My entry for the cgempire challenge.

Some winter scouts from a winter land, they are a rogue-like race that lives in the harsh winter, they have perfect vision through the heavy snow and can see see threats easily. The mammoth are also unique type of mammoth that aid the snow race.

No specific ref used.

khorin (Level 3 Enforcer) @ 1/27/2007 16:20
Thanks for providing the WIP!

I must say you did a great job with the composition as well bringing attention to depth by going the atmospheric route. Truly beautiful indeed.

your good, but you knew that.  i love the effects you use to add so much depth

user
Dra_chan (Level 8 Shodan) @ 1/7/2007 12:35
Best mamuts ever!

user
buloght (Level 6 Centaur) @ 1/4/2007 12:39
big brother: Yes, you are right, it also bends a little at places, I just went with misshaped as opposed to perfect handle, it is also supposed to angle forward slightly, i hope it doesn't look too bad :D The leader eye color is also in the mammoth eyes. I did use a few colors too many, haha, i was aiming for 32.

2dgamers: Haha, I should work on my games more

user
big brother (Level 11 Admiral) @ 1/4/2007 11:47

Didn't notice it at first, but the spear closest to us seems to vary in thickness. I feel ashamed to even bring up this niggle. :)

Are the leader's eyes a unique color?


user
2dgamers (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 1/4/2007 08:32
buloght, now I understand why you can't make a game... you're too busy making these wonderful masterpieces!!! If game design cramps your style in any way, I'd say forget the games and keep making these wonderful images. Great job, as always.

user
buloght (Level 6 Centaur) @ 1/4/2007 08:11
Thanks for kind comments :)

Fantastic! Really clean and crisp and it sets a great mood.

Have a 'fav' on me!

user
Packrat (Level 7 General Manager) @ 1/2/2007 23:37
Oh this is lovely. I like your style a lot, and this piece has its own mood. Rock on!

user
iSTVAN (Level 8 Cannibal) @ 1/2/2007 05:53
Lovely work on this buloght. In my opinion this one creates the best sense of depth of all of your scenes. I really dig the mix of grey/blue, the snow in the foreground and the blue outlines on the mammoths in the background. The simplified trees are also very effective. Great stuff mate.

user
buloght (Level 6 Centaur) @ 1/2/2007 03:26
Sorry for double post.

Mrmo tarius: thanks!

user
buloght (Level 6 Centaur) @ 1/2/2007 03:25
big brother: Thank you. And for all your advice over the last year.
darth: thanks darth :)
ZoSo: Thanks
horcy: Thanks!
ElectroNico: Thanks!
jalonso: Thanks haha, I don't usually start with highlights, but I got stuck with the fur trying to fo from shadow, I needed to know where the final fur/snow highlights/light would be.

user
jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) @ 1/2/2007 00:21
Great pixel, duh. That WIP was a true visual delight.
I found it most interesting that you too begin shading with highlights.

user
ElectroNico (Level 6 Serial Killer) @ 1/2/2007 00:13
Greaaaaaaat Work !!

user
Mrmo Tarius (Level 10 Master Sniper) @ 1/1/2007 18:08

I get home from a weekend at the beach and I see the snow ... What a way to ring in the new year ;)

Outstanding work my friend!  You keep improving with each piece.

And the WIP was great to see!  Keep on keeping on man!

Cure: I'd say Fool and Snake is taking over the monthly competitions. Haha, I know you've got something up yer sleeve for this month

Fool: I am jealous of every aspect of your work. You and snake are fast becoming my favourite pixellers.

RED, nihilyst, Mirre, equinoxx, krysis: Thank you

user
cure (Level 11 Pixellite) @ 1/1/2007 11:32
Buloght, you have once again foiled my plans for a monthly trophy.  I think you, Snake, and Mirre are conspiring.

user
Equinoxx (Level 3 Stalker) @ 1/1/2007 11:16
this is awesome the lighting is ace and I really love how natural it all looks

user
Mirre (Level 9 Whale Shark) @ 1/1/2007 08:51
This piece is just great! I really like how you've captured the feeling of a storm with it snowing like that, the dark sky, heavy shading, and the other scouts sort of blurry. I can practically hear the wind, hehe. I really like the snowflakes too. What an awesome piece!

user
Krysis (Level 6 Serial Killer) @ 1/1/2007 07:49
You rule, sir. I love this! Awesome job!

user
nihilyst (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 1/1/2007 07:48

Thanks guys :D.

Omegavolt: thanks, I also love to see WIP from people.
B.O.B: I tried to add style to them.

user
The B.O.B. (Level 11 Master Assassin) @ 1/1/2007 06:31
Wow. I love your scenes. They seem to convey some type of traveling, or migration in your subjects. The only problem I see with this is that the hunters heads seem very tiny in comparison with their bodies. Was this intended, as they are a different race? Other than that, this is another great scene from you. Love the stuff.

user
Setzer (Level 8 Cannibal) @ 1/1/2007 05:50
I defenitely like it.

user
Omegavolt (Level 2 Petty Officer) @ 1/1/2007 05:47
