Before you ask: no it’s not a minion on steroids!
The big ugly guy is based on a Saga

32 colors out of 4096 / 5bpl

in Lódz, Poland 
in the oldschool pixel compo
 
In February 2024 I went to the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie with my sweetheart and saw the opera/reading of Odysseus. A great, incredible experience and story and a direct inspiration for this picture that I started shortly afterwards to work on it ...

Awesome piece, it looks like a full-on fantasy painting. Also very good read in the character silhouettes!

This level of pixel art mastering is close to black wizardry ... damn I'm jealous.

People are remarking about the lovely flame detail with the guy in the bottom left corner, but I see 'nobody' there.
:P
Nerdy literary jokes aside, this looks great, and I love me a good Odyssey inspired piece. Excellent job on the vibrant style!

Thanks for your kind words. Like you said: the transition between dither diversity is always the biggest competition beside limited color choice. Dither methods help me to get contrast and depth ...

I really like how you change dithering and textures across the design, while keeping transitions between them subtle. Another great work. :)
