You ever come up with an idea for something really ambitious but way outside of your skill level? I had a moment like that a few years ago listening to the track Embryo (https://illuminatedpaths.bandcamp.com/track/embryo) where I was struck by the feeling and how it connected to one of my favorite films: Angel's Egg. I then went about the thing any good weeb adjacent person would do, make an AMV :bleh: .
I'd never done one of these before but I thought it turned out decent. The stupid thought after that was "What if I made it pixel art?"

Was this a good idea? Probably not from several angles but I sure did spend a lot of time doing it! So much that I haven't worked on it in over a year bc I kind of hate working on it now. But who knows! Maybe once I do other things I'll pick it back up refreshed. Or maybe not! I still have over 6 mins of animation to go 😵 and I don't think it'll get too much easier. At this point sunk costs are the biggest reason for me to continue.
this is fantastic, thanks for sharing :smug:
