ALL TREMBLE BEFORE MAGENTLEMAN! For the weekly, of course. Tried to make some sense of the darned challenge colors. Ideally should have a bit more black space around it (especially at the top), but the size is fixed :( made with grafx2

Just makes me smile wondering what he sounds like?!

Mathias (Level 5 Rokkyu) @ 8/24/2010 21:22

No, I mean it, DO IT AGAIN!

Full marks. Insane. Do it again.

Hey, just wanted to say thanks for the comment, and that I read your interview. It was great! You're an amazing pixel artist and I envy your ability to use such small palettes and yet have such smooth images. I love what you did with the palette in this one especially.

Hotness, you deserve the ribbon.

MashPotato (Level 7 Underboss) @ 2/22/2009 08:19

Fuzzyleaves (Level 5 Detective) @ 2/17/2009 12:58

Another master piece!

Skurwy87 (Level 6 Made) @ 2/17/2009 11:30

Again, you're a master of characterization! You just can't dislike this little guy up there. Props!

TheInquisitor (Level 4 Shichikyu) @ 2/17/2009 06:42

"Ma Gentle Man"
Even the pun is brilliant. Got my vote. :)

jamon (Level 10 Operative) @ 2/17/2009 02:25

Loaf2000 (Level 4 Deputy) @ 2/16/2009 20:49

This is a great piece. he sorta looks like he's in panic.

Fool (Level 6 SWAT) @ 2/16/2009 17:54

Got my vote, dude=)

Ghostclown (Level 2 Quiet One) @ 2/16/2009 17:06

This is awesome. Can't decide on my favorite part, everything's so wonderful.

Stickman (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 2/16/2009 12:52

But what are his powers? I want to know this before I start trembling!!!!

Kaiseto (Level 6 Made) @ 2/16/2009 12:01

Shouldn't his mouth be packed full of cigarettes? ... The internet has ruined me.

I voted for this, by the way. Awesome use of that horrible palette.

Hapiel (Level 11 Admiral) @ 2/16/2009 07:13

Beautiful stuff, as usually :).

adriprints (Level 3 Private Eye) @ 2/16/2009 05:46

I thought this piece was quite beautiful. I enjoyed the gradations along the front surface of the creature, and the sort of abstract expressionist / peacock feather blops in the background.

Panda (Level 3 Stalker) @ 2/16/2009 03:17

This one is looking pretty awesome.
Looks as if someone ate loads of rainbows, puked them (in a good way!) and he came out of that.

As for crits, maybe you could make the bottom of the top hat flatter, and smoother around the curved edges.
Other than that, pretty nice.
I really like how you blend blues and oranges (That blue you picked looks awesome, by the way).

iLKke (Level 9 Nidan) @ 2/16/2009 02:41

Thanks, all.
I decided to add some space at the top later, when the weekly is over.

raynoa (Level 5 Soldier) @ 2/16/2009 01:01

Very nice creature!=)

Reo (Level 11 Sensei) @ 2/16/2009 00:15

Lovve this style of yours, awsomeness!

ui_ (Level 4 Deputy) @ 2/15/2009 23:52

delicious! :D, and yeah it looks like its cut at top :(... (like the preview show us), i like that gentle monster! :D.... it looks like he is funny. Thx for you art :D....

jeremy (Level 11 Special Agent) @ 2/15/2009 21:13

That hat is ownage

Awesome sense of depth too.

hotnikkelz (Level 1 Rookie) @ 2/15/2009 20:57

WTF illke edit...hey i jsut realized this looks like the same palette with the Natalie's drawing challenge

Dex (Level 11 CEO) @ 2/15/2009 20:24

Hehe, good work man. Very stylistic, very recognizable as yours!

Mirre (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 2/15/2009 20:23

Whoaaa~ Cool stuff! I like how it looks like stained glass, a nice effect!

Badassbill (Level 11 Psychopath) @ 2/15/2009 20:04

I can hear the echoing cries of everyone else who entered this challenge. "AW FUCK."

skamocore (Level 11 CEO) @ 2/15/2009 19:57

Wait, this used a restricted palette!? :P

I agree with your comment about the black space at the top. Maybe you could try moving the top part down a cople of pixels. I think it could really improve the composition.

ptoing (Level 7 Underboss) @ 2/15/2009 19:43

Very nice, I like how you make a continuous spread integrating the magentas :)
