Character select portrait for a remake of an AlienBreed/Gauntlet-style WWII game. There were no identifiable characters in the original but I felt like doing some. Used similar shading technique I used on Feral Beast portrait. Fairly happy with it.

Like I mentioned about the second character, this is great work!

ECPixel (Level 8 Marshal) @ 1/24/2012 01:00

Outstanding! Style and colors!

Cilein (Level 5 Irish Elk) @ 1/16/2011 04:28

Looks like it was done on canvas, love the style so much

DanielHyaku (Level 4 Button Man) @ 9/14/2010 18:03

Wow. It has a great comics look to it. I absolutely love the texture. =)

Chace (Level 5 Captain) @ 11/27/2008 10:41

Awesome style. I absolutely love your color choice on this piece.

Gaby05 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 9/30/2008 13:57

Nice skin colors...I may steal your palette jeje

Carnivac (Level 8 Behemoth) @ 10/28/2007 15:11

So I chose to use many shades for these portraits... big deal.

found the actual 16 color version I did for a friends retro test thing

I far prefer the 32 color version. Has many more of the colors I wanted in the piece.

dakael (Level 5 Killer Klown) @ 10/28/2007 14:53

It has 32 colors, hmmmm... and it looks like no more than 16.

BadMrBox (Level 2 Quiet One) @ 4/8/2007 18:41

Very nice comic book style. Looks great :)

iLKke (Level 9 Nidan) @ 2/21/2007 06:09

Great and unusual dithering. Top notch!

Packrat (Level 7 General Manager) @ 1/10/2007 00:19

Cant help it - I envy your talent...

halotank (Level 2 Petty Officer) @ 8/20/2006 10:07

Dang dude, beautiful, top notch work.

space2 (Level 3 Private Eye) @ 8/17/2006 02:01

For what platform are you doing the remake? PC, Console or Mobile?

qrakis (Level 4 Murderer) @ 8/7/2006 12:42

Well, You have reasons to be fairly happy with it :-). Only scar looks somewhat strange.

Scruffs (Level 7 Assassin) @ 7/31/2006 14:58

god this has to be my favorite style i've seen. I can't stop lookin at this <3

iSTVAN (Level 8 Cannibal) @ 7/31/2006 04:08

For some reason his face reminds me a bit of Mel Gibson. Great work on the shading, this piece has a fantastic atmosphere about it.

ryumaru (Level 3 Private Eye) @ 7/30/2006 16:50

wow, this is awesome. i didnt even know you were still pixeling which makes this even awesomer! keep it up man.

Stitchy (Level 6 Yonkyu) @ 7/28/2006 11:18

Awesome detail on the face! WOW. I'm impressed, Wolvy! :D

Huggkruka (Level 1 Rookie) @ 7/28/2006 07:43

Though guy ey? Very nice portrait. The use of dithering, or what to call it, is subtle and smart.

joseph_ch (Level 3 Enforcer) @ 7/27/2006 18:32

wow, once again im amazed at your work. fantastic work wolverine, excellent job.

Carnivac (Level 8 Behemoth) @ 7/26/2006 14:46

Thanks everyone for the comments. Limenu - yes his nose is supposed to look sorta broken, he's been in plenty of severe close combat fights as well as using firearms. Eghost - Glad ya mentioned that, I like reading WWII comics like DC's Sgt Rock and Marvel's Nick Fury stuff. Space2 - Yup it is 'Into The Eagle's Nest'. Am basing it on the CPC version (which I've had for nearly 20 years), it's very similar to the C64 version. The Spectrum version is the most different with a totally different level layout which I will be doing as an additional castle much later on.

space2 (Level 3 Private Eye) @ 7/26/2006 13:49

Are you refering to the "Eagles' nest" game?
It was one of my favorite on C+4 ;-) Oh.... the good ol' days...

eghost (Level 6 Hitman) @ 7/26/2006 10:32

Awesome stuff as always! It has a great golden age comic book feel to it and the character immediately brings to mind Nick Fury...

buloght (Level 6 Centaur) @ 7/26/2006 08:06

Wow, that's brilliant. 5/5 fav.

M@lone (Level 1 Rookie) @ 7/26/2006 08:05

Sweetness! I like it, good job.

rabidbaboy (Level 4 Shichikyu) @ 7/26/2006 05:52

dither for stubble=win.
i like the new look.

Larwick (Level 8 Regional Boss) @ 7/25/2006 16:07

Fantastic work dude. The colours are really vibrant, and i really like the texture/dither you gave the clothes and his stubble/generally all over. No critisism from me. :D +fav

limenu (Level 4 Killer Klown) @ 7/25/2006 15:42

Someone Broked his nose (or how many times ;p). Hairs look nice, but meaby u should add more light in that black place. Anyway this artwork is just great and i like it :3.

REO THE FOX (Level 8 Shodan) @ 7/25/2006 13:50

Briliant This goes right in to my favs!

Shark (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 7/25/2006 12:45

W00t - wolverine is back. Awesome. Just Awesome. Can you show us the other ones?

Skull (Level 11 CEO) @ 7/25/2006 10:49

I love the style, I love the art. Looks very much like a 'cartoon' stlye drawing, and everything is in perfect proportion. 7/7

big brother (Level 11 Admiral) @ 7/25/2006 10:40

Love the cartoony look, yet all the gritty texturing. Seriously, let me know when this game is done. 7/7 + fave

Blueberry_pie (Level 7 General Manager) @ 7/25/2006 10:25

How I love these portraits of yours... top notch work as always. Particularly the hair and clothes.
