Finally this thing is done! I started it sometime earlyish 2006 and then did not work on it for ages, then picked it up again in November 2007 and then again a long pause until a few days ago where I managed to finish it up to where it is now. Overall the hours spent should still be in double digits \o/ Might edit it a bit more, but I wanted to get it on here, it's basically done anyway. PS: Follow the yellow brick arrow.

So awesome!

RoboBOT (Level 7 Captain) @ 2/12/2009 19:57

Awesome piece. I love the colors and the style.
What I'm not seeing is the significance of the negative space. Or what the yellow brick arrow refers too. Can someone explain? I'm feeling a bit slow today.

SUPAFLOW (Level 3 Stalker) @ 2/12/2009 16:54

My new wallpaer!

Qbi (Level 1 Rookie) @ 2/12/2009 14:38

I never comented your work - it's all great - but for this... Man it's one of the coolest work I've ever seen! I love those small cars and people! Number 1 fav! My girlfriend says it's sweet :D

leel (Level 5 Killer Klown) @ 2/12/2009 14:23

That is the most misleading preview I've ever seen. I think I might like the surprise even more than I do the pixel itself (which is beautiful as everyone else already said) :p

Balamoot (Level 10 Maniac) @ 2/12/2009 14:22

Great work is done! Lovely! )

chess (Level 8 Shodan) @ 2/12/2009 13:37

Chace (Level 5 Captain) @ 2/12/2009 13:29

Wow, awesome use of colors and texture.

Zweckform (Level 1 Intern) @ 2/12/2009 12:56

Nothing to add. All has been said before. Great piece.

exocet (Level 6 Major) @ 2/12/2009 12:28

Great picture! Lovely colours!

Opacus (Level 7 Ichikyu) @ 2/12/2009 11:22

Awesomely awesome.

MashPotato (Level 7 Underboss) @ 2/12/2009 11:20

Hehe, a bit of aww and lot of awesome

Quake (Level 2 Hired Gun) @ 2/12/2009 10:53

I love this :}
All i need to say.

Fuzzyleaves (Level 5 Detective) @ 2/12/2009 10:44

AMAZING!!! but the reflection on his right left looks to much like the sky and looks like a hole.

big brother (Level 11 Admiral) @ 2/12/2009 10:23

I forgot to add -- I also like how the sliver of negative space between the foot on the left and the buildings creates a lot of tension. It's clearly the moment right before destruction ensues.

GTK (Level 5 Killer Klown) @ 2/12/2009 10:19

Oh whao !
This great !

philipptr (Level 4 Team Leader) @ 2/12/2009 10:03

You always come up with new ideas of awesome.

Metaru (Level 8 Brigadier General) @ 2/12/2009 10:03

cure (Level 11 Pixellite) @ 2/12/2009 09:48

Weekly top already? All that whining for nothing.

Reo (Level 11 Sphinx) @ 2/12/2009 09:38

Happy go lucky!

Hitsuro (Level 1 Intern) @ 2/12/2009 09:29

DUDE! GREAT WORK! LIKE IT! ADDED TO FAVORITES!

Fenne (Level 3 Stalker) @ 2/12/2009 09:26

That's pretty damn hot! Love the colors.

ProgZmax (Level 1 Depressed) @ 2/12/2009 09:16

I KNEW I recognized this from irc! I'm glad you finally finished it, old boy.

It's brilliant.

Darth Mandarb (Level 10 Operative) @ 2/12/2009 08:46

Excellent work my friend!! I love that dithering.

This is, by far, my favorite from you so far.

Kudos.

big brother (Level 11 Admiral) @ 2/12/2009 08:08

I like the way the angular lines of the robot contrast with the organic shapes of the smoke. Good work!

hotnikkelz (Level 1 Rookie) @ 2/12/2009 07:25

excellent work. +fav

Antiboton (Level 8 Odds and Ends) @ 2/12/2009 06:22

G R E A T !

