Here it is, my entry for this weeks' challenge! Thanks to Frankiesmileshow for such a great theme (you a tarot fan, Frankie?) :D Trivia: the only 'green' color in the picture, is actually a pure gray tone, but it looks greenish due to the rest of the palette. How our senses are easily deceived!

Sorry, they're more of a reddish gray. xD

iLKke (Level 9 Nidan) @ 1/6/2011 11:33

@ Lucas: Zoom in and look at the trees ;)

ellie-is (Level 5 Assistant Manager) @ 1/2/2011 23:55

I can't see any greens. I guess my senses aren't as easily.

...or maybe it has to the with the fact that I'm partially colourblind. :P
But just out of curiosity, where was the green supposed to be?

NobleValerian (Level 6 Manager) @ 12/29/2010 13:37

great colors, great piece!!!

Romson (Level 8 Cannibal) @ 11/27/2010 11:57

Wow! Excellent job!

allaze-eroler (Level 1 Rookie) @ 10/29/2010 10:16

when i see it, it remind me one movie called "highlander" XD

avo (Level 8 Cannibal) @ 7/13/2010 11:13

006 (Level 2 Corporal) @ 12/19/2008 19:18

I love the shading of the bricks, and the tower.

ManningKrull (Level 9 Executioner) @ 12/3/2008 10:16

I love the fluid look of the lightning!

Pat (Level 1 Gangster) @ 9/20/2008 03:36

Very beautiful I add in my favorites

toony747 (Level 1 Thug) @ 9/18/2008 08:27

this looks pretty cool....

Dr.naCo (Level 1 Rookie) @ 9/9/2008 14:51

I love the moon is beatiful

AndyOaks (Level 1 Rookie) @ 3/19/2008 01:59

Your lighting is excellent. I love the details on the little characters being thrown from the tower.
Good work.

Miumau0 (Level 6 Made) @ 11/29/2007 05:55

16 colors! O __ o I like the lighting, its beautiful Eagle makes the picture more perfect. I like thee trees also. 5/5

Max Stalker (Level 1 Rookie) @ 11/10/2007 03:37

Simply amazing 0_0

Kaz21 (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 10/18/2007 19:04

I love the lightning strike and how the tower crumbles.

zennext (Level 1 Intern) @ 9/22/2007 04:10

I really like it! Especially the thing you did with the green!

pain (Level 9 Nidan) @ 5/4/2007 13:25

nice as always ... castle rocks :)

Mr.Pharand (Level 2 Quiet One) @ 4/20/2007 13:43

Wow. Just awesome. I can't think of a single thing wrong with it. I mean, the lightning looks a little flat, but hell, I consider that part of the style of it. The moon, tower, background, all very, very nice.

Josiah (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 4/15/2007 15:04

heh, 2nd on challenge, AND 2nd on Top month

congrats

Guts (Level 2 Corporal) @ 4/13/2007 12:54

Very impressive, look like Amiga or Atari ST rendering game style. Cool !

rats (Level 1 Gangster) @ 3/20/2007 06:07

Make some more pixels please!

rajkosk8 (Level 5 Detective) @ 3/20/2007 05:05

super i like the action and stiff dead figure of a right guy flying thru da air.
is that rock falling onto left guys head no its sombrero :D

TreborReitnemrap (Level 1 Rookie) @ 3/17/2007 11:59

I like how the birds just chillin. Like, "Oh, would you look at that."

sausage (Level 5 Sniper) @ 3/15/2007 01:09

Great work on making the building Crumble!

Biffo (Level 1 Rookie) @ 3/14/2007 11:21

This thing rocks.

iLKke (Level 9 Nidan) @ 3/14/2007 07:40

Silly me. I used an old version of Promotion.

Gas 13 (Level 9 Boss) @ 3/14/2007 04:43

A very silly thing is to call it silly instead of answering the question.

iLKke (Level 9 Nidan) @ 3/14/2007 04:24

@gas: that was a very silly thing to say, there are several imperfections on the AA of the lightning

Gas 13 (Level 9 Boss) @ 3/13/2007 18:20

Wondering what's your tool for pixelart? It seems like AA is somewhat generated for the lightning.

drZool (Level 6 Serial Killer) @ 3/12/2007 03:09

Yeah it's tough competition (My first), good luck to you and all other entries. I love your entry. It made me push my self on my entry.

HeroMan (Level 3 Enforcer) @ 3/11/2007 22:46

JerryPie (Level 11 Big Foot) @ 3/10/2007 19:47

What is this weeks challenge? I would like to enter it.

inkspot (Level 4 Button Man) @ 3/10/2007 08:40

This is such a good picture that I may even give up this weeks comp... I love the motion it has, those people falling there really add much personality to this perfectly rendered picture. Only thing I don't quite like, is the weird shaped lightning, its a bit overreacted compared to the rest of the piece. But overall it has nice HAGAR feel to it.

Feron (Level 4 Mercenary) @ 3/10/2007 04:20

The best thing i've seen all year (2007). Awesome style, great pixelling and it works so very well.

Elk (Level 5 Assistant Manager) @ 3/10/2007 04:07

i agree with fool ^^

Fool (Level 6 SWAT) @ 3/9/2007 18:12

That's just awesome, everything balanced so well...=)

iLKke (Level 9 Nidan) @ 3/9/2007 01:21

Wow thanks for all the positive feedback!

Setzer (Level 8 Cannibal) @ 3/8/2007 18:31

Love the rocks.... they rock.

khorin (Level 3 Enforcer) @ 3/8/2007 16:43

A definitely beautiful piece you have here. My favorites would have to be the moon and the quarry (sp?). Great job!

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) @ 3/8/2007 16:42

-IMPRESSIVE-

grave (Level 9 Federal Agent) @ 3/8/2007 15:08

Well i guess i might as well already give up then :p

Imagician (Level 5 Rokkyu) @ 3/8/2007 13:14

I really like that "chiseled" style (bricks, wings...) and the adorable use of the palette for the shading and the background stuff. Also, the moon's corona adds nicely to the atmosphere (though I think it needs more clouds in real life, since it's an atmospheric (pun unintended

) effect). The only thing disturbing my eye is the crooked treetop far left. Your installment comes very close to the 16th card of the Major Arcana

Christopher (Level 5 Killer Klown) @ 3/8/2007 13:08

Ah. i love this especially the background for some reason.

FearMyFox (Level 1 Rookie) @ 3/8/2007 12:15

Lovely, brings back memories of Abe's Oddysey of some reason. *nudge nudge* But the eagle need some better shadowing.

exocet (Level 6 Major) @ 3/8/2007 11:02

Wow, that looks amazing! Great style and colours and very detailed!

Dra_chan (Level 8 Shodan) @ 3/8/2007 10:51

Wow, I like everything about it. Good job, I agree this is the best so far.

Jonathan (Level 1 Thug) @ 3/8/2007 10:42

Really nice job you did there =)

Doppleganger (Level 6 Yonkyu) @ 3/8/2007 10:35

This is too good to ignore. I really love how brilliant the browns are in comparison to everything else. The palette is worked extremely well and borders on the effects I would, one day, like to achieve. Really good stuff, I'll have to fav it.
