Got inspired by two kids poking into something with a stick on the parking lot.=) As usual, a little rushed at the end, i'll probably fix all broken pixels later. Not quite happy with palette, but man, have I ever?!



Updated: Fix bg and girl pose mostly - hope for the better.=) Old version is available here.

I think this is your best piece to date, really nice coloring, and the overall concept is nice. I really wish I could provide useful criticism, but.. I can't currently. Anyways, 6/6 and fav'd

Great atmosphere, emotion, depth, and use of limited colours.  I'd have to say this is my favourite piece of yours, thus far!

The monster is really awesome.  I thought the girl's right arm looks amputated at first glance.

Hey, guys, thanks for the comments.=)
The B.O.B, it is wip-y, frankly speaking, thats always happened when not working on whole piece and always could say what it starts from and what was the last.=)

Arachne, that's seems to be the case. I know its busted, but I'll see if I'll get a chance to work it out. Thanks.=)

Nessiah, i haven't go forward two much, that story stills on the moment.=)

Mirage, yeah it is awkward a bit.

big brother, you're right, i've got that feel too, and if i get a chance to work on it a bit more i would rotate girl a bit  toward viewer as well.

Thanks so much for the WIP. Very helpfull

Love this piece! I would consider changing the kids' expressions. Right now they both look identically solemn.

You are indeed the superstar.

Mirage (Level 3 Corporate Drone) @ 7/27/2008 13:33
Absolutely love this piece.

The composition is the only thing that bothers me a little. Maybe it's the huge background at the top that offsets things a bit too much.

People were pointing out the girl's legs but i think they are just fine. It really brings out the thought that she's a little bit anxious and ready to charm her way out of a fight when the big monster wakes up after being poked too much :)

I saw this on DA, and was like "WTF i never saw dis on PJ, it so awesome!?!!!11"

This totally rocks. As always. By the way , you're my number 1 inspiration at the moment.

Man, if you made a story book full of these awesome pixel art pieces, I'd buy it.

Something I really like about a lot of your work is that you manage to tell a story with the images, and it reminds me of those old drawings I'd see in my books when I was a little kid. :) Your characters in your work always have some trace of thier personality in it, and I see that skill as something that's a lot more impressive than your awesome pixeling skills.

Anyhow, I'm not finding a lot of flaws here, but I'd say from a design stand point, it makes sense to add some hair to the inside of his ears, since the rest of his body is so hairy.

Holly mother of crap! This is so far past awesome - I dare not even estimate just how great this piece is. But I guess it is to be expected from you man: ) Amazing, simply amazing.

Fool, will you ever create something unpleasing to the eye? Good job again.

user
Nessiah (Level 4 Gas Giant) @ 7/26/2008 16:55
Pretty <3
as I said in Deviantart XD
I bet the monster is angry on who was poking him while he's asleep and one eye opened and after it saw the too it began chasing them causing the two to lose their hometown and became warrior and white mage to get revenge against said monster.

:D other than the girls crazy legs and the distractingly simple bg, this is amazing.

Fav +1; 55 to go.

hotnikkelz (Level 1 Rookie) @ 7/26/2008 09:10
awesome.  The monster is expertly pixeled.  More please more more more

user
Arachne (Level 4 Murderer) @ 7/26/2008 07:57
I love the concept and how colorful the palette is while still limited, but the composition is awkward with the main focus being empty sky. If you make that part darker than the rest instead of brighter, it would make the creature and the kids more visible.

Gotta love kid's lack of common sense!  Were I to see this thing laying on the ground I'd avoid it like the plague!

I like how the colors of the background blend well with the creature's colors.  Suggests that the creature would cammoflage well when roaming the forest.

There are some rough pixels, but since you referenced them in your description I'll leave 'em alone!

Good stuff.

This is really quite nice and would make an excellent picture for a children's book.

"The Boy Who Poked Too Many Things"

Followed by his apprehensive, but equally curious, sister, Betsy; Billy cautiously approached the slumbering beast. The overwhelming stench let him know that he was close enough, and Billy crouched into an efficient poking position. With his trusty poking stick in hand, Billy went for the gold!

*poke poke*

Success! Upon discerning that it was indeed real, rough and scaly- Billy turned back to Betsy.

"I think our work here is done." he proudly proclaimed.

And with that the two began their long journey back home.

-Fin

The silhouette of the palm tree that is above and between the two kids looks inorganic. The leaves are all straight-forwardly angled and the two on the right form this straight vertical line together. I believe that could use some work.

I also feel that there's something slightly off with the perspective, depth, and shaping of the eye and mouth of the creature.

The B.O.B. (Level 11 Master Assassin) @ 7/26/2008 07:02
Very detailed. I like the contrast of innocent versus gruesome, without the need for tits and ass. I think the palette is fine, just some things seem a bit rushed in certain places(the girl's right leg(our left), and the wip-ish trees in the background). Far better than I could ever pull off, though, I will say that. Wonderful job. I predict this one to get about 65 fav's....*throws $50 at local booker*

What to say ... as always nice, but that idea with children is very fun ... now when creature is with open eyes don't know what will happen with children hehehe

I like how you show with 4-5 colours in back plan and with 4-5 in front plan the deep of the greens in all your works :)

my favourite parts are eyes of the girl and pose of the boy with his clothes.
