Added:
  • Aleiav (pulling snader away)
  • morganne (saving jalonso)
  • badassbill (should be obvious)
  • Leel (drinking the grease from the burger)
  • randomblink (ninja squirrel!)
  • blueberry_pie (inside the rustbug's pipe)
  • And a delightful new face-cleansing exfoliator for souly to land into.
I think I want to draw the line-art to a conclusion now and get working on the colouring. I haven't put myself in yet, I wasn't really thinking about that at all. I think perhaps I'll add myself as one of my neon characters in the colouring stage.

Very nice! I think perhaps morganne could do with some more obvious structure, although that could probably be shown in the colouring, i think they sorta just look like a blob atm. Great update though. :)

Well I've started colouring. I've worked on two version so far, one with my original lighting and one where the PJ sign is lit up as the strongest lightsource with extra little floor lights along the bottom. This latter version is much easier and looks better so I'm going with that.

I'm thinking that in order to make this look good I'll have to use a higher colour count than I usually do. I hope that doesn't effect people's view of it, but I just don't want to over-comprimise colours.

well most of the characters have an own colourscheme, so you're bound to end up with a bunch of colours

Another update before I go to bed:


There are certain things which really make me want to indulge in extra colours, for example I hate the dithering on snader's t-shirt, and the dithering on rustbug makes it look all roughly textured (I don't want to use "segment" shading or whatever you call it because I really want to go for a 'smooth' style), but I feel bad every time I introduce a new colour. Gah!

With blueberry pie, a lot of the detail would be sub-pixel. I'll try and fit more detail in there; I suppose as this progresses I'll have introduced more and more colours, so I'd probably be in a better position to do the subpixel detail there with the extra colours available for aa-ing with. This is why I usually prefer to keep aa as the last thing on a piece... except as you can see I have already aa'd certain parts of this; I just can't help myself, hah!

Also, I think I should thank Ensell for the image hosting, it's very convenient, thanks mate.

I'm tempted to claim it's not pixel art and that you're using some 3d-rendering software. I KNOW IT.
Know HOW I know it? Because it's too good to be true.

Looking good.  Might be a little late now, but thought I'd mention that the shape of the burger seems weird to me.  Looks sort of croissant-ish, if you know what I mean.  Sky looks nice, love the lighting on Blick as well.

the penguin's arm closest to the sign still needs working, dunno if you finished there or not though.

I wouldn't think the stars would reflect off the bullet as much as they do. And indeed, I would label this dithergasmic.