Nice details like the foreground (black trash in the front). Airplane and cares are amazing. Lovely preview too.

fawful (Level 6 Yonkyu) @ 2/12/2009 05:53

Ah,that is just epic!I love it's happy expression as he destroys everything.

6/6!

And fav,brilliant.

Hapiel (Level 11 Bonsai) @ 2/12/2009 03:59

Hello new desktop walpaper!

ptoing (Level 7 Cuttlefish) @ 2/12/2009 03:29

The negative space was some real work :o

iLKke (Level 9 Nidan) @ 2/12/2009 03:23

It's giant robot month!
And apparently last night was finish-your-long-overdue-pixels-night, at least for you and Jamon :D
The colors are pretty much as awesome as a single spread gets, and I love your use of the negative space ;)

Stickman (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 2/12/2009 03:06

My days....This really is the best piece in your gallery no doubt. The smile on the robots face is hilarious, as it shows an innocence and a naivety in the expression. I like the fact that you didn't pepper the sky with any elaborate clouds

Fav!

jamon (Level 10 Operative) @ 2/12/2009 02:52

Great stuff! nice colors! and big resolution!!!! 8) and CATS! =)

Terley (Level 3 Hatchet Man) @ 2/12/2009 01:36

Haha its so cute, didnt expect this from the preview.

Emanu (Level 3 Chief) @ 2/12/2009 01:34

man, you are crazy good. much love for robot.

blumunkee (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 2/12/2009 00:36

Wow...just...Wow.

sweytie_piy (Level 1 Rookie) @ 2/11/2009 23:43

this is the greatest thing i have ever seen...

elend (Level 3 Corporate Drone) @ 2/11/2009 23:30

Wow! Massive Masterpiece. I absolutely love that style (as well as the colors)

sharprm (Level 4 Deputy) @ 2/11/2009 22:18

Good stuff. Make it into a low poly game.

surt (Level 11 Godfather) @ 2/11/2009 20:49

Yeah, I meant his right (his left thigh doesn't catch my eye at all), but I had a quick play and couldn't get it any smoother with the existing colours without it getting breaky or bandy.

No big deal, I was digging deep for something to critique.

skamocore (Level 11 Dolphin) @ 2/11/2009 20:48

Amazing job :D

This has inspired me to continue working on a large piece that I've had sitting around in my WIP folder for ages. Thank you.

Solitaire (Level 1 Depressed) @ 2/11/2009 20:42

Was not expecting this, but I can't say I'm disappointed. Brilliant work here.

AdamF (Level 11 CEO) @ 2/11/2009 20:42

Oh, wow, great job ptoing. This is the kind of stuff I like to see from you! =D

ptoing (Level 7 Cuttlefish) @ 2/11/2009 20:31

Cheers, for the replies :) Glad you peops like it. Surt, it's pretty much as good as it gets. If I do it otherwise the highlight would get breaky or jaggy. Both of which would be worse. EDIT: Oh wait, do you mean HIS his right, or in the right side of the picture. The right thigh (in pic) highlight is a tad breaky, yeh. That's what I get for pixelling unevenly stepping lines.

surt (Level 11 Godfather) @ 2/11/2009 20:25

I envy you. My giant robot just sits in his room and mopes all day.

AA on top of his right thigh and top of right foot isn't as smooth as could be, possibly. Otherwise rocking.

Nightmare Maker (Level 8 Regional Boss) @ 2/11/2009 20:19

EPIC O:
Like, instant fav epic.

Metaru (Level 8 Brigadier General) @ 2/11/2009 20:11

I fainted.

Souly (Level 5 Killer Klown) @ 2/11/2009 20:07

Holy shit tacos.
I would have settled for a big scene with the small one but BAM.

Insta-win.

Squirrelsquid (Level 4 Rubbish) @ 2/11/2009 19:49

EPIC!!! :D *bows down*
