Superb

Great sense of scale.

I love the wind and lighting. Nice job!

Cool!

This is a great job, I admire you!

I feel the wind.

For the dithered gradient I used the dither settings in paint.net, which are a bit tedius generally but for this it was fine. If you mean the paralax animation it was largely scripted in GM

That sky takes you work right? or is a tool for making every sing pix.

Like I expected, first place :)

es el mejor

There´s a world there.

shhh

By the way, shouldn't there be ice in Niflheim?

It should be under the zoom button

How do i rate pixel art?

This is brilliant piece :D

I think I am in love <3

Brilliant, simply brilliant!

OMG so beautiful!!

Well, gee thanks guys. Wasn't expecting this much of a response. In case you're wondering I layered in the individual components in Gamemaker and programmed the parallax scrolling. I also had it automatically save the individual frames. I haven't heard of a program that can do this kind of thing for pixel art which I'm really surprised by.

I actually had to reduce the number of frames because the program I use to convert the individual frames into a gif couldn't handle that many.

Very bad ass!

i like this :)

This is nice! The animation and style work well together

Awesome ! 

Wow, this is my favourite piece I've seen in a LONG time. Fantastic work, this is just gorgeous!

This is awesome, I love the way you worked contrast, specially on the specular highlights (ye white dots on the rocks). I didn´t like much the grass animation but it is fine, the cape is super great! I also feel that the right close to the top part of the main trunck on the background has a strange antialiase. I also think the backgrouns dither is a bit out of place. These are just some personal criticism, not that I could do any better. Cheers for a super inspiring and serene piece!

Awesome !

This has that bit of magic that is so rare in pieces.

It has a quality That Reaches the soul of a very special way

Awesome! tho something about the brightest grass color is weird to me. Still great though!

I like the ambition, well done.

Absolutely fantastic. I immediately thought of this as a theme song for it.

ohhh myyyyyyy @ - @

So beautiful. 

What and epic scence you have here! 

Cool image.

Wow, this is just utterly amazing! I don't even dare to begin to think how long it took to put this together.

this is really cool. great atmosphere

Top stuff Mr Fawful. This piece I probably find the most appealing in your gallery :) The animation, while fairly simple looking (I'm sure it took you ages though), also goes a long way in creating atmoshpere. Overall just great!

Yes please. 

the big rock's colors and textures are really nice. well done!

I love this!

Mood, colors, animation - amazing!

Really fantastic. Your previous work has been underappreciated, but I have a feeling this piece won't be :)

Goddamit, it's amazing.
Didn't expect animation.
 

Wow.

This is utterly amazing!

Nice, but 256 frames and 1.8MB?!? The rule of thirds could have made the composition more dramatic.
