Supernova Life – A Cosmic Phoenix Swarm
Today’s pixel art is inspired by the video game Gradius II for the NES. It’s a fantastic space shooter—classic 80s sci-fi. It actually exists on a real 8-bit cartridge—science fiction brought to life in plastic and microchips.
And here is my drawing based on Gradius II (NES). A supernova has just expanded, marking the start of a new era for this sector of space. Highly charged particles and fiery meteors are flying everywhere, along with plasma ejections. The environment is incredibly dynamic now, swept by intense solar winds. It is dark all around, yet everything in this void has been drawn here like moths to a flame.
Your spaceship has stumbled upon a plasma-based lifeform: the cosmic phoenix. There is a whole swarm of them, and they won't let you go. There are also insectoids and UFOs—at the very least. Plus, there are fiery fragments of shattered planets and bursts of plasma.
