Also, my current game project: Vikings on Trampolines. Its a co-op/versus brawler where you're vikings, you fight on trampolines, and balloons are sentient and evil.
Go for it!

Turned out fantastic! Genuinely wasn't expecting someone to make art of her at random!

Forgot to post this. Fixed the old elf to match the new elf for fun. Ears have been significantly upgraded.

This is by hand. I've tested illustrations with color reduction, but it doesn't work on its own. Part of the fun is picking limited colors that can then be reused effectively. This character had to be specifically designed for it. Might be different if you aim for less restrictive pallettes though.

Hypothetical third elf should be capable of flight

I know this will likely sounds silly to suggest, but I had that exact issue with my phone for a year or so. The solution was to turn it off, and dig out all the tightly packed crud in the plug with a sturdy needle. A lot more in there than I thought, and it completely solved the issue.

Could be interesting to try. I haven't given animation much thought, so likely would need further optimizations for that. I do suspect some elemets are not practical at scale with other elements in a scene, but I've been surprised before.

Felt like adding to my Mario Bros. 1 redraw. Fixed Mario, added Luigi and Wario for fun. Peach, Toad and Bowser only work on black backgrounds like the original game. Allowed Koopa Troopa a sprite overaly to get an extra color like in SM3. NES accurate, but probably not optimized.

Always did, though his only functional appearance was in Wario Land 1

Another weird little guy for Vikings on Trampolines complete. Sometimes you gotta get up in the morning to drive the cannon train. We've all been there. At least he gets multiple hats.

It won't be too long now. Its been a journey

The fact that I have more than one family member with a banana peel slipping story is concerning
November 11, 2025 at 2:06 PM
That sounds genuinely horrible

It's absolutely ridiculous that black pepper can make me sneeze. What is this, a 1950s rubber-hose cartoon? Is my head going to be hit with a hammer and turn into funny shapes now? Should I be in constant fear of falling pianos?

So right as we finished the Owlboy anniversary livestream, my cat got hurt. I've been on cat watch pretty much 24/7 since then. Lottie is going to be just fine, though she's positively seething about having to wear a cone.
