Here it is folks! I've stripped back the art of pixel work to its purest form. Uncluttered by a distracting array of detail, this latest piece is a tribute to the humble pixel.

The pixeljoint staff is hypocrites for not allowing this in.

loll how'd I miss it before.. a nice way to provoke some sarcasm lol... it'd be corny if it was done by someone talentless.. but your 'real' pieces are admirable so there's no doubting your talent ;)

Hey Ensellitis, don't take this seriously dude, it was only meant as a joke.

I've been following this entry just to read the creative comments left by other artists on this site - many of which made me laugh out loud

Great to see you have a sense of humour.

Ensellitis (Level 11 Sensei) at 10/8/2006 10:39:00 AM
wow, im glad you guys left on your own...  especially you necky.  i thought you were cool after our little chat.  i hope you guys do come back, that way i can personally ban each and every one of you.

have a nice day, and please fuck yourselves!

AndyOaks (Level 1 Rookie) at 9/20/2006 1:57:55 AM
Can't believe it's been rejected. How can you run a forum dedicated to pixel art and then reject the humble pixel.

Necky (Level 1 Rookie) at 9/19/2006 1:19:35 PM
Gutted! They must think I ripped it.

verfum (Level 3 Private Eye) at 9/19/2006 12:20:44 PM

Aww, why does it need revision? I admit that it *did* look color reduced, but is wasn't that obvious.

Oh soz for the double post, but I think the boarder and the white background distract from the awsome sprite you've got. Try some animation jumping, walkcycle etc.

milkyjon (Level 4 Murderer) at 9/19/2006 10:09:31 AM
too many shades for my likeing. 1 colour would have been better in my opinion.

Necky (Level 1 Rookie) at 9/19/2006 9:54:17 AM
I would like to add. If you worship the pixel, like I myself do. You will join me in celebrating it's profound impact by voting for it. Together we can see the humble pixel as a thing of beauty and one with a big shiny cup beside it. Thankyou

Necky (Level 1 Rookie) at 9/19/2006 9:52:02 AM
Thanks for your comments Lawrence. It is never my intention to offend anyone, whomever they may be or from what background they are from. My work is purely a celebration of the mighty pixel.

I was toying with the idea of having a white pixel on a black background for a while, but in the end I plumped for the black pixel on the white background. To me it just screams 'HELLO!' in a really loud (if somewhat squeaky) voice.

Necky (Level 1 Rookie) at 9/19/2006 9:10:16 AM
Here's that WIP I promised you! Should hopefully dispel with any doubt

A masterpiece!
6/6 Fav!

Necky (Level 1 Rookie) at 9/19/2006 7:56:28 AM
Thanks for the nice comments guys. Luckily for everyone, I do indeed have a WIP! It will be with you shortly, I just have to piece together the hundred or so frames into an animated GIF and I'll post up the link!

Lawrence (Level 10 Operative) at 9/19/2006 7:50:48 AM
I think this is quite a dangerous piece; with all the overpowering religious connotation, Muslims might become very upset and angry. Also, the sheer epic proportions of this really is tantamount to non-pixel art, as verfum has pointed out, all the colours and shapes seems just too much and over stimulate the eye, let alone arouse NPA suspicion. I think you perhaps need to lower your horizons a little.

AlanDryhair (Level 1 Rookie) at 9/19/2006 7:25:13 AM
Very nice, how long did it take?  I would suggest a link to the original art, or is this your own?  I'd say there is a hint of HR Giger in there, keep up the good work.

verfum (Level 3 Private Eye) at 9/19/2006 6:34:26 AM

Could you post a link to WIP - I'm not sure this is pixel art. I don't believe anyone could produce a piece like that without using color reduction.

Please don't take offence, I'm not judging your ability - just got to be sure as pixeljoint is purely for 'hand-pixelled' work. If you did color-reduce then you might be better-off posting this on DeviantART.


calacver (Level 1 Rookie) at 9/19/2006 6:19:44 AM
It's definitely got style, I have some crits though.

1) You could have added a frame to kill the white background from the dark theme surrounding.
2) The pixel character seems a little lifeless, give him more character.
3) There is no center-piece, maybe you could shift the pixel left? Just a suggestion, don't get offended.
4) I don't like the palette, it seems a bit forced.

I'd say it's a good start, but I think it's a WIP and would be better suited in the forums. Don't get discouraged, I think over time you'll only improve, try to learn from the other artists. You definitely have talent.

Sohashu (Level 7 Sheriff) at 9/19/2006 6:08:58 AM
lol.

Maybe you could AA it  bit more.  It seems a bit jagged.  Also, try to define a lightsource.  I see about 3, and none of them make sense.  Also, the dithering is a bit noticeable on this piece.  With a bit of work, you could have a great piece of work on our hands. 

ZZZkodi (Level 7 Mass Murderer) at 9/19/2006 5:26:02 AM

WoW! This is perfect! You' ve great talent!

Good job!
