I figured I'd make a graphics topic for myself, because I don't know if actual games will come out of the stuff I've been making.
I know I'm definitely not the best spriter here, so sorry if you expected better from me for some reason.

Mock up of "Moonshade Forest"I've been working with an ultra low-res (4x4 grid) old school style with the idea of creating a game called "Literally a Mini Zelda". (LaMZ..?)
This mock up shows a cursed/haunted forest area. The sun never shines upon it and it's said that an unimaginable darkness lurks within the very deepest part of the forest.
Some sprites meant for a mini game called "Link's Barrel Beatdown"(Note: The blue background isn't supposed to be water, even though I brainlessly made it look a bit like that with the wavy divider *derps*)
I was also working on this before LaMZ. In fact, I actually started messing with LaMZ because I got a little stuck with Link's Barrel Beatdown. I was trying to keep it simple, but some unforeseen complicated stuff pretty much made me have to rethink the idea. If I went with the original idea, I'd have to take a good amount of time programming some fairly deep physics for strings of ammunition (Deku Seeds) which feed into the "barrel guns". It'd be totally sick, but a nightmare to program, ha ha.
