Experimentation time! Exaggerated proportions, an unconventional color scheme, and a giant arm-gun. All of this combined ended up looking like a character from a Bullet Hell game.
Also, at least in paint.net, messing around with the color and contrast of a gradient produces an interesting striped glitch-like effect as seen in the background. The more you know.
