great piece dzamone, HQ as usual :-) cheers man

I love this piece. I'm using it as my avatar for now :-)

haha, mathias, you're totally right. the sig is butt ugly. but that's how it was done. can't change it now, it was done like that and I probably liked it from some deviant reason :-) thanks for a sincere and sharp comment, you're the man!

Amazing piece, great colour choice, and only 9 of them. Awesome.

Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it a lot.

I believe its because when one opts for dithering, one opts for the loose or strict (raster or as I call it cross-hair :-) ) method. Since I went with the super strict raster on this one then it has even too much of that detail in the shades and that might be too dpainty. I mean - it was an exercise (I was just making new curved colored ares and setting up basic lights and then immediately putting the cross-haired pixels to smooth the transitions), and you are right, there was a lot of things done that way back then on the demo-scene, and it was a popular way to do it.

Hand rastering and anti-aliasing is the best school for pixels, teaches patience in work. And I can't agree that all dpaint works look alike, it's all a matter of detail work that can be similar, since there is a limited amount of ways to do it. Rest is what is actually on the image what makes the world of difference. And pixeling for me still is working under that constraint of a small number of colours and making best out of it.

De Luxe Paint baby :-) Old school stuff. I made this years ago, but it is one of my favourite pieces. It started as a hand dithering/anti-aliasing exercise for myself, and grew into this. Pixeling is FUN!

Ha ha ha... Awesome association. Thanks! (good that it wasn't Jar Jar :-) )
