The preview is incredibly cool. Love the full piece too!

yeah, most of my pieces were considerably less work... this one was a grind. my next one (assuming i don't drop my current project) will be too (even moreso, maybe). i low key kinda decided that i'd rather put more effort in on fewer pieces than less effort in on more.

damn, this is next level

oh i love her. so full of personality!

these are great! each character's animation has a lot of personality

holy crap these are so cool

haha, nope, still unemployed as you can perhaps see from the fact that i'm drawing a bunch every day (resulting in a new drawing every day or so). i have enough of a cushion so that i don't have to be *that* stressed about getting a new job just yet (and there's some annoying BS with my last one that needs to wrap up before I can apply in earnest, so I'm basically just stuck with not much to do but draw lol)

such great style! the outlines are amazing. i love some of the little details too, like the face on the tip of the club.

ohhhh thank you so much for the detailed comment! that's some extremely good feedback! you didn't cross a line, not at all, in fact you made my day with the comment, since it shows you really thought about the piece!

damn this is really cool. very evocative and messed up (in a good way). 1bit is so hard too.

Thank you! I work from references, usually 3D pose software. And yes, I try the poses for hands myself sometimes. I'm actually not super happy with the hands in this one, but what are you gonna do.

Thanks! Looks very nice :)

so, i did actually notice this (i run my things through the image tool to check color count) but just ignored those colors since they're effectively the same anyway. is it worth fixing do you think?

i don't have an easy way to fix it in photoshop, but i do have an aseprite license so i think i could fix it by just opening and resaving in that (i'd have to reinstall aseprite since i dont have it on this computer though).

that or write a little program to clean it up, which might be worthwhile anyway (could also strip any accidental png metadata at the same time).

Crap! Thanks for noticing that I put it up in the wrong res 

Thank you, this is really nice, your comment made me smile.

I don't take commissions, but I've been known to take requests from time to time, although it has to strike me as something that would be fun to do, and even then it'll take a while before I get around to it, if I ever do. So feel free to send me a private message, but the most likely answer is "I'll think about it".

what the heck this is incredible

good call about the hand wrinkles. somewhere in my mind i knew this unconsciously, but ignored it for this drawing for some reason. it's easier to omit them so i should be more willing to do that in the future.

it is a lot of colors for a piece that doesn't even have AA, but it's very nice still, and the fact that you drew a background imo justifies having a higher number of colors. i like it a lot.

wow, great feedback all around. nice catch in particular about the unshaded parts, i totally failed to notice them. i tweaked the color of the golden dots on the cowl too, but am not sure about a highlight, i think you're probably right that it would help but i'd rather not change too much to what is in my mind a finished piece. i'll keep it in mind next time i draw something like that though.

very nice. love the shapes.

thanks, i try. i have good periods and bad periods, but i have been on a real streak lately. it'll probably be a bit before i post another tho, gotta go to a conference for work.

waa oops thanks for catching that!!

thanks! it feels like i'm still using a bit of a poop-load of colors though. would like to get better at keeping a more limited palette on AAed pieces.

I use photoshop so I'm sure there's a symmetry ruler. I'd need to learn how to use it though. But that might be worthwhile to avoid these sorts of mistakes. Good idea.
