I love the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. vibes in this piece. Great job to capture so much content in such narrow area.

@ZapWo Thanks. It's very specific comicbook style, which is used and developed in different ways over time. But it's somethign that always lookded postive and charming to me, even when some specific story scene may not be as "positive". :)

@DukeDarer I'm glad you like it.  Sometimes it makes it easier when you don't need to worry about the colors and when palette is decided even if it's small, but it knows to get tricky to keep contrast and clarity in small areas.

@carrion Thank you for the compliment. I really gave myself few days to leave it and go back to it several times, and further polish some things, which is not always the case, and that allowed me to handle smallest details properly.

@Stickman Thanks, it was tricky as always. It does gets easier over time, but I doubt it will ever become "easy", at least for me.

@Eggy Alan Ford je odličan za lepo raspoloženje i opuštanje.

Thank you, I'm very glad you like it.

@Cyangmou Thanks for the compliments. :) I've took the time to draw all the details I wanted, especially since it was a fun process overall. I even planned to create idle animations to make it even more "game like" but that would spread across most of the elements in the scene and it would require a lot more work so I've gave up.

Regarding gameplay, I was thinking about that as well. In my head it would be some mix between "Sam and Max" and 1992 gameboy "Looney Tunes" where you control different character in each level, to give attention to other members of the secret "TNT" group as well.

@ al19890604 Thank you, I'm glad it was helpful in some way. :) Alan Ford is great, especially because it's chill and easy to read. Very mind relaxing comic series.

@khoemy Thanks, it was a nice personal challenge, and somehow limited number of colors help in a way, since you don't need to worry about that part while drawing. It's already solved in advance. :)

HarveyDentMustDie @ 6/18/2022 14:50 commented on Sir Oliver

Thanks for the compliments. :)

In short, in 70s New York there's a secret agency called "TNT", and their base is the fake "flowers" shop. It's a parody overall and authors critique of the society in almost each page. They are constantly broke and hungry while at the same time they solve "big cases" around the world.

Sir Oliver is one of the agents (alegedly nobleman) who is a master at tricking people and often saving the day, but more important is that he steals everything and anything he can ranging from cutlery to safes, which is why he's always on the run. It's of course complex character which can hardly be described in few sentences, but I enjoy his persona in comics so much, that I've had to make this imaginary game mockup. :)

Najlepše hvala. :) I'm very glad that you like it, and that there are still Alan Ford fans out  there.

Drawing this was a great time for me, too bad most people won't get much from it due to lack of context and background story. Nevertheless, it's still one of the better things I've created.

I love Donkey Kong's face expression. I'm sure animation would really add quirkiness to this character and change angry gorilla approach.  :)

You definitely create most appealing pixel art drawings and animations I've seen. They are so crisp and shiny like a candies every time. :)

HarveyDentMustDie @ 11/19/2016 13:05 commented on rowdy boys

Why did you reduced resolution from your original designs. I adored your original drawings and animations from several years ago and always wanted to see more.

When I saw this at first I thought someone is making bad copy of original drawings, especially buffed guy with cowboy hat. Maybe it will allow faster finishing of game, but I still vote for original design and animations cause they are unforgettable. :)

HarveyDentMustDie @ 8/20/2016 16:37 commented on Wake up Mana

My first idea was Photoshop but then I thought, there must be tousands of frames there which is very hard to controll. So I presume you arrange them in timeline instead of frames.

I always wanted to make Silent Hill short animation, I even got chip tune themes custom made but at that time my skills couldn't follow my ideas so it's on hold for very long time, I will probably start from scratch if I decide to make it.

Thanks for reply, and best luck with future animations. :)



user
HarveyDentMustDie @ 8/20/2016 09:00 commented on Wake up Mana

I saw all episodes and I must say, this is top notch pixel art work, animations are soo smooth and appealing while backgrounds are full of details. I especially like Vallow character and his animations. It's strange that it doesn't have bigger audience. All in all great job. :D

I also have a question, in which software you combine your backgrounds and animations to make everything smooth but still make it look like there's a grid beneath. Aftereffects?



user
HarveyDentMustDie @ 8/15/2016 16:22 commented on Baphomet

Effects look very smooth and fluent. Great job, I hope that the rest of the game will have same level of detail and cool animations. :)



user
HarveyDentMustDie @ 8/15/2016 16:17 commented on Cross animation reel

I agree that during the run head should move cause he looks like he's stuck, like in cartoons when bigger character or a robot holds him in the air by his head.

Also leg is too tick in stationary pose, even if his legs are folded under his body like with chickens you should suggest that with darker green. That big block looks a bit strange when it's compared to other animations where legs are defined.

Next to this there are some pixels here and there that need fixing but, overall it looks interesting and appealing. :)

I knew this was your animation from the first glance. Great job once again. :D

Gravity falls is one of the best cartoons I've watched. There's so much care and thought invested in every little detail, which makes it very unique and special.

Your colors are always very bright and eye catching. Do you have some specific color picking method?



user
HarveyDentMustDie @ 7/28/2015 08:51 commented on The Butcher

Good idea, especialy with ropes around arm to make it look like salami, and good usage of black, but it needs more cleaning and polishing to make it look perfect. :)
