I drew this pic with the limitations of the Amstrad CPC (4 colours @ 320x200). With raster effects you can get more (4 colors per scanline), so this pic uses 10 colors in total.  Since it's meant to be scrolled on a 320x200 res screen, zoomed in 2x or 3x is closer to how it would be displayed on a real CPC.



Actually the main difficulty I am having with it is deciding whether it qualifies as pixel art.
Both the platform he stands on and the sky are deliberately 'unfinished-looking' --  I intend that look, I don't know whether it's on the pixel level.
By contrast both the mountains and character clearly are pixel art.

6 hours, mostly spent redrawing the character.
