I’m kinda bored and feel like spriting something “metroidy”
so can someone give me a suggestion and also a good picture to work with
(note: i’m not that good so it may suck a little)
Hmm.
Try and sprite an ice shriekbat. Good luck with it. 
Wow! That’s a great ref! I’ve been avoiding doing hte ice shriekbat for P2D cuz I couldn;t find a pic XD
