Finally have a new pixel art to show off! 🎉🎉🎉

This art is again for a game, one big background to show off the outer space of the setting! Very pretty, dark and definitely something to see. Space can hard to imagine, but thankfully I this came out pretty well, especially the planets, the bigger the pixel art the harder it seems to properly create!

I didn't think I'd be this busy but apparently I was, things just kept piling up without time to post more art, hopefully I'll have another to show soon? :DDD

@belarius asked:

What inspired you to develop for GBA, rather than some other platform?

great question! i'll start by pulling out a quote a from the blog post i wrote about making "with the last moonbeam"

I’d also become interested in the advantages of emulators and virtual machines as a way to distribute software, in large part thanks to the writings of Hundred Rabbits. Having some prior experience with GBA programming, I felt I could pick that up again with relative ease, and I knew I liked the hardware’s balance of capabilities and constraints.

I'll expand a little on those points below

Finally finished the art for this! The suits represent the 4 elements, and you can combine cards to form new cards, so I needed 10 separate suits with 26 cards each for a total of 260 individual card illustrations (although 6 of those won't be actually used in-game and are thus less finished).
