Almost one year has passed since the Morphship, and I think it’s safe to assume I’ve somewhat improved my spriting skills.

The following sprite was made for a contest, where you had to sprite a giant boss in 32bit Metroid style; I tried Metroid Zero Mission’s one (GBA).

This repulsive being is nicknamed Pyukktre, the Power-bomb Guardian. For those who are familiar with the Metroid franchise, you have a good idea of how dangerous this boss could be considered the weapon it would use.

Sprtie-wise: since it was my first try at this style, I had some serious issue with the palette management, and I had to cheat to use all the colours I wanted. Basically, the entire sprite is scratch, with the exception of the metallic part which was stolen and heavily edited. The pincers were rotated on GIMP (with the interpolation deactivated) to give a more arcade-look to the final product.
