Thank you all for your comments! Colors are something I'm looking forward to explore, glad it had a nice start.

Amazing dithering and pixels! And in multicolor!

How this doesn't get more attention is just beyond me. Perfect.

@Frost: Yes it is! ;)

This was an interesting experience to see how much fuzzy detail it could have without loosing any substancial coherence. So it's inevitable that it ends up looking messy...

Can a 80's Sony Trinitron do the job?

Wow, I want to see more of this experimentation!

Thanks! Well, thats part of the fun too, I think the subject is decently readable but ambiguity gives more possibilities of interpretations, and it's great that more people see more things (or the same things differently, you get the idea)... I'm still trying to find my own style, so, who knows, there may be more stuff like this coming ;)...

It's funny that you think that way. Yes, this does have it's share of experimentation, but it still has the same meticulous pixel by pixel sorting philosophy beneath it, just like any pixel art. And I do hope this is considered pixel art, or I spent a bunch of hours on MS Paint for no good reason! (Yes, I assure you I didn't use weird tools or other crazy things)

Delicious! It´s like an "happier" Syndicate.

Thank you all!

@ultimaodin & Josiah: Regarding the foreground, it didn't used to be that saturated:

I though this old version didn't looked as good in eyes, but the final leads to those contrast issues. I'll see if I fix them, but for now i'll procrastinate that :p ...

Well, I dunno... I don't except any significant improvement in that department (but do suprise me, that's why i'm here!)

Love ZX pics. So vibrant colors!

Composition is quite good, and the amplifier is perfect. Agree on the arm (e.g. cyan could still go a little down, sleeve a bit more damaged) but the blue on the face is the best choice, just black looked like part of the face was missing.

Oh and that magenta on the back of the saxophone player's head looks a bit off. Maybe dither it?



user
thick @ 8/27/2010 03:05 commented on floppy

Marvelous! That's the demo-touch it was missing ;). So it was kinda matter of refining the solidity of the floppy. Thank you Helm!

I'll be sure to update it soon-ish

It's ok to point out mistakes snowk, only thing is the solution to this one isn't very intuitive... I tried dithering but it ruined it and i can't fetch a color to help aa the banding...

I like how the hair in the top right panel looks like a hill with a tree, gives the idea of a bond with nature...



user

Thank you all for your comments, and I absolutely agree that this piece suffers from various issues.

High colour count is mainly due to not having a fixed palette and adding way too many useless colors for shadows and aa. A pretty amateurish mistake and if i recall i had a ridiculous 100 colors at one point, ugh... (Maybe there's still one or another useless purple color somewhere that should be scrapped)

And dithering may seem quite raw and inconsistent as I tried different styles in different occasions. This may explain multiple patterns and some parts being more polished than others. I also had a bit of difficulty in creating the grainy texture of the floppy without looking too flat, so it ended being a bit sloppy indeed.

Once again i'm still learning so i'm sorry if i made a doubtful impression. I will try to fix these issues on future pieces. Any further advices are welcomed!
