Oh wow.. EPIC. How can one create such a masterpiece with only 4 colors?

mooseonwhiskey (Level 1 Rookie) @ 7/11/2010 01:38

The Spartan looks amazing with the fire sword and helmat but the best part is the coloursmixing into new colours creating a majestic and truly epic feel

great work

Ixolite (Level 2 Petty Officer) @ 6/27/2010 10:40

Amazing

Couldn't believe its only 4 colours at first, simply superb!

keron11 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 6/18/2010 16:40

Anarkhya (Level 1 Rookie) @ 6/11/2010 05:40

Actually, I think this piece is a museum in itself ;)

Siege Heart (Level 1 Gangster) @ 5/23/2010 10:37

The anatomy is just simply amazing and the fact that this is all done with 4 colors just leaves my jaw dropped 2 inches above the ground!

Tronlet (Level 2 Quiet One) @ 3/20/2010 02:01

Oh holy Christ.

Spikrodd (Level 1 Rookie) @ 2/25/2010 07:30

Incredible piece. Perfect anatomical proportions and use of RGB color additive theory.

Buddy90 (Level 6 Manager) @ 12/16/2009 21:59

this should be in a museum.

old_flick (Level 3 Private Eye) @ 11/29/2009 18:10

This is probably the only piece of pixel art that I feel the need to come look at every once in a while simply because I still can't believe it. My favorite piece.

Kurisumasen (Level 1 Rookie) @ 11/25/2009 13:34

This one is totally amazing!

3 colours and black? I can hardly believe it, but iy's right before my eyes. This is an amazing pieace of art. You have my respect.

slym (Level 8 Cannelé) @ 11/21/2009 22:15

Now that's what I call perfect use of colors!

Sandman (Level 1 Intern) @ 11/12/2009 13:15

colours blow my eyes! superb

Isolurve (Level 1 Rookie) @ 10/21/2009 08:24

*admires brilliance*

TekilaMoicano (Level 1 Rookie) @ 10/16/2009 11:38

Very Good !

Congratulations !

Qube Commander (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 10/5/2009 13:50

i can't believe how awesome this is!!

Antifarea (Level 4 Ensign) @ 7/30/2009 18:37

I don't understand much the ideology here to be honest... but the anatomy is perfect. I remember you helped me out in wayofthepixel with some pointers about anatomy. Good job.

Little Rocky (Level 1 Rookie) @ 7/3/2009 23:17

Man! I wish I could Pixelize like you Pixelize...

jok (Level 11 Master Assassin) @ 6/10/2009 02:14

perfect

Helm (Level 5 Detective) @ 5/30/2009 07:53

Yes, nice eyes. I agree that could have been smoothed out, and a few other places too.

arkan-ark (Level 1 Rookie) @ 5/30/2009 06:35

Anatomy is perfectly done!

Only problem I have agaisnt this piece is that his left thigh isnt totally smooth:

View Full Size Image It kind of goes sharp...

Anyway nice job ;)

Pumpkinbot (Level 2 Peon) @ 5/20/2009 17:16

Three colors? D: That's amazing! I couldn't do that with ANY amount of colors. X) 5/5, `

raeli (Level 1 Intern) @ 5/20/2009 14:31

this is incredible work.
seriously... 5/5 seems like an unfair rating! 398475239476/5 is more like it.

Pixelated (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 5/8/2009 03:49

You used 4 colors?!?!? ....amazing

vinsin (Level 1 Rookie) @ 5/6/2009 16:43

looks like inferred (SP?) view

Dax Gox (Level 1 Rookie) @ 4/16/2009 12:18

This guy know how to draw ! Amazing, Great !

porkbun (Level 1 Private) @ 4/11/2009 16:34

Whoa. I am absolutely LOVING the eye-blinding colors!

AsimosVagan (Level 1 Depressed) @ 3/17/2009 07:52

This palette should be frozen in time and named after you. Congrats!

Quake (Level 2 Hired Gun) @ 3/15/2009 05:54

Nice use of colours, brilliant as always

bricl (Level 1 Depressed) @ 3/14/2009 21:26

bravo! this must be the remix of dash punk meets spartans. a+

JosephSeraph (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 3/7/2009 06:38

i hate this palette. That is why i liked so much this pixel at ^^ a wonderful usage of 4 colours!

AND YOU DON´T EVEN HAVE YELLOW!

8-bit (Level 1 Rookie) @ 2/14/2009 14:38

He's naked because Spartans actually went into battle naked. They were so strong and well trained they didn't need armour. And as for you my friend, if your skill was a soldier, it would beat the best spartan hands down.
Absolutely fantasic

FishBoy (Level 1 Private) @ 1/20/2009 05:14

4 colors, this is amazing. prolly one of the best in pixel joint history.

Laughing Dove (Level 1 Rookie) @ 1/7/2009 01:59

I'm sorry for nothing more productive, but kick-ASS. ._.

volcom (Level 1 Depressed) @ 12/24/2008 11:59

This is pro pixeling, 4 prime colors like this detailed is amazing

Helm (Level 5 Detective) @ 12/21/2008 07:15

No, please don't.

Oren_shtiv (Level 3 Private Eye) @ 12/14/2008 09:19

ThIs Is S-P-A-R-T-A!

