	Monsoon2D @ 11/17/2009 9:06:58 PM commented on Luffy Bare in mind that when you post a piece of art that isn't your own (though slightly modified), it brings into question any piece of art you make after that. You can claim that you used that image as your reference all you want. It's a pretty poor lie.
	Monsoon2D @ 9/23/2009 4:28:24 PM commented on A sacrifice is needed! lol mirrored wtf n00b Looks good, ptoing.
	Monsoon2D @ 7/29/2008 8:30:22 PM commented on small characters. Oof. I got my numbers ALL messed up.
	Monsoon2D @ 7/29/2008 8:06:26 PM commented on small characters. 3. Eustace from Courage The Cowardly Dog. 5. Manfred from Ice Age? 7. Shuma-gorath 12. J. Talbain 13. I REALLY want to say it's the last boss from Final Fight Revenge 22. That character from that anime I've never seen. (Aang from Avatar?)
	Monsoon2D @ 5/31/2008 8:04:49 PM commented on Navy Seal Certainly over-exaggerated, but pretty good considering the limitations. PS: A job's a job. I've worked for Gameloft for a while now and have no (major) complaints. If you've never worked in-house, it's a great stepping-stone.
	Monsoon2D @ 9/4/2007 10:44:50 PM commented on Children of the damned Sorry, if this was created in "half an hour", then the pixels weren't placed entirely by hand. As such, I can't help but compare these types of art with other digital paintings, and not pixel art pieces. Is it pixel art or just a low-color digital painting? I would categorize this as the latter, so I can't comment on pixel technique, because there isn't any. As a digital painting goes, it's okay, although a bit blurry. The palette is nice, but I'm sure you can drop over 1/2 of the colors and it'll still look fine. And yes, Tomic. I whole-heartedly believe that these low-color digital paintings should not show up on a pixel art board. If this style of art is allowed, I think there should be a revision to the site's submission rules, and a seperate (non-pixel art) catagory added.
	Monsoon2D @ 8/4/2007 6:40:41 AM commented on Isometric Lamborghini Murcielago Essentially, your art will be showcased on the site for a 24-hour period. It's a great way to get noticed. I guess I'll give dA another shot.

	Monsoon2D @ 6/10/2007 6:17:33 PM commented on SNAKE! This is actually a rip from the rare Konami/Capcom project "Mega Man Solid". It centers around a now retired Mega Man and... Yeah, it's an edited Mega Man 7 sprite.
	Monsoon2D @ 6/10/2007 5:58:19 PM commented on mgs ninja Sprite edits don't go over too well here. Have anything original?
	Monsoon2D @ 6/3/2007 11:33:04 PM commented on Vase Critter The B.O.B.: Yeah, I'll give major props to SNK for putting so much effort into SvC Chaos. That Dhalsim sprite? HOT! The funny thing about Guilty Gear is that though the sprites are high-res, the animation is crap. If Capcom can give us high quality sprites + SFIII animation, I'll be quite happy. Though many people find the SFIII sprites "over animated", I felt it necessary given the parrying aspect of the game. Now that I think about it... if SSF2T is remade and they give us parrying, I'll crap my pants (gleefully). I could see Capcom going the 3D route, and that's not necessarily bad. It could be done tastefully. I'd be okay with some pseudo 2D cell-shading. I'm not okay with realistic-looking Street Fighter art. The portraits of the Capcom characters in CvS--- Ooof. Poor Guile.
	Monsoon2D @ 6/3/2007 10:16:11 PM commented on Vase Critter The problem is that it's NOT a new Street Fighter game; It's a remake of Super Street Fighter II Turbo, and that makes me sad. Why go through all of this effort to remake an old Street Fighter game instead of trying to create a new one? Not that I wasn't happy with Capcom Fighting Evolution. Nevertheless, I'm happy that they're going the high-res route. Perhaps they'll finally remake that damn Morrigan sprite.
	Monsoon2D @ 6/3/2007 9:12:37 PM commented on nods Sub-pixel animation is a very valuable tool, and kudos for giving it a shot, Akira. Try taking it a step further and see how slow you can make the movement (without decreasing the frame-rate).
	Monsoon2D @ 5/30/2007 9:11:58 AM commented on Big Bird What an entertaining way to start my morning.
	Monsoon2D @ 5/18/2007 11:33:42 PM commented on Nakira For those who are 18+ and in the US, here's a hint: Use the arrow keys and space bar.
	Monsoon2D @ 5/17/2007 8:19:08 PM commented on Nakira
	Monsoon2D @ 5/10/2007 5:03:51 PM commented on the the Aside from the fact that it's not yours, it's also not pixel art. -2 life points.
	Monsoon2D @ 3/29/2007 5:41:17 PM commented on Iso Military Character + Animations Yup. This was done for GameLoft.
	Monsoon2D @ 3/29/2007 2:20:44 PM commented on Boxin' Reference problem addressed and resolved. Huzzah!
	Monsoon2D @ 3/21/2007 3:23:46 AM commented on Red nuke I would suggest simply updating the old version by including this image next to the old image, or simply replacing the old one altogether.
	Monsoon2D @ 3/20/2007 1:40:54 AM commented on Big foot finds a ball I might be wrong, but I think he's suffering from a severe case of "backwards-hand".
	Monsoon2D @ 2/21/2007 11:57:39 AM commented on Big Bird Okay. I think I found it. Though it doesn't look like the same site, it'll work fine. (http://www.gcdb.org)
	Monsoon2D @ 2/21/2007 11:44:29 AM commented on Big Bird Once upon a time, there was a link posted here that showed the locations of game companies on a map. I've searched the news posts several times; does anyone happen to have that link handy?
