this is just absolutely jaw dropingly beautiful! The background is very well played too
Thank you ev'rybody (:
@Theo: The background rule is there because it's often just due to laziness. Especially for sprites where the ability to work on different backgrounds is a neccessity :D This Piece is universally recognised as needing its background too :)
@AIGuy: I agree. Even though I pixelled the entire flower first, I feel that that grey works far better with the green XD Oh well. The saturation of the red highlights probably isn't helping matters either...
Nice one mate, really stylish!
AIGuy: That's not brown, not really anyway. A warm grey at most. Looks fine to me.
This is real nice. Although I'm not sure about the brown in the rose. I think maybe another color could have worked better, but brown is my least favorite color, so I'm biased.
Something close to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLQ82WmAWd4 .
Really good! With so few colors, and really dark and moody.
I do not understand why many pixel artists disapprove the use of a blank background - for some transparency is the only way to go...
Like in this case: the black backdrop (and the way the rose is positioned) definitly adds to the atmosphere of the piece.
Huh ok, fair enough! I like what you got here. Great colors.
WELL, there's no real meaning to it. Just wanted to pixel :D Started off with the flower right in the middle of the canvas, then decided to move it down to make it feel like it's lurking in the depths of something. "Insidious" comes from the (moving?) thorny vine to the left of the leaves, makes it sorta seem like something's off with the rose.
@Ego: thanks ^.^
So what's the concept here? Any personal meaning or anything?
I don't exactly associate the adjective 'insidious' with beautiful roses very often. And all that blank dark void, too. Explain.
lovly colors! :)
