Dino502Run (Level 6 Serial Killer) @ 9/9/2009 18:36

I want to plant one in my yard XD

This is really really good

Fool (Level 6 SWAT) @ 7/9/2009 07:58

I think you misinterpret the meaning of these challenges.=) Main goal would be to get lazy butts involved into pixeling by giving inspiration or motivation for. Everyone who submit a piece is a winner. Ribbons are just cute little pixels.=)

slym (Level 8 Cannelé) @ 7/8/2009 15:18

I feel bad for the other contestents in that contest.

I loved it when you posted it, I love it after all this time. It just doesn't get old. Amazing piece, thank you for sharing.

Antago (Level 1 Rookie) @ 4/21/2008 12:47

that is gorgeous!!!!

Pandora (Level 2 Corporal) @ 3/9/2008 23:19

This is excellent, Fool! Perhaps you should try implementing it into a scene of some sort.

mr mushroom (Level 1 Thug) @ 1/30/2008 01:37

whoa, such details. great job.

demes (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 1/20/2008 04:16

love the details of the leaves. great work

Zweckform (Level 1 Intern) @ 12/27/2007 02:43

Piece of art. Just beautiful.

Miumau0 (Level 6 Made) @ 12/2/2007 10:36

amazin' . . . You should add some more leaves front of it.

ultima (Level 2 Hired Gun) @ 11/27/2007 12:47

i would so love to chop that down with an axe, genius

DevonR (Level 1 Intern) @ 11/3/2007 18:51

Excellent tree! Although rather large leaves.

Akaimakai (Level 4 Deputy) @ 10/25/2007 02:12

Every piece of your art is a wonderfull moment for me ! Thank you very much !!!

Kaz21 (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 10/18/2007 21:29

That is amazing! It's all very smooth and has a nice mix of colours! Fav'd!

Foxbane (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 9/26/2007 02:38

The dark, tangled web of branches and the smoothly shaded purple on the leaves is what caught my eye. I enjoyed giving this one a long inspection. :D

ice9 (Level 1 Gangster) @ 7/16/2007 07:02

The thing I admire most in ur artworks is the blending of colours, you are really mastering palette setup. Thanks for sharing!

beatleux (Level 1 Private) @ 7/12/2007 21:19

Wow.

What else can I say?

Dr. Morph (Level 1 Rookie) @ 6/13/2007 06:24

I screamed out "wow" when I saw this. Amazing.

soda (Level 10 President) @ 6/11/2007 05:42

Congrats on winning!

MediYama (Level 1 Depressed) @ 6/10/2007 10:55

Heh, those are big leaves. Great job.

Ocean's Dream (Level 4 Mercenary) @ 6/9/2007 22:31

Wonderful tree, interesting design. It'll inspire me when I work on trees of my own. Keep it up!

Presley (Level 1 Seaman) @ 6/8/2007 17:04

Elk, I feel as if the leaves are in the post-green, soon to fall off stage where they go from waxy and oily to dry. I would prefer dry though. ;@

Still completely awesome.

Elk (Level 6 Saber-toothed Tiger) @ 6/8/2007 15:56

hmmm you could have made the leaves a bit sharper :3?

Emanu (Level 3 Chief) @ 6/7/2007 08:47

oh my, this actually dropped my jaw for real. lovely lovely!

Packrat (Level 7 General Manager) @ 6/7/2007 03:01

I'm crying out of happiness and jealosy. This is amazing, this is stunning, the colors, design, everything. Even the subject. Enlighten us, show us what goes around in that brilliant head of yours and some day post a link where we can see how your drawing process goes.

kakikukeko (Level 5 Detective) @ 6/6/2007 23:50

beautiful colors& design... I don't know if you keep improving , but I'm more and more impressed with each of your latest works...

Inferno.Fighter.IV (Level 1 Rookie) @ 6/6/2007 12:34

Wow, it's amazing. Only 21 colors... I'm working on my first Pixel Art, I have 19 colors already, and mine isn't nearly as well blended.

Luther (Level 1 Rookie) @ 6/6/2007 06:15

Very nice indeedy

apanserdig (Level 2 Quiet One) @ 6/5/2007 23:33

Jolly good!

Fool (Level 6 SWAT) @ 6/5/2007 09:18

Thanks, guys, i'm really flattered.=)

BlackFang, It has many disturbings in it to declare it in classical harmony unpleasant looking=)
Thats a well known neighborhood of green and red, disproportion between trunk and leaves, curveneess of trunk and squareness of the leaves crown, compositionally point of interest located right in a middle where actually nothing interesting, trunk is volumed while leaves crown is flat and so on.=)

jazcks (Level 6 Serial Killer) @ 6/5/2007 08:11

its almost real

exocet (Level 6 Major) @ 6/5/2007 04:56

Amazing! Love the leaves texture and the purple-ish shadows.

sausage (Level 5 Sniper) @ 6/4/2007 23:41

Just how the hell do you do that....? Its Brilliant!

