Marby 21

Hi all,

I haven't posted here in a while, but thought I'd share a small project I made earlier in the year as you guys might find it of interest. As a (21st) birthday present for my GF, I made a big batch of pixel arts of things she likes, or we have memories of etc. and made a simple quiz game out of them (she had to guess what all 50 were to see them).  The (potentially) interesting point was, because we live together, I had to do all the art on my DS, usually whilst commuting to and from work, to keep it hidden. Which brings up a couple of interesting restrictions, mainly a lack of reference material. I also only used 16 colours (a modification of Arne's generic palette), and stuck to 16x16 or 32x32 icons (I think one was 48 or 64).  Anyway, although it's not the best pixel art in the universe, it's the first art project I've done almost totally on the DS so it's kinda interesting...

A couple of examples:

That's a sweet idea, and good presentation. I really like the sackboy.

Woah man, that dropping dither is making good work completely unviewable.  Nix!

Yeah the page colors are pretty harsh, though I do enjoy the Pyramid Head sporting the Wryyyyy pose;)
