	[thUg] @ 4/28/2008 1:31:15 AM commented on Candy Paint Cans Oups, Pixelblink, you're right, it seems that I've read this weekly rules too fast... It's pity, I would have been able to redo it with "Candy Drink", candy and drink can behind but it's too late .
	[thUg] @ 3/29/2008 8:34:59 AM commented on Royal Guard Of Blood Throne No, of course I'm not Jansson. Sorry, it's big oversight from myself, I've started learning how to paint with photoshop some time ago, using his great tutorials and drawing using some of his work as reference. My pixel piece was done using a knight I've quickly drawn on a corner of one of my skecth book as ref, seems that I've drawn it using Jansson works as ref. That's certainly why I've forgotten where it came from, I've corrected my mistake.
	[thUg] @ 1/5/2008 9:02:28 AM commented on Blox Mockup Thanks, I've corrected my mistake on "lives" word. ;)
	[thUg] @ 12/23/2007 6:00:51 PM commented on 7x7px FONT I think that it's the squared shape which reminds you "V". "V" was an old fantastic TV serie that I watched being a child (Gosh! I am old! :s ) , here is the logo and here, alien's fonts used by the "Visitors".
	[thUg] @ 12/23/2007 4:46:23 PM commented on 7x7px FONT It's true that they remind mine but finally they're not the same. That always happen, specially with bitmap fonts of small sizes, 7x7 that does not leave a lot of possibility ;) You've talk about TTF fonts, take a look here ;p Anyway, nice fonts, dude!
	[thUg] @ 12/13/2007 11:06:13 AM commented on That night, a firefly fell into my ear Amazing! Very great use of those C64 colors! I really love your style!
	[thUg] @ 11/27/2007 8:23:20 AM commented on Masquerade I just love how you have used the 16 colors from C64 palette. Style of game just remember me the old good Chaos Engine from the Bitmap Brothers, really nice mockhup!
	[thUg] @ 11/18/2007 11:13:18 AM commented on Bobby I think you're loosing your time for the moment... Look at some of this tutorials before.

	[thUg] @ 10/19/2007 5:50:10 AM commented on Yes, another sonic I really like the shading, nice work.
	[thUg] @ 10/18/2007 3:16:30 PM commented on Bionic Comando Remake (Complete Mockup) @ Emanu : Yes, I've just seen news on internet, lol and I realise that it's not the first time I have an idea and someone else make it too... I want a Chaos Engine 3 with some Dan Malone design !!! :p
	[thUg] @ 10/16/2007 1:17:58 PM commented on Metaru's Tarro I like this one a lot, it could make a great sprite for a nice platform game !
	[thUg] @ 10/16/2007 1:02:55 PM commented on Hot Air 2 Balloons (Pack 2) Yep : p thanks! I've corrected my mistake between 22 and 23 names.
	[thUg] @ 10/15/2007 11:14:12 AM commented on Bionic Comando Remake (Complete Mockup) The orange BG on the 5th screen is a bit agressive but I've tryed to respect original levels and on this original level, sky was pure red, that why I make it orange who looks more like some sky color, but it's right, now I realise that a complete level with this orange can hurts our eyes maybe I could change it to a nice brown. For the contrast between sprites and BG, I realise it but very late when I've make the sprite on the 11th screen. Unfortunaly, this remake will not be created because it's hard to find coders that can code 2D platform games or have free time to make it. Anyway, if I find one, I'm quite open to do it. Thanks to all for your comments @ Skamocore : Thanks for the links, I'ven't take the time to do it.
	[thUg] @ 10/15/2007 10:28:06 AM commented on Ti82 Pictures Yes, they was all done on TI82 and copied on Amiga 500 later, excepted the girl on 6th screen who was done on Amiga 500 and copied pixel by pixel on TI82. lol, I think I've lost part of my eyes pixeling on this machine : p
