Description A friend of mine suggested I try doing more fanart when i'm in my artistic slumps so here is a classic, yet frustrating SNES title called Pocky and Rocky. The game itself is basically a top-down free-roaming scrolling shooter(an odd sounding combo, but it works). I do have some criticisms to this piece, Rocky(the Tanuki) doesn't have a very appealing design and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with him, the wall could have had more time spent towards rendering the stone texture. and I really need to learn to render dirt paths(wierd). Otherwise I really like how this turned out in the end

This game... such charm, cute graphics, and nice music hiding a brutally tough game. Amazing work with capturing the artstyle of the game.

and the more Japanese mythology and literature you understand the more references you'll see, in the first level a peach drifts down the river as a reference to the folk tale of momotaro or "peach-boy". which is a beloved childrens tale. honestly, I love this game.
