Sexy pixel art xD

I like a lot the highlights and shadows on this one.

7heSama: Gridcopy is a term used in the demoscene (I think outside the demoscene there is another term, not sure) to describe the workflow of drawing a grid on the source image and then copying that source image (usually a photocopy, a photo, a picture from a magazine, what have you) with the help of that grid which you can also establish in your art program. This makes it pretty easy to get proportions right without too much effort.

What's a "classic gridcopy-piece"?

Arpo78 (Level 3 Sergeant) @ 9/19/2013 15:30

mad sexy.

coran (Level 1 Seaman) @ 1/17/2009 16:48

Hello.

I really like this, the anatomy is really well done. If I had to nitpick, it would be the left knee/thigh, which isn't bad at all, just not as consistently amazing as the rest. But that's just a small thing, awesome job!

Toodles!

Wade (Level 1 Rookie) @ 1/14/2009 15:13

Superb! Classic demoscene style and really nice choice of colours!

B_j0k3r0 (Level 3 Sergeant) @ 11/17/2008 11:52

Skull Master: no I think ur odd xD hehe

joeC (Level 1 Private) @ 10/3/2008 19:04

i'd hit it...10/10

Skull Master (Level 1 Rookie) @ 7/16/2008 12:01

(Also, her right knee cap looks odd) :/

Skull Master (Level 1 Rookie) @ 7/16/2008 11:58

X'D Yup, she's fully suited to fight aliens and monsters. Remember the wize Sreetfighter logic!: "The less cloths a female has on, the stronger!" ;p

theguy (Level 6 Hitman) @ 12/16/2007 05:44

116 COLORS! that is alot if you ask me

DJD (Level 4 Button Man) @ 10/31/2007 22:21

just came across the reference pic you used for that babe and now's a fitting time as any to comment. Awesome job on the girl but it's that planet in the back that I love most.

drZool (Level 6 Serial Killer) @ 3/31/2007 00:25

Marvelous shading! Did you have a picture to go after?

Barky (Level 1 Rookie) @ 3/29/2007 20:26

yeah those are astronaut pants, 'cause her ass is outta this world. ok dumb joke

anyway it is magnificent work

grave (Level 8 Marshal) @ 2/22/2007 03:32

Holy crap. I gotta say, the torso and stomach are totaly excelent. almost photo realistic.

schrumpfkopf (Level 4 Team Leader) @ 2/20/2007 11:33

fetter demostoff - findichrichtich gut

Afflict (Level 4 Lieutenant) @ 9/20/2006 11:43

Congrats on gold the left leg like mardalles said looks wierd.

buloght (Level 6 Hitman) @ 9/20/2006 08:31

Congrats on gold, very deserving

ulbandi (Level 1 Quiet One) @ 9/17/2006 12:41

The colors and detail on this are wonderful.

Mordalles (Level 1 Hired Gun) @ 8/16/2006 14:33

*her left leg and right arm

Mordalles (Level 1 Hired Gun) @ 8/16/2006 14:31

looks nice.

a lot of the anatomy bothers me, especially the left leg and right arm (length, shape, shading and proportions in comparison to rest of body). also, the way you shaded her right hand makes it look like the hand is the wrong way around (but only if you look quickly). the planet on the right looks really nice. the right part of her bottom lip too seems a bit out of place (the shining just below the black). also, look at photos to see how the neck vain should go.

acrylicana (Level 1 Intern) @ 8/8/2006 21:14

Wow. I don't see why anyone's complaning about the face. Perhaps they're not too familiar with the character and that comic-style?
You have some great skills. :D

Angy-chan (Level 4 Shichikyu) @ 8/8/2006 11:31

Vampirella!!! Isn't she? Very beautiful even if some parts of the face looks strange to me!
Btw that's a masterpiece, great job!

Bob_Jones (Level 2 Peon) @ 8/8/2006 08:12

Looks great, especially the shiny skin, But her face is a bit revolting XD

Commodore (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 8/8/2006 06:01

Sorry for double post but, I wonder why you pixelled it? You should buy oil-paints or a tablet because I think your paintings would be awesome.

Commodore (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 8/8/2006 06:00

This is piece is done the best on this site. I think the idea is not as good as some others are, the realization is very good!

jagged software (Level 2 Hired Gun) @ 8/7/2006 21:23

I really like the shading and defined tone -- 3d illusion of light on the flesh ..

ryumaru (Level 3 Private Eye) @ 8/7/2006 18:27

hmm, ive blocked out both sides of the face and as seperate the work fine, but together it just looks distorted. the tecnical skill in this is really something to admire though!

Adarias (Level 11 Special Agent) @ 8/5/2006 16:54

I personally dont like the style or the subject matter, and the background needs a lot of work, but i have to admire the technical prowess displayed in the figure. 5/6

BlackFang (Level 6 SWAT) @ 8/3/2006 18:49

ur works are amazing but i dont like the faces u make, everybody is so ugly (this one look like she is old), but its just my opinion, my style is diferent

5/5

Devotos (Level 1 Quiet One) @ 8/3/2006 05:02

A sex girl. Fantastic!.
Sorry but this is like a old futurist movie.

hehehehe good workin steps!!! undecided in the planets.

chanfan (Level 7 Underboss) @ 8/3/2006 03:05

I like everything about it except for her face.. Her face is UGLAH! You better do something about it or I'll punch you!

Nevanda (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 8/3/2006 01:54

buloght (Level 6 Hitman) @ 8/2/2006 14:37
