I created this over the night. Its my favourite piece Ive created in a long time. There are plenty of lead up sketches and colour and shading variations. If anyone is interested in seeing them, just ask!

Just checked the update and you said you couldn't stand the original, so I had to check it out. I think its rather nice with the rawness and the cell shaded look.

Lol, just came across this in the gallery, very interesting.There probably could be a few touchups with AA. It's a very entertaining piece as it is. Palette is nice too.

I dont mean to sound bitchy, but when or if you ACTUALLY create some pixel art, Gamma, I will take your critism seriously.

*Head pops off*
That is just WRONG.

1. The couple pictured are of the MALE and FEMALE variety. Granted, there is also a monkey. However, calling them 'gaay' is unjustified.

2. My sexuallity will not be discussed here.

3. Homophobic behavior WILL NOT be tolerated.

I can be a ass if you want me to. You have been warned.

Thanks everyone, bit of a delay in replying to this for some reason!

Yeah, the idea was really fun to work with - if a bit crazy.

I agree with Blick, there is certainly some room for improvement in the shading. I think due to how quickly I produced this I never really gave myself any time to step back and look at what I was doing. Cheers!

This might not be the last you see of this odd threesome.

Well, didn't see that coming =P
nicely done, though the ripples are lacking. And please post the sketches somewhere on the forums; I love abstract art, and I'd like to see how you attack it.

It is quite an interesting piece alright. What the hell is going on in your brain. evil

Blick (Level 7 Captain) @ 4/17/2005 12:28

I think there's room for improvement in the shading, but the idea is so well executed and interesting that not many will really notice little fixes that could be made.

I really like that you made it really look like a lot of weight was on the man. With his toes spread like he's flexing every muscle and how his skin is bunched together where the woman's breast pushes it. I don't really see that sort of detail in pixel art often.

Nice as always ;), how do you get motivated to pixel so much? :D
