This week's challenge is "Homage"!
The goal is to create new art in the style of video games that you like, especially games that inspired you to get into video game art.
The real challenge, and of CRITICAL IMPORTANCE: do not create derivative works without permission from the copyright holders. Create art in the style of your favorite games, but do not remix/recolor/trace protected art from games. Such entries will be rejected from OGA entirely.
