You don't need to be able to read every pore and eyelash on a character's face for "good" graphics. You need good art direction and design. Those are what ensure your game still looks striking and memorable even decades later.

When you consider that this beauty runs on 25 year old hardware, the possibilities for us are still endless.

I wasn’t really sure what to call this creature so I settled on “Fish-Cat”. 🥴🥴

I originally saw this sculpture while unpacking a box in a dream I had. I loved it so much I thought it'd be fun to bring them to "real" life! 😂😂

A ceramic sculpture of a fish but it has four legs like a quadruped animal.
They are painted in a way to mimic blue and white porcelain, and have a decorative handmade blue tassel and little bell attached to their chest.
They appear as though they are singing the beautiful songs of their fish-cat people.

A mostly monochrome freehand digital painting of the artist as she appeared in Dec 2023, bundled in a soft chenille sweater, silver-streaked pixie playfully styled into salt and pepper spiked curls, forehead gently furrowed by time, skin spangled by a generous scattering of freckles, age marks, and moles, her hazel gaze nestled in a fine webbing of crow’s feet crinkles, a small smile quirking the corners of her lips and narrowing her right eye slightly.

My painting, "Chonk," is number 8 in the Close Encounters Collection! Had a lot of fun exaggerating this orange cat for maximum fluffiness and chonkitude.
