This 1-bit piece was done on commission for good friend @Sotenga (who doesn't post here much but really should). His prompt was, "the front gates/opening from Castlevania" - the MacVenture-esque interface surrounding it was entirely my idea. Drawn entirely in FullPaint on a 1986 Macintosh Plus, with the "raw" version courtesy of Mini vMac.

And as far as finishing touches go, I felt like a MacVenture riff wouldn't be complete without some prose, and I am nothing if not a major Castlevania geek. Transcript of said prose is under the Read More.

I feel like it's been practically no time at all since the last time I posted a Gofundme, but it's been an incredibly eventful, stressful, and hectic time: since Thanksgiving I've gained and then lost a job, and my two roommates and I are getting evicted next week while we still don't have an address to move TO. Money is super tight and we've basically been taking turns having nervous breakdowns. My roommates set up this fundraiser to help cover the neccessary deposits for moving:
