Done to accompany my old Feral Beast sprite, for Scuba Steve's 'King Of Spriters' activity on Pixelopolis. My quickest work in relation to size (sketched tuesday, pixelled wednesday) and came out a lot better than I had hoped. 16 colors including transparency.

Pro tip: no matter what the piece is, if you stare at it long enough you will only see its flaws.

Carnivac (Level 8 Behemoth) @ 3/23/2014 14:38

Heh. Thanks. It's pretty flawed and look how old it is now. Man... over 8 years. :O How time flies...

Daimoth (Level 3 Stalker) @ 3/23/2014 13:47

Hands down, one of the sexiest pieces on this entire website, and I'm not even into comics. Well done, Carnivac.

Carnivac (Level 8 Behemoth) @ 4/23/2013 04:27

Thanks. I don't know if most dentists would agree. :P

Bohnz (Level 1 Depressed) @ 4/23/2013 04:14

the teeth are fucking beautiful.

lfdf (Level 5 Assistant Manager) @ 12/11/2012 08:49

Cool.

johanvinet (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 11/1/2012 06:22

Wow. Love it. I like the linear dithering type you use.

SolarLune (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 6/14/2012 13:12

Very "Marvel Vs. Capcom" -esque. It looks like a scan of a comic drawing. Excellent job!

67-Bit (Level 1 Rookie) @ 4/29/2012 05:50

Nice, I love the shadows and effect. Bravo! ;)

Bub (Level 1 Gangster) @ 2/28/2012 18:23

This is pretty epic -especially the face and hair

Gwes (Level 1 Private) @ 2/28/2012 14:16

Interesting dither style.

PinBall (Level 1 Thug) @ 2/7/2012 11:13

Why does this remind me from Hellsing? XD
But awesome pic! love it! ^^

PinBall (Level 1 Thug) @ 12/25/2011 07:42

Lllllllllllllove it!

xxmantisxx (Level 7 Mass Murderer) @ 5/18/2011 17:41

That was for a diffreent piece, i'm sorry.

xxmantisxx (Level 7 Mass Murderer) @ 5/18/2011 16:46

With 76 images this must've taken forever.

BlakMetl (Level 1 Rookie) @ 4/10/2011 07:41

absolute top colors ! everything fits in this sprite <3

Sneep29 (Level 4 Deputy) @ 2/22/2011 23:15

This sprite looks alot like it's inspired by the work from the old arcade game, "Bio-Mechanical Toy". Neat work.

GormenGhast (Level 5 Detective) @ 1/31/2011 05:35

This is seriously cool... loads of attitude.

HummingBird (Level 1 Thug) @ 1/28/2011 05:50

Kich (Level 4 Rubbish) @ 11/28/2010 14:22

Awesome! The hair is spectacular.

Argyle (Level 6 Manager) @ 6/9/2010 07:36

Man, I just love the rendering of this every time I look at it.

arialks2 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 7/3/2009 00:35

Holy PO: I liked the hair

Oskar� (Level 1 Rookie) @ 6/24/2009 14:45

Hair is nicely done

RPG_Boy (Level 5 Captain) @ 6/7/2009 09:13

metaldev (Level 4 Murderer) @ 12/18/2008 20:10

jamon (Level 10 Operative) @ 5/27/2007 01:15

NIce dithering!

sausage (Level 5 Sniper) @ 3/31/2007 01:19

When i see this it makes me Think "Non-Cartoony Pocket Fighter"
If you've played it you'll know what i mean by it looks like the Character Select Sprite..........

sk8m8trix (Level 1 Rookie) @ 9/12/2006 19:34

this like some world of warcraft shit

mutantenemy (Level 5 Serial Killer) @ 2/26/2006 07:42

lilhawk2892 (Level 1 Depressed) @ 1/11/2006 09:08

wow wutever it takes to get to pixel hall of fame youve got it in this pic

yukito (Level 1 Rookie) @ 1/10/2006 04:37

Kind of made me think of Alucard from the Hellsing anime. Nice work

Opacus (Level 7 Ichikyu) @ 1/9/2006 06:41

This is just pure ownage. Fantastic job...great dithering; not too overdosed. Nice hair texture, great evil look.....but enough talking; 5 points and a fav say the rest.

