Most time I've ever spent on a piece, I think. I mean, I didn't actually keep track, but I started it earlier last month. Also, first time I've ever saved a WIP animation.

I started it with the goal of getting a #1 monthly spot on PJ, but then people started submitting all this awesome stuff within the last few days/weeks. Still, I'm pretty happy with the final result.

Inspired by the song of the same name, by the band of the same name. That, and there's some Dark Tower in there too. Probably a lot of Dark Tower.

Angeli (Level 1 Private) at 7/6/2009 9:17:39 PM

Great work!! nice colors


Kaiseto (Level 6 Made) at 7/6/2009 8:49:17 PM

I mostly asked because I'm no expert on composition at all. I tried to use imaginary lines to draw focus from the gunslinger to the robe-wearing skull thing, and frame the tower in the distance. I think the big problem is that the gunslinger character just isn't dynamic. If I were to do it again I'd entirely redraw the character, probable a bit closer and standing at more of an angle. Unfortunately, by the time I thought to do so, I was pretty much done. It was just do drastic a change for me to attempt.


Hatch (Level 3 Hatchikyu) at 7/6/2009 8:26:05 PM

I dunno exactly. It just has a colorforms feel to it; like the various elements were pasted onto a preexisting background, you know? They just kind of feel strewn about. To me. Don't mean to sound snotty or anything, I really do like the piece. It's just something that struck me. And sorry for the useless critique. I know it's not helpful when someone says "yeah, I don't like this or that, but I have no clue how you'd go about fixing it. good luck!" :/

EDIT: Just noticed a couple of frames in the WIP anim where the right side of the sky is done and the left side of the sky is more or less blank. I think that actually looked a lot better; it sort of pulled the eye towards the character.


Kaiseto (Level 6 Made) at 7/6/2009 7:56:08 PM

What would you have changed?


Hatch (Level 3 Hatchikyu) at 7/6/2009 6:25:28 PM

 Very well pixelled, nice dithering, smooth and all. The composition really disappoints, though.


Errorz (Level 1 Rookie) at 7/6/2009 12:45:38 PM

Very nice


omegacapeman (Level 1 Rookie) at 7/6/2009 4:07:30 AM

Fenne (Level 3 Hatchikyu) at 7/6/2009 2:13:52 AM

This'll get a place in my favorites. I love the stye and smoothness of this piece!


tripnfelt (Level 4 Shichikyu) at 7/4/2009 7:45:56 PM

It's my #1 for this month ^__^


Kaiseto (Level 6 Made) at 7/3/2009 7:19:00 PM

Haven't heard any Free, though I should probably check it out. Paul Rodgers is a great singer.


big brother (Level 9 Rear Admiral) at 7/3/2009 4:29:31 PM

It's an awesome band, to be fair. Have you heard any "Free?"

For an extra reference, you could have made his gun a "smoking 45!"


[Ryan_6666] (Level 3 Stalker) at 7/3/2009 8:57:24 AM

 

amazing work, love the mood and the smoothness of it all

 

Rock3go (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 7/3/2009 5:47:51 AM

excellent work


sharprm (Level 4 Deputy) at 7/3/2009 1:24:16 AM

My hands don't reach don't to my knees so yeah, maybe the arm is too long. Otherwise great piece!


Death-Auron (Level 1 Rookie) at 7/2/2009 4:16:46 PM

this'll soon get into the weekly showcase :P. I think that either his arms are kinda long or his legs are short, but something concerning anatomy bugs me. Nice character desgin though, and great atmosphere you created


RPG_Boy (Level 4 Lieutenant) at 7/2/2009 3:28:04 PM

youll def get some kinda trophy, hope its #1

awesome job


Tpoe (Level 2 Peon) at 7/2/2009 3:02:25 PM

Wow, this is really amazing, the cowboy guy reminds me of your 'Fighting Angels' mock up.


hsn2555 (Level 1 Rookie) at 7/2/2009 2:52:58 PM

nice use of dither :D


Dai (Level 2 Kukyu) at 7/2/2009 2:50:18 PM

This is gorgeous, I really love the details in the background.


Dex (Level 11 Psychopath) at 7/2/2009 2:23:20 PM

 don't really like the super dither of the background, palettes alright, pretty cool overall 


Froggy_00 (Level 1 Rookie) at 7/2/2009 2:17:20 PM

O_o

Wow...just wow.


Dr D (Level 2 Kukyu) at 7/2/2009 2:02:38 PM

Whoa, by far your greatest piece yet. Amazing work. Love how the rose slightly breaks up themonochromaticity.


Celri (Level 4 Ensign) at 7/2/2009 2:00:57 PM

Well it was time well spent!  Beauiful!
