GBC-Styled portraits of a few more characters, and a bit of disclosure.

hello again, r/PokemonRomhackDev. a week is a reasonable amount of time to wait to post more art from my hack, right? if it's something that overstays its welcome i'll happily lay off, but until then i'll gladly provide this sub with content like this as long as people care to keep seeing it.

picking up from last week's post, which featured the Card GB player character "Mark" (original illustration) and trading card game-original character "Cipher Maniac" (portrait redrawn from card artwork), this week's post features portraits of the following characters:

  • trading card game-original character "Welder" (portrait redrawn from card artwork)
  • Professor Oak (very loosely redrawn from existing artwork)
  • Card GB2 character "Mint" (original illustration). she and Mark are the protagonists!
  • Card GB2 character "Dr. Mason", also known as "Dr. Ooyama" (original illustration). i'm probably going to redraw this one...
  • Kenta, an entirely original character, an unassuming fledgling trainer
  • trading card game-original character "Adventurer" (portrait redrawn from card artwork)
  • Card GB character "Isaac", also known as "Takahashi" (very loosely redrawn from existing artwork)
  • Card GB character "Gene", also known as "Genzo" (very loosely redrawn from existing artwork). do you think i did a good enough job differentiating him from Oak?

as far as the disclosure goes, i wouldn't want anyone to get the wrong idea if they recognized the characters or the artwork the portraits are based off of (however closely). i imagine it's far from the first time Mark and Mint and the rest of the Card GB gang have found their way into romhacks or fangames (i know of a japanese moemon hack that features the club masters, for example), but as i am pretty passionate about the card game i'm perfectly content with making another tribute for the pile.

GBC-Styled portraits of a protagonist and companion character

"GBC-styled" here refers either to the image containing only four colors in its entirety (right) or to each 8x8 tile making up an image containing only four colors each (left), but not going quite as far as to adhere to true limitations to what colors could exist on a GBC.

iykyk. project pending formal announcement.
