Hi everyone,

Rats and buloght had directed me over to this great pixel art site.

This is a piece I did for the Light Fantastic challenge over at CGEmpire.com. It's two furry buddies enjoying the night view of the city.

Sorry I don't have much pixel work to show at the moment, hopefully I'll have more in the future. Nice to meet you, guys and gals!

Wow, so sweet !! This is very pretty...

Caniun (Level 1 Depressed) at 8/15/2008 11:17:08 AM
Fantasmerific job

Strider (Level 1 Rookie) at 6/19/2008 3:57:12 PM
Very nice one, great ambiance
It reminds me some Hayao Miyazaki's cartoons.

Nora (Level 1 Depressed) at 4/11/2008 1:03:23 PM
I adore the colours you used! The blue reflexes a very friendly mood.

Pocket Clouds (Level 1 Gangster) at 4/7/2008 5:07:17 AM
Fantastic and not only the light. Magical atmosphere.

Bloo (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 3/30/2008 10:44:21 PM
Radiant colors, dude!

Blu (Level 1 Depressed) at 1/30/2008 6:19:22 PM
That is so adorable in a flippin' sweet and awesome way. XD Love the contrast of the city with the animals and balloon. The patch just makes it. :3

demes (Level 1 Rookie) at 1/20/2008 4:27:41 AM
the colours and details in this are just breath taking.

Majestic Fox (Level 3 Corporate Drone) at 1/13/2008 4:59:40 PM
I saw that floating over my house once!

MrMister (Level 1 Depressed) at 9/11/2007 6:11:57 PM
Cute, man. Just cute.

rajkosk8 (Level 3 Private Eye) at 3/21/2007 7:09:59 AM
Great composition and details of city simply charming ;)

Jellysauce (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/11/2007 10:43:48 AM
I love it. a favorite of mine for sure.

LEGAS (Level 1 Rookie) at 2/18/2007 7:05:37 PM
Hi, i am a programmer and publicist, my speciality is program in GameMaker (i have an advanced level), i think that me and you can make a very well done game. Please, consider my proposal and reply me if do you want to do it.

cocefi (Level 1 Depressed) at 2/18/2007 7:35:26 AM

Thanks guys!

Boder: LOL... blue probably reflects my mood when I did those pieces... 


Boder (Level 2 Corporal) at 2/15/2007 8:19:00 PM
I had to check your gallery after seeing your other piece. I remember this. You like blue

nihilyst (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 1/21/2007 6:03:53 AM
Lovely, and great use of colours.

andare (Level 1 Quiet One) at 10/19/2006 11:45:08 PM
This is great. A lot of people think pixel art is easy because it's just a bunch of squares with a limited color palette. Now if they only tried it once...

cocefi (Level 1 Depressed) at 10/16/2006 9:34:22 AM

Thanks everyone!

Darth Mandarb: Thanks for pointing it out! Those were the first few buildings that I pixeled in and it seems that I've forgotten to make them consistent with the rest when everything was done.


Darth Mandarb (Level 7 Mass Murderer) at 10/16/2006 4:30:29 AM
Excellent!

I didn't notice it until zooming in on the image ... but there are two buildings on the lower left side of the image that have an extra color (looks black) on some of the outlines.  It caught my eye (on zoom in only) and seemd "off" a little ... but that's just a teenie-tiny minor thing, the image is great!

THE KAPPTIN (Level 5 Captain) at 10/15/2006 6:00:22 PM
Awesome piece. Extremely reminiscent of anime where you have a carefully painted background with cel-shaded characters animated on top of it (also reminiscent of anime in that it has cute characters in a really neat scene). Cool.

bren (Level 1 Depressed) at 10/15/2006 5:42:31 AM
This is really great! good use of figure ground.

f-m (Level 1 Jukyu) at 10/15/2006 2:10:23 AM
I adore this :D

Dra_chan (Level 8 Shodan) at 10/14/2006 9:00:19 PM
It has only nine colors, all shades of blue and white, but it looks really fantastic. Great design too. Fav.

Mykola (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 10/14/2006 11:09:17 AM
I must say I disagree with all the critique said before, I love every single part of it, the characters, the scenery, the lighting and the colors!

=^D Guy (Level 3 Enforcer) at 10/14/2006 10:55:26 AM

My god, may those guys eat our souls. Anyways, I agree with what Those people say about the palette.


DrNoodles (Level 1 Intern) at 10/14/2006 10:30:15 AM
I wish I was in the baloon. Looks awesome. Keep it up.

exocet (Level 5 Captain) at 10/14/2006 2:43:04 AM
Great! Nice composition and palette.

Mowzr (Level 1 Quiet One) at 10/14/2006 2:10:26 AM
 Oh geez.. This is totally my kind of thing. This is so beautiful. Definately a keeper. It's so magical feeling. I love it. 5/5. Fav'd.

cocefi (Level 1 Depressed) at 10/13/2006 8:42:45 PM

Thanks everyone! All your feedbacks have been noted.

