A small piece I did some time ago for Pixelation's Comercial Critique Challenge
The challenge consisted on redrawing a screenshot from the first Castlevania game in your own style, but also following the same technical limitations the original game for the FAMICOM/NES had.
I decided to go for a somewhat more realistic look, using dark colors to get a serious and scary mood.

This is great. Well rendered, and animating just the flames was a subtle, intelligent way give the scene a lot of life. Everything else gets nicely coated in an eerie stillness. I both love and hate that it is so faithful to the original as to still have the heart icon touching the letter P.
