Spent two days drawing. Well pixel'ing. Learned the fundamentals, and some shading techniques (even attempted to dither!). Except I'm not using a limited pallete. And well... I think I'll need to sink more time in to this. I've come a looonnnng way from when I started. Check it out from yourself.
Pixel art progression.
Oh, and I've also come up with a brief description of the game. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past meets Arkista’s Ring. ie. Hack 'n Slash with simple stages (defeat x enemies or move block from position A to B). I also have a neat idea for the magic gameplay. Scattered throughout the game will be Magic Cards, which can be collected. Your deck of cards will be the only game element saved on a game over/game exit. You can then use these ...
