Contest Brief
I need a start screen graphic for a retro style (8 bit Nintendo) video game. The file format should be .gif or .png. This will be used as a promotional piece. I want something like the style used in the game Zelda 2. What Im looking for is something in the same style, with the same look/feel. Im not looking for an exact copy or anything that would be considered copyright infringement in any way. I believe that the Zelda 2 start screen was made using 16x16 tiles and then scaled up. I want to replicate that look but it doest have to be done with tiles, as long as it looks good and is in the retro style. The game will be called Endoros Quest. I would like to incorporate a sword and a shield into the piece somehow as well as a medieval feel (perhaps a castle in the background or something).
Ive included a high resolution image of the games main character.
Here are some examples of the Zelda 2 start screen:

And the original animated version:

I should also note that the work needs to be completely original, meaning that it cant be made using preexisting tile sets.
In addition to the contest winnings, the winner will also have their name and/or website added into the credits of the game, which could easily lead to additional work from others.
Thank you.
