The lighting on the anatomy is harsh and intricate, the rendering meticulous, the gradation smooth - it's like an Alex Ross painting but with dithering and banding. It even centres around a superhero in dramatic pose. It makes me imagine the amount of time that went into pencilling and painting "Kingdom Come" and seeing that number skyrocket for a pixelart version a fraction of the size and palette. It would probably have to come with a regular copy of the anthology since the dialogue would be illegible after the severe downsizing.
I just read some of the comments.
It is funny to see how noobs are (some of) the admin here :D
It is clear this is a real pixel picture, made pixel by pixel. If you doubt, then you don't know anything about this art...
I had same problem years ago about one of my picture with my first account.
I was angry about that and quit pixeljoint for years.
I came back some time ago...
About this picture, it is really great! Amiga ? (32 colors and 320*240)
I think you had a reference but maybe I am wrong?
..and some more thoughts.. (in separate forum tread since it is freaking long)
I didn't see the WIP (its no more online), but if this was done by hand, pixel by pixel, it was some serious work and I honor that.
Ad use of reference - Again I didnt see the ref img (link goes nowhere), but if any image is very near an exact copy of other, 'reference' image, then not only by common sense, but also by law the author of plagiate can't claim authorship of the plagiate. It will always be a copy of somebodys image, not a new piece.
Btw this piece has parts, that show exactly why in some cases a rough pixelart and real artists skills are needed and no reference copying will help you.
Look at his bum-thight area. Seems like somebody just blindly copied something for somebody elses painting (or photo) without really thinking about the shape of the body part, muscles, wrinkles.. Resulting in a meaningles smudge of shades more then anything else.
It is so smooth and realistic! Doesn't look like pixel art at all, in a good way. XD
I LOVE Amiga-style realistic pixel paintings like this. This is another kind of art PixelJoint needs more of.
No worries space2. Elk, cheers mate, yeah the background was really annoying, I kind of ran out of colours being I was resticting myself to 32, so I just knocked it up really, just to get it done, bad attitude I know but the main focus is on Dare Devil so, what the hell.
a blind lawer looking like that, smells fishy :P
jk, it's awsome, really really well made.
oh boy.
'and indeed being 16 is not what makes one immature, but, rather, one's actions. '
So that rules out 2% of all 16 year olds then.
) I've looked through this site, and I've noticed some pieces of work, that in my eyes, haven't been pixel drawn, or are on far more dubious grounds then some of the stuff you refused AndyOaks on. So I can see where Al is coming from on this point, even if it isn't the case. You have to whittle out the true from the false, which is a good and honerble thing to do and you should definately keep that up otherwise this site will go into chaos.Okay that's more like it, this is merely all I've been after right from the start. Naturally I didn't take a shot every pixel placed, that would be crazy, I have a 100 frame animation of it, so I'm sure that would of sufficed to speed things up. The only reason why I began to feel targeted was the insodent where I stuck up for a couple friends I used to work with, I kind of felt that perhaps a few people on here maybe thinking negatively towards me, obviously not. I naturally don't have a ploblem with the way things run, perhaps I have a problem with a few smarmy sarcastic comments I get from time to time. Thanks for your time.
I can’t believe I’m reading this, your completely contradicting yourself.
At what point have you done your jobs correctly? None of the admins on here asked me for WIP, if you had trouble checking my work for authenticity why not simply ‘ask’ for proof, instead most of the other work which was posted the same day as mine was approved accept mine, can't you see my argument?
If I was an admin, and there was an entry which I wasn't sure if it was pixel drawn, I would of demanded WIP to be posted to the WIP Thread, I wouldn't just ignore it, or put a 'no' down on the approval, that would be rude and disrespectful to the artist. I am not trying to tell you how to do your jobs, I am merely pointing out the obvious, that mine was lingering around the approval page for nearly 48 hours without any queries and a friend of mine had to convince an admin to allow my approval. It’s blatantly outrageous, the same as what you have just written, childish and serves only to annoy someone.
PS. Spelled isn't spelled spelt - spelt is a type of wheat.
Alan, if you're going to make it seem as if we as the admins are doing a bad job or are purposefully picking on you then you seriously need to use some of that 15 years of experience to help with your immaturity. We have every right to make sure every member here is as truthful as possible about their art, even if we're wrong.
I don't doubt this is a great piece. Although personally i find that your AAing and dithering could do with some improvement, as can be shown in the sky and the jaggedyness of some of the lines and shapes. This could just be a general style of pixelling, but i still think it really lets down some of your work.
PS. Allowed isn't spelt aloud. Just so you know.
. Anybody can explain his likes and be wrong or right, but all critics must be received whith a smile, doesn´t matter who say it.
Shame I'm taking it off this forum though ay. Pity, just goes to show that it's not just bad or fraud artwork that gets turned down on here. I hope I am setting an example of what's going on, I've been targeted and that shouldn't be aloud, there is nothing wrong with this artwork and I haven't been asked to submit WIP which I have plenty of.
Very disappointed. I'll keep it here for another hour just to see if anyone has anything to say to this, if not then we all know whats going on here.
You got the link to the WIP?
- He's old skool like us. I respect his views. One person you can rely on on this site. Unlike several jealous people I could mention. I like Sgrum.
Amazing! Great scene
