I love the wings. and the lightning too... I love everything!
Glad to have helped. Banding is inavoidable with many colors, and demoscene-era art doesn't care about it because the art was shown on less precise monitors than todays, it just didn't show. But on sharp LCD screens, banding becomes a real problem. Oldschool demoscene practices need reassessment in this light.
Thanks Helm, this is very usefull! I'm never too old to learn.
And yes: there is some banding in this piece...

This is what people are reffering to as banding.
http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11299&PID=139322#139322 check here for resources on what we call banding in these communities.
Very nicely pixelled. My own crit would be the back foot which has some strange lighting between the ankle and the heel. It makes the definition a little odd.
I know what you mean Emil: there were stange things going on in that contest. Must agree on that one!
On the other note: I think I fixed the banding. I think... Please help me out:
~ Color banding: there was no color loss in converting the .pcx to .gif so there was no stange corrections made during that process
~ Pixel banding: if this means litterly banding (like stripes) of colors within the picture, I do not see it anymore (perhaps a bit in the legs). Different people see banding in different parts, so is it something I do not see or is it really nitpicking?
It's true! Beautiful angel girls do always tend to gravitate towards pixel artists...
It's great to see a 32 color piece from you. And I love the complementary contrast level. The banding is under the front tit but meh, the piece rocks.
It was pretty strange that you didn't won that icon compo... The results got pretty FUBAREd a couple of times and I really don't know what happened. :|
Anyway, the banding issues people are reffering to is probably the backs, just beneath the armpits, and the two outmost leaves on each side. Personally it doesn't bother me that much, it's just that people here tend to be pretty anal about certain things. :P
Smooth colors, nice palette, crisp details, good anatomy, and most importantly sexy, all that I like :D
It should be the next PixelJoint banner! ;)
It's correct that this piece is converted in PhotoShop from .pcx to .gif (as the old DeluxePaint programm I use does not support the .gif format - *lol*)
@Gabriel: I must admit I do not see any signs of banding - could you clarify where it does go wrong?
You're the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ( two days later...)eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeest!
Haha, very very very very very very very very very very very very very BEAUTIFUL 
Thanks guys, for the comments - clothing is sooo overrated... 
{ Awesome as usual, Theo! Love those tits wings! 
great
