iLKke (Level 9 Nidan) @ 12/24/2007 09:32

It's so cool! I like the animation

surt (Level 11 Godfather) @ 12/23/2007 13:54

NotSure, gif is the only animated format that PJ supports so not giving marks on the basis of using that format seems patently silly.

tomic (Level 11 Admiral) @ 12/23/2007 11:32

great great great. beatiful details.. the first pixelart piece i've seen in which you can actually read from someones lips.. amazing

and i'm totally diggin pixel's second screen appearance (still my favourite dog here at pixeljoint =)

NotSure (Level 1 Rookie) @ 12/21/2007 14:35

This is excellent work. The Santa is especially well animated. I would have given you full marks if it had not been a gif.

I hope you know how animgif compresses animations. Such a large piece that has movement in (or close to) the bottom right loses a lot of the compression. If you chose a format that had delta compression instead, then it should have resulted in a smaller animation file.

mk ex (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 12/21/2007 12:52

wow cool .

Doomcreator0 (Level 5 Assistant Manager) @ 12/21/2007 12:46

Yeah. The clock apparently looks like it's 3:00.

Faktablad (Level 6 SWAT) @ 12/20/2007 19:52

This just improved my mood so much, you don't even know.

Fel (Level 4 Ensign) @ 12/20/2007 15:09

Wow, excellent work.

Doomcreator0 (Level 5 Assistant Manager) @ 12/20/2007 14:22

Hey! I saw this on Army of Trolls. Nice.

OMG i've just seen this on AOT, it's so frikkin' good- everything's animated, and how! :D
OMG#2, a new game in 4 days??! i SO much hope it will be pen-pen olympics :)

also, Santa seems to me as if he's saying 'ho ho ho' :)

an absolute instant-favorite :)

Larwick (Level 8 Tengu) @ 12/20/2007 04:15

Ah, fair enough. I was gunna mention how much animated detail there is on there, must've been really crazy to piece together. Great work nevertheless.

imera (Level 1 Private) @ 12/19/2007 04:47

How cute santa :D And I love the animation where the small people jups and turns around. Great work

Ricki (Level 1 Seaman) @ 12/18/2007 03:43

Yeah, man. That's cool. Each version of santa is cool, 'cause people love him. This picture is so nice maked by more nice style, yet. I like the whole image and haven't any comments for any parts..Very good work. ;)

wtenshi (Level 1 Intern) @ 12/18/2007 03:33

Awn, this is so absolutely cute

Quar (Level 4 Murderer) @ 12/18/2007 02:54

Words will never, for all of infinity, describe how impressed I am at this.

madPXL (Level 3 Hatchikyu) @ 12/18/2007 01:54

simply love your works ;)
just a thing, maybe the clock could be set at midnight no?

dumbo (Level 4 Mercenary) @ 12/17/2007 17:17

wonderful work indeed...

Gunstar_Red (Level 1 Rookie) @ 12/17/2007 17:01

he's blowing you all a kiss

Doomcreator0 (Level 5 Assistant Manager) @ 12/17/2007 16:58

Great piece truly.

What's he saying?

Doesn't look like "Merry Christmas"

greenraven (Level 2 Hired Gun) @ 12/17/2007 16:27

The preview doesn't do this piece justice. This is simply amazing.

Gunstar_Red (Level 1 Rookie) @ 12/17/2007 16:18

cheers guys, to be honest with this amount of animation on an animated gif was really doing my head in as I did it all seperately and then tried to peice together the anims with new stuff and bits I'd already done, meaning things like santas coat got missed.

BlackDragon (Level 11 Godfather) @ 12/17/2007 15:31

Pretty sure he's saying "Ho, ho, ho"

Very awesome paice exept for what everybody pointed out.

CircleOfTheDarkOnes (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 12/17/2007 15:15

Very well done.
It just so happened that when I clicked the preview, the nutcracker started playing on TV, so it looked like the elves were dancing to it.

Larwick (Level 8 Tengu) @ 12/17/2007 15:09

Ownage dude.
The fact the bottom of santas coat doesn't move with him looks a bit odd methinks.

Stickman (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 12/17/2007 15:08

Ha ha!! Very sweet indeed! :)

navaz (Level 3 Hatchet Man) @ 12/17/2007 15:00

Cute..

surt (Level 11 Godfather) @ 12/17/2007 14:59

That makes me wonder. No black cat?

MashPotato (Level 7 Underboss) @ 12/17/2007 14:56

Adorable in so many ways... especially love the little dog and penguin

surt (Level 11 Godfather) @ 12/17/2007 14:55

Very pretty as ever.

The hem of santa's dress doesn't deform which makes the dress stretch as he leans back.
The glow on the floor and the glow on the edges of the fireplace seem disjointed.
The red of santa's hat has a grey outline, though the red of his dress doesn't. Adding it to the dress may help separate it from the similarly coloured carpet.

Is santa blowing kisses or panting?

Skull (Level 11 CEO) @ 12/17/2007 14:34

How wonderful. :p
Love the colours, very festive.
