Okay, so! This is the other half of the entries that were being submitted to the SMSPower! art competition before they were self-disqualified because of the lack of entrants.

This was done in collaboration with BlckFlyn! They did absolutely amazing lineartwork, that can be found at the SMSPower! post on the subject.

This was the more deliberate artwork of the two - with a sketch and (pretty badly done) references for the characters my end. Without the incredible work and lineart of Flynn's, this picture would be truly and utterly impossible.
Please give them a follow!

This picture was drawn over onto the SEGA Master System, and comes in at one palette line, and at exactly 448 tiles used up. Which is JUST squeezing inside the VRAM.

I hope this picture is enjoyable for you guys. I'm seeing mistakes I made that I wish I fixed at the time, and don't wish to fix now because it doesn't feel right to.
