One of the first horror stories I've read by Algernon Blackwood
I intended to submit this to the "Clean Your SSD" challenge, but unfortunately I didn't finish it at the time.

Is this AI generated? I just think it's amazing that you could have such a level of skill and not know how many fingers are on a human hand.

Sorry but this looks a lot like AI art. There is clusters no artist would place that way, like the yellow patch on the snout, which is a artifact from remapping a high color image. Also look at the right hand, it has 9 fingers.

I mean nothing wrong with using whatever tools you have available, but at least have the decency to work in a way that resembles your current level of skill and don't be so god damn lazy.

Perfect illustration and perfect pixel art for me ! It's a dream to have cutscenes illustrations like that in a game and at the same time an hand/digital painted book cover

Ok, this one took my breath away. What an amazing use of the palette!

Just the pixeljoint image spec tool :)  http://yanrishatum.ru/pj/

I dig your deeply purposeful response. Every perceived error is just one perceptual step away from art :b

If you happen to have the time, I would value your thoughts on my judo-bunny-girl piece https://pixeljoint.com/pixelart/150449.htm

Thanks for the comment. So I recognize the nuance between the colors, it was a bit propositional as I was experimenting with the palette. The idea is that the contrast between a more vivid color and a more opaque one to give more depth. One part is immersed in the fog, while the other is popping out. But yeah, i don't know if i achieved this proposal. 

Anyway, nice observation, could you tell me what program did you used for tracking the colors?

Freaking wow! That is seriously tops!

That said :) The blackest-black looks a bit tooo black, on my monitor at least. The value jumps by 7, while its nearest-neighbor colors only jump 3. All of these being 13 and below, and steps at lower values having more perceptual impacts, you might be well served by lowering the value on what is presently #161819(second darkest), if you don't want to brighten the darkest shade. This is particularly eye catching in the little vaguely bean-shaped cluster just above the wolf's head(#070708 surrounded by #161819).

Thanks. It would be for the "Book Cover" challenge.