Carnivac (Level 8 Behemoth) @ 1/8/2006 08:44

The red things (which on the fighter sprite you can are on his sides too) are markings and somewhat heavy scarring that was caused as a child during a short story I wrote in the back of my maths excercise book 13 years ago. Basically it was part of this demonic half machine half organic thing with this massive set of claws that trapped him tight and tried to take all his human soul out of him and intensify the demon hound side. The scarrings are naturally colored when he's human but change to an intense crimson when in this form. From the notes I wrote back then its something to do with his blood. But again looking back at the notes and story bits, man I wrote some crap back then.

<(''<)(^''^)(>'')> (Level 1 Rookie) @ 1/7/2006 19:49

markings most likely

Twisted (Level 1 Quiet One) @ 1/7/2006 10:40

Intense O.O One question though, what are those red things on his shoulders?

Shark (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 1/7/2006 02:16

By far your best work yet

, this pwns, this has to be one of the fastest pieces to go top at weekly showcase, and it beat slays 'fishdick' within a day or two. This has an amazing pallete, i could just sit here all day.

dr.feng (Level 1 Rookie) @ 1/5/2006 17:36

this is a fav of mine

Atooi (Level 5 Soldier) @ 1/5/2006 12:00

It is a great piece! Good job. I like it a lot.

Carnivac (Level 8 Behemoth) @ 1/5/2006 09:18

It's been down for a long, long time. I should just remove the link. For the time being I have no website.

fil_razorback (Level 5 Lieutenant) @ 1/5/2006 09:12

BTW, your website is down :(

fil_razorback (Level 5 Lieutenant) @ 1/5/2006 09:11

Wow...so perfect

Carnivac (Level 8 Behemoth) @ 1/5/2006 08:11

Updated with slight touch ups and minor color adjustments to fit with the refined version of the sprite (not shown on this site, is basically the same with a more vibrant palette).

Dunno why the hell I wrote spare minute twice like that in my previous comment. I must have been damn tired....zzzz....

The B.O.B. (Level 11 Master Assassin) @ 1/4/2006 21:59

Insane quality, guy. This has got to be your best outta the bunch in your gallery so far. Amazing detail, and work considering the time you spent on it! Prepare yourself Wolverine, cuz your fixing to get a 5 point rating and a Fav' bitch!!

GGGGGRRRReaaattt job....

lunarknight (Level 2 Quiet One) @ 1/4/2006 19:25

Wow.

Fav'd.

Carnivac (Level 8 Behemoth) @ 1/4/2006 18:25

Thanks. I think I will update it with a couple of shadows cast by his claws, when I get a spare minute. When I get a spare minute anyways

big brother (Level 11 Admiral) @ 1/4/2006 17:34

I love this piece! The sideways shading is very innovative, reminds me a bit of scanlines. Only crit might be that the hand nearest to us seems pushed against his chest. It needs to cast more of a shadow or more contrast or something.

ZmanZ (Level 1 Private) @ 1/4/2006 17:21

That's some insane pixel art man, great job

TheChaindog (Level 5 Killer Klown) @ 1/4/2006 16:07

Amazing work. There isn't much more to say than that.

Larwick (Level 8 Tengu) @ 1/4/2006 15:26

Absolutely fantastic, goes brilliantly with the sprite. It's pixelled reely well. I do indeed like this.

Adarias (Level 11 Bonsai) @ 1/4/2006 15:24

Jeeze.............

as far as the hand, try wither making it a bit brighter on the highlight, darker in the shadows, or both.....it is closer to the viewer afterall and deserves hightened contrast

even without touchups, 5 and fav....

Brian the Great (Level 8 Brigadier General) @ 1/4/2006 14:55

I love every pixel of it.

"Jeez this got approved fast. Only just put it up 10 mins ago."
Sorry.

Faktablad (Level 6 SWAT) @ 1/4/2006 14:43

Mega cool shading style. Something's not quite right about the anatomy, but it pulls together very well.

Carnivac (Level 8 Behemoth) @ 1/4/2006 14:38

Jeez this got approved fast. Only just put it up 10 mins ago.
Anyways yeah that hand bugs me too. I might try something with it. Overall though I'm more pleased with this piece than any other I've done. Think I'm closer to that horror comic book feel I've wanted to do for years.

iSTVAN (Level 8 Cannibal) @ 1/4/2006 14:23

Brilliant stuff. A nice follow up to cool character. I can't think of what game style it reminds me of, but the hair is particularly successful.

The only thing I think could possibly use some work is his right hand. It looks too much like it's hugging his body, which appears awkward. If it cast a bit of shadow on his body a more 3 dimensional volume to it could perhaps be achieved :)

DeathByChris (Level 5 Killer Klown) @ 1/4/2006 14:20

holy crap thats insane, feels like it should be in a comic book.
