Thank you, SeDiceBisonte!

Great design on the bug, it reminds me of some sort of 1960s/1970s horror. Really like the colour palette as well and how you've dedicated parts of the image to different colours.

I love this, and I miss Flipnote Studio! The scene reminds me of Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou.

Thank you phenomenician! 

Thank you Tipleloop! <3

Thank you for the compliment on the palette SeDiceBisonte 

Looks fantastic. 

This is insane, my mind is blown 

You did a great job with the rendering, it looks like it could be a still from a movie (or game), the vibrant colours and scene choice really does remind me a lot of the warp scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Wow! It looks great, so exciting to see my palette applied to a real portrait - it ended up looking so vibrant. Thank you for trying it.

@SeDiceBisonte thank you! I wanted to make the concept lean less on 'alien worlds' but have it be something a bit closer to home. Have the emphasis be more on nature in a possible world (or future earth) where humans are irrelevant. I like the scene in HG Well's the Time Machine where the protagonist travels so far in the future there are giant crab like creatures and crustaceans everywhere on a vast landscape. So I wondered something similar, about if plants and insects took over.
I wasn't familiar with the term ligne claire until you mentioned it just now, but I see what you mean. I was trying to make the lines easy to read.
Thank you for your comment!

Very smooth, much like Alucard's run in SOTN! I've played both SOTN and Order of Ecclesia and liked both (preferred SOTN more though in terms of gameplay). I haven't make this style of sprite before but here are some thoughts I have:

I think I just got so used to looking at Shanoa's in game sprite which has brown hair I kind of forgot her artwork often features her with black hair. Maybe it's supposed to be an ash brown? Or maybe dependent on the artist. Also her hair tends to move as one big clump in the game probably because the sprite is smaller and has less fidelity, so that extra bit of hair flying separate on the profile run is a bit distracting, it would feel heavier if it all moved together I think.

The other thing is the run is much more graceful and delicate here, she seems to run with her hands in fists in Ecclesia but here her hands and arms seem looser. Probably more Alucard like!

Overall really like it! I love seeing artwork of Shanoa she's a very underrated protagonist for the Castlevania games and you did a fanastic job. I just thought I'd give my thoughts having also played both games.

This looks very cool, the wind animation is very fluid. 

I second what Tipleloop mentioned about the lack of the hip, that's really the only thing that really stuck out to me.

I'd love to see your website when it's finished!

Thank you AngraMainyu! 

Hey SeDiceBisonte! Happy you got to see this one! haha PC-98 is verrry niche, the process is much more like a larger resolution illustration than pixel art at such a larger scale. I liked the way you did the blossoms the style is one I've seen in some Game Boy Color games (like for narrated introductions). To do mine, I set my Aseprite brush to something like 3px then turned on pen pressure to do the blossoms on the trees. Admittedly, something I find a bit awkward at points but the irregularity seemed to help.

Thank you spikedof2010!

I love the colours and pose!

I really like how you did the bricks on the fortified wall and gate, I'm not too familiar with CGA exactly but these details really remind me of very early PC dungeon crawler / adventure games.

Heya AngraMainyu, thank you so much! I really appreciate it. 

I don't see many artists making this kind of style, I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Hope you have a great weekend. 

Thank you @Tipleloop and @QueenKami!! 

Thank you! The one being carried is just a little baby. 

Thank you! I love the effort you put it and it's a very cosy and wholesome image. I appreciate it. Merry Christmas!

Looks straight out of the game, nice work. I especially like Jirachi the wish maker is a perfect choice.
