Wow, this is wicked. I love the mood conveyed in this picture.

to me it looks like a monster being teathered down with some sort of filament, awesome.

This is beautiful, and I can't believe it's only 13 colors. O.o

Reminds of Rayquaza from Pokemon.

WoW! just....wow

5/5 am new to pixeling, but i know the difference between a good piece and a amazing piece

I thought of the Pokemon Syther (i think it was) when i 1st seen this :P

Wow! This has some nice detail!

Hmm...makes me want to yell...COBRA!!

Great sence of light, like the mistery in it.=)

Good fucking god... I've only seen your avatar and that doesn't even begin to show your amazing skill.  Your art really inspires me, I'm going to try and learn a lot from you.  5/5 and my first fav ever!

Neat. 

Actually, after reading sausage's comment, I'd have to say it looks like a fish as well.

OMG. .. it looks like a mechanic sea reptile with tentacles... and wow it looks really amazing...

I have no clue what it is, but i love it.

It looks like a Big green Fish in polluted waters,    Anyone with me there?

I somehow missed this getting into the gallery, glad i caught it though.
It also gave me the first thought of badassbill's dragon peices.

Reminds me of Badassbills thunder dragon pieces. Love it. <3

Is it just me, or does that look like Trogdor?

Youre getting good, Lawrence, too good. Life can be dangerous for talented people ... just saying .. just saying.

Thank you Lawrence...

Ilkke is right, this started off with 8 shades of grey. Here's a wip image.

@Ensellitis if you talking to me ... read this ... "Maybe to share with us expirience"

I was nobody calling a ripper ...

On the end let's Lawrence just show us... i dont see a big deal... 

i like the picture to... i just want to know how hi did it... =)
 

I love this peice, but I am not sure about the little rays of light, are they really nesscecary? They are a little distracting, and confusing, at least to me.

lawrence has posted many of his WIPs in the forum.  from mockup to final stage.  i will stake my reputation on his reputation.  i recommend you go check out the forum to see some of those WIPs, and check out his gallery as well.  he is one of those rare members that have the complete understanding on light sources and is one of an even fewer that can actually get away with this much dither.

with the internet, you need to be sure you include a reason, since your typed letter hold no body language or tone we can use to judge what was behind what you were saying.  hell, if i had come in to see that, i too would have thought "why is he trying to call lawrence a ripper?"

I meant no diss to you. Online comments can be interpreted differently by the reader. I can totally see as you explain it being a sensible question to ask. Originally you did not elaborate and I mistakenly read it differently. When a member has earned some respect around here I must always defend them because with all the tricks people try to pull...ya know?
Many a member is under heavy scrutiny as some here have been succesful in showing how a trick can be pulled without most suspecting. Without absolute proof of course nothing can be done about it...fooling, or even trying is always temporary...always. This is proven time and time again. Thankfully, pixelart is a all about patience and precision and many here are willing to use patience to catch the true 'fools'.
That's a warning to all actually.

LOL I think it was greyscale in the beginning :D

If i want to see wip that doesnt means that i don't respect Lawrence... Maybe to share with us expirience ... etc...

Buy the way on my opinion i think that this picture was on begining trucolor image ... what you think Jalonso?

Public community, public thoughts:
Lawrence is a well established PJ member and far above any suspicions. His RESPECT has been hard earned and is well deserved.

can we see a WIP?

nice style =)          

good colouruse and a very nice composition, a few more colours wouldn't have hurt this piece thou ;)

I just love that so much is left for the viewer to make up in the mind. Bravo!

Superb! Looks amazing.

Very nice, stylish and dramatic!
Reminds me of... something... but in a good way. ;D

Makes me think of Jormungandr!
Very well done.

The composition has me drawn in.. I like how you incorporated a variety of dithering styles.
