Wow, so you took a picture, plagiarized it, and fooled 59 suckers into faving it? Good job, mate.

 

I have nothing against inspiration, but taking a photo or an art piece and copying it IN MAD PIXELZ SKILLZ (not!) without the author's permission does not make it OK even if you put a link to the original in the description. I thought that one was obvious and appropriate steps would have been taken by the staff upon submission of this. I guess I was wrong. And people comment on how well you did the metallics... Jesus Christ, is this the Twilight Zone?!

Thanks everyone! :D When I've finish my entry for this weeks challenge I'll have a go at animating this.

[Edit] And not a badly drawn cheapskate version. ;)

This is kick-ass!

reis (Level 6 Serial Killer) @ 9/7/2011 06:35

 Your colors is perfect!


user
Mrmo Tarius (Level 10 Master Sniper) @ 9/7/2011 04:50

 I could do it without any colors, by flailing my arms around and loudly describing how awesome a terminator is!!! :D


user
Mathias (Level 7 Junk) @ 9/6/2011 22:29

I could do it with just two.


user
Muiriled (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 9/6/2011 21:03

Nine colors.. HA! I could do the same with just three..   o_O
fav.

Judgedredd: How do those links support your statement?  Considering this was referenced and those other pieces were not makes a huge difference. Also those are drawn fairly well, so I don't see how it proves his "inability to draw well". With the grid-method, I can imagine why some clusters are simular.


user
ThePixelKnight (Level 1 Rookie) @ 9/6/2011 11:55

I drawn this as I described and not with a 'cheapskate method instead' as you put it, and if I could prove it I would.


user
newGuy (Level 3 Enforcer) @ 9/6/2011 11:46

 Alright, you lost me. How is it again that the third link you posted proves his inability to draw well?

Anyhow, I guess when someone says your work is just too good to be yours, its actually just a hell of a compliment, isnt't it?

Love the metal texture, masterpiece.


user
judgedredd (Level 1 Rookie) @ 9/6/2011 11:08

 actually, your picture does prove its a "redux and refine". A huge amount of pixelclusters are exactly the same, and there would be even more similarities if you fiddled about with the resize (Pixelknights seems to be squashed and some parts are a little bit nudged). And given thePixelknight's proven inability to draw well

I'd say this is most definitely not the grid method, but the cheapskate method instead. At the very least its traced as hell, and he'd never be able to produce work this good on his/her own. I'm reporting this.


user
Mathias (Level 7 Junk) @ 9/6/2011 08:20

Yep, I'm familiar with the grid method. You did a great job!


user
ivancat (Level 2 Quiet One) @ 9/6/2011 08:15

 SO COOL~!


user
ThePixelKnight (Level 1 Rookie) @ 9/6/2011 04:14

hahaha hilarious Mathias! :D And shows how close I got it to the original picture! I drawn it in PSP 7 were I applied a grid to the picture and the same grid to the canvas I was drawing on. Then I just draw whats in the grid squares on the picture into the grid squares on canvas, if that makes sence. So it looks like I got it pretty accurate with hilarious 'disco' results. :D


user
ui_ (Level 4 Deputy) @ 9/5/2011 23:49

 looks like 64 colors!! jajajaja.... pretty ace palette


user
Mathias (Level 7 Junk) @ 9/5/2011 17:11

Yeah the T1 is awesome.

And just so everyone knows you didn't redux and refine:

Everything moves around, which I think, proves it valid. Though, little to no creative license was taken; just a copy. But a good one.


user
Dox (Level 1 Rookie) @ 9/5/2011 12:02

Wow, that's amazing! Oh, wait... 8 colors? You're a genius!


user
neofotistou (Level 5 Captain) @ 9/5/2011 08:22

Wow! 9 colors. It would be freaking cool even if there were 30 colors in this! You're a genius PK!


user
ThePixelKnight (Level 1 Rookie) @ 9/5/2011 06:10

@ Mrmo Tarius It was 8 colours but then I realised I needed red for the eyes lol :D

@ DawnBringer Thanks! :) At first I wasn't sure if 8 / 9 colours would be enough, but it turned out better than expected :)

@ artistictiger I did try a lighter reds but didn't look right, so the red I used in the end was the sweet spot :)

And thanks everyone for the comments! :D


user
Mrmo Tarius (Level 10 Master Sniper) @ 9/5/2011 05:27

 I was always fascinated with the Terminator design. Great work here!

Also, nine colors??! LIES!!! it can't be! O_O


user
DawnBringer (Level 10 Pixel artist) @ 9/5/2011 04:22

Prime example of how a motif with specularities/contrast can negotiate a limited palette with impressive result.


user
Arkan85 (Level 9 Rear Admiral) @ 9/5/2011 03:56

Great work!


user
epix (Level 1 Rookie) @ 9/5/2011 02:14

That's an amazing looking metal effect.


user
Killermachine (Level 3 Private Eye) @ 9/4/2011 22:14

 seriously great work.. I cant even imagine how much effort it must have taken since i suck at making metallic stuff


user
Stickman (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 9/4/2011 16:40

Great job on getting the metallic feel.


user
artistictiger (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 9/4/2011 15:19

Wow man! this is really nice! omg....Loving your work:)

Just a suggestion, but you could add some highlights to the eyes or shade them to look brighter,will make it look a little more menacing and cooler.;)..But maybe it's just me lol


user
CELS (Level 7 Lotus) @ 9/4/2011 14:34

I am very impressed. Your pixelling technique is improving at an alarming rate.


user
Hiuru (Level 5 Killer Klown) @ 9/4/2011 14:29

 Perfect
