Those pixel art commissions made up for the loss in day job hours and, fortunately, everyone I worked with was incredibly cool and paid me to sprite things I enjoyed making. The biggest event was being asked by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cuddlyrigormortis.com\/\">Cuddly Rigor Mortis<\/a> to make a print for the Gallery1988 Mattel show, and the limited edition print sold out! I finished a lot of my own personal wish-list sprites (the Capcom Aliens vs. Predator crew, completing the Mega Man 2 Robot Masters, the Last Dragon, Konami X-Men, Dr. West from Re-Animator, too many others to list). Lots of behind-the-scenes work was done on the site, and I&#8217;ve got another chunk almost done that will change and add a lot of sections in 2018. I want to thank <b>you<\/b> for the feedback and extra encouragement I got throughout the year, because it helped me get through the rough spots.
