@Conzeit: Do you really think I made this by accident? ;D Yeah, I'm quite fond of McKenna, RAW or Bill Hicks

You should read Terrence Mckenna...understand the real symbology of what you did here...hahahah. Archetypes, they're bigger than me or you

Giant ruddy awesomeness,i love the concept of how it's supposed to be kinda like a mushroom cloud,but i love the epic style you have,it's FCKIN AWESOME!!

You have displayed Shamanic Technology at its finest. The Amanita Muscaria's never ending fascination intrigues me.
Dynoob (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/28/2008 9:42:30 AM
Wonderful work, I like mushrooms and cities.So you can imagine, that i really, really like this one ;)

eyeball (Level 1 Private) at 7/27/2008 7:36:19 AM
Congratulations on the 3rd place. I bet if you had time you would do better.
rajkosk8 (Level 4 Deputy) at 7/15/2008 5:59:24 AM
as usual very impressionstic and inspiring. thank u for being on this planet iLKke.:D
Watever
Yellow Snow (Level 1 Private) at 7/6/2008 8:40:40 PM
Good job, there should be shadows of the mushroom top on the stem and the whole thing on the ground?
natsukilove2 (Level 1 Rookie) at 7/6/2008 8:02:01 PM
Amazing color usage, concept, details and overall execution! Luv it! 
Zweckform (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 7/5/2008 10:25:50 AM
Great stuff here, 16 colours ? Wow. Ideas behind it A+ :-)
SNickau (Level 1 Depressed) at 7/5/2008 7:16:26 AM
This is wonderful, the mushroom cloud meaning is very inspired, it is also brought across quite clearly - I didn't feel an explanation was needed. The art is also astounding. Very nice.
Expand (Level 3 Stalker) at 7/4/2008 1:48:12 AM
It looks like a painting. Amazing. The thought behind the mushroom is extremely creative.
Fuzzyleaves (Level 5 Detective) at 7/3/2008 9:48:35 PM
Vote for #1, I voted because of the double meaning, very cool pixel.
MashPotato (Level 6 Made) at 7/3/2008 7:07:08 PM
I love that cityscape, and the giant mushroom seals the deal 
Stickman (Level 5 Detective) at 7/2/2008 2:32:44 AM
Appreciate the creativity in this one:) Nice to see you back in the comps
homosapien (Level 1 Rookie) at 7/1/2008 10:50:36 AM
Nearly perfect, hand pixelled picture of an Amanita Muscaria growing out of a city. iKke, I like you a lot.
Arachne (Level 4 Murderer) at 7/1/2008 9:11:19 AM
I think the hat of the mushroom would look rounder if you moved the darkest shadow in towards the center as much as the highlight is positioned away from the center, and then have the sky illuminate the part between that and the edge. Apart from that, I think the washed out palette really gives a sense of dimension to this, and I'm amazed at how well the crumpled buildings read despite being so small. Nicely done. 
zAk (Level 2 Quiet One) at 7/1/2008 8:06:54 AM
Awesome - i remember i once pshopped a photo of San Francisco together with a photo of an orange Jellyfish from an aquarium.
5/5 fav'd
Arfff (Level 3 Enforcer) at 7/1/2008 3:09:22 AM
I'm speechless! This is good taste plus excellent technique, times great concept...So when are we gonna get iLKke as a featured pixel artist with an interview 'n' all? :)
iLKke (Level 8 Cannibal) at 7/1/2008 2:53:32 AM
Thanks, ppl! *blush*I'll put up a WIP when I have time.
@Fool: I know ;) I thought the fact that amanita is a symbol of spiritual rebirth is a nice touch. It is also closely tied to New Year/Christmas, which is not only a symbol of renewal and rebirth, but is probably the only festivity still celebrated by all people on Earth.
@Mirage: That is flattering, but the truth is that I made almost the entire picture in one sitting, and there was no time for polish. Amanita should actually have an 'egg' that it grows from, I just went for the simple option. There are dozens of other things I would have tweaked as well. Meh. MAYBE after the challenge is over.
Fool (Level 6 SWAT) at 7/1/2008 1:38:56 AM
Nice=) Metaphor is even more interesting - if prepaired properly those are very strong hallucinogene.=)
Majoris (Level 1 Jukyu) at 6/30/2008 5:08:23 PM
Extremely awesome. I love the idea and the execution/style. This gets my vote.
Skurwy87 (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 6/30/2008 5:04:55 PM
*sigh* that's just. . . motherfucking awesome, man! tip-top! (at the first glance the lower part seems kind of neglected, though, but it matches the composition plane pretty well!). you're certainly one of the best pixel artists EVER! and believe me I've already seen many.
Josiah (Level 8 Marshal) at 6/30/2008 2:12:38 PM
Haha, you can see a nose on the mushroom! Great work, lovely atmosphere.
inkspot (Level 4 Button Man) at 6/30/2008 1:29:58 PM
iLKke did it again! I absolutely love it. Where do you get your ideas from?
Mirage (Level 3 Corporate Drone) at 6/30/2008 1:05:36 PM
Very nice! I don't think the sky looks 'Made' like, more 'iLKke' like ;)I think i would have made the bottom of the mushroom wider, because now it looks like a man-made structure itself, almost like a skyscraper. It looks like you know what you are doing, anyway, so you must have had reasons to do it like this.
Perfect pixel-technique everywhere and lovely colours, thumbs up!
Pixelarg (Level 5 Rokkyu) at 6/30/2008 10:54:43 AM
You should create a tutorial pixel art, do not you think? ^^
jamon (Level 8 Marshal) at 6/30/2008 10:05:47 AM
great work! i love the background - sky ... "made" like ;)@dogmeat you can learn something and from others :)
ui_ (Level 1 Rookie) at 6/30/2008 8:21:32 AM
this is a mafia!!..... you, jamon, pain and mirage have it all!..... jajajajajaja..... this is amazing man!.... the colors and the idea are the best!...
ptoing (Level 7 Underboss) at 6/30/2008 7:22:46 AM
Awesome, both technically as well as conceptually. Fellations!
DJD (Level 4 Button Man) at 6/30/2008 4:43:22 AM
that is such a cool idea and the execution is wonderful. There are times when pixelart fits beautifully alongside traditional art and I think this is one of those pieces. The bendy curvy bubblyness mixed with the colors gives me the same unique feeling that Van Gogh's unique skies would. Congrats on an awesome pixel!
phob (Level 3 Hatchikyu) at 6/30/2008 3:39:20 AM
great style ! i like this colour ! nuclear mushroom :)
FrostPumpkin (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 6/30/2008 2:58:42 AM
I love those clouds <3The idea of atomic mushroom really fit this piece as you said.
Peach (Level 5 Soldier) at 6/30/2008 2:57:41 AM
awsome palette and well combined. it seems a watercolor drawing :)
Irozumi Urado (Level 1 Depressed) at 6/30/2008 12:15:31 AM
Great! o_O The attack of the giant shrooms from outer space! I love it. the colors are wonderfull.

Sorry for sort of necroposting, but I just stumbled on this and had to say it absolutely took my breath away. I don't think I've ever been so moved by a piece of pixel art before. I'm not 100% sure why, but thanks regardless.
