What if Princess Mononoke were a GameBoy Advance game? (Pixel Art Mock-up)

In this pixel art concept-to-completion, I reimagine a scene from Studio Ghibli’s Princess Mononoke as a Metroidvania-style GBA game! Throughout the creation of the mock-up, I share the workflow involved in creating stylistically consistent character sprites, environmental objects, and finishing elements to generate a complete pixel art scene.
