Oh yeah. I'm very inspired by both the art and music of the 2d zelda's. But the way I constructed anatomy, rendered skin, etc was inspired by the recent pixar offerings. So for this project it was kind of a mix between GBA era zelda and pixar. I hope the look winds up not looking too derivative of either =].
The japanese just know how to make small resolutions look good. I derive not only visual, but functional inspiration from them. I want to make everything pop and appear vivid. I want nothing to be oppressive or noisy or too small. A lot of western top down games use realistic proportions at small sizes, and I feel like I'm interacting with an ant farm.
I did everything I could to be inviting and clear with this one.
I'm really glad you like it... well. presuming you do =].

thanks so much. Well, nothing has paid off *yet* but every little bit helps. A share or a tweet would do wonders, if you like what you see!
