I am not too keen on the spaceship myself as you mentioned but I am sure if it was more curved it would be fitting to the scene. It just appears to blocky and unusually layered. Having said that, I really like the sillouttes and the mountain.

Joe/Wrath Designs (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 5/3/2013 21:22

Nice mood.

new-age-reject (Level 1 Depressed) @ 12/25/2007 18:43

Wow this is amazing!
With the limited palette, you pulled off the shading amazingly!

Big thanks to all your cool comments
@Mathias : No I didnt use a blend mode for the vertical light beam, at the beginning I've wanted but the 16 colors mode of Paintshop doesn't allow me to use layer so I've made the light part first and finished by the shadow of the beam pixel by pixel hopping to doesn't make any mistake.

Really like this thUg. You;'ve got a lot of atmosphere and detail from such a small amount of pixels.

Fool (Level 6 SWAT) @ 3/26/2007 21:24

Great scene=) Really atmospheric - just great.=)

Xion Night (Level 1 Thug) @ 3/26/2007 15:42

Nice. I like the way the ship looks like it's got a city on it. Strange, my favorite part is the tractor beam thing...it's all awesome though.

exocet (Level 6 Major) @ 3/26/2007 05:02

You've done a great job to render the mood of the scene, you can almost feel you're there! Probably because of those nice cool colours and the point of view you chose. The design of the spaceship is quite original even if I find it a tad bit messy. I like all the small lights though :)

rajkosk8 (Level 5 Detective) @ 3/25/2007 19:21

very nice moment....or not....depends on a big beam hehe
those lights on ship are magnificent. it feels great.i dunno
about color of a background it feels like a daylight.

Lawrence (Level 10 Operative) @ 3/25/2007 07:08

I'm rather impressed by the original ship design and the palette really does look marvelous on it. I also like the rugged dithering on the sky in the background; it's as if the ship's anti-gravity engine is distorting the air around it, refracting the light.

kakikukeko (Level 5 Detective) @ 3/24/2007 18:55

Wow I missed this one!

no crits, I love the mood of this, and the design is very original! Even the beam is interesting..

You got my vote!!.. (if I can find how to do this..

)

MashPotato (Level 7 Underboss) @ 3/24/2007 09:22

I like the sense of the moment you have captured here. Great job

jangheejoon (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 3/23/2007 20:04

This is excellent work. I think the white/blue/red colors just blend well together with the scenery.

khorin (Level 3 Enforcer) @ 3/23/2007 16:49

Beautiful! I trully love the color choices and the mountain.

smartmex91 (Level 1 Private) @ 3/23/2007 13:38

Awesome work, Thug, like always. Shading and the spaceship are well done.

JerryPie (Level 11 Godfather) @ 3/23/2007 09:28

Wow you did a wonderful job on this.. 6/6

klav (Level 7 Mass Murderer) @ 3/23/2007 04:11

nice job, i cant figure out what i like more, the mountains or the people.

iLKke (Level 9 Nidan) @ 3/23/2007 03:23

wow

inkspot (Level 4 Button Man) @ 3/23/2007 03:13

Ooo, nice. But I don't quite get it how you can fit those 15 colours in there.

Mirre (Level 8 Marshal) @ 3/23/2007 02:46

OMG. I love the colours for this. You've created a really nice mood with the characters in shade like that. You also have a very unique design for the spaceship. I like.

Varock Shade (Level 7 Underboss) @ 3/23/2007 00:43

i love it! i think the ship does look good imo, the colours and linework look great!

Mathias (Level 6 Yonkyu) @ 3/23/2007

Well, the ship is certainly different, and I agree it could look a little more like a far out type of aircraft. The people rule! I don't see how you guys AA so well, it must take a lot of practice.

Did you use a blend mode for the vertical light beam?

iSTVAN (Level 8 Cannibal) @ 3/22/2007 21:06

I quite like the ship because it is different. Great colour and shading. I'm sure I've seen that mountain on a postcard or something.

AwesomePossum (Level 1 Thug) @ 3/22/2007 20:45

I love the mountains and how you made the people. Bu I agree with you on how the ship is odd. It kinda looks like a mini city to me.
