This is still one of my absolute favourite C64 pics. Amazing stuff.

It's currently marked as "MultiColor" but I've noticed that most like this on CSDb are tagged as "MultiColour + Sprites", whether the sprites are overlays or border sprites .. so assume this should too? The entry is locked though :-(

@Jammer, "doesnt go apeshit on dithering" != no significant amount of dithering
User Comment
Submitted by Jammer on 23 January 2020
@Oswald: There is significant amount of dither but it's subtle and used mostly in colours of same luma :)

@Golara: You've finally cracked me xD

@ZeSmasher: Actually, both Mermaid and Mirage achieve new shades in very similar manner ;)

its give or take, compared to Mirage Mermaid doesnt go apeshit on dithering, but for that you get antialias that this feels higher res than 160x200

Jammer just gives extra points to anything with open top and bottom border :P
User Comment

@Jammer: really hard to say. both pics are amazing. ex-equo for me.
Mirage's PRO: his usage of colors is out of this world. Mermaid's PRO: she drawns her own characters, not existing ones (Calvin&Hobbes).

Tough choice between Mirage and Mermaid but IMHO Mermaid wins because of screen composition ;)

The use of colors stands out here. One almost forgets that this is done using the limitation of the standard C64 palette.

Lovely work, amazing how your pictures often looks like you have more than 16 colors available. Both fun and great composition. If you added a title on top, you have the perfect splash/title picture for an adventure game. 馃槏

Too many colours error... :P
I love how also @mrsid s iPad app smoothly blends the striped areas, which cannot be seen in the preview pic!
2020 seems already to be the Year of the Mermaid! ;)

Regular multicolour bitmap with some sprite shenanigans in the upper/lower border.
Should work on NTSC as well as PAL.

Inspired by Parrot's lovely Compopic:
