thanks ya'll 

He'd certainly be a comfy cuddle 

fixed,  I don't even understand how that's possible when using Indexed color mode explicitly.

Edit: found out why, GIMP 2.99/3.0dev has issues when having layers with no alpha channel, it can screw up indexes and even use colors out of indexed palette including old variants of colors. really weird  saving and reloading the project file seems to fix it? but yeah it exports the errors if they are present 

oh yeah i should have just put that tbh 

thanks for the concession, yeah I wouldn't have decided on it if it was for an individual weekly challenge, and ofc each comp'd piece is strictly 64x64. Figured the pros of less clutter in the voting and in my gallery were enough to justify it for this particular challenge.  

danke  

love it  great work! a buffet
and some real mesmerizing loops and great glitch effects too 

@Weerdmeester glad it paid off, haha glad it works, I saw some dwarf drawings the arms had muscles on the muscles, not very anatomical but looks so rad, so kinda channeled that energy a lil, bulgin' n ripplin' 

@Umbohr haha 

@MoreOfAGoofus glad  oh yeah I can see that haha accidentally more appropriate than I anticipated 

@MiERDINSKY thanks 

@FancyPudding haha yeah there is some anatomical indication of that...  cheers 

haha yeah can easily imagine them slapping around cartoonishly as they waddle :D

haha glad it's not just me. 

hmm it does seem vaguely familiar, oh yeah definitely, think I will look up more, I love what I have seen in japanese media on occasion! :D

(also how the heck do you use those pj emotes here? O: oh i can copy paste them from your comment lol )

oh wow that's cool just looked it up  I had only seen something like that in the SegaSaturn/PS1 game Baroque, one of the NPCs is like that. hehe icky  I kind of find him cute somehow lol

@Trigonomicon ayy glad you liked it  yeah do feel it evokes a classic vibe, it's funny how this one came about, after importing the original pfp I saw the palette displaying wrong in the layer preview, and it looked really striking and cool so I just screencapped that and copied how it was remapped and ran with it.  actually i still have that screenshot here: imgur.com/8PPocp9

@Tipleloop ahh yeah I was actually going to animate it, at least in the preview but ran out of time. 

I'm In!

Likes: anything eldritch and or surreal and or dark fantasy and or anything grimdark or grotesque. alternatively or in combination industrial punk stuff. or if it's too far out of your comfort zone; I don't mind idylic nature oriented stuff too (bonus if combined with one or multiple of the above in some way).

Dislike: anything too political, relating to real modern warfare, non-fictional violence, overly sexualized content (fine with nsfw as long as it's tasteful), anything too mundane.

thanks. 

I was a bit concerned I made a mistake and made it worse by adding the rim lighting but glad it's still worthy of being considered gorgeous. 

@EdnodiusGreenius perhaps they asked it if they were going to still exist within the year and the answer was "unlikely" would probably have a similar effect. 

thanks ya'll 
 @rogue_frog haha yeah me too the lips were probably the most enjoyable aspect to do 

this is awesome, great rendering of the light hitting him, and the subtle blood soaked appendages is chillingly effective, great work 

lol black fireworks

not bad  

  thanks for the comments and positive feedback guys :D 
 

Jimi was an awesome ecclectic and eccentric individual for sure <3

@damicon yeah might get around to adjusting that, I settled on a dark band because I recall the other choices seemed to clash with surrounding colours.

looking better ^ ^ nice additional changes too, and creepy new laughing preview :P

quite menacing, amongst the best 1bit stuff I've seen, I think his shoulder to bicep transition looks quite awkward, the rear hand lacks volume and the before mentioned foot perspective issue and flatness.there is also some funky stuff going on with the pants his left leg in particular, I think mostly just the lighting, but that's not major enough to worry much about, good work.

half res 5 colours same amount of detail : i.imgur.com/Ymi2i.png

~also his neck on the left (his right) is protruding an unnatural ammount too, whole piece has a halloween* vibe to it (*the distrurbing carpenter slasher flick/s)

thanks guys, I rather like how it turned out too 

@adcrusher524 yeah I see it too now you mention it, I think it's because the impression of that kinda helmet/headgear is  implied  in the hoods shading ^ ^

doesn't scream ninja, but it's some really nice pixeling, great palette and mood

I did them all saturday evening and sunday morning, but yeah I did ^ ^ 

@pandora's Secret: thanks =)

@PixelPiledriver thanks man appreciate you saying so :D ,  and you're entry is quite awesome too~
