This is really great, very good lighting with so little colors.

gujadot (Level 1 Rookie) @ 8/29/2015 06:12

It's nice but it is borderline a copy-paste of Natalie's work.

Thanx for the nice words on my Sloth, Gas! And congrats, your work is great, too. I'm always thrilled with your gallery! This Natalie art is amazing!

elend (Level 3 Corporate Drone) @ 7/17/2007 15:37

Wow, really great. Well pixelled and really nice idea. Imho one of your better (if not best) pixelartworks!

Gas 13 (Level 9 Boss) @ 7/17/2007 03:53

There's no transparency here! The only thing you could take for transparency is the BG. But they were not made with transparency as it adds new colors to the palette.

I'll say that again, I was selecting areas and changing colors.

The method is simple, probably you know what I mean, but I want to be as clear as possible: create a layer to be lightened, choose colors inside this layer, change them. That's it.

The fish was originally painted (2nd step in animation) and then pixelated over it. It is possible to doodle with pencil but I see no difference here since the painting was redrawn pixel by pixel.

iLKke (Level 9 Nidan) @ 7/17/2007 02:28

I see lots of transparency on this pic but I don't have a problem with that.
It IS possible to do things in a more direct manner but to me this piece qualifies as PA easily.

jamon (Level 10 Operative) @ 7/17/2007 01:47

I agree with the GAS13 ... i we want to LOOK then on PJ is lot of artist that are hiden behind they GLORY and do the "dirty work ..."

Gas 13 (Level 9 Boss) @ 7/16/2007 10:20

True. Pixel control is what pixelart is all about. And if I select area and use paint bucket for that area it is the same as if I was changing every pixel manually. There's nothing generated by a program, I just save my time doing it faster than pixel by pixel.

Thanks for sharing opinion on this matter, Skurwy.

Skurwy87 (Level 6 Made) @ 7/16/2007 09:07

imo, as far as you don't use automatic scripts/effects that aren't completely dependent on you (like auto aa, blurred brushes or, god bleshya!, lens flares), this can be called pixel-art.

it's only natural that you can use shortcuts like the filling tool (which isn't that different from selecting areas) and many others, because the work without them would be a damn boring thing -- imagine changing the area hue by recolouring every pixel.

ice9 (Level 1 Gangster) @ 7/16/2007 07:08

Great palette, I love the shading and the bits of aa are so good too. Just great! :)

Gas 13 (Level 9 Boss) @ 7/16/2007 05:15

Heh, half of PJ works are not pixelart in this case because most artists adjust colors in the end.

And it's not an effect really :)

Elk (Level 6 Saber-toothed Tiger) @ 7/16/2007 05:12

yes its kinda wrong :|

Stickman (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 7/16/2007 04:00

Brilliant work Gas. Great use of colours on the chain links for legs

momovampire (Level 1 Rookie) @ 7/16/2007 00:01

Close my eyes.... I see this one is going to win the contest!!

The fish really reminds me of the Starstruck demo by The Black Lotus...

exocet (Level 6 Major) @ 7/15/2007 15:17

Nice fishy with... things attached to it :)

Gas 13 (Level 9 Boss) @ 7/15/2007 12:56

What kind of effects? I was not using anything unnatural and I want to make it clear.

There's nothing wrong in selecting areas and changing color for that areas. At least for me. Do you find it wrong?

Elk (Level 6 Saber-toothed Tiger) @ 7/15/2007 08:41

well you used photoshop for this... the effects, that is

Gas 13 (Level 9 Boss) @ 7/15/2007 02:30

Explain yourself.

Elk (Level 6 Saber-toothed Tiger) @ 7/14/2007 15:47

idk but this isnt pixelart in my opinion

jamon (Level 10 Operative) @ 7/14/2007 03:20

@Gas13 Promotion is great software... when you use brighten darken mode... try to change in setings panel amount of % for that mode...

migoy (Level 1 Rookie) @ 7/13/2007 22:12

Great dude! good job on the lightings, love it

CircleOfTheDarkOnes (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 7/13/2007 21:34

Natalie would be proud.

Gas 13 (Level 9 Boss) @ 7/13/2007 14:15

Thanks for the nice comments. Appreciate them very much.

jamon, Photoshop 7, as always. I was trying to use Pro Motion's brighten mode being inspired by ilkke in the woods but it was choosing the wrong bright colors so I get back to Photoshop and was changing colors selecting areas :)

Zhou9 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 7/13/2007 12:40

WOW I would've never derived that from the picture. Beyond words.

Zero Power (Level 3 Corporate Drone) @ 7/13/2007 06:29

You got my voot.

rajkosk8 (Level 5 Detective) @ 7/13/2007 04:09

beautiful piece winner i dont have to look others ;)

Varock Shade (Level 7 Underboss) @ 7/13/2007 02:02

it looks like a fish with watermines on it...

kind of... Dangerous fish with strange head, but a very cool piece, and it could have been the idea behind the original drawing too

nice job!

jamon (Level 10 Operative) @ 7/13/2007 01:39

Nice looking work! Im' intrested what kind of software you used for this one...?

The B.O.B. (Level 11 Master Assassin) @ 7/11/2007 18:28

too beautiful...I never thought it would be possible, but it seems you've upped your level of artistic "awesomeness"...Great friggin' work, and fav'd, you darn rushkie....

MashPotato (Level 7 Underboss) @ 7/11/2007 18:21

Just fabulous

philipptr (Level 4 Team Leader) @ 7/11/2007 03:35

great work. somehow from the preview I wouldn't have expected it to be from you.. it isn't really your typical style I guess ;) anyways awesome texture and very nice colours! going to be one of the best entries :)

Fool (Level 6 SWAT) @ 7/11/2007 03:23

Excellent shot, man.=) Looks like Natalie's work is really a good source of inspiration after all.=D

Skurwy87 (Level 6 Made) @ 7/11/2007 02:31

Natalie the Fish or. . . The Inner Depths of Natalie's Consciousness. ;)

I like the feel of the image, it brings on interesting ideas and put the imagination to work -- never thought those few irregular lines would turn into something of this sort. Highly creative! 5/5/f! :D
