Another update. Forgot to say; thanks everyone.

I've been working on this on and off for a while now, and so far it has been fairly straight forward. That said, I've never really done anything like this, and would appreciate any tips or advice when progressing. I'm mostly hoping for critique on the composition of the piece rather than the pixeling. My main focus has been making sure the boat looks like it's being constricted, and not simply being held.

I think this is a misunderstanding.

Ryumaru said "Are these your own creations or from something," as if to say did he design them, or is it an existing character (at least that's how I interpreted it). It is rehugun's design. He made the small sprite, and elk did the drawing from that. In the pixeljoint submission he states that the art he's basing it on was by elk.

Stop blowing this out of proportion.

I recreated 2 screens from the game that were posted on kotaku, but without the NPA of course.

Overworld sprites were co-made by OSM.
