I are loving this shark! Good dithering. I wish I could do that.
Retro_crow (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/30/2009 7:19:04 AM
cool. I like that the choice u made on the outline.
WAR95 (Level 1 Depressed) at 8/2/2009 2:49:07 AM
I actually quite like this though I think the shape on the head is a bit odd.

RPG_Boy (Level 4 Lieutenant) at 6/7/2009 4:47:17 PM
i never really liked this pixel but its starting to grow on me, i really like it now
Vectomon (Level 1 Depressed) at 3/25/2009 6:35:07 PM
I love how you could keep the cartonn-ish style while making it realistic-ish. My favourite-ish.

I remeber this piece when i was back in school and loved it, im glad to see it once again :D RAWR Namre (Level 1 Jukyu) at 1/9/2009 7:00:32 AM
I have the same reaction as FishBoy's, When I first saw the image, I was like "I don't see anything special". Don't get me wrong, yes, I'm fairly new to the world of pixel art but I have seen better and more complex works here in this site, no offense meant to the artist, of course.So I guess the problem here is really with the way the Hall of Fame rating system works as brought up by pixelaro.
Peace out, guys! Just sharing my insights.
pixelaro (Level 1 Rookie) at 11/22/2008 1:30:59 PM
Thanks for taking it that way. My issue is, as you say, with the hall of fame and way it's set up for old pieces to stay on top. Lots of great art down on the bottom of the hall of fame will never have a chance of passing a piece that users will se every other pageview in the hall of fame box. On the first page now there's no work more recent than from 2006, there is one piece from january 2008 on the 3rd page, (which should perhaps be on top 5/10 overall) one from january on the 6th page etc. Basicly i agree with you that the system isn't working, though I guess the way it is now has it's adventages too, Fool having half the first page would make the rest of us look terrible. :P
I think letting the pieces be rated by average score (with an initial minimum amount of votes criteria) would be better. We'll have people rating everything 1's and such bullshit but that can be nullified by some moderation, guess I'll just send this to a moderator as well and hear what they think.
Blick (Level 6 Commander) at 11/20/2008 5:57:09 PM
I definitely agree with you pixelaro. I've always felt the hall of fame wasn't necessarily rigged, but definitely caters to pieces that were popular from the start of Pixeljoint. I'm not sure how the hall of fame system could be fixed into being more fair, so I've never really brought it up with anyone.This piece, along with many others in the hall of fame are sort of grandfathered in, which sucks for anything new trying to get in.
No offense taken, as your bewilderment is shared by me.
pixelaro (Level 1 Rookie) at 11/14/2008 11:07:19 AM
Well I'd have to disagree with you again jalonso. I agree that the pixel art techniques are decent in this piece, but that is all. They are not exceptional, and almost any piece that is in the weekly showcase at all has better pixel art technique than this. IMO(of course) this was a good piece from a good and popular pixel artist that got high on the rankings really early and then stayed there because its on the top of the hall of fame and that is usually where most new users start/vote. Not trying to take anything away from blick but I just can not see what is exceptional about this pixel compared to the rest of his work?
Just stating again that I don't have anything against blick or this piece, I just think that its not exceptional/top of line/very best of Pixeljoint material and if the hall of fame was made from average blue dots instead of total amount of blue dots this would not be on the 4th spot.
jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) at 10/29/2008 2:38:51 PM
@FishBoy, This pixel has been in the gallery since 2004. In 4 years it has gained enough blue dots to make it this high. I will disagree that it doesn't belong. We pixel artists take pixelart techniques as the most important aspect of the artform. This deceptively simple pixelart has superb pixelling techniques. The ditheing is just enough, the AA is modest and perfect, the use of secondary lighting is a true skill. The lineart is very clean and full of personality. I could go on and on about it. In time you will probably see this with different eyes and come to see it does belong in the Hall of Fame. FishBoy (Level 1 Private) at 10/29/2008 2:24:09 PM
How could this ever become #4 in hall of fame? Its very nice but not that good.
Crosell (Level 1 Gangster) at 10/23/2008 12:21:48 PM
I kinda like it, but I'm having a hard time with all of that dithered pixels. I think you over did it with the dither on this one. But okay other then that you made quite a good pixel art shark there :)
Raven Studios (Level 1 Private) at 8/20/2008 3:31:49 AM
I don't really like the... Sharp.. Head very much, but everyone else pretty much said what I want too. brambekker (Level 1 Thug) at 8/9/2008 10:33:44 AM
orange glow is cool =D and btw you little bit over-used dithering but that gives a nice effect LeafNinjaTsunade (Level 1 Depressed) at 7/30/2008 1:34:12 PM
Love the teeth and the orange glow 
It looks really niceand he's so cute X3
PeanutButter (Level 1 Depressed) at 7/20/2008 9:59:53 PM
lol this one is really nice. I like his smile ;)
v9v9v9 (Level 3 Hatchet Man) at 4/19/2008 4:33:08 AM
Orange glow is awesome.. it brings a sunset kinda feeling behind the shark... awesome 
Majestic Fox (Level 3 Corporate Drone) at 4/6/2008 1:02:57 PM
That orange glow is...sinister. I love it.
y3an (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/30/2008 4:08:44 PM
This orange light is very intresting :I never use this kind of lightning :[
I should !!!
