GBPAJ24 - The Queen Past The Bog

This is CometCorner's submission for the GBPixelArtJam24!
The theme for the jam was Color and I picked the 'Forgotten Swamp' out of the 4 palettes as part of the restrictions.

All Restrictions for the Jam Included:

• 160 x 144 pixels in dimension (the size of a Game Boy screen).
• 4 colors, using the one of the provided palettes.
• A maximum of 192 unique 8x8 pixel tiles. (This piece has 160 unique tiles!)
  
  'The only thing now in our way is...her. Perhaps we can talk? She doesn't look too happy...Or we can turn around. '
  
  'The Queen Past The Bog' plays on the palette name more than the piece itself. I wanted to do something fantasy with night time vibes, nothing too creepy. These colors felt murky and uneasy and I wanted to lean into that so I thought what if someone stumble onto something they shouldn't. Or maybe they were intentionally going there and came in at a bad time? I wanted some ambiguity with it, enough for the viewer to come up with their own story with the moth reaching or putting away the scythe and the massive spider woman tilting their head ever so slightly to see her eyes.  What do you think is going on?

The concept piece was a little more menacing with a cackling creature but I am proud of how the finalized version came out! :D
