I had the sudden urge to make another pixel piece the other night, and this little scene is what came to mind immediately. Since finally going hard underway into the actual production of Astronautical Episode 4 I have been going nuts storyboarding my other episodes and the one that takes place in Japan has really been running through my head a lot lately. You'll see that thing, one day! Until now, this is but a sneak peek into the events of that episode. That little, well... maybe not little giant slug thing is not as much of a pushover as this pic makes it seem though!

The mech suit still has no name, it's a design I've retained for years now, it's a tripod but you can't see the legs through the billowing smoke and apartments in the foreground. It's got tentacles all over the place, and if you notice in the health bar icon at the top right it even has tentacles that come out of the head ports! The giant monster they are combating is called.... THE PUKUMBER! It's a giant irradiated Sea Cucumber that, attacks, as the name suggests, predominantly by vomiting!

This was so much fun to make, and gave me the opportunity to put in a lot of little details which ya'll know I like dabbling in. And oh my GOSH writing in the three Japanese writing formats is so much fun when it comes to pixel art ahaha! I wanted to fill this thing with text all over the place but didn't think I really gave enough room. I just hope I actually wrote properly with them ahaha! The one I worry I really botched is Cephie's text box at the bottom, which is essentially saying 'don't eat expired sushi' to the Pukumber. That green banner is bs by the way haha! It was supposed to say Blargen but I accidentally screwed up a letter so just made it gibberish. I also don't know if I broke Pukumber down into syllables adequately for his health bar name!
