Well, hello you – how are we? I’m still here, just about. There hasn’t been much excitement happening at this end and the summer was very much one to forget.

A friend of mine has been working on some pixel art lately, and this compelled me to look back at some of the stuff I made in years past. That, combined with a quick session of WrestleFest, resulted in what we have here; it’s just another way of showcasing some of my sprite attempts – in this case, the Undertaker ones – on a different platform.

While there are no new sprites in here – and Gene Okerlund reporting from his desk is taken directly from WrestleFest itself – it was some much-needed video editing practise. I got a version rendered and uploaded to YouTube, only to be reminded on publishing that the Shorts player has the title and icons slapped on top of the video, rendering my text unreadable. To say I was annoyed would be an understatement! That’ll teach me for jumping in. I had to readjust the whole composition, which ended up taking about two hours, and upload again; you could say it was quite the undertaking if you wanted to. But I got there in the end.

Now that I have the framework, I may redo it with some of my other sprites, so keep an eye on YouTube if you’re that interested.
