In fact I'm still very relutant on maintaining this here. Nothing besides MS Paint is used, however, the only true pixeling present is on the character and the cubes.
The character isn't really meant to look 3-D-ish, but "fading", as if he existed only with the colors hitting him. I'm thinking about pulling this, and resubmitting some other day.
Thank you for the input anyway, it's always very much appreciated.
I'd normally throw in a knee-jerk reaction that yeah, this is definitely not actually pure pixel art in any way. However, you admitting it and showing reluctance to initially submit it, and knowing WHY it's not has pretty much totally defused that. Aside from not being pixel art exactly, it's pretty good-looking! A couple general notes:
* The exact dithering on the sides of the cubes is a little jarring with all the spray can action. If this was just Paint I get that it could be tricky to use the spray can precisely like that, but if you have access to an editor with layers that might have been the way to go.
* I don't think you need that darker color, just the white/black/red/blue/green would've worked. The darker color isn't immediately noticeable, and I don't think it's adding much, so the additional oomph of just using the really intense colors might help.
* On the left side of the arm on the right, I'm not really sure why only certain colors are hitting certain parts. It doesn't seem related to brightness OR lightsource. In general as well, there doesn't seem to be much regard for the guy (you) as a 3-D figure holding the three cubes in three-dimensional space, and the lightsource of the burst behind the cubes doesn't seem to obey any 3-D space either, causing the piece to look somewhat flat. That can be okay if it's the look you're going for, I just thought it worth pointing out.
Cool stuff, hope to see more actual pixel stuff from you soon as well!
My thoughs exactly!
That's mostly the reason I did not bother much with the facebook version. This one is very different (more polished) than the one on there.
This is great! Too bad facebook has gross unavoidable jpeg compression.
The green line is really for kicks. The pixels on the cube are errors. Fixed them, thank you!
This is really frigg'n cool!
The only 2 things I don't much agree with are the two white pixels on the right side of the blue cube and the green line on your neck.
This man reminds me of skrillex, very good.
