Don't scrutinize the inconsistencies in the scaling too closely, haha. It got me in "trouble" in several places, but it looks fine if you aren't comparing it EXACTLY to this scene in the game.
I left out the foreground barbarians. I should have added them, just to have the "proper" GBA screen resolution I'd intended... but I was not properly motivated.
The background sky in the game is definitely not a hand-drawn element (It's the ONLY such element that I know of), so I just did what I thought was best when representing it in pixel art.
Beyond epic!!!! 100,000,000/10!!!
It is now a contest to blow 10 out of the water harder than anyone before you has.
