Alien VS The Mummy (From the movie Alien and The Mummy....)
Mummies get their organs removed during the embalming. Handy if you happen to catch an alien chestburster. (Had to do a bit of research to find that name...)
I guess this serves as my introduction as well.
Go by Snake when I'm doing pixels. I've been hanging around Pixelation recently and some other forums in the past. Thought I'd join in on the fun. Nice meeting you all.
@ Sohashu: I use msPaint for everything that's pixels. I'm a creature of habit I guess.
@ Imagician: You are correct in a way. What the hieroglyphs actually say is "Snak". I couldn't find an E and the sites I came up with gave different answers (silly, I know). However, hyeroglyphs are spoken sounds, so the noises I chose should give the sound 'Snake' in english (as the e is silent) given that the site is correct. The last sign the sign for knowledge, because I knew what it said, and you didn't. Untill now that is...
I've been finding more credible sites recently, so I might change the signs.
Haha, i'm not even going to try now. Fantastic piece, great to have you as a member here, can't wait to see your gallery unfold. Good luck in the comp (not that you need it).
Sorry for the doublepost. Just started looking up the hieroglyphics in the Gardiner's Sign List. First letter is "S", second is "N", so I guess including the rest (that I was to tired to look up by now) is about to form your handle "snake" . What do I get as a price ?
Since It's been brought up. The colour count, not including the template, is 9 in total. Could have gone with 7, but I decided that the hues were too warm for the background.
I'm really surprised by all the feedback I've been getting in such a short ammount of time. Thank you for that.
I'll look into the light issues, I've been looking at this for too long I guess.
Hope more artists decide to join in. I really want to see what people here can do.

@eckered: With the exception of the filmstrip template itself, I only counted about 8 to possibly 10 colors with my eyes only...Definitely not greater than 31, guy. And even if the piece had 31 colors, the rules list 32 as bieng the max number of colors used. If anything, it wasn't "overdid" but moreover, "well conserved."....just a little fyi!....
amaising use of color, and great linework. the anatomy si great acept the hands are slightly huge. incredable job on the wrapping stuff, and the text is awasome. you also did a really god job on the detailing on the wall. although the one problem i think you have is taht there is a 31 color limit, which it looks like overdid.
I think ??? would better suit this situation and mummy's right shouldershouldn't be that bright (at least looking at the other parts it seems there's no light from that side).
Other than that it's just amazing.
A pleasure to see your stuff here. I wish you submit your works as I never saw them together.

Holy crap, that's awesome! My favourite entry so far.
Simply fantastic! A little bit grainy in some places, but then again that kind of fits. I really love the mummy's hand, but then again I love all of it...hmm. I guess theres no option but to fav!
I always enjoy beautiful monotone work. I would love to be able to do monotone but you have it nailed. The movement in this piece is excellent...And the mummy even has a slight look of surprise. Extremely well done. I am so glad I haven't entered this year lol XD
Very amazing and original jaja I loved the idea! but the aline cant be generated without organs ! D: ok never mind.. this is on my toplist of the pixelween contest saludos!
