1st place at Riverwash 2007 (Oldskool graphics competition).
It's a pixelled version of my true-color illustration.
32 colors, pro-motion, all pixels - as always - robotized by me.

And now - well, as always - I'm waiting for screaming "it's not a true pixel art! Kill him!"

not really my kind of piece with the idea and linework, but that's a matter of taste. in terms of technique you did an awesome job, 7/7!

That's amazing man. I almost doubt it's 32 colors at first but the way you shaded it and blended in the colors are just amazing.

You exploited those poor pixels!  How do you sleep at night???

This is probably a sore point with the Slayer situation, but I agree completely, Gil.

ONLY 32 COLORS?! ZOMG!

The palette is not optimal and your AA is dreadful. Instead of embracing the medium, you try to exploit it. Yes, this is pixel art, it's just very sloppy third-grade pixel art.

I like the image, it's a pretty picture. Next time put some technique into it too.

That's obviously not pixel art.

Just like all your other works.

Amazing work at 32 colors, cool technique and nice background work.

El concepto es muy novedoso y si le agregamos el magnifico arte realizado, tenemos una verdadera obra maestra.

Skurwy87: "why do you always pixelate stuff on that true-colour ground? I ain't saying it's kinda wrong, but-- why not trying something all new?"

"Stars Die" is a FIRST picture here, that is based on true-color illustration, so I really don't understand  your question.

More often the true-color version was based on the pixelled one (like "Sorry I'm The Be(a)st" for example).

morfius "Can you post a wip?"

Yes, I'm planning to show the stages of making my graphics with some descriptions (mamy people asked about it), but I want to preapre something like tutorial - so it needs some  time to finish

well, what can I say? congrats! -- you know what I think about it.

and hey, the one thing that still keeps me wondering. . . like, y'know, why do you always pixelate stuff on that true-colour ground? I ain't saying it's kinda wrong, but-- why not trying something all new?

If it will make you happy "it's not a true pixel art! Kill him!" Beside that, I like the color palette and that mosaic style.

This is another great piece with excellent colours choices.

Can you post a wip?

Veeerrrry nice! The only thing I find a little strange is that on the right face, the chin seems cut off.

The colours are really well selected and I like the background

   I'm not digging the stylized eyes. I would have opted for a more realistic look for the eyes(at least push em' back a bit. They kind of have this Picasso thing going on...though that may have been intentional.) Everything else, however, is great as usual. I've always liked your robotic type structured designs...
