To the people complaining about the bomb attack nerf: you did see that this will be a OPTION, right? If you don’t want the nerf, don’t use the option… Also, I wouldn’t call this boss a “secret optional boss”. Beating the boss is clearly important to the story, come on now.

It has been a really rough day and I appreciate the outpouring of support from everyone. The amazing @stevesaylor.net once said something like "every company should have an Elisabeth," and now is your company's chance! I'm on the job market after layoffs and looking for my next role.

Happy #portfolioday! I'm Aria, a seasoned pixel artist looking for longer-term contract work. I have experience as a portrait artist and sprite artist, and have experience working in a wide variety of styles and resolutions. I can also do non-pixel stuff. Full portfolio at thatartisan.carrd.co!

Behind him is the sonic 1 "try again" game over screen. the entire piece is done in a dramatic style and angle with a lot of different dither patterns and menace from eggman himself.digital illustration of a woman with shadowy lupine features swiping at a guy so hard his jaw is being ripped off and his neck is breaking, spinning around to reveal an anguished expression towards his friend who is behind him, now covered in the blood of the first guy.pixel art sprite of Samus in her zero suit reminiscent of a fighting game. she is a tall blonde woman in a blue and cyan bodysuit holding a sci-fi stun pistol.monochrome pixel art portrait of Willem Dafoe. the entire piece is done at a massive resolution with only two colors, accomplishing multiple shades of grey through elaborate dithering patterns.
