we’re always open to talking about new ideas.

Crafting Iconic Skins for Counter-Strike – A Designer’s Journey and Tactical Guide

In Counter-Strike, a skin is more than a texture—it’s a story. A well-designed AK-47 skin can evoke nostalgia, fear, or even dark humor (see: “Neon Revolution”). Over my six years at Valve, I contributed to CS:GO and CS2’s skin ecosystem, learning that success hinges on balancing artistry, technical constraints, and the unspoken psychology of players. This article breaks down my process, mistakes, and hard-won lessons for aspiring designers.

What began as cosmetic flair quickly evolved into a cultural and economic phenomenon. Today, skins possess a value far beyond mere aesthetics, driving entire secondary markets – from bustling trading hubs to platforms centered around opening cases. As players seek out rare and emotionally appealing skins, even the slightest change in color or subtle motif can dramatically influence market value or create viral trends. This turns skin design into an art form shaped equally by game experience and speculative excitement.