Ah, I failed to notice 'lasso' effect while I was pixeling it, thanks for pointing it out!


Macks (Level 5 Detective) at 10/13/2006 8:11:50 PM
Very cool. Some of the best usage of a monochromatic pallete I've seen.

Sohashu (Level 7 Sheriff) at 10/13/2006 6:43:47 PM
Really cool.  This is so Fav'd. 

milkyjon (Level 4 Murderer) at 10/13/2006 4:47:12 PM
I really like this, one of the characters looks more like a cat than a bunny tho as hes got tiny ears...it dont really matter tho. fav

Afflict (Level 3 Sergeant) at 10/13/2006 1:22:34 PM
Elegant style, looks good. It's dufficult getting so much detail in pixel art and youve achieved it.

Great work!

Blackbeltdude (Level 2 Kukyu) at 10/13/2006 1:22:32 PM
Pretty cool! I love the colors, all 9 of em. :P

I can't think of anything that could make this any better, but for the sake of trying, dithering in the sky might have helped. But honestly, that's a mute point, the style of this is awesome.

Arithmetician (Level 4 Deputy) at 10/13/2006 1:16:39 PM
Nice colours! Cute animals! \(^o^)/

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) at 10/13/2006 11:38:44 AM
Not really a harsh crit but I saw that too right away and thought it was too abstract to explain, thanks miascugh.

SeanGraal (Level 1 Rookie) at 10/13/2006 10:25:29 AM
one word - amazing... some more words-- so detailed ..9 colors? shall i bow?

FlyGuy (Level 7 Underboss) at 10/13/2006 10:22:43 AM

Very nice job. I love the detail of the city.


Mirre (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 10/13/2006 10:01:27 AM
Wow! This is great!!! I really really like the colours you have used, and how you've used them (very smooth for only 9 :O). You have also done a super awesome job with the things on the ground.

miascugh (Level 4 Team Leader) at 10/13/2006 9:28:15 AM
Haha, this is great. There's one thing that stuck out to me, and that's the compositionally disadvantageous run of the two streets to the right. They seem to exactly connect with the rim of the basket, which makes the whole thing look a bit like a lasso :)

Great atmosphere, great background, no technical critique really. Ever thought about trying a bichromatic colorscheme throughout the making? (you know, something like artificial light versus moon light)

Ocean's Dream (Level 3 Private Eye) at 10/13/2006 9:14:08 AM
Very nice, I like it. The city's nice, and the animals are cute. Awesome.

cocefi (Level 1 Depressed) at 10/13/2006 9:08:02 AM
Shaffa: Thanks! I started by laying down the highways which helps divide the land into smaller manageble pieces. Then I start pixeling in the buildings as I go along and made changes to them if they don't go along well. I would say it's more instinctively pixeled as I didn't really plan out where all the tiny building goes. 

cocefi (Level 1 Depressed) at 10/13/2006 8:59:49 AM

Thanks for the comments everyone

Godslayer: I'll try to put more time into the characters next time. Thanks for the feedback!

jalonso: Thanks! I often use swirlies in my work too.


Shaffa (Level 1 Private) at 10/13/2006 8:58:04 AM
yay! this made my day!
how did you do the city? what steps did you take? what did you begin with? was it structured or did you instinctively pixelated until you found an order?

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) at 10/13/2006 8:56:10 AM
Welcome! This is really good.
At first I thought it was made by another member here (Krysys) since he often uses that 'swirly" that's on the balloon's basket.

Godslayer (Level 2 Corporal) at 10/13/2006 8:30:43 AM
The characters are a little generic, but I enjoy the atmosphere.

Fred (Level 3 Enforcer) at 10/13/2006 8:19:37 AM
Soo cute ! Great work, cocefi, this is beautiful.

Lawrence (Level 10 Operative) at 10/13/2006 8:19:08 AM
I love the sense of depth in this, it's amazing.

ulbandi (Level 1 Quiet One) at 10/13/2006 8:07:58 AM
Wonderful! I love it.

8bitty (Level 2 Quiet One) at 10/13/2006 7:57:35 AM
love it so much : )

Blueberry_pie (Level 7 General Manager) at 10/13/2006 7:50:34 AM
Whoa, that's amazing. Love the colours.
Really looking forward to seeing more of your work!

Atooi (Level 5 Soldier) at 10/13/2006 7:47:12 AM
Love it!                  

maloART (Level 5 Serial Killer) at 10/13/2006 7:45:09 AM
I, too have seen this one before and really love the concept, colours and rendering. 6/7

thor (Level 1 Depressed) at 10/13/2006 7:44:12 AM
Lovely colors. The bunnies are cute.

rats (Level 1 Gangster) at 10/13/2006 7:38:18 AM
I too love this! Fav.

buloght (Level 6 SWAT) at 10/13/2006 7:25:27 AM
