Excellent work! I love how you've incorperated traditional platformery sections into a scene with a solid ground plane. Lovely idea :)

This was my minecraft pack the whole time I played. I think more than any other texture pack (from back then at least) these actually looked good on minecraft. Still really nice to look at.

Looks amazing! Never seen dithering look so soft. Especially pure black and white.

Very clean, nice bold colours!

Glad you like it! I had a lot of fun making it, thanks for the inspiration :)

It's basically a scrolling shooter where you play as gods fighting demons. Not much story mostly just exploding lots and lots of enemies.

So lovely. One of my favourite scenes. Been waiting for you to post it cause I couldn't download it from twitter

Totally disagree about the red. My favourite part

Mesmerising.

The animation on the creature is really great.

Awesome!

Thank you :)

Yeah after leaving it for the day some things about the hood are bothering me. It went through a couple iterations of what TYPE of hood it was and it ended up a bit stiff around the rim. If I give it another once over I'll definitely take that into account.

I saw this way back when! I was thinking about it recently actually, I kind of want to do some pixel animated shorts and this was totally unique. Thanks for posting it

Very clean pixels, awesome colours!

Awesome, reminds me very strongly of Final Fantasy 8

I love Snowk's work, and I see what you mean, definite compliment

Thanks guys, I'm having a lot of fun with this colourspace, might start using a 9bit palette instead though cause I'm feeling some serious restriction in places.

Thanks guys

Interesting that you read it as a statue Graindolium, I see where you're coming from but it wasn't the intention, just random colours really. Still a cool idea, wish I HAD thought of it and done that haha.

Good point Friend, I should really study up on clouds, I always draw them the same.

Thanks for noticing, of everything I think I had the most fun with that gem

Thanks everyone

Gorgeous. I'll never get tired of the way you throw hues around.

If I look at it sideways I can see the intended shape and I think it's an awesome design, the really big mouth/ jaw. Just something about the bright colours ending right where a beard would start on a normally proportioned face tricked me. Anyway I made a quick edit, I don't think this is the solution cause I really like the light being focussed around his eyes but just to illustrate my point.

I absolutely love this but every time I've looked at it I've thought he was a guy with a beard and I guess just skipped over the lips and teeth unconciously labeling them as "part of the costume or whatever." Even knowing it's his mouth I'm finding it really hard to see it that way, the texture just looks really beardy. Might help to bring some of the lighter colours into his upper lip area. Regardless, lovely texturing and beautiful colours.

Cool! Thank you. Yes it definitely had the least attention paid to it, backgrounds aren't really my thing. I will probably go back and clean it up more at a later date, I think the level of detail would stay the same though. I was thinking about animating the clouds but it was a bit much for right now.

You know I've never played Shantae but I was thinking the same thing the whole time I was making it. Must be the purple/ red combo, very iconic. Maybe I should make her hair green to remind people of wonderboy

Thanks all, the ripples were some nice relaxing fun after all the character animation haha, it's the little things that bring a game to life though.

@ADrawingMan: I had the same thought initially but it grew on me. I think in any actual underwater levels I wouldn't do that. For this scene though I kind of wanted the water to look like a plate of glass fixed into the ground. I imagine the playable tiles as like a big long flat cut out section of the world a couple of bricks deep.

You're completely right. I have absolutely no recollection of why I didn't use the lighter grey. Updated, much more readable thanks.
