Oh hi. I'm back again.
I just recently updated my winter zone sheet. The original was rejected, so I made a big upgrade.
I will go through all the things I went through, there is alot. I tried my best so I really hope this gets approved.
If you don't know, Winter Zone was going a Snow themed level, created by Brenda Ross and would
reuse Dust Hill tiles. (Which is what I didn't do) It never made it to the final game.

This is my original sheet. It looks completely helpless. All the objects here look like trash. They feel like a 5 year olds pixelart stock art. The objects don't look very 16-bit, same with the background. The snowman is the only good object, I completely stole
Dolphman's Dust Hill Zone ground and Dust Hill layout, AND WHY IS THERE RED FIRE WHEN IT SHOULD BE BLUE?
Get ready for a big upgrade...

...NOW THIS SCREAMS SONIC 2 SCRAPPED LEVELS!
I got inspiration from Aurora Icefield from Sonic The Fighters. It features snowy mountains out on a cold night, featuring an aurora. Instead of stealing the sprites from too different games, I made everything feel unique. I reused the enemies from last time because, and I also have different versions of the trees, Christmas and winter.
I also have these little examples to save blank spaces. There really wasn't much else I could do, if I resized it, it would ruin the sheet. (I know there are other ways of fixing this, but this is the best I could do.)
The boss may look a little lame, but I am not a very good Robotnik vehicle designer. The flames are from the Oil Ocean boss, but I tweaked them to make them feel more unique. There's also this cool "Blank Space" thing I did, and I changed the border color to make it feel different.
What do you think of this sheet? What should be fixed? I can't wait to see your response.
