it's the pico-8 philosophy for limiting my ambitions when i draw--because i wanna draw more! and i would love if the pressure to do that was minimized somewhat
drawing on something like this forces me to not overinvest my energy into each thing i draw--a bad habit i have
as for the characters? they may be generic, but they aren't based on anything!
i just wanted to draw in a TDM style, a thing that i like quite a lot
TDM is basically a japanese mascot style kemono with an extremely large head, often very stumpy legs, and a body that's tapered enough that it's basically a triangle
jirachi and the lake trio from pokemon are other examples of TDM
