sounds like a good challenge I'll give it a shot! 

this is insane, and so amazing

there's really some amazing entries for this challenge. Great job to all who entered! very inspiring stuff! 

Fool.... you are a god... 

I was also watching your changes in the WIP thread on the forums, i love how it turned out man, great work. I personally LOVE the clouds, they add a ton of character to the overall design. great work!
 

this is freakin insane! great work, awesome color choices. absolutely mind boggling

 Thanks guys :)

 dude you are an amazing artist. every piece i look at is just mind boggling. Keep up the awesome work! 

 so awesome, and really cool watching your methods in the video. im madly impressed. you should definitely do more, we need ozzy and magus! :D

 i was wondering what was going on the last few times I checked the site. Extra traffic is never a bad thing, and i'm patient enough to allow loading time. 

 this is great! looks like it took a long time haha

great work 

 this is sweet! sort of reminds me of old Breath of Fire art in a way :D

 wow, really great job! maybe a bit more contrast between the knee in front and the arms in back, but either way this is incredible! 

 I Agree with Kalorian, maybe an outline would fix that flat feel to it, but im not sure. I do think that different colored gems might have stood out a bit more. Either way, looks cool and definitely looks alien :P

 interesting colors, and good job making it look translucent (kind of reminds me of a jello cube :P)

 i like this, i do think that it would benefit from having a darker green base for the computer chip looking pieces, for a bit more contrast there, but overall cool concept and design :D

 really good work, im impressed with the 3d effect and the animation looks great. good choice of colors as well. Keep up the good work :D (Also, I love your avatar :P)

 Thanks guys :) and yeah, the beating animation is pretty choppy, would have been nice to work a bit more on it but I knew i wouldnt have the time available before contest end, so I just went with it. I wanted to push myself to at least make a basic animation, as this is all a learning experience for me :P


Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it! this was a lot of fun :)
 

 awesome work on the animation! 

 this turned out awesome man, loved watching you work on it in the WIP thread. you're a badass man

 i love those colors!

 beautiful!

 wow this is awesome, looks like a watercolor painting!

 i love the detail and color selection. such good work man, 

 I cant deny, this is by far the most amazing animated pixel art I have ever seen. I love the style, the vibrant colors, and im surprised it's only 8 frames, that animation is so fluent and awesome. This piece is MASSIVE inspiration man, keep up the amazing work.

My only criticism is i wish the objects were animated a bit differently (Maybe morphing from one item to the other, so the movement was a little more fluent) but that doesnt even matter. I love this so much. Great Work man!
