Great pixel art.

So pixel art is awesome, it can be game art or just done by an artist that likes to make it. And there is a lot out there, post some good stuff.

Can't argue with that, although the first pic was broken.

PC98 had the best pixel art ever made, it's such a shame most of these things never left japan.

I would love to see this aesthetic with Satoshi Urushihara character design.

The aesthetic is classic early-mid 90s stuff so yeah, his take would fit right in. I do think the original Langrisser was not too far removed from these pc98 games.

Pretty close to it but still distinctive as hell. It's such a pity the remakes had different art.
