The Artwork Thread

[randombs]

I like the contrast between the blocky bits and the high-res flare and smoke. It's like a retro-styled HD update

I've only just started looking at this thread and well,.......wow!

Some of the stuff in here is really great, Dogg Thang the pixel art you are currently creating is truly great!

Keep it up guys.

That's AMAZING!

Thanks so much for doing that for me, it's brilliant! The mix of olde-skool pixels and modern smoke effects are brilliant and I'm really glad his eyes are glowing like in a couple of scenes in the film.

I also like how he's in a gorilla pose as most figures are upright.

I'm constantly trawling the web for Mechani Kong pictures and I've looked for pixel art versions and I can say you've made the best one I've seen!

If you haven't done already, I suggest you get these "doodles" on a website along with some tutorials as to how you've done them as I'm sure that they'd get you a lot of interest.

Seriously, thanks again for this as it's astounding!

Really glad you like it. I wished the pose was stronger to be honest. I think part of me was concerned with just getting to know what he looked like and I missed getting it looking strong a bit. But, yes, I did want to get a hint more gorilla in there and ended up making his arms bigger than the actual reference so I'm really glad you like that aspect!

Very happy that you like it and thanks for the kind words!

My pleasure! I've liked your work from when you first posted your SD zombie celebrities!

I love this thread and I'm gutted some of the earlier posters don't seem to be around any more.

I also enjoy seeing you guys just trying different things out and sharing them with us.

Some of my fave posters have been you, Dogg Thang, and crocky-choccy, EvilBoris, billy and redstar_dan.

However, Adam Stone can get lost! How can one man be so beautiful, draw so well, spin a stick that fast and be such a lovely person? You're putting the rest of us to shame!

[randombs]

It's true. Sometimes I think Adam Stone is skynet trolling us from the future with some AI thingy

[EvilBoris]

Dogg Thang is a very talented man as is AdzStone.

This thread has inspired me to do something, but I don't know what to do.

Yeah so I'm just spamming the thread at this point but where else am I going to post them?

[randombs]

Hopefully somewhere where someone will go "right, we're gonna turn these into XBLA games" and then turn them into XBLA games

[Dogg Thang]

Thanks Billy. That would rock. Would love to do a roguelike or old fashioned platforming adventure game or something. You never know! Some day I might see what I can do.

Love this Jay. If I was a bachelor I'd commission a poster of it for my study.

^^ My fave bit in that is the dog looking back instead of just ahead. Considering the overall scale, a teeny tiny detail like that is great.
