My SNES Tribute!

It doesn't feel like the Power Glove is holding up the SNES Console. I'm not sure I want to spend much time on this to AA the round buttons, add depth, or smooth polish the console. I have a website to develop.

First of all, that controller on the bottom looks super tight!
Together it looks a bit cluttered. If you do spend more time on this I'd recommend some composition work before AA.
Good luck with the website. Hope the client's not a .

Thanks for mentioning composition. I did kinda just through some sprites into a 64px frame.

No time to develop this further. Fortunately, I'm the client. I'm doing the front-end design and one of my friends is doing the back-end of the site. It's been a huge learning curve for me to get adequate skills in almost 10 languages for this project. I'll let the community here check it out if anything beyond the favicons is considered pixel art.
