As I burn through the 80ish sprites and larger "Command" sprites from the game, I'll slowly be passing in more my own creations/adaptations. Series 1 and 2 had 9 game and 3 originals. 3 and 4 have 8 game and 4 originals.

Some of them are from the 1993 game SD Gundam: Gundam Wars, which was released for the Datach peripheral for the Famicom, some are my own creations using the same constraints (24x24 pixels, black + 3 colors from the system's 55 color palette).

2/2 So Stretch Goal #2 is $400, and the loot will be an exclusive color variant of the Warhammer, gussied up in the olive and green camo, just like the cardboard standee from the o#SuperDeformed

3/3 This is the ONLY time I will ever make/distribute stickers in this color pattern, so if you want in, better get on board! Even more exclusive color schemes are in the wings!

Asplenia Studios @aspleniastudios.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

2/3 I've some awesome, limited-edition sticker ideas lined up as stretch goals, the first of which is the SD Marauder in the brown camo scheme from the game itself.

Realizing that the original run of Battledroids/BattleTech used mostly mecha from Macross, I then ventured into BattleTech, as well. Recent additions to the series of 8bit renditions includes the ATs from Armored Trooper VOTOMS.

...namely 24x24px, using only black plus three other colors from the 50ish colors of the system's palette. Years ago I initially created versions of Gundam mobile suits not seen in the game, then all of the mecha from Macross using the same constraints.

Asplenia Studios @aspleniastudios.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

...trust me that almost each and everyone save for a couple have been changed to reflect the new art. Not much you can do in a 24x24px box, but I tried. What/Why? These 8bit "sprites" specifically follow the constraints of the 1993 Famicom game SD Gundam: Gundam Wars...

Asplenia Studios @aspleniastudios.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

- Nearly all of the Inner Sphere battlemechs are updated variants with model numbers that reflect that. With this in mind, and due to the new illustrations in TRO:3050, while a lot of the sprites might appear to be copies of the previous ones...

110

Asplenia Studios @aspleniastudios.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

- Per fan suggestion, I have started to put the battlemechs in order as they appear in the TRO, and not in alphabetical order by name/model number. I might go back and revise the previous ones as well.

110

Asplenia Studios @aspleniastudios.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

A few notes and changes in method: - For the "poster" I'm trying to portray each sprite in larger form than before. I will likely revisit the previous ones some time in the future and make these changes, as well.

Asplenia Studios @aspleniastudios.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Long version - It's been a while, but I finally tackled Technical Readout: 3050 in super-deformed, 8bit form. This follows TRO:3025, TRO:2750, TRO:3025 Revised, and Crescent Hawk's Inception. Admittedly, I may have made some errors at points. If you see any, please do let me know.

Asplenia Studios @aspleniastudios.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

tl;dr - SD 8bit versions of the battlemechs from "BattleTech Technical Readout: 3050" published in 1990. #battletech #mechwarrior #mecha #8bit #pixelart #superdeformed #chibi #kawaii

Did a non-UC Gundam. I wanted it to be moody & goth, not action. Second image is my typical "penny sample," showing parts of the illustration at full resolution compared to a US penny. Drawn in Photoshop. No AI used. #gundam #gundamwing #ガンダム #fanart #gundamfanart #deathscythe #noai #tourbox

Sorry to hijack this post, but at Shakopee you told me about a sticker company with low order thresholds and, maybe, free shipping. Who were they again?