JayCain (Level 1 Intern) @ 6/4/2007 21:43

I absolutely love it!

CircleOfTheDarkOnes (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 6/4/2007 21:41

Holy freaking crap, that's good.

EDIT: Oh, this is by fool. All his stuff's good.

BlackFang (Level 6 Hitman) @ 6/4/2007 19:38

I dont think it fits the challenge... its beautifull in any way

the only think i dislike is the size of the leaves

Xion Night (Level 1 Thug) @ 6/4/2007 19:38

Man, I really love all of your stuff. I know, who doesn't, but as many other skilled artists there are 'round these parts, I can always pick out one of yours before I ever even see your name.
But anyway, man, brilliant work,
as always.

Feron (Level 4 Mercenary) @ 6/4/2007 14:25

best pixel tree i've seen. Great pallette. I don't fav many pieces, but this is one of them.

Mrmo Tarius (Level 10 Master Sniper) @ 6/4/2007 14:12

this is like, the best pixel poison tree I've ever seen O_o

Fool (Level 6 SWAT) @ 6/4/2007 11:09

The B.O.B., yeah, those things are intentionally disturbing.=)

Well, i didn't expect to win that since I'm clueless in fighting, but anyway...
How about drinking compo?=)) Tequilla just fine.=)

The B.O.B. (Level 11 Master Assassin) @ 6/4/2007 10:23

Pshh! Up to more shrubbery, are we? Oh well. You stole my vote, you filthy Russian. But that's ok, since this piece actually deserves to be there. This looks lovely, to be honest. I would just say, that I personally don't like the peach colored thorns too much. They don't blend well, in my book. It still looks great though.
But heed my warning, old man: Soon, I shall trump thee into oblivion, in future challenges!!!...or Violin building...or whatever competition you prefer...you've been warned...

Leath (Level 2 Kukyu) @ 6/4/2007 10:23

gdapbrdkfiKLshuisfubsrlnmkq!! How? You gotta teach me!!! :P
Youre so goooooooooooood. The texturing on the leaves are fantastic! ^^

schrumpfkopf (Level 4 Team Leader) @ 6/4/2007 10:21

outstanding as allways

Guts (Level 2 Corporal) @ 6/4/2007 09:35

it's always attractive to see your work.

ESA (Level 2 Dealer) @ 6/4/2007 08:55

nice contrast with the brown and green. good work!

DelphinusMach1 (Level 1 Intern) @ 6/4/2007 08:39

Another classic Fool piece. Well done and faved.

macula (Level 6 Hitman) @ 6/4/2007 08:30

Great piece. Love the colors and shading.

Doppleganger (Level 6 Yonkyu) @ 6/4/2007 08:23

This is a real lovely piece. There's not much more I can say about it that hasn't been said but, the depth created in the middle of the gnarled mass is most impressive. Fabulous work!

elend (Level 3 Corporate Drone) @ 6/4/2007 06:55

Awesome! Really love the detailed leafes

jujucece (Level 1 Gangster) @ 6/4/2007 06:46

Wahouuu, it's really, really impressive !

buloght (Level 6 Centaur) @ 6/4/2007 06:17

Amazing

Gas 13 (Level 9 Boss) @ 6/4/2007 04:07

Simply beautiful.

philipptr (Level 4 Team Leader) @ 6/4/2007 04:04

it's green, it's st0ven, it's faved :)
seriously though, it really reminds me of st0vens work, for some strange reason (havent analysed his pieces, nor your work so I can't tell why). That's something great of course ;)
only one very small critiquepoint: the area where the second right top leaf (I really hope you understand which one I mean :D), hits the rest of the plant is a bit too obvious dithered (compared to the rest of the piece), you could have used the next darker leaf shade to make it less obvious. otherwise really outstanding work :)

Fool (Level 6 SWAT) @ 6/4/2007 03:01

Thank you all for crits and comments.=)

NuffinInMyMuffin, no worries, it has been taken care of - you've got my vote.=)

iSTVAN, I don't have my pref palette, so it is kind of jumping up and down every time.

Josiah, yeah, i see it - i'll fix it, thanks.=)

jal, i don't expect every piece i make will be liked - it would be at least very strange.=))
Anyway, design wise I made what i meant to.=) Thanks.

Zeid, i've got a couple of dozens of color variations of this, if you know what i'm trying to say.=)

d-p (Level 11 Psychopath) @ 6/4/2007 02:53

Great work. Really great work on the leafs.

Mykola (Level 3 Corporate Drone) @ 6/4/2007 02:39

(from now on that's gonna be my only comment regarding your work. . )

dich (Level 4 Murderer) @ 6/4/2007 02:00

So to speak - WOW! :)

Necky (Level 1 Rookie) @ 6/4/2007 01:52

Simple amazing dude!

You're attention to detail is breath taking :) And your designs are very creative.This is one of my favourites that you've produced so far :)

Opacus (Level 7 Ichikyu) @ 6/4/2007 01:34

kvetacek (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 6/4/2007 01:32

Wow. It's excellent.
