Weekly Challenge: Unusual Power Source
Top Pixel Art - September 2012 (#5)
You're starting to refine and unify your style. I really like how this one turned out.
Wow, your style is so unique and inspiring! I love how it looks both soft and pixel-y at the same time. Nicely done!
Awesome! Although the scene is cropped, the sense of space is retained.
nice color and shading. that seems to be your forte. work on structure before rendering! it will give your pieces a LOT of power.
super nice except for one thing, too many colors on the edge of the sphere (9 :O). I think you should simplify it a little.
I like it enough to fave. Great palette. I do agree about the lines and most of the critiques about it being unpolished. I like how you did the texture of the gray walls. I agree with Frostpumpkin about dithering the light emanating from the sphere.
They aren't orange circles. It's piping/tubing with what appears to be lights/clear areas, showing some kind of orange liquid inside. or just heat, hence the glow-liek appearance. There is also orange light behind the tubes.
Yeah, I agree that the piece looks great but I have no idea what it is unless you explain it. I've seen this a few times in the WIP and only recently did I gather that there's a person in there. I also can't decipher what the orange circles at the top are.
There're some issues with the lines. Anyway, I love the use of the palette and the light job 
You manage to nail the mood pretty perfect in most of your pictures, but at the same time you seem to be a tad bit sloppy with your lines. Take more time cleaning up your stuff.
You should also try to use better software, it can have a huge positive impact on both your workflow and works. Sure, you can carv awesome wood scultupres with a blunt knife, but it sure as hell is better to use a sharper one...
The curves are very wonky for a machine-made metal structure. Basically what frost pumpkin said, and is often said, you've detailed and smoothed things before establishing the exact shapes
its getting the energy from the human, transforming it into light
It's hard to tell this is a human in the sphere, like FrostPumpkin pointed out I think it's too sketchy.
Also, I don't understand where or what is the machine that is being powered.
Other than that, the colours are nice
The problem is that it looks pretty sketchy for a finished piece. You should spend more time on details and try to really define shapes.
Also, the character in the center really seems unfinished and it looks like it didn't even changed since the early WIP stages. For the blue/lighten parts, you have a nice set of colors for dithering, try to make this part of you drawing more smooth and polished as it is the main element on your picture and composition. By the way, you have 3 colors left to add to help you smooth it up :)
I really like the concept and realisation, let's say it's a really good start :D
I am such a failure with AA... Any reccomendations?
dude seriously your work is amazing.
Your color palete is great.
don't share?
