9 years of work on and off, with a frustrating/disappointing 5 year shelving in the middle due to some pain/muscle problems, is finally complete and I am so happy

'Oh, all right, Uncle Ulty REALLY wants you to paint his portrait!'

This is great, thanks for posting! Hope those pain/muscle problems stay gone for good.

thanks! I'm quite happy to hear that other people enjoyed my idea and how it came out now that I've actually gotten it finished

Two of my favourite things - Hokusai and Final Fantasy! Nice work.

I've loved Hokusai's work since I fell in love with the calming and yet terrifying beauty and detail of the great wave of Kanagawa at a university poster sale. This idea came to me after finally having to throw that print out from the wear and tear of the years;some time after I first made the ultros perler, but before I finished the rest.

I have a similar ~~hokusai~~ (edit: looking it up the painting I'm thinking of is a Hiroshige) meets legend of Zelda idea I've prototyped but it's still missing something I've yet to figure out. Hopefully I'll figure out out now that I can stop thinking about this one being incomplete 😅

That is so goddamn cool.

Nice! I remember the first time I went up against Ultros, I could not win at all. I had to do this trick where I put a c clamp on the “A” button because then you go around in a circle in the water leveling up.

Thanks for sharing this, brings back memories :-)
