Ooh, nice take on the character. Has a grafitti-ish take to it, as opposed to the original cutesy japanese original style it beared. Of course, that's not to say this one isn't cute, either; it certainly still retains that cutesy quality. Though it's a bit rough in places, here and there, skirting the line between pixel art and oekaki, I still dig it, either way. Great job!

I've been perusing your gallery, recently, and I gotta' say, I enjoy your stuff! They're all smaller pieces, but they make use of the small dimensions in fun ways. This one is no exception, as it's a great use of colors, and very readable.

always love fighting game stuff...was following this game for a bit, but I think the developer bit off more than he could chew...was lacking in many ways.

Having a real hard time making out the text on the bottom right. Does it say 'In God, We trust' in death metal type or something different?

He has really tiny arms, even for this chibi style...that, or an abnormally long body.

I feel like the overall canvas of this piece should have been alot smaller, to better strengthen some of the more simpler elements. As large as it is, some parts come off overly simplistic, or barren. Other parts seem unfinished. With a smaller area to work with, it would help your mind focus on those aspects of the piece and give them the proper love they deserve.
   I guess, it's kinda' the beauty of how pixel art eventually developed; that is to say that through limitations of technology at the time, it forced the artists and designers working on said games to carefully consider pixel placement that would help the subject stand out and be more recognizable.

People are remarking about the lovely flame detail with the guy in the bottom left corner, but I see 'nobody' there.
:P
Nerdy literary jokes aside, this looks great, and I love me a good Odyssey inspired piece. Excellent job on the vibrant style!

Is this a reference to the recent Trump shooting attempt?

I love the concept here. My only critique would be the choice of adding the black dithering to the bottom left and top right corners; it just feels out of place and kinda' detracts from the overall motif's/patterns you've established with everything else. I'd personally use one of the existing darker grays to replace the black color, and instead of dithering, maybe utilized the diagonal pattern you've already established from the light near the vase itself, as to not distract from the flowers and vase(not a ton of diagonal lines, just enough to be subtle).

Looks pretty good, but some are hard to make out what exactly they're doing. Specifically, the one highlighted in the preview image, I have no clue what I'm looking at, compared to the other healers/Wound kissers. I suppose that may be due to the washed out colors, as they are background characters.

Ooh, very Frank Frazetta/Heavy Metal vibe to this one...can't believe I've never seen your work, given how long you've been around. Excellent stuff and animations, man!

Wow, pretty humbling to hear, man. I think a lot of us inspired each other back then, and would like to believe maybe our earlier stuff inspired the generation after us. Lovely to see all the 'old heads'- I mean, WISE folks- back here on PJ.

Looks like you submitted this piece more than once to the queue, I think. It's showing up 4 times in the public queue at the moment.

Was the large orange border around the frame intentional, or was that meant to be the transparency color?

The B.O.B. @ 7/16/2024 21:07 commented on artfight

Surprised no one's commented yet, as I think this looks great! Very clean work, and interesting design. I know it's not your particular design, but is it meant to be a cyborg or bot of some sort? At first I thought it was a alt. peircing in his/her cheek, but then I saw the red/pink eyes and am second guessing the character as being a 'borg or some sort. Any hoo, looks good so far.

Fool lives! Glad to see you're still pixeling. Despite the absence, I don't think you've missed a beat, old man! Good stuff, and for some reason, I really like the foreground vegetation, specifically the bottom right corner plant; It's not overly complex, yet it works. Excellent job!

Ahh, my mistake, I see it now. Still great work, otherwise!

I think it's still the old file, as reflection still not showing on the update. That is unless it was a typo, and you meant to type, " After all I decided to 'not' add the dragons reflection..."



user
The B.O.B. @ 11/11/2023 18:02 commented on Floating Castle

Wouldn't there be a reflection of the dragon in the lake/water as well?

The B.O.B. @ 9/16/2023 04:41 commented on Shinsuke concept for Blazing Strike sequel

Looks pretty cool, but the sprite is kinda' huge. It can make things kinda' unwieldy in terms of pixel line work and what not. A little too much of pillow shading for my liking, as well. Not bad though, I like the design, and have been keeping up with the game in question for a bit. I hope the creators manage to keep chugging along and finish it eventually. I really don't want to see pixel art/2d fighters die, and whether Indie games or Triple A titles, I hope future developers feel the same.

The B.O.B. @ 7/19/2023 16:29 commented on Lands Between vs. Street Fighter

Very Dynamic poses, and each character is very expressive. I know they come from pre-existing properties/games(Elden Ring), but the sprite work is very well done with the existing designs. My only criticism is a personal one, in that if this were a real fighting game, and I was one of the animators tasked to animate moves/attacks for these characters, I'd hate you forever. Otherwise, these are very well done and pretty clean!

The B.O.B. @ 6/25/2021 17:34 commented on Kitty

Looks great, I really like the soft touches. Now, I know it's meant to be stylized, but the tiger's right arm/leg seems kinda' short and wonky to me. It's the only thing that throws it off for me, with the entire piece in consideration. Otherwise, I really enjoy it!



user
The B.O.B. @ 6/6/2021 14:49 commented on Summer ( pixel art nouveau)

Great form, but I do feel like the saturation of the skin tones is a bit much. Even when reviewing some of Mucha's works, they don't feel as brightly neon-ish as something like this. I'd probably tone the palette down just a smidge, but that's me.

*edit* also, happy to see you post something here once again, Ryumaru, it's been ages!

The B.O.B. @ 5/28/2021 16:34 commented on Morrigan Hi-res sprite test

The character and lines look clean. The only problem is I don't think it captures the feeling of what the original's intent was. The original's animated idle was more of a slower motion of the hands, as if to bedazzle or glamour her victim with slow and graceful motions. However, the animation here is too fast paced, almost as if she's out on a hot summer's day and is attempting to cool down, unsuccessfully....or she's eaten a really spicy dish...

Fantastic, I loved playing this game on the Sega Genesis. I always picked the Wolf with the flame thrower or explodey-punch. I like the little touch of the flop on the ear of wolf character on the run loop. Great stuff!
