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!

It boggles my mind that you've captured such realistic shapes and lighting using such a limited palette. Truy an inspiration.

Bacteriophage (Level 5 Sniper) @ 2/8/2008 10:43

I'm floored. Seriously, this deserves the praise it got and more.

Godchild777 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 2/7/2008 13:53

Probrally know how he did it:

Made a model...
Screenshot it...
Opened pained and took a blank 240x240 blank image...
Looked at the picture and made a line art drawing of it...
Made a palet of 15 colours and start filling it in...
Removed the black lines...
And voila: You got a perfect picture(probrally took him 2 months)

Am I right?

Godchild777 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 2/7/2008 13:46

Abosolutly Speechless...

LegacyCrono (Level 1 Rookie) @ 2/6/2008 10:43

God bless you, you're such a skilled artist!

It's like... classical music, ice cream and double orgasm all together in one. Just amazing and... unexplainable.
I'm myself a Katamari fan, and you made an excelent job, specially if you haven't played Katamari.

Opacus (Level 7 Ichikyu) @ 11/7/2007 08:35

Why is it strange? And why does it remind you of a game that uses 256 colours? What exactly are you trying to say?

DevonR (Level 1 Intern) @ 11/6/2007 00:08

The sky reminds of games that used 256 colours. The rest of the image is quite strange...
