Description
Full View Please!I've been meaning to post these for a year now... I only remembered them when I started collaborating with the amazing ~axcho on a game. We're thinking of going with a pixel style similar to this.
This was inspired by the landscape around Guilin, China. Its very surreal - I'd like to go there one day. Do yourself a favour and google search it.
Edit: For some reason I typed Japan instead of China. Thanks axcho!

I love this. Great attention to detail on the colouring along the horizon line and in the reflections. I still love your little boats, too.

Thanks heaps Maddie! Yeah - I tried to get the reflections to look as realistic as I could... If pixel art can look realistic

yeah, it's really funny albeit extremely hard. it's about a failed janitor on a space station that gets kidnapped by aliens and then crashes on a strange planet

From wikipedia:
Space Quest is a series of six science fiction computer games that follow the adventures of a hapless janitor named Roger Wilco, as he campaigns through the galaxy for "truth, justice and really clean floors".
Ha ha ha.

I have 5 of them on on CD
if you've played games like monkey island or grim fandango it's very similuar, albiet more trial and error/gruesome death.
