	Niss @ 3/4/2008 6:41:09 AM commented on Rust Mesa Jawdropping! I love it, you transfered the atmosphere perfectly. Thanks for the visual stimulant.
	Niss @ 2/25/2008 5:37:16 AM commented on Bad Day? Heh this is actually one of the pieces I did a drawing on paper before - anyway it's like super old. I have done lots of drawings since. Care to elaborate tho?
	Niss @ 6/29/2007 4:58:50 AM commented on Mr. Niceguy 2 Ugh that doesn't look ver nice :( A shame really - it's like blasphemy or something 0_o
	Niss @ 6/19/2007 6:06:38 AM commented on Mr. Niceguy 1 @adam: so you have an image filled with one colour? How... interesting
	Niss @ 6/17/2007 1:15:07 PM commented on Big Bird unless you think that this is mostly "adding noise"...
	Niss @ 6/17/2007 12:37:05 PM commented on Big Bird You can actually do quite funny things with these translation loops(I think I did a few thinks with babelfish). It's about the same level as projecting video on a wall, recording it reprojecting it etc. (adding noise like copying good old vhs cassettes). Of course the real fun begins if you do more with the data than adding noise, like scanning the pj chatterbox > translate/loop it > post it to chatterbox > scan the responses > repeat
	Niss @ 6/11/2007 8:16:06 AM commented on Big Bird Yeah, the mouse is a bit difficult sometimes - it scrolls damn fast but you can decrease the scroll speed in-game. But I find the game super hard - I never managed to finish it once (of course I never chose the easiest difficulty level since I'm a veteran of xcom 1. Hey I have my pride!). So anybody ever managed to finish it?
	Niss @ 6/10/2007 6:13:25 AM commented on Big Bird Say did any of you ever play through X-Com 2 (terror from the deep)? - since I can't get out into the sun I can aswell enjoy a nice game. And some beer. Or just some beer.
	Niss @ 6/10/2007 6:07:36 AM commented on Big Bird Ugh I'm soo sunburned :( And today is such lovely weather again. Crap!
	Niss @ 5/31/2007 9:23:28 AM commented on Big Bird yeah happy b-day istvan!
	Niss @ 5/15/2007 4:30:06 AM commented on A demon inside I really like how you've played with the (well known and heavily technical) trick and made something new. Quite artsy eh? :D
	Niss @ 5/4/2007 5:14:10 AM commented on Big Bird To faktalblad and the others too of course :)
	Niss @ 5/4/2007 5:08:30 AM commented on Big Bird HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU [...] PIXELBLINK [...] Hope you enjoy your bday man!
	Niss @ 5/3/2007 5:18:44 AM commented on TotemTree Amazing work - the composition is the strong point here. Not that restricting to 16 colors and achieving such a nice look is a small thing either.
	Niss @ 5/2/2007 1:14:40 PM commented on My forest scene Wohaa this is excellentand most beautiful! Nothing more to say :)
	Niss @ 5/2/2007 1:06:27 PM commented on Selfish portrait @bob: Now now I will not start to build my own monuments... yet :) Actually I didn't even intend these things under the nose to be the lines you were talking off - just the transition of the lights. And I can't remember when I was that cleanly shaved either :) It's always most difficult to do self-portraits - at least for me. @gas: I aa'ed the hair without thinking - Since I plan to do an animated bg that antialiased hair will then be a big pain in the arse - I already see it coming. I realized that too late though. @everyone: I t might remind of an illustration because I tried to give it that vexel look. Vexel meaning that clearly defined colour-blocks are used instead of soft transitions/gradients. It's quite hot with web-illustrators for some time now - google it, it's worth looking at it. I don't think there's much pixelart with that look but I seem to remember one piece from Kon, the big portrait of an amazon warrior that could be named "vexel". Uh oh well - thank's everybody for dropping by.
	Niss @ 4/29/2007 6:20:32 AM commented on Big Bird Hey Jal, no problem with firefox and mac here - runs absolutely flawless (it's an intel mac though...)
	Niss @ 4/17/2007 12:18:07 PM commented on Eye ache Ah I had to come back - yeah Speccy it was I just checked - oh but you answered that already :) You know, when I looked at it zoomed in today it had that same look like when you didn't match the right channel on tv when connecting your snes or whatever but were very close to it. Stop STOP you're almost there I can already see the capcom logo! Aww good ol' times :)
	Niss @ 4/16/2007 3:01:09 PM commented on Eye ache bastard - that's just too freaking great! :) Those shakeys of yours are always awesome. Wasn't there a neat trick on the c64 switching images like this to simulate a far higher colourcount than possible with that resolution (I might mix it up with some other platform but I don-ät think so)?
	Niss @ 4/16/2007 1:25:48 PM commented on Anika On the shield and other leg and some "stray" pixels all around that mark the beginning of some loose dithering :) anyway I only meant that those pixels could be a bitch when animating and the colours are close enough to skip the dithering.
	Niss @ 4/15/2007 11:50:59 AM commented on Anika whoa great! I think you don't really need the dithering but it isn't a big thing - only if you're ever going to animate it :)
	Niss @ 4/15/2007 11:49:07 AM commented on Big Bird YEAH BABY PUSH IT HARDER. HARDER! Whoops wrong context.
	Niss @ 4/15/2007 9:49:10 AM commented on Big Bird No you're childish.
	Niss @ 4/14/2007 3:27:12 AM commented on Big Bird Awww - I'd love to see a twister :( Over here it's only gales and floods (well actually we have some absolutely stunning bright and warm spring weather right now!). And with the marvelous dikes the floods only swallow some parking lots (+cars) down at the harbour if they are high enough - so nothing fancy...
	Niss @ 4/13/2007 5:24:42 AM commented on Big Bird Ink I'll join you in a moment ripping the world to shreds, just my thoughts on this commentor thingy: Most often the best crits come from people who are not so well versed technically in that specific topic. That's what I got for an impression at artschool anyway. Of course that doesn't mean great artists can't give great crits too - it's just that an outside perspective away from technical details often helps. Although all examples of crits here were purely technical so far (that's ok there are most errors anyway). Attention is always more interesting than absence I think but what I discovered here (and at pixelation) are that some crits are getting repetitive. Like "Outline,dithering, use some hue shifting jap jap jap". It's like a template: I've got the impression some people read the crits of others and copy some points. Than someone else comes along, sees "Holy shit, 2 people already said that the anatomy is off so I really should mention it too" and so on. That might be a good reason to skip over crits when you otherwise would have read them with great interest. Enough said I need to get out into the sun - bye bye.
