also, whats with the mac style background? it shouldn't hurt to do a pixelized aurora borialis, in fact if you can do it correctly it will look way better than just the background you're using currently.
This did take a while to finish. Is there any way I can improve the current one without completely restarting?
we have a huge collection of sprite rips on the site, do your homework and look for some referencdes on how people has portrayed ice in games and you'll get an idea of how you can aproach this without making it look like a huge dump of cream.
also yes, remove the useless background.
