Awesome! But nes could really show that pic? I think thereΒ΄s a color limit by squared tiles.

It couldn't. This image is only using the NES palette, not the limitations.

ThatΒ΄s what I was thinking.

It's just the NES actually. Well, I guess I did make my selection out of it. Thanks!

This is reminiscent of the artwork in adventure games, such as the ones produced by Revolution and Lucasarts.Β IE. the high points of video game art.

Lucasarts adventures are definitely high on my fondness list.

Thank you, it's NES palette, but truly it's MartaNael 's inspiration to go this way.

It kind of grows on you.
I didn't like it at first, but as I got used to the art style, the details began to appear and I started to see a very detailed world.
In my opinion it far surpasses the original art.

That is indeed an interesting comment. I still have to get it printed on canvas and then hang it together with the original art.
