I know everybody loves the characters (Akello is my boo <3), but as an artist, what really stood out to me was the background work. Like, everything looks so clean and polished despite this only being a demo. They aren't to bright meaning they don't overshadow the character sprites, yet they still manage to give a certain futuristic urban vibe. They are really well done and show a great eye for detail. I've done plenty of backgrounds, and seen hundreds more, but these are impeccable! Love the work put into the smallest details, so keep it up cause I can't wait to see what the finished product looks like!
