Since I used a lot of contrast in my last piece, I wanted to try something altogether different this time. I'm not sure how long it took me, but I think it was time well spent. Any feedback is welcome. Big thanks to everyone who helped me with this in the Pixelation thread. Progress animation.

awesome work, especialy on details!

DexRunner (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 3/27/2017 07:31

These remind me of the Hedorah from The Godzilla title of the same name. All I can hear when I see this is. "SAVE THE EARTH!".

Great Job!!!

MadMage (Level 5 Lieutenant) @ 3/18/2016 20:34

Just perfect! I loved the creepy feel to it. Maybe I'll dream of that?

Holy crap, this is incredible!

The water reflections blow my mind.

Revolver1 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 4/30/2012 22:58

The first thing I thought was 'this is not pixel art... is it!?' ... Absolutely amazing! :D Thanks for providing the progress animation for those of us curious about your process :)

Elementalism (Level 1 Rookie) @ 12/15/2011 10:34

I can't bring anything new to the table, but like everyone else I'm thoroughly impressed by the perfect Anti-Aliasing and just the amazing use of colour in this whole piece.

Cammymoop (Level 5 Mothman) @ 11/8/2011 20:54

I can't even begin to say how awesome this is o.o

imbrainy (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 4/15/2011 20:55

I had to actually check to see if this was only 16 colours... This is amazing! Never seen such good AA :D

SatTheArtist (Level 1 Rookie) @ 3/15/2011 01:39

That is just stunning...

PoisonousJoy (Level 4 Mercenary) @ 2/21/2011 12:01

Absolutely breathtaking.

Very atmospheric and such amazing AA.

Awesome. Just awesome.

bonehead11 (Level 2 Quiet One) @ 9/23/2010 03:58

Is this still considered pixel art ?

Opacus (Level 7 Ichikyu) @ 7/26/2010 03:10

I really, really love this. It's very inspiring. Your AA is impecable. It's so clean.

avo (Level 8 Cannibal) @ 7/21/2010 11:41

TheInquisitor (Level 4 Shichikyu) @ 5/31/2010 03:49

Pixel art that doesn't look like pixel art? That's some feat!

kokocipher (Level 1 Rookie) @ 4/9/2010 15:26

I can't believe that's actually pixel art, incredible

1ucas (Level 5 Soldier) @ 4/4/2010 08:01

Holy crap, this is awesome. And thanks for that wip!

Dino502Run (Level 6 Serial Killer) @ 1/10/2010 18:45

I love this! I have a friend who would like this a lot too.

Victor Rojo (Level 9 Bio Mutant) @ 10/12/2009 15:34

This is the reason why the pixel art has nothing to envy of any art 2d

RazzBerries (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 9/19/2009 19:23

whoa dude that is awesome. I love how eerie it looks ... nice job!

Scribblette (Level 1 Intern) @ 6/11/2009 19:31

I saw this months ago on Pixelation... it's fantastic. And your line art monsters are so creative. Would love to have your flair for bringing nightmares to life, let alone pixel @_@

DeathHawk55 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 6/6/2009 11:37

AWSOME!!!!

raeli (Level 1 Intern) @ 5/28/2009 19:04

wow...
this doesn't even look like pixel art!

incredible.

Karzahnii (Level 1 Rookie) @ 3/21/2009 15:23

Wow, I can't believe it's only 16 colours! Great work!

Stickman (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 2/5/2009 11:09

The monsters are really well rendered, as you got the overlapping of the hairy tentacles working nicely. You really get a feeling of scale and distance between the predator and the prey:)

Victor Rojo (Level 9 Bio Mutant) @ 11/30/2008 19:27

beautiful fog and perfect work... 6/5

Square King (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 11/1/2008 20:33

Wow. Beautiful. <3

Chace (Level 5 Captain) @ 11/1/2008 16:22

Awsum!
The water is so realistic, it just looks like I've paused a film or something.

jinz91 (Level 2 Dealer) @ 10/31/2008 15:08

Why do i keep thinking "Lovecraft" XD
Amazing job!

Pajama-Sam (Level 3 Enforcer) @ 10/30/2008 08:39

This Is Absoloutley AMAZING...

dragonzrule (Level 1 Rookie) @ 10/27/2008 13:39

It kidof reminds me of war of the worlds, except 10x more scary and amazing.

Raytheon (Level 5 Lieutenant) @ 9/26/2008 02:53

Breathtaking;

the bottom of the beast is simply amazing;

I wouldn't be surprised if this gained #1 top pixel art

brena (Level 1 Gangster) @ 9/22/2008 07:48

Oh god that is scary. I love it.

Jaeden (Level 4 Team Leader) @ 9/20/2008 18:33

wow.... this is so soft and beautiful.

Aceldama (Level 1 Gangster) @ 9/20/2008 16:46

I love the mist surrounding the figures. I also like these "wavy" creatures are like mirrors, showing the moon.

castiboy (Level 5 Assistant Manager) @ 9/20/2008 10:49

sweet detail, awesome idea composition colours etc etc, that is simply amazing. and you did manage to get a really smooth uncontrasted image. as fawful already said, it does look like some incredible water colours or a similar effect.

*worships*
even more i mean, and
*adds to favorites*

fawful (Level 6 Yonkyu) @ 9/19/2008 05:12

That is pretty ruddy epic.

It doesnt even look like pixel art unless you zoom in several times,it looks more like a water colour or something.

Is it suposed to be the roots of trees or something,because it certanly looks it.
