this is so freaking cool. i give it a 10 (on a scale of 1-10)
Chace (Level 5 Captain) at 5/3/2009 6:45:46 AM
Unbelievably awesome. How many colours did you use for this?
8pixelshighandrising (Level 1 Rookie) at 5/11/2008 3:02:23 PM
I really love the crispness of the whole piece
Slemsvamp (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 1/27/2008 4:26:36 AM
You're absolutely fantastic! Unique dithering
theguy (Level 5 Rokkyu) at 11/17/2007 3:08:55 PM
This is absolutely amazing so smooth and sharp at the same time... well done
AwesomePossum (Level 1 Thug) at 3/18/2007 3:04:49 PM
Excellent job on this! The only thing I don't Like is how you used a whole butt load of collors on the moons shine in the sky.
jedzed (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 2/24/2007 6:02:32 AM
that is so effing good probably one of the best ive seen
ceddo (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 2/24/2007 2:52:41 AM
Fantastic style, and design. I love every bit of it!
@skeddles: dithering the background would have taken so much longer for an almost invisible effect. Besides, he hasn't dithered in any other area in the pic. I don't think "at least" are words you should be using for a yearly best pixel placer.
skeddles (Level 11 Psychopath) at 1/4/2007 7:36:32 PM
couldnt you have at least dithered that huge gradient?
FlyGuy (Level 7 Underboss) at 11/24/2006 2:02:00 PM
Wow...Why is this not Top pixel art? This is to cool...
Jason_c_o (Level 1 Depressed) at 10/10/2006 5:53:50 PM
I like the style of this piece. And the colors are well-done as well.
thor (Level 1 Depressed) at 9/8/2006 8:16:51 AM
How do you do the circular gradient around the moon, by pixelling? And how do you choose your colours with there being so many? I love this, fav.
2dgamers (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/6/2006 2:24:14 PM
Love the angle on this! Everything is placed so perfectly. The style is pretty unique too. I don't think I've ever come across anything like this. It almost looks like a cartoon-3D rendition. Sweet! You nailed this one as a 10/10 score in my book! 
Lawrence (Level 10 Operative) at 7/15/2006 12:22:49 PM
Gah, I can't believe I havn't spotted this yet!! The light emitted from the moon in the background must've been a real pain in the arse, heh. I think the thing I like the most about this is the texture on the pumpkins and the sharped angled style on his clothes.8 stars & favourite!
GigaGuy (Level 1 White Belt) at 12/10/2005 6:04:16 PM
This is.. amazing. You could easily mistake this for a CGed image. The quality of the pixelwork here is really something. (Heh, and I thought the scaled preview was impressive) The game is pretty neat also. Full marks and a Fav'
Fred (Level 3 Enforcer) at 12/10/2005 2:40:20 AM
Ekhm :D FAV AND 5 POINTS! The moon and word Jack is super! milkiss (Level 1 Quiet One) at 10/29/2005 9:42:36 PM

Riva (Level 5 Captain) at 10/9/2005 7:48:04 AM
randomblink - I am sorry but Im very lazy and overworked person so Im not planning any tutorials. But if you want to know how I learned what I know I can tell you. Its simple: whenever I came long some graphicaly impressive game (for me) I made lots of snapshots, then loaded them into gfx app (preferably with "magnify" tool :) and studyed them for hours. Finding out how they are aliging pixels and colors, disecting palette etc.I spent days with screens from games like Legend of Kyrandia,Gods,Chaos engine, Speedball2,Dizzy,Lionhearth,Perihelion ...
You dont need to wait till somebody chew all the ideas for you and serve them on silver in 10 steps ;)
randomblink (Level 6 SWAT) at 9/27/2005 8:21:46 AM
wow...Your stuff is amazing... You oughta consider doing a tutorial or something...
Or point us to where you learned to do what you do...
Very sweet stuff... I like your work...
Aiko (Level 1 Quiet One) at 9/3/2005 12:44:06 PM
fantastic piece, but the lantern has no light coming off of it.... Riva (Level 5 Captain) at 9/1/2005 2:42:08 AM
I started with the single color font for the text and then pixel-by-pixel added 3d effect, material- shading, hilites etc.
Wannahlakujuu (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/30/2005 3:23:31 PM
You can't do anything that isn't absolutely perfect can you? I really love the robe thing, and the text. Is the text hand done, or a font?
Blick (Level 6 Commander) at 8/29/2005 10:12:34 PM
Well, I don't necessarily mean gradients as "computer generated gradients", I'm also counting some areas on the pumpkins, the text "Jack", but they're all used well enough or broken up a bit to still keep it clean looking.Also, I just noticed he has no glow from the lamp on him. Perhaps that'd give a bit more atmosphere to the scene. Then again, maybe not.
Riva (Level 5 Captain) at 8/29/2005 9:38:15 AM
"you should add some fog in the graveyard to give it more atmosphere." - definetly. I was just a bit exhausted when I finshed this one and Im so overworked theese days :(
If I just got a decently payd job for a change :)
Faktablad - I doubt its talent. Im doing pixels for about 13 years now :) Riva (Level 5 Captain) at 8/29/2005 9:29:25 AM
Blick - there is only one gradient - the circular one making the 'nigth sky' (I know its really obvious) but I cant find any other grad. :-o
Thank everybody for the positive c.
EyeCraft (Level 3 Stalker) at 8/29/2005 5:34:20 AM
Superb! My favourites in it are the text and the skin 
MarioH2O (Level 4 Button Man) at 8/28/2005 10:53:26 PM
Dude, that's freaking pwnage.You're skill is among the greatest I've ever seen.
DeathByChris (Level 4 Team Leader) at 8/28/2005 10:15:58 PM
im totally diggin that text at the top, this is friggin awesome. you should add some fog in the graveyard to give it more atmosphere.
fr0st (Level 4 Killer Klown) at 8/28/2005 8:48:13 PM
fuck me this is fucking awsome, jesuz, talk about taking it to a whole new level, dam fine piece here.... *stares in awe*o.O
The B.O.B. (Level 11 Master Assassin) at 8/28/2005 8:27:48 PM
I agree with what everyone has just said...thats right....everything.. Blick (Level 6 Commander) at 8/28/2005 6:07:21 PM
So many gradients. At least they're well used gradients. Kirra (Level 1 White Belt) at 8/28/2005 5:56:51 PM
that looks awesome. Everything about it looks great. too cool
Faktablad (Level 6 SWAT) at 8/28/2005 5:47:46 PM
There are some artists on this site with talent coming out of their ears. You are one of those few, my friend. This is amazing.
Badassbill (Level 9 Necrophiliac) at 8/28/2005 4:23:10 PM
That is amazing, I love everything about it.

Chace - Is using 175 collors, but of course most of it is used for the background scale which is done by the evil gradient tool
not by hand. (It would not make much sense)
