Such a great piece but I'm especially impressed with how you use the C64 palette, which I don't normally like. Very nice! And that bright outline from the backlight is aces.
Too cute and beautiful! Welcome to PJ! And, yeah, please correct all your preview images to PA. Scale it with NN algorithm if you really must, or better way, show only one part of the image for a preview.
Edit: ah, great, you already did it!
Great picture and welcome to PJ
But the thumbnails also have to be pixelart...no auto downscaling.
Your style is very interesting and subject matter whimsical. I enjoy it.
