Character select portrait for a remake of an AlienBreed/Gauntlet-style WWII game. There were no identifiable characters in the original but I felt like doing some. Used similar shading technique I used on Feral Beast portrait. Fairly happy with it.

So I chose to use many shades for these portraits... big deal.

found the actual 16 color version I did for a friends retro test thing

I far prefer the 32 color version. Has many more of the colors I wanted in the piece.

It has 32 colors, hmmmm... and it looks like no more than 16.

Great and unusual dithering. Top notch!

For what platform are you doing the remake? PC, Console or Mobile?

qrakis (Level 2 Quiet One) at 8/7/2006 12:41:52 PM

Well, You have reasons to be fairly happy with it :-). Only scar looks somewhat strange.

For some reason his face reminds me a bit of Mel Gibson. Great work on the shading, this piece has a fantastic atmosphere about it.

Stitchy (Level 6 Commander) at 7/28/2006 11:18:04 AM

Awesome detail on the face! WOW. I'm impressed, Wolvy! :D

Though guy ey? Very nice portrait. The use of dithering, or what to call it, is subtle and smart.

joseph_ch (Level 2 Kukyu) at 7/27/2006 6:32:22 PM

wow, once again im amazed at your work. fantastic work wolverine, excellent job.

Wolverine (Level 8 Brigadier General) at 7/26/2006 2:45:31 PM

Thanks everyone for the comments. Limenu - yes his nose is supposed to look sorta broken, he's been in plenty of severe close combat fights as well as using firearms. Eghost - Glad ya mentioned that, I like reading WWII comics like DC's Sgt Rock and Marvel's Nick Fury stuff. Space2 - Yup it is 'Into The Eagle's Nest'. Am basing it on the CPC version (which I've had for nearly 20 years), it's very similar to the C64 version. The Spectrum version is the most different with a totally different level layout which I will be doing as an additional castle much later on.

space2 (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 7/26/2006 1:48:31 PM

Are you refering to the "Eagles' nest" game?
It was one of my favorite on C+4 ;-) Oh.... the good ol' days...

eghost (Level 5 Sniper) at 7/26/2006 10:32:15 AM

Awesome stuff as always! It has a great golden age comic book feel to it and the character immediately brings to mind Nick Fury...

Wow, that's brilliant. 5/5 fav.

M@lone (Level 1 Rookie) at 7/26/2006 8:04:49 AM

Larwick (Level 8 Shodan) at 7/25/2006 4:06:33 PM

Fantastic work dude. The colours are really vibrant, and i really like the texture/dither you gave the clothes and his stubble/generally all over. No critisism from me. :D +fav

limenu (Level 4 Killer Klown) at 7/25/2006 3:41:50 PM

Someone Broked his nose (or how many times ;p). Hairs look nice, but meaby u should add more light in that black place. Anyway this artwork is just great and i like it :3.

Skull (Level 11 CEO) at 7/25/2006 10:49:20 AM

I love the style, I love the art. Looks very much like a 'cartoon' stlye drawing, and everything is in perfect proportion. 7/7

big brother (Level 8 Rear Admiral) at 7/25/2006 10:40:10 AM

Love the cartoony look, yet all the gritty texturing. Seriously, let me know when this game is done. 7/7 + fave
