ESCAPE FROM METAVERSE

An Image I started last year for the Demoscene Event "Revision" 
Unfortunately I couldn't finish it in time until april 2023.
So I had 4 weeks more for pushing some pixels to release the pic @ 68k-inside –
an event for the oldschool 16 Bit Demoscene in the oldschool competition. This time I wanted to use 32 colors and make it look and fell like using 64 colors ... no EHB :-
Some refs used by VR Life by dannypyle (CC3)


Colormanagement and pixeldither diversity took me the most time :-P


Worktime about: 55 hours
Tools of choice: Grafx2 + Dpaint4 

1st place @68k-Inside 
Commodoe Amiga OCS/ECS
320x256px | 32colors (5bpp) out of 4096 col

Very nice. My fav bit is the collar where the hatching seems to follow the shape

@jok, sometimes I miss the days before Internet.
Btw. this work was done without AI. And like the title says
"Escape from Metaverse"
it's more a criticism of nowadays art. ;-)

How do people blend all these colors together so perfectly? The depth of detail just doesn't seem real to me!

Thanks @HarveyDentMustDie, it's always a pleasure to draw technical, shiny things.

Masterfull as always. If we disregard obvious high points, that ear piece attracted nice amount of my attention. I love the shapes and how it looks like a part of actual existing technology.

Thank you CELS, I used many sci-fi references and also the movie "Ender's Game" as source for inspiration. I first made a high res sketch with my Wacom tablet and used GrafX2 to create the final image and for the dithering ...

I just love your art so much. The pixeldither diversity was time well spent! May I ask what your references / inspirations were?
