I'm quite impressed about how well the single coloured shadows work. The background is also a nice touch. Reminds me of the vapor wave aesthetic.

impressive

beautiful colors

Yeah, I think you can't really avoid it if you want soft transitions. Moreover, I have recently been finding the "classical" banding, which usually does look bad, to be inevitable, and even preferable, in certain situations.

is this that "banding" technique so many comments complain about on older pixeljoint submissions? idk why. Superb as always, about as realistic as one can get while still retaining a distinct pixel art character

Thank you, Elk. I'm glad you think so

It's also quite enjoyable to use

mmmm wonderful

That orange to green color ramp is my new favorite thing.
