It's been a long time since I've touched any sort of pixel art project, so here's something new in that category.
One of our up-and-coming pixel artists, *ryan-gfx, has started a new pixel community project featuring totem pole carvings. I decided since this would be a smaller project, I should give it a try and refresh my pixel art skills.
I decided to do a mock-up of the batty characters created by `liquify to honor her wonderful contribution to myself and many others. I did my best to replicate the character while keeping that "totem look." As you can see, the wings have cracks in them. I felt this would add some detail and make the wood texture a little more believable.
It's a simple design, I know, but I had fun with it and I think it'll fit nicely in the totem project. Thanks for looking!
good job but the cracks are identical on each side you lazy boy! haha and the eyeballs might look better if they were carved in, instead sticking out (flip them). other than those two things it all looks good in the hood oooh maybe some age rings on the top?

I'm a ninja pirate. I'm a ninrate. or um... a Piranja?? You decide.
That is very cool, and the wood does look believable in a simplistic way so I think you pulled it off just fine, Splat. And I do agree that you kept the spirit of Batty alive
