Not a great deal of creativity in this piece (this will be my next project) but I`m pleased with how it has come out all the same. I tried to give it a bit more of a hand-painted feel though as apposed to making a straight copy. All drawn using just a single pixel brush in 16 colours in Pro-Motion. Here's a link to the WIP animated GIF; http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k118/AndyOaks_2006/SarahBrightmanPortraitWIP.gif And here's a picture of my reference (although I didn't draw from this actual .jpg. I drew it from the inlay of the album); http://eil.com/newgallery/Sarah-Brightman-La-Luna-161356.jpg

hmm looking back at that post i made, it looks stupid :o

anyway still fantastic stuff

AndyOaks (Level 1 Rookie) @ 2/21/2007 04:45

Pro-motion is the best for this type of pixel art.

griego (Level 1 Depressed) @ 2/16/2007 22:07

please teach me the basics of pixle art, like is there a special program to use

Zhou (Level 1 Rookie) @ 1/19/2007 09:56

Insane anti-aliasing and color choice.

AndyOaks (Level 1 Rookie) @ 1/3/2007 07:20

Thanks again guys.

It's been a while since I last checked my folio and I`m amazed at all the nice comments that have been left.

chrstman (Level 1 Rookie) @ 12/25/2006 14:33

Very good job.

vanSchmidt (Level 1 Intern) @ 12/25/2006 00:15

To tell you the truth, this doesn't even seem possible.. I mean, how can someone make something THAT good? It should have been #1 in the top pixel art. I love it, its incredi.

Merry Christmas

silent sniper (Level 1 Depressed) @ 12/24/2006 22:48

dude... your dithering makes it look SO FREAKIN REAL!

Josiah (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 12/18/2006 23:12

How the hell do you do this?!?!?!?!?

Sorry but it's almost impossible for this to be 100% paint it's do REALISTIC how do you do this on paint do you millest the program?!?!?!?!?!?

Ok sorry for the rudeness but this is just pure godlyness

i still don't know how you do this but you sir are insane with a magical power!!!

Lucky...

=^D Guy (Level 3 Enforcer) @ 11/8/2006 18:23

Now that's what I call damn awesome pixel artwork. I love how you did the dithering and more b/w like pallete.

BadMrBox (Level 2 Quiet One) @ 10/30/2006 08:37

What to say? Amazingly pretty. Jaw-dropping stuff.

eckered (Level 5 Killer Klown) @ 10/17/2006 15:15

wow, incredable. an excelent portrait. i found myself wondering if that was actually a pixel

Atooi (Level 5 Soldier) @ 9/15/2006 12:14

This is great work!!

Elk (Level 6 Saber-toothed Tiger) @ 8/26/2006 02:02

im impressed ;o

David Stoner (Level 1 Rookie) @ 8/26/2006 00:36

Hmmm, I have mixed feelings on this. Your technique is of course very impressive, but it is just a copy. I guess I'll wait for your next project to see what else you can do.

AndyOaks (Level 1 Rookie) @ 8/25/2006 01:26

So many nice comments! I don't know what to say (which is a first!). Thanks everyone!

space2 (Level 3 Private Eye) @ 8/24/2006 09:37

Corrected photo Sarah Brightman from album La Luna??

ZZZkodi (Level 7 Mass Murderer) @ 8/24/2006 00:47

Unbelievable!!!

Huggkruka (Level 1 Rookie) @ 8/24/2006 00:34

Unbelievable. I was going to say "hey, that's just a pixelated photo!" but that WIP...oh man!

You've got real talent!

ebby (Level 1 Rookie) @ 8/23/2006 15:12

great work! the bottom lip and eyes are extremely well pixelled!

AndyOaks (Level 1 Rookie) @ 8/23/2006 13:28

You're right, that jawbone area is a bit on the rough side. I`ll take another look at it.

Thanks for your help eghost.

eghost (Level 6 Hitman) @ 8/23/2006 12:40

The dither pattern on the near side where it transitions from highlight to jawbone curvature is a bit rough, giving that portion a somewhat fuzzy texture...Also on the near side right under the lip it feels like the dither pattern extends down about a pixel or two too far...

AndyOaks (Level 1 Rookie) @ 8/23/2006 12:27

Well spotted with the far side of the face. I hadn't noticed that but you're right it does appear a bit flat.

Could you give me some pointers on the dithering that could do with some cleaning up. I`ll sort this out whilst I'm fixing the far side of the face.

thanks for your comments.

Afflict (Level 4 Lieutenant) @ 8/23/2006 12:21

Unbelievable! 5/5 and fav great work AndyOaks

eghost (Level 6 Hitman) @ 8/23/2006 09:35

Very nice dither work, though some of it could be cleaner. Specifically on the near side of the jawline...My only real complaint regarding this piece is that her face appears very flat on the far side, though it appears that way in the photo as well...Simply amazing work on the hair btw...

verfum (Level 4 Deputy) @ 8/23/2006 09:28

Cool! This is amazing!
