Very striking and moody, love that you reserved all 4 colours for the head piece and went full 1bit for the body/chest. Some artists would be tempted to highlight the chest just a little, maybe even adding a little bit to the buttons but I believe forgoing this resulted in such a strong composition.
Truly puts the focus on the middle of the canvas, coupled with the wonderful lighting on the tendrils from the glowing core. Phenomenal.
Great composition, especially with the corally foreground.
Love you utilised palette shifting the line art for the see through dress fabric, it never fails.
I think if potentially you could have saved a few extra tiles some extra bubbles/far off seaweed or fish could have really made this scene even more outstanding.
Great job and smart choice to fill in the background with a starry sky. You only need a few star patterns and voila!
Love the really stylised magical swirls coming from the cauldron, adds a lot of whimsy to the piece.
Slightly left field/tangent, I can actually imagine this being a label for some form of candle wax melt or oil. Bewitching Brew :D. Or I guess that makes it sound like a drink haha.
Eyyy thought I recognised that background, so glad to see it put to good use!
Love the final piece and that you went with double thick cartoony/comic lines. I'm always a sucker (fitting because of lollipops!) for that style of linework.
If I had to choose a favourite pallette it's a tough tie between the double orange or purple and orange!...Let's go with double orange, it's just so autumnal/halloweeny :D.
Absolutely head of over heels in love with the double thick linework, super charming. Makes me think of comic book inking with the line weight.
One area that could potentially make this pop more is a completely pitch night sky or having the sky be the brightest colour.
Also love the perspective with the foreground, peering through trees, such wonderful composition.
Haha yes, I thought the same about the old Youtube UI, thank the stars for 4:3 being the GB ratio as well. (Makes me think the GBA and modern Youtube are more 16:9 hmmmm? :D)
And thank you! It was a lot of fun, looking forward to next years. It's an absolute solid jam concept due to not being able to rely on sprites/it's pure BG so your tile work as to be on point. It's also great due to it's very feasible in the time limit too. I'll bang on that old drum, limitation breeds creativity ;D.
Such a clever play on the theme as a whole and being a GB dev as a whole!
I love that because of the nature of tilesets you've absolutely crammed the canvas with so many varied tiles one can use, and then you've wielded them to paint just enough to leave room for more.
Truly sometimes it can feel 192 is too little, but sometimes you realise it can also be so much space if you know where to put them.
And I love that sneaky 192 tile at the bottom right, an entire tile just to show you had one left ;D.
