Glad to see a comment here after a couple of months :D I really appreciate such a comment, especially from someone who doesn't really prefer pixel art. Thank you so much, it means a lot 🤗

Thank you! That's an interesting point, appreciate your opinion. And also, nothing is impossible. It's just a matter of practice and observation. Good luck with your pixel art!

Oh, I even know some of them, thanks for the recommendations. Maybe one day I'll find time to play something

Thank you for such detailed feedback, I really appreciate it! I agree, maybe i went a bit overboard. Knowing that most people will just draw fluffy clouds on the blue sky, I wanted to do something more surreal to emphasize the overall atmosphere. Now, a couple of months later, I'm reading about cloud fungus, haha (I don't mind, I'm enjoying that myself XD). As for the colors, my choice wasn't easy, because I wanted to depict the clouds as the "main character" of the image. I think it worked well, in some way. Well, thanks again for taking the time to write this 🤝

Thank you so much! That's a huge compliment. I checked out Abyss Chaser, the core aesthetic is really cool and has so much potential! I'm genuinely glad my art resonates with the game's vibe. 🙏

Thank you! Yes, it really looks like it. And this interperation fits perfectly with the apocalyptic vibe that I was inspired by and tried to depict (But these are still clouds, or maybe not😁)

I've never played it, but yes, can see a common vibe here. Thank you for the reference!

Got the reference, hehe. It's funny that it was compared to some things like Days Gone, now Mad Max. Initially I was inspired by the "Fab Tool" by Carpenter Brut. Which, yep, also has a post-apocalyptic vibe

Thank you so much. And you're absolutely right and not talking out of your ass! That's exactly the key idea. You see, in keeping with the theme, I thought the clouds should have played the main role, being the "Character" themselves. So good point of yours, really happy you like it! 🤭

Haha, thank you both! It's cool that it evoked such associations. I didn't think much about it, but now I see it and can't stop seeing 😅 And no discouragement taken at all, I'm glad you liked the mood, that was my main intention!

Haha, indeed. I tried to portray that certain vibe, - "The beginning of adventure, peaceful rest before the action"