FridayFrancis (Level 1 Seaman) at 1/6/2008 10:44:28 PM
I especially love the shading on the teeth, and the orangey glow on the right side.
LeJourVert (Level 1 Rookie) at 11/11/2007 1:28:12 AM
Reminds me of Bruce from Finding Nemo. Good job :D.
Doomcreator0 (Level 5 Detective) at 9/6/2007 1:29:18 PM
Incredible transitions on the shark man. I also like how part of his head is just a 90 degree angle. It gives it a very nice cartoonish look.
silent sniper (Level 1 Depressed) at 9/5/2007 9:28:04 PM
every time i see this in the hall'o fame sidebar thingie i always click on it.
Stinky (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/15/2007 4:48:02 PM
OMG, this is GREAT! Wow, that is a really good shark! TylerDS (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/8/2007 3:31:57 AM
Oh my, that is spectacular, great job. You should make more with this general format. Great!
Varock Shade (Level 7 Underboss) at 6/25/2007 7:35:10 AM
i see this piece regularly in the corner off the hall of fame. Although it looks very nice theres one thing that bothers me since the first time i saw it; the eyebrows are so thin and weak, while the shark with its teeth jaws and stance suggests its mighty and strong. As i said, besides that very nice!
he'd look way cooler with sunglasses MediYama (Level 1 Depressed) at 6/11/2007 7:51:46 AM
I think he just wanted it to be toonyIt's awesome, nice work.
billi999 (Level 1 Rookie) at 5/20/2007 6:06:19 AM
It's awesome, but I don't see why you made the head square 
Packrat (Level 7 General Manager) at 1/11/2007 12:42:04 AM
The caracter design is just awesome, and the teeth look so shiny. Second lightsource rules! :)
Josiah (Level 8 Marshal) at 12/18/2006 6:05:49 PM
this is greatalthough i dunno why it has a square head any way this is great
Scotteh (Level 1 Jukyu) at 12/17/2006 3:37:06 AM
the teeth look so real and very nice uyse of dithering
AwesomePossum (Level 1 Thug) at 12/16/2006 12:07:36 AM
I love the big chompers and the cartoon style eyebrows. But I like the orange glow on the right side the most. I think it adds a little.....uuuhhhhhhh.......
.....hmmmmmm.......it adds something! Great job! 
Toonses (Level 1 Quiet One) at 11/28/2006 6:18:41 PM
From the colour choices to the mocking posture, square head and enormous teeth, this piece blows my mind. I really love how jagged he is, I feel anti-aliasing would detract from the feel of the piece immensly. Just plain awesome overall.
chess (Level 8 Shodan) at 11/1/2006 7:31:54 AM
yeah its really great! it has a harsh style i think and i really like those things;)
Snogger (Level 1 Rookie) at 11/1/2006 1:40:39 AM
wow! XD love his grin! and the awsome orange and blue mix. i love sharks Dragen (Level 1 Rookie) at 10/10/2006 3:22:24 PM
great everything, but I think you should AA the eyebrows or make them 45 degree angles, they look too sloppy. 
ChrisoOo (Level 1 Hired Gun) at 9/23/2006 10:50:33 PM
Yeah, I love the ambient lighting, perfected.
Great job!
Sohashu (Level 7 Sheriff) at 9/16/2006 5:43:48 AM
nice use of ambient lighting. love the square head. 
mentos (Level 4 Mercenary) at 8/14/2006 4:34:08 PM
Looks nice i liek the cartoonish style keep it up GJ
buloght (Level 6 Hitman) at 8/10/2006 3:27:11 AM
Those teeth are amazing. I agree with Setzer on the flaws and have found my own ...... yep that's it.
Setzer (Level 8 Cannibal) at 6/2/2006 2:21:13 PM
Now that I've improved abit, and can point out negativities, I thought I would point out the flaws in this work.Yep, thats it.
jessi (Level 1 Rookie) at 5/29/2006 1:44:35 AM
COOL, KOOL, KEWL. THIS IS GREAT. IT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES 
Afflict (Level 4 Lieutenant) at 5/3/2006 11:44:02 PM
