Oh, sorry. I was just thinking about the intricacies of the sand mandalas and their impermanence when I started making this. Really, I should've made it circular and then deleted it, like a real sand mandala

those jellyfish, so cute <3

@Friend: i wasn't going for anything so deep. all i was really thinking about when drawing this was the way skyscrapers reflect the sky of a partially cloudy summer's day, then just sort of went from there.

These are 2-bit: 00, 01, 10, and 11. Four colors. Very nice, though!

That's a really cool way to animate water. Not too distracting. Great piece. The saturation on the grass is a little intense though.

Nice style, but I'd suggest making the grey colors into a dark blue- contrasting colors and all that, and will help them recede. Just something to try.

Mmm. Nice colors, and the forms work really well on the trees, but i feel like the waves against the cliff should be more angular, even within the confines of the seemingly circular style you've chosen.

A personification... of a flat? Man, fandoms are weird

could be lighter on the color count, but other than that it's pretty cute. for a flat.

This 'next level new school' technique sounds interesting, can you expand on it?

Very effective use of clusters.

The forums are a better place to post WIPs- there are members looking to give useful critique and it's a very good environment in which you can improve. The gallery is more for finished work for which you're looking for minimal criticism.

It's finally starting to look like a game! Those clumps of tall grass are perfect, I really get the urge to chop them up.

Looks like something out of Yoshi's Island.

That subtle animation is brilliant. Looks like subpixel animation, despite not using any antialiasing.

Is this... love???

This is G.o.D.ly!

Sinister, I like it. What's with the lack of shadows for the tentacles, though?

Most deceptive preview 2014.

Amazing piece.

Excellent mood.

You wouldn't happen to be trying to pull a cure on us, would you?

Tasty. The colors and style remind me of some of Pixel's works.

The antialiasing + understated colors on this work beautifully. Great style.

Congratulations on 1st! Well deserved for such a stunning piece.

Hehe, I saw this and thought "Hey, this kinda reminds me of that one piece I did..." and then read the description. Nice composition, and accurate depiction of depression from what I've heard.
