This was done as a style study of Kenneth Fejer. learned alot from doing this, and was a ton of fun to do. The sky/background is not pixel-art. EDIT: resubmitted without CG sky

Elastico-Gadget (Level 2 Kukyu) @ 6/6/2011 13:29

This guy seems to come out from the simpsons' world. The colours are really beautiful, but the leaves of trees seem somehow unfinished.

Biffo (Level 1 Rookie) @ 5/18/2011 15:35

Just perfect

ThomasJH (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 5/2/2011 04:57

... and who says pixel art isn't funny?

mriorgute (Level 1 Depressed) @ 7/11/2010 18:27

reminds me of the fake "squirrlio" from the cartoon in "flash forward", by the way... i loved your style... :P

Gikon (Level 1 Seaman) @ 6/8/2010 08:31

Needs more nuts.

DanielHyaku (Level 4 Button Man) @ 6/4/2010 17:53

I laughed with the squirrels expression. Love it.

orenshtiv (Level 7 Ichikyu) @ 3/5/2010 05:06

That squirrel makes me laugh xD

Ploofafa (Level 1 Rookie) @ 2/11/2010 07:26

King of Games (Level 1 Thug) @ 11/1/2008 17:47

Reminds me of a game Mr. Nutz. Sick as.

Bacteriophage (Level 5 Sniper) @ 9/8/2008 18:27

Too much Fejer in here for me to NOT fav this. Radical work

eyeball (Level 1 Private) @ 7/28/2008 06:13

funny dreat good work

Josiah (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 4/17/2007 21:49

great simplicity in this mockup, nice work

silent sniper (Level 1 Depressed) @ 4/12/2007 21:04

indigo, you rock.

pixeljockey (Level 1 Rookie) @ 3/25/2007 09:55

I like this one, if you finish the gfx i will do the programming
to make a game out of it. Contact if interessted.
If you are talented pixelpusher who is desperately
in search of a programmer (Win,Mobile,Flash) to
make the gfx come alive in a game, im a programmer
who is desperately in search of pixelpushers who would
like to collaborate on any kind of game-project.

Please contact and sorry, i know im posting this everywhere :-)

Indigo (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 1/30/2007 19:47

if you guys want to get in a bun about the brushed sky, be my guest. I simply suggest ignoring it and looking at the pixel-art for what it is, minus the sky.

I implemented the CG background simply because that is something that has remained constant through most of Kenneth's work.

skeddles (Level 11 Sphinx) @ 1/21/2007 15:53

hey your right!

NPA ALERT! NPA ALERT! i cant beleve how many pieces get into the gallery that arent complete pixel art. such a shame

inkspot (Level 4 Button Man) @ 12/31/2006 06:00

It seems to me that the sky is not pixeled...

brod'tam (Level 2 Quiet One) @ 12/4/2006 14:58

You manipulate styles and characters like it sould be...puppets. Simple and strong skillz mockup !

nvision (Level 4 Team Leader) @ 9/10/2006 08:20

Beautiful in it's simplicity, and lovely soft palette! The squirrel looks truly demented!

ManningKrull (Level 9 Executioner) @ 9/3/2006 13:44

This is beautiful. Everything is so solid and plasticky. I love the colors and contrast.

buloght (Level 6 Centaur) @ 8/23/2006 13:52

I know you are doing a style study, and personally I like the sky. But it would be so cool if you could've mixed his style in with your own pixelling background layer(s). But still this is very nice. 6/6 fav. The squirrel wackyness rules.

Schnauzer (Level 1 Quiet One) @ 8/18/2006 16:17

Is an snapshot or an original pixel art? ...because looks really good.

Meka (Level 1 Rookie) @ 8/16/2006 07:38

I really like this one! Great job on the coloration!

spiv (Level 4 Button Man) @ 8/11/2006 04:53

I love this style

elj (Level 1 Thug) @ 8/10/2006 09:41

Fred (Level 3 Enforcer) @ 8/10/2006 04:38

Ouch! So great, love the colors, and character, grait portait. Faved, 6/6.

Arithmetician (Level 1 Rookie) @ 8/9/2006 19:34

Cool character design and nice imitation of Kenneth Fejer style.
Squirrels rock! \(^o^)/

Atooi (Level 5 Soldier) @ 8/9/2006 14:45

Great work, Indigo - I love it!

Wonderful character design and choice of colors.

Aramax (Level 1 Rookie) @ 8/9/2006 02:22

You could almost make a game named SKWERL with those!

acrylicana (Level 1 Intern) @ 8/8/2006 21:19

Oh! The colors used here are great. :D I'm such a sucker for brights.

jagged software (Level 2 Hired Gun) @ 8/8/2006 14:14

reminds me of foamy the squirrel :)

AndyOaks (Level 1 Rookie) @ 8/8/2006 01:10

Fantastic style and excellent use of colour.

-Mart- (Level 1 Rookie) @ 8/7/2006 05:35

The pixelart isn't WOW, but it looks so funny and fresh ^_^ and ehh.. OMG that squirrell is ADORABLE!! héhé.

Nomade (Level 3 Private Eye) @ 8/4/2006 11:16

Great job
Very kennet-fejerish ;D

Awesome colors.. love this, +fav

cerealkiller54 (Level 6 Made) @ 8/4/2006 09:39

Squirrels rock!

neota (Level 8 Shodan) @ 8/3/2006 19:48

This is NICE! Except for the character's eyes that remind me too much of Spongebob Squarepants for me to like the design.

Saboteur (Level 4 Shichikyu) @ 8/3/2006 17:16

OH, one crit I forgot to chuck in there, might as well stick it here.
Palettes - don't artists of your caliber usually merge anything so similar as some of the ones you've got there? It's a bit gaudy of me to suggest, because I don't know if you chose to or not, but if you DID slip up on that, then... yeah.

I love it. Definite fave that I might study it later, so I can learn 'bout colours and how to not suck at them.

OH, and why did you submit it at double-size? Whatever happened to original size?

Devotos (Level 1 Quiet One) @ 8/3/2006 16:18

HAUHUAUHAUHA a crazy squirrel.... !!! auhauhuhauha
Aspect druggie
I love! Like a simpson

NETKAT (Level 1 Rookie) @ 8/3/2006 15:44

LEMME PLAY IT! IT OWNZ !

Just kidding! I found it simple and clean, and can't those things work better than that!
And it really make it wants to play it <3

radio_active (Level 2 Corporal) @ 8/3/2006 14:59

I want to play it! and be able to have the skillz to make it!

Sgrum (Level 5 Captain) @ 8/3/2006 14:23

It´s a funny work, but not is a complete pixelart: I suposse that the sky was draw with a brush tool, not pixel by pixel.

eghost (Level 6 Hitman) @ 8/3/2006 14:07

Great job Dan...Very accurately mimic's the Fejer style...

randomblink (Level 6 SWAT) @ 8/3/2006 13:58

I LOVE IT!! OMG! FREAKING AMAZING SQUIRREL WORK!
So what made you want to do a squirrel piece?

raynoa (Level 5 Soldier) @ 8/3/2006 12:33

Good-looking colors, but I noticed straight shadows on the tree, they can be more interesting.

Mykola (Level 3 Corporate Drone) @ 8/3/2006 07:58

OMG that is one crazy squirrel! And your style is awesome!
