Only thing we have to fear to fear is the fear itself.
[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]

Reality is a cospiracy created by the illusion of senses.
[Roger Penrose]

Fear distorces things perceived.
Fear cannot be represented but through its effect.
That's what I mean by fear; not a nice piece technically, but I love the optical illusion I made.

Enjoy.

Now with animation and impossible triangle!

!WARNING!
Do not stare at it too long, your eyes won't be thankful.

Your choice. I think you can freely believe this is an edited version of that, I guess you have every point you can find;
for the anti aliasing, I feel your words as a compliment ^^ (by the way, I am hurt a bit by your lack of trust in my pixel skills)
Just think there were 20 pixels: I just shifted the R,G and B values by 25 every 2 pixels, that's it.
Antialiase color surface is so easy, try that sometimes!

oh come on! the black and white stuff is NPA, you cant possibly AA that well and the green stuff is just an edited version of this. I think you're lieing...

I think that I'd be honored, the new era is coming xD
We are the dark side of the pixel, right?

Yeah I liked more too when was simpler but that was really too simple to be accepted, like your "Imagine the Scene - ONE".
I tried to enrich following the theme but now looks like dadaism, wich is really bad.

@Gil: the idea of art varies a lot from person to person. For example someone thinks that this is art.
Even Duchamp is considered an artist.

Heh, piling optical illusions will never be art. You misinterpret the power of simplicity and there's no decent composition. This will not invoke emotions on the viewer (maybe nausea).

I'm afraid the message did not come across.

Also, this has almost no pixel art techniques in it. Wrong site perhaps to post this...

I am saying I never seen that optical illusion before.
I have seen many optical illusions in my life, i cannot deny that, but they were almost all circles moving.
This is what I had seen before. Yours is new to me. I played out with contrast illusions and that is the result, unfortunately already existing. I underline the fact that was not my reference...
I am sorry you think I am a fake or something.
I am planning to improve this piece, the community illuminated me.

Exactly, everyone is assuming that I used that as a reference while that's not true.
He could ask in a polite way if I used that, instead of asking me if I was japanese.
I would have said: "no, I didn't use that as reference, and I didn't bothered myself searching for something like that on google."
But your convincion is so rooted that now i cannot do anything, believe what you want.
Hope you have at least googled for Hertzsprung and Russell, maybe you may understand even if that's not the same.

Oh well I suppose this kind of art is not the one I have to show here.
How have I to say I never copied nor used that as reference?
I really hate when people begin to feel superior and assume such things.

user
Garrett (Level 2 Quiet One) @ 8/24/2008 11:38
Why do you assume that is NPA?
It's just antialiased!

user
Vertigo-Zero (Level 9 Necrophiliac) @ 8/24/2008 11:16
Why did you add the NPA black and white border afterwards? its not allowed

user
Garrett (Level 2 Quiet One) @ 8/24/2008 11:09
Never heard of him, sorry.
Anyway I never claimed that as exclusively mine, ever heard about Hertzsprung and Russell?

"I love the optical illusion I made."

Is your name Akiyoshi Kitaoka?

Really weird looking now that it's animated :D Weird in a positive way.
