Cave Story tabbloon - Happy Birthday, big bro~!
Long time no see, everyone--I'm finally uploading a new piece of pixel-work, packed with sprites! It's uh, mostly heavily edited from Quote's HD sprites, but this was a fun foray into Cave Story's style. owo It uses little shading, and somewhat light colors, so as not to appear overpowering, or bright, but still colorful enough to make the characters and weapons stand out wonderfully.
So, without further ado, this was a birthday present for my baby, and the sweetest big brother anyone could ask for,
abbyinflatabletabby, whose birthday just passed on the 15th. He's 28, now, so that's another year wiser, and another year sweller! <3 I wasn't quite sure what to draw for his birthday, but, since I was so into Cave Story+, I had the random idea to try and sprite him in the style, so we could use him as a skin over Quote. He doesn't have the game on Steam yet, but, he now has sprites to play with after beating the game once. >w<
Now, the first row is his normal appearance, how he would look during the adventure, while the bottom is his mimiga mask appearance. I thought it would be awkward, and painful to have one's ears smooshed underneath a mask, so I added horns to it, to act as a covering. Makes him look rather unique, for a "mimiga", doesn't it? X3
Abby(MY puffy kitty baby, and BBBFF)belongs to himself, but, also partially to me, since I hoard him so. <3
Cave Story and original sprite style are property of Pixel, but were custom colored, edited, and re-shaped by myself
Please ask Abby, and myself first before using, getting permission from both of us; thank you.
*Edit*
I forgot to add this when first posting, but, I need to give credit to a user that goes by "andwhyisit" on the Cave Story tribute site forums--he polished up the falling sprites just before the dragon, making the lighting look really cool! owo

This has always hyped me up and seeing the full sheet is just awesome. It's all complete and it really is sight for sore eyes. I hope Abe can take a good look at this! Honestly, getting to see a character you own into a game you love is the best thing ever! This is so fantastic buddy! Nice work!
Heeheeee, I know, you always sounded so excited when I'd show you these, and your enthusiasm certainly helped me stick to it! I don't think I would've finished it in five and a half days if it weren't for all the support. XD I know Abby has seen these already, but, I do hope that he'll get to comment on it sometime soon, if he has the time.
Thank you for all the support, it really was amazing to see the sprites animate in Cave Story+, it was so, so cool! 8D I'll have to do another project like this sometime soon!

M'awww, heeheee, shucks--thank you, Matty, I'm so, so glad to hear that you like this! If you like platformers like Megaman, Metroid, and other exploration based platformer games, I think you'd enjoy Cave Story. You can download the original version for free, and I think it'd be a good way to see if you would like it! owo
Well, to put it simply, Cave Story is a charming 8-bit styled platformer indie game; I came across it years back, when it was free, and fan-translated, and fell in love with it. It's a bit of a metroid-vania, and has a really nice chiptune soundtrack. I prefer the original to Nicalis' "modern" mix, and especially their "classic" mix, but all the same, Cave Story is a game I love, and was one of the first indie games I ever played. ^w^
Honestly, I think it does--I know I'm certainly one. X3 If you ever get the chance, I say look it up, and see if you like it! You can get the game on several platforms these days, like the 3DS, Steam/PC, and, soon enough, the Switch; I don't own the latter, since a Switch is somewhat expensive, but someday. >w<
