What the hell happened to Dogmeat? Not that I'm not slightly glad the drama is gone, but really, what happened?

Not being able to recognize at least 10 different beers by taste over the age of 14 is illegal here in Belgium

I totally need to post new art.

I made like tons of art lately.

I totally want to sleep though.

I just woke up too.

I understand better what you mean now Metaru. You are right that more spread of ramps would be better, but as said, it kinda defeats the RO "style" I guess.

I'd love to see you make an edit with less colors that looks equally good without merging ramps together.

This should not be accepted. Lousy standards here lately...

Metaru, not all PA needs super low colors. In most of my art I use over 30 colors for small sprites. There is nothing wrong with that?

These look delicious

I'd like to point out to the discussion below that your definition of index painting is totally and utterly incorrect.

Index painting is a form of pixeling where you use a complex pixel program such as Dpaint, which has darken/lighten brushes, blur brushes and auto-AA, but it all stays within a certain fixed palette. It has nothing to do with reducing and at no point in the process of index painting is anything reduced ever. Although some tasks are automated, index painting is usually done with pixel perfect detail and lots of the accepted and praised pieces on PJ are actually index painted.

Again you did multiple entries instead of one decent entry. How do you expect to get better or win the challenge this way?

Figure study, as in drawing from reference or life. Try looking at the link I posted and the videos and try doing something like that daily. It will improve your pixeling tremendously...

The car seems to shrink and grow a little and I don't like the dithering on the hood. Also, the shading on the windows are pretty random.

Also, lots of AA is needed on the white stripes. Lots of jiggles there

Did anyone read about the terrible massacre here in Belgium? That happened right at the end of my street. I know most people involved.

People make me sick

I wouldn't like it if someone took a piece of mine for an avatar

Can they?

I have an idea for a challenge, where do I take it for consideration? Or do I have to win one of the challenges for suggesting it?

While this piece is a big improvement and progression for your art, I suggest you do it more and more, since you are lacking in figure study. Try practicing drawing the human form first and after you get comfortable (usually a year should do it, if done regularly), try adding shading to the mix.

It can only benefit your art in the long run :)

Write him an official looking letter that he did it on a piece of your property, telling him you're going to report him and ask him to call you. Give him a bit of a scare :)

No one cares about DeviantArt. Except for ShoneGold, but she's too kind for this world anyway
