I've been really interested in re-making old 2021 sprites from when I started, It always did seem I had interesting ideas with a sub-par execution. This guy (from my idea) was I think supposed to be a crimson Terraria boss (hence the tag)
The tree on the old one looked like it was on a completely different layer from the actual thing lol -- I wanted to do more stuff on the monster side of it but eventually decided to not do it, which I guess would've been cool to have be more grotesque
