Secret santa gift at Pixelation for Toby. Thought I'd submit this as my last online picture of 2006.

Haven't played any of the games, so I had to rely on what little reference I could find. Had to use a somwhat jaggy laptop mouse, so the rocky texture worked to my advatige I guess. The picture ended up on Joystiq after being on Digg, so you might have seen it there already. No matter though. Here it is again :P It's msPaint by the way.

Happy New Year everybody!

this is gorgeous! it must have been painstaking work on MSPaint! XD trust me i know, i've done stuff on there too. ^^

i love love love how well you captured the textures and how the shadows bend because of the curved surface and the chipped gears, and...

well, i could go on. ^^ again, very lovely work.


user

I'm pretty sure this is not a rip. Snake is an extremely great artist, and doesn't often forget to show WIP steps and so, as you can see in his other works.

I don't have any reason to believe this is a rip.

This Alberto guy uploaded this image in 2008, it was submitted here in 2006. Not to mention, it has worse quality. You can see specks if you closely examine the smooth-ball part of katamari. Alberto also doesn't seem to do too much pixel art, this would be a step out into what may be a new medium.

If it was stolen, it wouldn't be the first time, a quick google search would show that.

But who knows, and, who's to say that Snake isn't Alberto as well. (Going by the folder name, btw.)

But whoever made it sure made something excellent.

Is that his? Otherwise, it's a rip.. which = R.I.P.

user
Wu! (Level 1 Seaman) @ 5/3/2009 12:59

awesome idea!
The texture of the collossus' are is so impressive, the stones as well.
Wow and all that three dimensionality...

incredible


user
Snake (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 4/30/2009 04:43

The picture was made the way it was because my PC broke down at the time. As for using msPaint, I just enjoy using it despite having access to Photoshop CS3 and whatnot. It works for me. I've never insiunated that anyone should be impressed by this picture and quite frankly, I'm surprised how people read so much into what I basically made as a christmas gift, but if it inspires people to create more art, then I'm certainly happy about that.

 

For now though, I'm busy making something better.

There are several programs which can vectorise. There was an online app which was pretty good at it. Forgot it's name. Just google for vecorisation tool or something.


user
B_j0k3r0 (Level 3 Sergeant) @ 2/24/2009 17:44

How to vectorise it like that, is there some kind of effect, there must be.. Photoshop?


user
kwigbo (Level 4 Shichikyu) @ 2/19/2009 08:32
The clouds are my favorite part of this piece.

Whoa!!! love the fur detail...that's quality mate!!!

user
ptoing (Level 7 Cuttlefish) @ 2/15/2009 07:14
Hysteria: That image you linked to is a vectorsised version of Snakes original pixel version. I think that is the one which eventually found it's place onto Digg.

user
Hysteria (Level 2 Kukyu) @ 2/12/2009 11:15
Its great, but I also ask myself if its traced

Love this piece (love Katamari and Shadow, too)!  I can't believe you haven't played either of the games.  You've really captured them both!  After you play them, maybe you'll be inspired to add the glowing blue weak spots on the Colossus monsters. 

user
slasher (Level 1 Rookie) @ 2/4/2009 05:25
Really nice to see how the clouds whirled. Amazing details. Great work! :)
