There. The hand is drawn.

...now I've got four more angles for this hand to be drawn in, then I'll copy-paste and mirror them for the other hand.

Also, I've added a timer for scoring and convention reasons.

If there's one thing I learned from looking at the graphics of NES Batman, it's that they put gray highlights with red shading to make metal look a little rusty.

I'll know if I did my job right when I get to actually making the level.

Meow.

Tigers are difficult to animate, especially since they have two joints for their hind legs.

Well, it kinda resembles a tiger.

Part of the debugging experience is making sure enemies don't spawn in walls.

...but this is a great way to show off the shotgun in action.

No, this is not the final boss. This is the boss of the last mainline level. There's a difference.

Also, I'm so glad I can pull off stuff like this. There'll be two more forms, though.

So it begins.

It doesn't help that the three forms share parts, but not body arrangements, but nobody's perfect.

...hopefully, people will see this guy as an homage, and not as infringement.

Too much?

There are only so many ways to draw starbases, and all of them require a window into space. This one happens to also be a factory.

Concept art time!

Early on, Tiel had a backpack because in the fic she was originally created for, she was going on an adventure along with Rick. That's why I was kinda attached to her.

It doesn't matter if you're drawing in pixels, by hand, or with polygons. Hands are hard to draw, period.

Well, I was looking through some old files, and found some cool stuff.
