Finally this thing is done! I started it sometime earlyish 2006 and then did not work on it for ages, then picked it up again in November 2007 and then again a long pause until a few days ago where I managed to finish it up to where it is now. Overall the hours spent should still be in double digits \o/ Might edit it a bit more, but I wanted to get it on here, it's basically done anyway. PS: Follow the yellow brick arrow.

That's lovely!

ptoing (Level 7 Cuttlefish) @ 11/10/2013 02:33

The one in the index. Load the image in a program which can manipulate the colour index easily. (aka not MSPaint for example)

SaintBonkers (Level 1 Rookie) @ 11/10/2013 02:21

What yellow brick arrow?

PanicBomber (Level 6 Manager) @ 3/15/2009 13:29

this is also a very nice piece of pixel, i like the happyness and chaos mixed :D

Tadashi Blossom (Level 1 Rookie) @ 3/4/2009 06:55

I LOVE how he's just so happily wreaking havoc. This is delightful, Ptoing.

Muckuruxx (Level 2 Tulip) @ 3/3/2009 20:15

Instant favorite!

Skurwy87 (Level 6 Made) @ 2/18/2009 06:45

Probably the most surprising piece I've ever seen! Love the use of the "negative space", too! ;)

Sander (Level 1 Rookie) @ 2/18/2009 04:03

Awesomeness!
One thing which slightly bothers me is that the left side looks somewhat flat compared to the rest.

Ar. (Level 3 Stalker) @ 2/17/2009 14:54

Mindblowing. One of "Must fav" works on PJ. :)

"Follow the yellow brick arrow."... Nothing be the same again...

BlackDragon (Level 11 Godfather) @ 2/16/2009 22:25

Stop being so awesome D:

Krysis (Level 6 Serial Killer) @ 2/16/2009 04:28

Beyond awesome. This is just legendary. faved!

Seeg (Level 1 Gangster) @ 2/15/2009 22:46

I looooove this.

Rooster (Level 5 Captain) @ 2/14/2009 14:40

technique is good. very good. but... it hasn't something.... i don't know, it is so "dry", have all what it should have, but i feel it is unfinished, little empty..... i don't know.... :/

ptoing (Level 7 Cuttlefish) @ 2/14/2009 10:01

Cheers, again. Ails, the mouth has AA, but could probably be a bit smoother. I will probably go over this at some point in the near future. Panda has good points as well.

7Soul (Level 6 Garbage) @ 2/14/2009 09:24

Awesome (liked the flying cars XD)
As a constructive comment, the only part that misses AA is the mouth, you should fix that ; )

Panda (Level 3 Stalker) @ 2/14/2009 09:05

Heh, finally you decided to finish it.
You know my crits on this (hand on the right looks a bit blurry, and you could put window silhouettes on the front row of buildings).
And now that I see it again, maybe you could fix the angle of the propeller on the airplane.
Other than that pretty nice. Looks awesome (same goes for the "negative space") :)

mogeeoh (Level 1 Rookie) @ 2/13/2009 17:25

This is truly fantastic, and yeah, it screams to be modelled in lowpoly!! Skyline is amazing, i love the sense of distance.

Oh and, unless I'm missing some earlier dialogue, i don't see what is wrong with using flood fill. To ignore the tools available to us would just be silly would it not? I suppose if this is frowned upon by some pixel-ers then fair-dos but i really don't understand the problem with using such things. just my two pence.

ptoing (Level 7 Cuttlefish) @ 2/13/2009 14:11

Most of the sky is actually pixel by pixel. I'm not even kidding ;)

Hapiel (Level 11 Bonsai) @ 2/13/2009 14:05

The background. Was it done by flood fill or pixel per pixel? ;)

cerealkiller54 (Level 6 Made) @ 2/13/2009 08:45

When I first saw the preview I was like, "Hey that's a cool robot with a cool color scheme"
and so I clicked on it and I was like
"HOLY CRAP IT'S AN AWESOME ROBOT WITH A COOL COLOR SCHEME"

Great job on this

ptoing (Level 7 Cuttlefish) @ 2/13/2009 05:23

Thanks for all the replies :) Actually it's Yos bird, not Yus in this case.

Mirre (Level 9 Whale Shark) @ 2/13/2009 02:38

Man, you know how awesome I think this is! :D It's epic, that's what it is! Love the little details, like the different types of small cars being scattered all over the place, the plane (so cute and detailed!) and all the other... stuff. Billy! <3

Pocket Clouds (Level 1 Gangster) @ 2/13/2009 00:47

...don't understand that is a preview icons without preview text...

Pocket Clouds (Level 1 Gangster) @ 2/13/2009 00:44

Spectacular masterpiece! Beautiful texture bump effect!

skamocore (Level 11 Dolphin) @ 2/13/2009 00:20

This is the Yus bird's ultimate form :O

surt (Level 11 Godfather) @ 2/12/2009 23:09

Where is this Yus? I see no Yus! You Lie!

ui_ (Level 4 Deputy) @ 2/12/2009 22:10

delicious pixel :D thx mister ptoing

big brother (Level 11 Admiral) @ 2/12/2009 20:57

Always good to see a piece in which the Yus bird lurks...
