i guess this is sort of a study - the background is just to have something else to look at other than a tiny sprite with transparency, etc.

trying to come up with ideas about character shape language recently, i think i used to make stuff that just looked like earthbound but larger. i like the sort of illustrative properties of this, the line art isnt really symmetrical and kind of odd, but it still meshes into a shape language that feels cohesive/iconographic?
