scientists’ greatest discoveries become superpowers in these 8-bit animated gifs

seven famous scientists whose significant discoveries and inventions changed the world have been given superpowers based on their contributions to the field. sao paulo-based illustrator diego sanches has created 8-bit pixel caricatures of stephen hawking, charles darwin, albert einstein, isaac newton, nikola tesla, marie curie and pythagoras as part of the ‘science combat’ series for brazilian publication superinteressante magazine. the playable figures each have ‘basic’ and ‘special’ attacks, with the latter linking to his or her discovery in the field of chemistry, medicine, mathematics or physics. for example, hawking’s wormhole theory becomes a superpower that allows him to swiftly surprise an opponent by funneling through a space-time shortcut; newton’s discovery of gravity helps him by dropping an apple onto an enemy’s head; and tesla’s coil attack sends an electrifying high-frequency current in his aggressor’s direction.

these are not 8-bit, not everything made in sprites is ‘8-bit’ thanks
No way these are 8-bit images.
They clearly meant ‘8 bits per channel’, lol.
lol no one cares if they’re 8bit or not
Hello, I was wondering if you could tell me who the author of this is? I would love to turn this into a game.
‘8-bit design style’ is the style of sprites used in 8-bit games, nobody is really saying that the gifs themselves are 8-bit, that’s meaningless.
None the less, this is not the style of 8-bit games, but rather 16-bit. 8-bit console didn’t support this resolution and color pallette..
Awesome idea, looks great. Reactions: “These are not 8-bit!!” freakin normies
Generally i dislike when people misuse the 8bit term.
But in this case, these *are* 8bit sprites. GIFs can only display 256 colors, so the images are using 8bit per pixel.
Charlie Darwin should have not been included. Evolution is not science. It is a religion he created. True to what he believed he married his own cousin and ended up with children all having birth defects.
Who is going to make this I wanna thank him/her
