Top Pixel Art - July 2009 (#1)
This is a fantastic piece. I especially like the hazy city in the background and the detail in the foreground architecture. The robots are cute.
I cant get over the diamond cut on the stairs to the right of the image. What attention to detail!
I wouldn't steal your talent. It doesn't belong in the hands of someone like me!
I would duplicate it if I could without years of practice, though. :) You're awesome.
On the subject of tutorials, perhaps you could comment to yourself out loud while pixelling. I bet a transcript of your thought processes would provide just as much, if not more, insight than a careful, organized tutorial.
Prelestno!
Raduyut personaji, raduet mir (gde-to ryadom "ptica-govorun")
Edinstvennoe chto smushaet eto legkiy peregruz vnizu, etu bratvu tak i hochetsa postavit na chto-to, glaz trebuet prodolzheniya banketa )
A vobshe eto prelestno! )
I saw the preview and immediately knew whose this was. What can I say, is it even possible for you to produce a mediocre pixel?
I agree, though, the streets do look a little too clean.
Yep, another masterpiece from maestro! I think even artists from Pixar can't make so charismatic characters=)
I only wish if there will be some puddles of oil and gas, streets seems too clear for that district)
Wow the lighting and atmosphere in this blows my mind
I'm not really sure what I could SAY about it.=)
To my understanding tutorials are possible when one's could organized things that going through his mind into some sort of system someone else could follow. Sometimes I'm not thinking at all, basically not mentally present listening audiobook. I'm not known as strong planner and I won't even start on how my organizing skills are.=D
Basic idea is try and see what is happening. Sometimes things from the attempt give a totally new direction and so on. Colors are a separate hemoroid area, but same way as it is - try and see, just treating them as a values of light (and thats what it is) rather then just different color tones - for a fun of it. Just cant think of anything I could say clearly for a chapter or two at this point.
I might cry ;-;
this is wonderful fool, and I agree with Inq. You really should provide more insight into how you go about your pieces...they're just so great...
Not really sure what to do? How about some general scene making techniques that could be filled under sketching and not just pixel art? The planning stages of these pieces.
Or how you keep such a large scene under control from start to finish without losing sight of what you originally plan?
Or how you go about choosing the palettes which are so suitable and create the right mood of a piece?
Or how you mix plenty of detail with almost no detail so seemlessly (For example on "Scratch my back, would ya?" where you've got the highly detailed alligator city in front of the almost flat coloured mountains in the background, yet they do not clash!
Considering how you're the most decorated artist on the site, I'm certain these are things we all want to see! I can certainly say that I'm one of the guys that would most like to see this. We all want to pick your brain. :)
OMG DUDE YOU are amazing...... Gosh i wish we could steal people's talent :) FOr sure i would get yours!
Beautiful as always. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the shading and stone road detail! 5/5
Fool you are too cool with your fooly cooly pixel skiiruzu! "Weldo" makes me smile
The Pixel god has spoken in pixels again!!!
You are such an inspiration, thanks for sharing your work 
It's all great and all, but I'm specially in love with the background and mood :)
When you think youve seen the best of Fool, your happily mistaken :P Once again wow'd :D
W00t!!! A new piece by Fool!!! This IS a great day!!!
Man, I'm in tears just looking at this... I'd sure like to see a copy of that contract you signed with the guy downstairs!
Total respect.
Thanks guys=)
TheInquisitor, can't think of any tutorial I could make - not good to explaining things or can tell in advance if actions I take on the picture will make it looks certain way.
Elk, sinse all pieces are made in diffeternt time don't really have wip for the whole pic, maybe just a few last gifs on the color tweaking stages. I'll see if I could get some disent shots together.
Hatch, thanks=) Checked with dictionary and fixed.=)
Holy shit, the idea and the pixeling really blows my mind.
I see a group of unkempt boys who won't let a ladylike girl (violin and all) into their club. The title suggests a similar scenario, but Buzz isn't a particularly girly name, and there's another character who could obviously be called Buzz (the bee-bot), but he's already a member of the club. Am I misinterpreting something?
Change the preview please, it is very misleading. Awesome job!
wow! this is friggin awsm!!!! perfection at its best!!
only thing i could criticize is that this is TOO perfect!! ^^.... for me this almost looks like a hand drawn illustration, and hardly seems like PA (it surely is PA) but i think im more into the oldschool 8bit era which has a kind of impressionistic feeling to it, wether ur one of the old manieristic masters
but anyway , this surely is just superb!!!
Lol I hate you
is there a WIP? would love to see one
<i>Bump for tutorial!</i>
I second that motion...or third it? 
I always look forward to new pieces of art by you Fool, they're always so amazing.
You seems to really like robots isn't it. Or maybe because it's easier to do (for my mind I think not ^^).
Excellent job however (as usual !!).
You ever thought about making a tutorial, Fool? Your pieces are always so creative and inspirational.Your pixel work ain't too bad either.
Amazinnnnng!!! You are a master of pixel art!
Thanks for another masterpiece...
Yes, another Fool piece! I always look forward to your next submission, and when I seen the preview, my heart rose. Of course, this is magnificent.
Although, you used a lot more colors than you usually do. But I can understand as the characters are vivid and the background is not. And the foreground is different too.
Looking forward to your next one, don't let me down!
You participate in working out of games? Than such talent is engaged? A train magnificent!
fool, you are definintely my favorite artist on pixel joint. you always have new stuff and it's always ridicously awesome! congrats on being kick ass!
