Three reasons to be going after the treasure:

That sounds nice and all, but I think I'd better write what I know, and not just go with the poll's results for making my game. No offense.

Mr. Redford, the bald guy, is a lawyer and co-owner of WarrenWorks, a tech giant.

Samantha is a doctor (not a nurse) and Timmy's godmother.

Little Timmy is the last surviving Warren.

The Warrens owned Pinafore, and she took care of their summer home.

If you're worried about whether or not a setting doesn't feel realistic in a platform game's camera angle, treat it like it's a stage play. They're never that realistic, but we buy into them all the same.

...well... This is awkward.

Yes, I CAN make an animated background within a matte, with a shifting color palette. However, I realize this doesn't look like lava, no matter which way you shake it.

...the effect's cool, though.

When doing mugshots, sometimes, it's a combination of both my initial sketch and my sprite.

I'm committed to his ridiculous head shape.

Not the most mindblowing thing I've done so far, but I wanted to try it out.

What's taking me so long? Designing assets for the volcano level. Also, allergies.

Boom boom acka-lacka-lacka boom, boom boom acka-lacka boom boom.

The only things that carried over from the original sketch for little Timmy are his dapper outfit (which kinda makes him look like Richie Rich) and Astro Boy's nose.

Adding that bit of chub from the sprite made his face even more like Astro's.

That frizzy hair is easier to draw by hand than in pixel art.

While Pinafore is influenced by '80s characters, Sam is influence by '90s characters. It might be hard to tell any difference.
