Eyo, folks! So. . . there you have my first (and as far the last as well) attempt at evoking the C64 magic, Hi-RES mode (2 colours per an 8*8 square, y'know) -- the one released at Riverwash `07 (put into an Oldschool GFX compo, together with other Amiga and PC pieces). Finished #2 (out of 5 places), lost to Slayer's "Stars Die". No hard feelings! Love it or hate it! Thank you, Ptoing, for your GREAT assistance!

wow, that looks cool! thanks for utilizing the piece and sorry i wasnt around to reply. well, as im watching the demo now, it seems the samurai withstood the conversion better than industrial dawn. big up and keep creative ideas flowing!

I'll quote myself: "Yes, I was quite inspired by some of Lackey's works as well as Helm's and Ptoing's."

The Temple piece was probably my main inspiration, though.

Great piece with great depth! I didn't notice that he was sitting on a horse at first and I like the patterns on the temple

MichaS (Level 1 Depressed) @ 8/27/2007 03:30

Vital, ja nie wiem gdzie tacy się chowią. Widocznie go zamknęli gdzieś w piwnicy z kompem i edytorem palet do C64:P Chłopie, nie odrzucaj takich kupmli, bo dużo takich nie mamy :D Naprawdę szacunek...

Vital (Level 5 Sniper) @ 8/27/2007 03:23

Gdzie ta cholera sie uchowala?;D Nie znam Cie,nie jestes juz moim kumplem ;D Swetne

Skurwy87 (Level 6 Made) @ 8/27/2007 02:53

Hehe, THANKS! Believe me, I didn't expected such a WARM welcome! In fact I was sick of that picture in the end and it was Ptoing who helped me a lot to make it fresh again. The right-side piece meant to be something of a junky temple against a background of a mountain valley. I put a lot of small details on it, you can interpret it on your own (there's even a crossing with a stop sign and Anubis' head, I heard, hehe). Yes, I was quite inspired by some of Lackey's works as well as Helm's and Ptoing's.

Reo (Level 11 Sphinx) @ 8/27/2007 02:41

Knew it was yours quite awesome!

MichaS (Level 1 Depressed) @ 8/27/2007 02:00

Jesteś świrem. Praca jest poprostu przegenialna. Zawsze kochałem taki styl...

Ireland (Level 1 Depressed) @ 8/27/2007 01:52

yup very nice indeed, one of my favourite c64 pieces.

Opacus (Level 7 Ichikyu) @ 8/27/2007 00:33

Awesome, awesome awsomness this is.

iLKke (Level 9 Nidan) @ 8/26/2007 20:06

Fuckshitcock! The preview got me fooled. I suspected Ptoing!
This one is going straight to the top of the week's crop, I have a hunch.
Very fresh!

Josiah (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 8/26/2007 18:47

This is excellent!

inkspot (Level 4 Button Man) @ 8/26/2007 17:38

This is amazing

At first I thought it was helm with his abstract style, but it was not, and its simply amazing!

pmprog (Level 4 Murderer) @ 8/26/2007 17:33

Cool. Reminds me very much of this piece

soda (Level 10 President) @ 8/26/2007 17:29

Great colors, they worked well.

cure (Level 11 Pixellite) @ 8/26/2007 17:23

It's Frootlooptopia, silly. Badass image, great work with the restrictions.

Carnivac (Level 8 Behemoth) @ 8/26/2007 16:48

I really like the left hand side of the image, but I can't actually make out what the mass of colors is on the right.

Skurwy87 (Level 6 Made) @ 8/26/2007 16:37

Hehe, thank you, έλληνασ, thanks everyone! I love you guys! :*

Hairyu (Level 3 Hatchikyu) @ 8/26/2007 16:29

Fucking gold, and I don't even like C64!

Helm (Level 5 Detective) @ 8/26/2007 16:21

Probably my favourite Hi-Res piece.

vellan (Level 1 Rookie) @ 8/26/2007 16:10

exceptional.

not much else to say.

HMC (Level 7 General Manager) @ 8/26/2007 15:57

That is fucking hardcore. 7'd and fav'd.

Skull (Level 11 CEO) @ 8/26/2007 15:39