G4v1n (Level 1 Rookie) @ 12/10/2008 14:14

very good use of colour

jinz91 (Level 2 Dealer) @ 11/28/2008 18:04

Holy CRAP that is AWESOME o_O

vayde (Level 1 Private) @ 11/24/2008 05:04

This is the most awesome thing I've ever seen!

Cloveck (Level 2 Hired Gun) @ 11/20/2008 20:01

I really like this, especially the way the palette is used. It's difficult to count all of the colors, as the way they are blended so well makes it hard to tell (for example, cyan and purple aren't on there, but it looks like it). All around really great piece.

ismfof_rulz (Level 1 Rookie) @ 9/28/2008 06:52

Wow, really nice. You used the colors really well. It looks like what would happen if you looked at a spartan with thermo goggles. Except the sword of course, but still truly amazing.

fawful (Level 6 Yonkyu) @ 9/19/2008 05:23

*coughcoverdgroundcough*But that is really cool.

Mohak (Level 1 Rookie) @ 9/1/2008 13:27

awesome really cool but now my eyes hurt

brambekker (Level 1 Private) @ 8/9/2008 03:44

AAA MY EYES THEY HURT nice =D

Aoyagi (Level 1 Rookie) @ 8/8/2008 09:40

bright colors+black background=genius!!

willroberts (Level 1 Rookie) @ 7/18/2008 05:26

wow. i mean...just wow.

DraKenZ (Level 1 Seaman) @ 7/13/2008 01:32

Wow! Nice use of colorings and black backgrounds!

Chaos Design (Level 3 Stalker) @ 6/15/2008 07:35

Nice colors looks cool.

Beans (Level 1 Gangster) @ 6/7/2008 17:54

Im still in awe. That is amazing, Im gonna try this sometime

RoboBOT (Level 7 Captain) @ 5/26/2008 11:11

That's amazing. I especially love the fiery sword. Well done!

QuaziGNRLnose (Level 1 Rookie) @ 5/14/2008 13:05

you shoulda put it as 3 colours because black is not a colour, anyways great use of RGB im wondering if theres a way to make something using HSL, which " yes this doesn't even make sense" :P

japez (Level 1 Depressed) @ 5/13/2008 00:23

Woah, wicked colours.

KwIjL (Level 5 Captain) @ 4/21/2008 05:22

great idea with the colours! Matrix

DarkSoul520 (Level 1 Private) @ 2/10/2008 17:16

REALLY love the color on this.

SillyJonna (Level 2 Kukyu) @ 2/3/2008 19:45

This is a magnificent work of art.

Badbrad51 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 2/1/2008 17:22

Dude this shit is awsome you probably got aproved on the get go. Hella tight

creepycastle (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 1/26/2008 14:43

darokin (Level 4 Team Leader) @ 1/25/2008 17:01

First time I see something like this in Pixel Art, first time I give a 6/6... Really surprising, stylish, brillantly done... Don't why I haven't noticie this one before...great job !

demes (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 1/20/2008 03:54

This was only made with 4 colours!? that is just simply amazing work.

Krazykatz1995 (Level 1 Gangster) @ 1/4/2008 07:56

I love the way that the colours all blend together. Amazingly detailed art using only 4 colours.

Fantastic!

DJ gman (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 1/2/2008 18:36

amazing.and only 4 colors. brilliant

funcravers (Level 2 Hired Gun) @ 12/30/2007 14:23

its... incredible.

I love thsi thing.

Skull Master (Level 1 Rookie) @ 12/25/2007 21:19

Fel (Level 4 Ensign) @ 12/20/2007 08:50

Amazing piece of art, the concept of it only being 4 colors that are otherwise thought to be totally incompatible with eachother is mind-blowing.

Shonoby (Level 1 Intern) @ 11/1/2007 20:46

I have always loved this pixel art, i think its about time i comment on it. First of i am not gonna say this is my faviorate pixel art because well too many people say that. Either way to me this is a prime showcase of what every tech use properly can accomplish. Since i had this pixel art as my background for about two months i always look at it wether it be drunk/high or both i always examined it. After all that i saw a couple things that well just off, the right leg is sort-of wrong with his hip and his left ass check is not popping out, like if he has no bone there. I am always drawing human position and posture and trying to figure out how to draw better more life like people/positions/postures/actions/animation etc. I wont say i know what i am talking about because i am not a pro i am not credited person or what ever. You can just say i am human simply put, you don't have to fix the legs because it still looks brilliant to me but i was just putting that out there. Still its just amazing how you combine these colors in such a way and with transparent( black ), thats quite some practice; only with a year of pixeling now thats even more amazing keep making stuff like this i can learn so much from it.

A.B. (Level 8 Cannibal) @ 10/27/2007 05:25

Random er great coloring!

The combinations of colors are pretty amazing!

Can't understand why he's naked, though.

Dr Dr0ol (Level 1 Rookie) @ 10/11/2007 19:49

random & cool!

Helm (Level 5 Detective) @ 8/8/2007 07:00

I think you should be asking yourself why is everybody else not naked with just a helmet on.

HeroMan (Level 3 Enforcer) @ 8/8/2007 03:04

I know this is kinda old, but I was just so impressed with the way that you used the colors that I completely forgot to ask myself why The Spartan was completely nude with just a helmet on. :o
