Emerging from the Cocoon :: Pixel Art Detail

Beautiful...Slightly creepy, but beautiful nonetheless!

I love this, it's really beautiful. And to me, the dither in the back gives a feeling of a mystical air, as if something special is happening, and by the looks of it, that seems to be the case ;)

Thanks for the nice comments everyone

iSTVAN: the dithering on the face has been brought up before (although not in the comments here), and I agree that it makes a coarser texture than I would have liked.  The problem was... I didn't know how to do it otherwise   I did make some adjustments to minimize the amount of dithering and make it smoother, but I've still got a lot to learn...

Metaru: aw shucks

I do love you, Miss Potato.

Your best work yet, Great Job!

Yea, reminds me of BLAME! as well, great manga IMO.

I just simply love this- you won't be interested in some comission work for a certain Shoot em up, at some point, would you? ;) fav

I don't know if it's already been said, but I think everything is lovely except the dithering on the face. I think it ruins the smooth faced feel. I try to only use dithering on coarse textures.

excellent n scary, reminds me in those cyber-goth comics... forgot the name sry maybe blame?!

Too holiday drunk to write anything constructive, so you will just get a "Wicked cool!"

All nicely executed. Only thing that disturbes me a bit is tube, that leads to the head. It looks a bit strange, yet i simply do not know if it should be a tube at all.
Still a great picture.

nice picture man good work

Hehe, Secret Santa's comin' to town. =) Lovely work, there, i've said it. Very elegant, as all your characters.

This was one of my favorites! The colors and subject (especially the style) really gives off a rusty steampunk feeling.

Really nice work as usual Mash. I almost missed the butterfly as I was so focused on the characters face. Just putting in my two cents here - but I'm wondering if the butterfly could of worked being a totally different colour like a bright yellow or blue as I think that would work very well with the contrasts of browns that you have implemented.

I do wish that this was a gift for me! Metaru!!!! You lucky, lucky man!!

This is sooo amazing. Love all the details. Especially in the hands, they look so graceful. And that butterfly is just too cute!

Metaru is a lucky man to receive such a nice gift!
 What a beautiful piece!
6 out of 6 and favorite!

First off I just wanna say... great pixel-art! but the preview pic i liked better than your big piece. mayb because of the eyes... *gets shot by jal*  but thats your style so i shouldnt complain... oh merry christmas :D

Thanks everyone

ikke: I agree about the dither... it was my first time trying to do it over large areas, so it's something I need to practice.  Hopefully I will improve in the future!

As far as girls with no flesh go, this one's fantastic!
Only crit is a bit dull dither in the bg.

I knew it was you... i luv all ur pieces.

That's so great. Great job.

Never a dull moment with you Mash. Your stuff is always so wretchedly, hideously beautiful.

Finally you posted this here. I've been wanting to fav' it. Now I can...so fav'd, beetch!!

Aargh, in my rush to submit this so I would never have to look at it again, I forgot to say thank-you!   *updates description*

The glassy look of the eyes is so fantastic. They almost have an empty look, wow.
