A late birthday/early christmas present to MashPotato :) She's been a good friend to me and one of a few people I have contact with online. So I wanted to make something for her, finally I got time. I wanted to put some of her characters into an adventure game (because she likes adventure games), I call it Lost Song of the Alkanost. (main/player character is the young forest goddess (not yet in her final state here, and the faery here.) The goddess of the forest is on an adventure to find the lost song of the alkanost, which they need the save the forest (don't ask me how) from the humans who are trashing and cutting down the trees. In her quest she finds a faery that might help her, but the faery is lazy and stubborn and thinks she can fish for moths with her firefly, even though she isn't in the dark part of the forest. Unless the goddess wants to wait for night time (which might be too late), she needs to convince the faery to move. I have to thank Fool for his help on this, he gave me awesome C+C along the way. (font is superscript pixel font)

Very nice... I like

jok (Level 11 Master Assassin) @ 1/21/2017 03:05

very nice work - details, depth, colours

punpcklbw (Level 2 Petty Officer) @ 3/3/2016 18:00

Dreamy scenery... ^^

marpe (Level 1 Rookie) @ 9/27/2011 13:54

Love them pixels! Good work!

buloght (Level 6 Hitman) @ 12/2/2010 12:49

Thanks guys :)

Zeblid: I don't know, there are some people who own trees that I would like the see tutorials from, I can't quite get how they do it, I could mention many here that I have in mind now. Maybe in the future when I understand trees a little better I would consider this :) I'd love to see the different approaches to them actually, to achieving those insane textures some of the aforementioned people get right.

Zeblid (Level 1 Rookie) @ 11/30/2010 08:13

You -seriously- need to do some kind of tutorial or WIP of a tree. Your tree sprites(and all others actually) are absolutely astonishing.

T-Mind (Level 7 Ichikyu) @ 9/8/2010 10:49

Awesome trees... and the palette it's beautiful.

Afflict (Level 4 Lieutenant) @ 5/24/2009 17:53

Uitstekend :) bly om te sien jy pixel nog!

buloght (Level 6 Hitman) @ 1/28/2009 11:10

Thank you very much for your comments, guys :)

kakikukeko: I only played that last year for the first time, but I am especially mad about the wizard sitting right between the purple dragon (and the dragon itself).

kakikukeko (Level 5 Detective) @ 1/28/2009 07:00

magnificient,
It really reminds me Legend of Kyrandia, 15 years ago.. (At that time I had been blown away by the graphics..)
( to compare, your piece is much better of course..)
just beautiful!

iLKke (Level 9 Nidan) @ 1/24/2009 22:30

Masterful. More, please! :D

philipptr (Level 4 Team Leader) @ 1/17/2009 13:01

The work on the trees and grass is absolutly stunning. 5/5

ProgZmax (Level 1 Depressed) @ 1/16/2009 20:06

It's a shame I didn't see this earlier, because it's really quite good! I especially like how you pixelled the leaves. Quality work all around!

Mrmo Tarius (Level 10 Master Sniper) @ 1/16/2009 09:56

Reminds me of Simon the Sorcerer

Slemsvamp (Level 6 Serial Killer) @ 12/24/2008 08:20

This is top quality, absolutely amazing.

fucbillgates (Level 1 Depressed) @ 12/23/2008 09:17

Crazy mockup!!
Well.................................
Super pro!!

7even (Level 9 Nidan) @ 12/22/2008 04:38

I'd love to see that animated. Really. At least that bird flying 8D

Adarias (Level 11 Special Agent) @ 12/20/2008 09:13

Nicely done! love the atmosphere and it looks like a proper adventure game.

HORRIBLE font though - two-color scripts are just a no-no. My advice would be to either add a buffer shade(s) to make it more legible or change it to a print face.

buloght (Level 6 Hitman) @ 12/20/2008 05:02

Thanks :). I found some stray pixels, colors now 53, and 26 for bg.

neota (Level 8 Shodan) @ 12/19/2008 19:26

This is pretty well amazing, especially the texturing and sense of depth.
7/8

If you care to add the colorcount, it's 65.

elend (Level 3 Corporate Drone) @ 12/19/2008 02:09

Oh man. How I'd love this to be a real game. The background looks incredibly detailed and the character is great as well. Now combined with an intriguing storyline and I bet it'd be a great adventure game. Great work man.

Fool (Level 6 SWAT) @ 12/18/2008 19:44

Oh well, you know... it was worth of trying. =D

Josiah (Level 9 Federal Agent) @ 12/18/2008 17:47

Oh, I thought that was part of the flower, heheh...

buloght (Level 6 Hitman) @ 12/18/2008 16:40

Thanks for the cool comments everyone :)

josiah: the portrait is of the small dark-haired faery :D
big b: you are very kind. I am still waiting for a new game from you, something indie maybe ... hopefully!
fool: how dare you play on my guilt!
mash: * blushing

Josiah (Level 9 Federal Agent) @ 12/18/2008 11:51

I love this so much, great atmosphere once again!

But i've just noticed the portrait has a different hair color than the sprite standing.

big brother (Level 11 Admiral) @ 12/18/2008 11:29

Where is MY Christmas present? :)

See, you do one nice thing then everyone gets all demanding! Great work, by the way. It's gorgeous. You should make another game; I'd play it.

ManningKrull (Level 9 Executioner) @ 12/18/2008 10:12

Those are some of the best pixel trees I've ever seen. You've captured a nice calm, cool feeling in this forest.

Ergg (Level 6 Yonkyu) @ 12/18/2008 08:44

Awesome about the trees, the grass,th eriver, the background, the... everything in fact =).

Hishnak (Level 1 Rookie) @ 12/18/2008 08:06

This has a delicious atmosphere. The light green trees to the left create a great sense of space.

Jiang (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 12/18/2008 08:05

Very magnificent picture. A good atmosphere.

MashPotato (Level 7 Underboss) @ 12/18/2008 07:54

Taruto (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 12/18/2008 06:25

Wow, this is really beautiful. Excellent job!

Antiboton (Level 8 Cannibal) @ 12/18/2008 06:24

Whoa! Characters and BG are preety good.

Squirrelsquid (Level 4 Shichikyu) @ 12/18/2008 06:08

Which makes me wonder - i've been a friend, where is mine, ah?
