Here's a recent pixel I made, it was basically a remake of my old pixel-art "The Man in the Tree." I found that one lacking in color or style, so I remade it like this, and added some flavor. Anyways, I didn't get a WIP animation together, but here's the original pieces I started out with. I was actually remaking trees for SQUIRE, but I might even remake em' again. http://i341.photobucket.com/albums/o363/SpriterDex/wipstuff.png I'll take critique and suggestions, but I'm done with this and want to work on other things now. Later~

*sigh* I just wanted you to cite your reference, thats all. not take it down. In fact, its a great piece of pixel art. What you described certainly is referencing. I think you are confusing referencing with copying.

AdamF (Level 11 CEO) @ 11/17/2008 10:56

Ugh, removing it. No need for this drama and shiz. Sure, a reference is a reference, but I don't see any need for accusation here. :/

I did have the window of pixelation open with his topic, yes, but I didn't "zoom in" or "trace" or "copy." I guess you could call that referencing, maybe even inspiration referencing. I dunno. But yeah, don't lose respect for me just because of this. :o

Indigo (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 11/16/2008 22:43

I didn't suggest it was a rip nor edit - just an obvious reference to the original artist which was not cited. It is common courtesy to cite your references. I may be speaking from a pixelation moderator standpoint, but whatever. I just dont like lying.

I am with Jalonso on this one. I see similarities but no direct edits or anything.

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) @ 11/16/2008 22:17

I don't see the offense to tell the truth. Its not an edit or a rip. Is there anything really wrong with references anyhow? I don't get it, certainly no way near for Dex to lose respect over it.
I can't find any pixels that are exactly in the same place after loading them in PS :/

Indigo (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 11/16/2008 20:11

When presented with something as obvious as this, you should admit and correct your mistakes without hesitation.

there is no doubt this was referenced from Vierbit's piece. But really, that is not a problem with me so long as you cite your reference and makes sure he is fine with it. Its not like you traced it or copied his pixels.

[edited to remove offensiveness]

AdamF (Level 11 CEO) @ 11/16/2008 20:00

I didn't actually use his piece as a reference when making it, but yeah, I was floored by it when I saw it and it basically inspired me. I'll remove it if it's too close, but yeah, it wasn't a reference. :/

Indigo (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 11/16/2008 17:01

You should really cite your references and give Vierbit credit. This is pretty much a copy of this: http://pixeljoint.com/pixelart/37245.htm

Very nice Dex. It looks somewhat abstract, or a mix between the deku tree and wispy. I'd try and put more texture into everything next time (the bush looks like it could do with a few marks here and there).

AdamF (Level 11 CEO) @ 9/2/2008 20:15

Uh, I guess that was a compliment.

@Ray, thanks.

Larwick (Level 8 Tengu) @ 9/2/2008 12:15

THE DEKU TREE. We meet again at last.

Raytheon (Level 5 Lieutenant) @ 9/2/2008 00:45

Hehe, i love his expression. Good job Dex

AdamF (Level 11 CEO) @ 8/31/2008 16:00

Thanks Jal <:

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) @ 8/30/2008 14:04

You are getting better all the time. I expect more improvement with every piece from you now.

AdamF (Level 11 CEO) @ 8/30/2008 12:56

Oh, thanks Shanks.

AdamF (Level 11 CEO) @ 8/29/2008 22:44

Thanks go out to everyone who's commented.

Shanks (Level 1 Gangster) @ 8/29/2008 22:44

Hey guys, meet my friend, Dex the spriting beast.

Everything is really good, except for the plain cream colored background. If you replaced that with something, anything would probably work fine, I think this would be perfect :]

Also, might I add that this particular tree has very large nostrils.

MarthisMarth (Level 1 Intern) @ 8/28/2008 18:47

Easily one of your best pixels, if not your best pixel. I love the colors.

AdamF (Level 11 CEO) @ 8/28/2008 15:58

Thanks you guys! Glad you like it.

And yes, I should have AAed the white. I might here sooner or later. Laziness >:

Guss (Level 1 Private) @ 8/28/2008 09:12

I like it, I fav it. seriously great work.

Rooster (Level 5 Captain) @ 8/28/2008 02:17

I think, that shmupstick have right. However pixel is really good ;)

shmupstick (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 8/28/2008 00:38

Great.
The only letdown is the white background. Could have used some AA from the leaves there.

evincarofautumn (Level 4 Deputy) @ 8/27/2008 21:03

Nice. Looks rather like a platformer mock-up. (I can just imagine walking on the tree's nose!)

KGladiator (Level 1 Private) @ 8/27/2008 14:59

Whoa... and I thought the original was your best! Nice work! I still think you should've shaded the eyes a little bit.

AdamF (Level 11 CEO) @ 8/27/2008 14:37

Hey thanks, that means a lot!

Chaos Design (Level 3 Stalker) @ 8/27/2008 05:18

Looks really good work.

pil (Level 1 Rookie) @ 8/26/2008 23:06

he's got a cool hairy nose

Badassbill (Level 11 Big Foot) @ 8/26/2008 22:17

A LOT better than your other stuff.
