ALL DONE IN MS-PAINT, as per my usual style.

I made this for a little non-reward art contest on a forum. I had two weeks to do it, and I put 60+ hours into doing this. Several late late nights.

I worked right up until the last minute before the deadline. Unfortunately, it's not as finished as I had planned it to be (it is missing some features, which you could see if you played the game) But now that I'm done with it I really don't feel like adding in those missing features. It still looks great as is, I think.

The biggest way I've improved my skills in the making of this is my hand-done ms-paint blurring/anti-aliasing. This is all done by choosing colors from the custom color dialog. Also, there is lots of texturing, which are hand-made in MS Paint as well.

It's really amazing how such things can be done so easily in professional programs, where they take real effort when you have to do it by hand. It all helps to become more skilled with how colors and such things work, though. I plan on sticking with MS Paint for as long as I can.

Do not be worried we all know how this works. Besides the + - zoom feature if you click the image you go to a zoom utility. Make that icon a 1x section too.

I like the scene btw.

Sorry about that! I had forgotten the image I posted was 2x. I fixed it now.

I don't quite like how by default the image is cut off on the right side. I don't want people thinking this is the whole thing. Should I be worried?

Jeebus! Something this large does not need to be submitted at 2x!
