A small mockup I did of some Mario tiles. My goal was to have the aesthetics of the newer Mario games while keeping NES restrictions and a low tile count. I'm pretty satisfied with how this came out and I might draw more tiles at a later date.

Yeesh. This is some really old work so I went back and touched everything up. In the new version the tiles have more contrast, the sprites have more personality, 5 less colors are used and the tile conservation is a bit more relaxed. Eight months of improvement really made a difference!

I'm having quite a lot of fun working on this. I expanded the level size, added more background elements, drew more enemies, made some slopes (very difficult with the 16x16 attributes) and added two smaller mockups. I also found a use for my fourth background palette and touched up everything a bit.
