I like the art, but the background story awesome; you normally don't find such detail of a character's history or motivation, are these characters from a game or other type of story?

@Gecimen- Nawwwwww shucks. Thank you very much for the compliment. It makes me feel good knowig I'm actually progressing as I wasn't sure if my almost year of pixel art was showing any sort of improvement so this really does mean a lot even if I don't expect an award I feel closer to achieving one. ^_^

Now to run around the house singing "I'm walking on sushine, whoa whoa whoa..."

<3

ps I'm a manly man! =D

I hope this one gets an award, for me it's one of the top 5 pieces in the contest.

@Mr. can- It's meant to be an eyeball... ^_^ It was oririonally going to be a pool for the bottom quarter but it kept screwing with the perspective. I then tried similar to how it is now before attempting to fix it again. I had hoped to animate but being my first attempt at animation I watched it and deleted it straight away because it just looked really messed up. Yes I gave up. T_T

@bone- True mine ain't exceptional but for me it is my fave piece so far. Some experiment pieces can be quite amazing though from what I've seen! I suppose I have a tendancy to comment everything in y site. Not sure if that's a good trait or a bad one.

Actually I take pride in the fact I haven' recieved any 'WTF were you thinking' comments. =D

ps if you can't tell I love emoticons text style or pixelised.

Is that an eyeball? =P

Love the way the slime is shaded, and it would have been cool it is were descending from a pool of slime. Great work. ^^

Why no one comments it? For first, wich is stress reliever, it doesnt suck, but nor its exceptional, its ussually average/above average or you arent known enough,wich when I lurk I find some great pieces. People have many tastes, it may not spark interest in their eye to comment it, it doesnt have the feeling you know, those little eye candies wich make people mad. But some artwork, if I may say "sucks" but I wouldnt put it that way thats too harsh, that you could do in 1 minute using vectors in paint, adding some bizzare colours and calling it experiment gets so much praise is beyond me, maybe I dont have "artistic" sense, bleh who cares, surely a cube isnt art for me, it may be for someone else, but not for me surely, 100 persons have 100 tastes. Your piece is really good...bleh leave it as  it is. Its good and you know it, people even praised you on the forum, keep up the good work.

Thank you very mch for the comment. ^_^

I'm glad the colours and lightin  woked out in the end.

I was meant to add into the description that this was made with a personal challenge of having no single seperate pixels aka each pixel is attached to at least one other of the same colour.

Thanks for the copliment bonehead. Hopefully the reason people ain't commented is they can't find too much wrong with it. Hey got to be optimistic right!

=D

Awesome lightning effects, it just screams of slimyness. Why no one commented it yet?
