Top Pixel Art - September 2006 (#1)
this is both so amazing and so difficult to understand!
Really like this for how it's confusing me when I look at it whilst I can look in detail and appreciate the work done on it. Nice piece!
yikes. that is a lot. aside from that, it looks great! 
@BathMaster_2000: Way too many.(the program Pro Motion counts 75)
This is quite possibly the most amazing pixel art, or art of ANY medium, that I have ever seen. I could comment on how great certain aspects are, but it is difficult to admire absolutely everything in words.
Inspiring, I could keep coming back to this and never lose interest :)
Holy Schitt, such style and class! This is... scrumtrulescent!
I saw this a while back as well...still most impressed and in awe of the level of excellence !
You sir make me cry because i know i'll never be able to do this. haha
Why thank you sir, couldn't have done it with out you and the rest of the community's generosity. Thanks again Everybody!!!
This is just sick! definite fav, all stars and everything else.
Thanks for the comments everybody, I really appreciate them. As for the crits:
to the majority: I know the AA kinda sucks. It started out as an extremely detailed piece, much like that of Rivas, but soon it got to the point where I knew it would take about 3 months to finish it.( I was using mspaint) So I just speed-pixeled as much as I could and dithered like a beast, thus creating some of the harsh looking AA sides.(for ex. the shine on the top right side of the orb.)...
Faktlabad, Tremulant, and Blick: yeah, the hand was troublesome to create a good lighting effect while at the same time using those geometric shapes to give it texture. I guess I took on too broad a project to make it look well enough and pleasing for the eyes.
And about the orb,( I sooooo knew nobody would see what the hell was going on in there) let me explain...The orb reflects the true intention of the holder. Therefore the holder, bieng the wizard, is actually evil, which is why the demon's face is what shows through to the viewer.(its his reflection in other words) Also, in the bottom left side of the orb, there is a reflection of the hand in demon form( as evident by the longer nails, although I must admit it is looking kinda strange and I kind see how someone would miss it).
The center of the orb is a metallic sphere that is creating electric energy and bolts(kinda like those cheap electric sphere/balls you find in the mall). And the strange white circles in the orbs are actually reflections from other light sources....There's no actual reasoning for the colors, as I just wanted to make it very colorful and mysterious...and again I apologise for the way things are positioned and how they don't translate well to the viewer, as I had no reference at all to work with( except my crack finger hands, which is probably why the hand looks the way it does)...
Stichy: "OMG B.O.B. /rapes you hard!!"....lol, that is the third reference to my name and something sexual. I think I'm giving out the wrong impression...
Thanks again, though everybody. It was hell trying to find somewhere to submit this thing, but if I get time, I'll try and fix some parts of the piece as you guys requested..
Thanks again...
I've been doing a piece this month for my birthday, but it's not going to be a patch on this!
Great work!!!! 6/6 fav
Well done
