wow, that's some impressive dithering

not too certain about the greenish tint of the light/flames on the other hand (may be the monitor though)

wow, I'd love to work on an adventure game with you some time.

*speechless*

Nice scene, especially the atmosphere it conveys.

Extraordinary!!

1 word: amazinglyawesomecoolness.

exelent love the mood it radiates

Excellent atmosphere!

Totally magnificent!

As to the flatness, I imagine as a background it's perfect.  You wouldn't want the background competing wiht the foreground elements anyway.  This is an unbelievable piece.

very nice :)fantastic

Great!
Only thing I don't like is that two big trees have their tops coloured differently. I understand they are supposed to fog away, but I think you could have made the transition less abrupt between those brownish and greenish colors.

FAVd!

darkshire ^^°!

Reminds me of Monkey Island 2 which i think is a good thing :)

A superb peice 5/5
looks great

thats all I can say.

I don't deny anything :D No, seriously I know about the flatness, was still gonna make them (the one tree in particular) more rounder, but I am just too lazy to add another pixel to this and its already three months old. Weeeh.

stickman: Yes, a pointy clicky adventure about barbarians.

Thanks for the comments :D

fantastic work!

Oi! I never said it was a bad thing... just pointing it out. :P

Great work! The pencily sketchy feel of the trees suit the scene perfectly. Is this for a point and click adventure?

This is just AMAZING !!! Great anim and details ! There's life in there ! Great work ! Fav and 5/5.

Are you kidding me. This is epic. *Jawdrop*

This has skill all over it...

Wonderful work indeed!!!

I find the flatness the unique aspect for this scene. I see lots of 1930s-1940s Disney quality in this unique approach to the flatness. I think Lar needs to look at it again from another angle : /

This is amazing! there is a certain quality to it that makes it special, it's hard to describe, it has a hand-drawn look to it, kind of like the backgrounds for Monkey Island 2 (Which really was hand drawn.) Excellent work.

wow! scene of the year in my books! With Larwick mentioning that the trees "seem a bit flat" - I think it helps give a bit of cartoonish realism to this scene, which is what I think you were going for. It's too bad you can't use this for your game.

Those animations are fantastic. Brilliant scene. Some of your trees seem a little flat to me. But lovely work.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone :)

varock_shade (and others who mentioned this): I agree, I still had to do that (but room will no longer be used), I did have it so initially, but I hadn't come round to it once I upgraded the fire animation, as some would know who saw the thread.

tomic: the feeling is mutual :D

inkspot: yeah, I had a hard time at the river and since I wasn't going to use it anymore my meeting with the river animation would have to wait for another day. I did have a few go's, but failing ones :). There are a lot of things that isn't correct for the game, and design wise too I messed up a little not for what I had in mind initially, happens when I don't do enough design sketches.

josiah: The river is left blankish since I haven't done the animation haha :(

Thanks again all!

Wow, this is superb. A still image would have been excellent, but those animated torch flames make it fantastic. Faved!

Beautiful. Needs some light flicker on the trees near the torches though. As is the torches don't look like part of the scene.

I remember when I made this.

The fire's awesome.

Haha, poor buloght couldn't manage the flowoing river :D

Breathtaking. 

@ _ @ Damnit... this must be one of the best pixelart pieces I've seen this YEAR. Love the subtle motion in the animation of the torches. Makes the picture really come alive in a mysterious way (:

Holy crap o_O That's awesome. The fire stands out especially. Very, very awesome.

I'm too old to be treated this way...I nearly had a stroke.


*downloaded as my new desktop picture :D

Hey, where's a river gone? =o
Awesome work, well, you know that.=)

that looks VERY amazing!!!

hey, since you've animated the flames, why not push it a lil forward and animate some wind on the grass as well and some night creature, like an owl, or a bat, or some small rodents on a tree..?

Ah, whats wrong with it then? I remember it being in AGS forums. Nice work!

Good god you are so talented. You also must have an incredibly amount of patience to make something this beautiful and, when not satisfied, be prepared to redo it from scratch. By far my favourite piece from you, great job!

No real surprises here, awesomeness as always.

It's amazing how much the flame animation brings it to life!

Oh, fuck, you make me crying.
I think I should kill myself now...
this is one of the best pixel art EVER!!!

So awesome, such a creepy feel.  Fav.

The fog looks so... Real! O_O

5/5 and fav'd.

Crazyness!
