you seem to be a very hostile person especially about this... i'm not lying so please stop attempting to convict me when i sat here and saw this being made, of course its not properly pixelled neither of us have any background in pixelling!!! i've beendoing this for about a month, and she has for well, i think 3 days, this was the only piece she ever has done, which i think i stated before, i'm not good enough yet to critique her work, which is why it was posted.

I'm not going to explain myself over everything this was done by someone close to me i know how it was done it meant alot for people to see it, but seems like people go way out of their way to "prove" their point...

I 'm trying to be positive here man, i told you it wasnt an editted pic (which it wasnt) and you can believe me or not, you obviously dont so drop it, the piece didnt make it through, so i'm not sure someone as high up as yourself on the site is still arguing about a rejected piece anyways.

and finally i'm sure people here have good intentions, thats why i'm on this site, i'm attempting to get good with my pixelling and know with the help of the comminuty here i can get better much quicker, but nice try with the deceiving people with good intentions, i'm not here to make enemies, just for the love of pixelling.

you can have the last word or whatever but i'm going to move on with things now, cheers

ok man we can argue about this all day but that would be pointless, i know for my personal benefit that she did this by hand with no tracing/editing the original, and you can believe me or not, the fact that there are so many colors IS because she saved it as a jpg, which is the aa around the ednges and massive color count and all, i forgot to tell her png/gif/bmp only with pixels when she was working on it, and the original project file is gone unfortunately so that all we have, i'm happy she posted it because ppl will atleast see her work, and thats whats important isnt it? i mean isnt the whole point of pixel art that you have fun with it and express yourself? i mean it is ART isnt it? and art is all about expression... this was her very first piece and as such i thought it was quite well personally.

so i'm not trying to fight with you or argue about anything, you can say it was traced or copied or whatnot and thats fine, but i assure you it most definately is not or i wouldnt be spending the time to type all this brother. so thats all i gotta say about it man take it or leave it... best wishes

well i call bullshit on your bullshit, as i watched her make this, this was her first pixelart image that was completed, and while it does use alot of colors indeed, i can guarantee you this was done by hand, and yes that was the reference, but NOT a trace

thanks for the suggestions, got a few other things im workin on at the moment but i see what you mean.

for one of your first completed pieces i think you did an excellent job, and im proud of you :)

this is really cool!, i like the character design and the colors and shading are brilliant, and the border os very nice as well, overall, excellent!

hmmm, very nice, i like the idea, love zelda, and the fact that its only 3 colors is very good!, not sure about the line art... looks a tad bit like a 'sketch-ish' look not sure if thats intended, but overall i like it and think you did a very good job ;)

very nice, not what i was expecting from the preview haha, good nonetheless, i like the hat especially, overall good, cute, detailed style :)

considerably better, great improvement!

cool, considerable detail for such a small sprite, thought it was/is kakashi at first glance... not sure if it is hehe

very cool character design, would like to see more of him :)

brilliant picture, with only 2 colors, thats is quite a feat, excellently executed!

too awesome, i definately have to study your technique on lighting, you pull it off so smoothly and effortless seeming...

the shadows, shading, lighting, you got the whole thing down perfectly, masterful work for sure

gotta say, all your character sets like this are very well done, good work :)

cool animation, he seems energetic o.0 haha at first glance i thought it was the scout from tf2, another possibility could be red/ash from pokemon xD, nice one any how

the level textures remind me of sonic :P nice piece, the colors are a very nice choice, they accent each other very well looks like a fun game, id love to play it, especially if its a platformer... which it appears to be!

awesome idea, palette, executions and that sky... the dithering is top notch!, faved. :)

very cool, almost supernatural mood with this one, very nice

this is great i especially love the necklace or whatever it is alont the bottom, and the hair is magnificent as well! cool idea indeed

staggering, that is what this picture does trying to get my mind around it as well as the creation of it haha, this is very trippy and perfectly executed... just wow

this is amazing, so smooth and 10 colors? unbelievable, great great great

funny little piece, good style and congrats on the win!

hmm, never encountered warmachine, but this chatacter is really cool, and the art is great, especially a 3 to 4 hr 16 color image!

very cool, surprised to see that it was only 8 colors, outstanding work!
