I just had to do a double take, apparently I reached 1.4k followers? Neat. I appreciate you all very much, and I also thank you all for putting up with my rambling. lol

I can honestly see my character sheets having more hope of a complete public release compared to my environment/background stuff. There’s so much I want to do, but so much I feel limited by. Granted, I’m not gonna stop trying, regardless of setbacks.

Is it sad to say I’ve grown to dread my birthday the older I’ve gotten? I used to look at them as a personal milestone for myself, but now? It just reminds me of how fast things are going, and how much time I’ve had needlessly wasted. I wonder if this’ll ever go away at some point?

Work schedule is going to make spriting a bit difficult for the next day or so. I’ve been checking out TSR on mobile in the meantime, and I’ve been finding more suitable materials to use for future backgrounds.

With how good these background turned out, I might try to revisit that attempt awhile back from when I tried to translate that one piece of Kotabe artwork (portraying W1-1) into sprite form.

Looking back, I still don’t regret redoing everything. The new sprites are nice & vibrant, plus they give me more room for experimenting with conversions and facial expressions. I’ll continue to have some struggles, but I’ll always find a good workaround after some hard thinking.

(Repost) Super Mario and the Sacred Bells DX (concept) scrapped stuff. I don’t think these sprites were bad at all, but the newer version ended up being way too good to be a one-off. I do think Toad’s sprites are the only ones that can be salvaged. #pixelart #SuperMario
