Top Pixel Art - September 2011 (#8)
I love everything about this. The faces are especially great and full of character.
El MEJOR PIXEL ART QUE HE VISTO!!!
THE BEST PIXEL ART I EVER SEEN!!!
Doña Florinda: ¡Profesor Jirafales! ¡Qué gusto verle por aquí! ¿No querrá pasar a tomar una tacita de café?
Maestro Longaniza: ...¿No será mucha molestia?
Dª F: Claro que no, ¡Pase usted!
M.L.: Después de usted.
...

Good attention to detail and technique. With each piece you draw, the poses seem to grow a bit more expressive and dynamic. I have a few nitpicks:
-The colors look very brooding, not sure it matches the characters' cartoony proportions and attitudes. The dark background makes it look like they are floating in a void.
-Each character reads like a sprite. The people seem generally unaware of each other, like they were transplanted from different pieces. I think the lack of interaction plus the colors make the piece seem lonely and sad overall. If that was your intention, it feels like you are pulling your punches in other aspects.
-It doesn't look like you've made up your mind about dithering. It's used sparingly on most, but extensively on the old woman.
-Some of the termperature shift seem abrupt. I like the idea of warm highlights and cool shadows, but maybe you could buffer them more, or make one extreme less saturated. It almost leaves ridges in some places where these shifts occur, confusing the shapes rather than helping to describe them.
-I realize the dithered outlines you draw is your signature thing, but it might be nice to branch out. Why rely on a trick unless it contributes to the scene?
Don't mean to sound harsh. I like the piece. With a few adjustments, it'll get more Valentine's.
The backgrounds looks so wip. Everything else is amazing. Many children memories. I would've not guessed this series were translated in portuguese too.
Wow, great job! Doña Florinda and Profesor Jirafales have exactly the same expresion!
I had the privilege of working in the Nintendo DS game for El chavo, sadly finished but yet unpublished, maybe someday ig gets out to show some of the art of the game!
Excelent! In fact I logged on after 3 years of absense here at PJ just to write this comment, congratulations ol' chap!

All my childhood came back when I saw that (I'm Brazillian and El Chavo (know as Chaves here) is huge.
