Shuray (Level 1 Rookie) at 10/10/2006 9:11:24 AM
Very good man, you have the patience that I would never had

Grats for the good job
Fav

Jason_c_o (Level 1 Depressed) at 10/9/2006 10:23:58 PM
This is already in my favs, but I don't like how the front and middle legs are so close together. It looks like the frontals are birth defects. Meh, still gets a 5.

Sgrum (Level 5 Sniper) at 8/18/2006 1:41:36 PM
Fantastic work...but  if this Odin is the same Odin of the Vikings, he hasn´t got a sword: he has got a spear called Gugner, and Sleipner (Slippery) is an eight legged horse.

AndyOaks (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/8/2006 9:07:40 AM
Seriously good piece of pixel art for the canvas size.

ryumaru (Level 3 Private Eye) at 8/1/2006 1:04:14 PM
is this thing so good that it has 2 trophies for 1 month? :P

Infinite (Level 1 Rookie) at 7/25/2006 8:41:27 AM

  I love it, all of your work, *+5*.

All hail Ahruon


jakerpot (Level 1 Rookie) at 7/15/2006 6:34:29 AM
What site i download the character maker} I searched it but nothing

REO THE FOX (Level 8 Shodan) at 6/25/2006 9:05:47 AM
awsome!(where can i download character maker??)

Ahruon (Level 2 Kukyu) at 5/24/2006 1:57:55 PM
@ptoing: i use this:
http://usuarios.lycos.es/cardgallery/cmak.jpg

its an old japanese program called character maker, not very known i guess.

about the neck, i guess i could redo the whole thing, since i didnt get at all the shape it had and made it kind of random

ptoing (Level 6 Made) at 5/24/2006 11:51:58 AM
Indeed, looks quite nice, the armour on the neck of the horse looks a bit out of perspective and makes the neck look flat. About the colour thing. Filesize as well and i never even got how people get up to such high numbers. In promotion this is more or less not possible. What do you pixel with?

miascugh (Level 4 Team Leader) at 5/24/2006 2:50:45 AM
oh, aside from that, it's pretty pretty :) i don't know the original but the front pair of legs doesn't make much sense but whatever

miascugh (Level 4 Team Leader) at 5/24/2006 2:48:46 AM
why keep the colorcount low? well, why make it look pretty? don't restrict yourself to superficial visual perception my friend. managing colours is just a technique like antialiasing is (well, it wasn't always like this, of course). it demands some understanding of color theory and it is just like nice proportions, smooth and correct AA, convincing lighting, composition and conveying a message (or pure aesthetics) a display of artistic skill. that's why

lunarknight (Level 2 Quiet One) at 5/23/2006 6:25:15 AM
Wow, what an awesome sprite. 5* and a favourite!

OldSkoolLink (Level 2 Corporal) at 5/22/2006 6:00:17 PM
It's awesome! Your sprites are the most amazing.

Wayuki (Level 4 Murderer) at 5/21/2006 1:52:18 PM
I wanted to say something intelligent about this, but the only thing that goes through my mind is: OMG teh secks! :P

halfDemon (Level 6 Hitman) at 5/20/2006 10:45:35 PM
Purely amazing.

Saryune (Level 1 Quiet One) at 5/20/2006 4:20:30 AM
Awesome work as always. I can see however some mistakes. Not big yet they are there. I see the body a bit big comparing to Odin's legs which give him well... A JohnnyBravo-ish look. The horse came our pretty well although it seems a bit skinny. and I don't know, there is something wrong with the proportions. Hech yeah, I know it has 6 legs, but there's something that does not fit. Anyhoo, an awesome piece of work, nevertheless.

Vaati (Level 1 Seaman) at 5/19/2006 5:17:50 AM
Eoah, that's fucking amazing 0_0 Love the shading and anatomy.

Mulchdiggums (Level 2 Peon) at 5/18/2006 6:36:24 PM
what 6 rating?

Adarias (Level 7 Colonel) at 5/18/2006 4:57:18 PM
i dont care how many colors you use, but i dont think that having every color region have a completely unique ramp benefits anyones work, you need to take colors from each region and use them in other regions' ramps to pull everything together.  in fact, i think that not doing this destroys the integrity of the piece and keeps it from becoming unified, and it is this alone that keeps all your peices from being master-class (in my opinion).  your rendering skills far supass just about anyone ive seen (bar the Masters), i just wish the color sense was also so amazing.

Aleiav (Level 2 Quiet One) at 5/18/2006 2:51:31 PM
Awesome work. :)

Filax_666 (Level 6 Hitman) at 5/18/2006 1:38:26 PM
As Faktablad said, keeping the colour count low is just a matter of aesthetic and it's a purely personal choice. I like to keep very low palletes mostly to push my limits. Besides, using alot of colours usually makes the piece a bit washed out and it may lead to an unintencional pillow shading (not the case here, this piece is great).

If you'd like to learn a bit about coloour theory, you should go here (if you haven't gone already).

DeathByChris (Level 4 Team Leader) at 5/18/2006 11:02:02 AM
Woah i just realized theres a six dot rating thing now, and this horse has 6 legs, the cape is really well done but i think the armor on the horse's neck feels kinda flat.

KRY (Level 1 Depressed) at 5/17/2006 7:40:21 PM
You just became god!

Faktablad (Level 6 SWAT) at 5/17/2006 7:14:44 PM
A color count is important for preserving the pixel art/computer aesthetic.  A lot of times, so many colors is just unnecessary, but it's personal preference.

I get the feeling in this and other pieces of yours that everything's on the same plane.  Even underneath the cape you use a highlight color that is only 1 color darker than the brightest highlight on the top of the cape.  Every single form has a highlight and a darkest color that is similar to all the other forms.  I'd suggest being more selective with colors so that you really can accentuate form, shape and depth.  Otherwise it gets confusing, especially in areas such as where the rider's pelvis meets the horse meets the weapon.

ryumaru (Level 3 Private Eye) at 5/17/2006 5:49:38 PM
xd, thats the point ahruon, your supposed to have the least amount of colors, while keeping it the same, plus a little hue varience in the shading will give it more pizazz =)

Ahruon (Level 2 Kukyu) at 5/17/2006 2:35:58 PM
To all those color comments... i never limited myself for colors -except- for animating, personally i don't see the point. I started eliminating colors for this one, stopped at 34:

http://usuarios.lycos.es/cardgallery/odin3.gif

so uh, i think im wasting time, its looking the same O_o

Sirus (Level 1 Jukyu) at 5/17/2006 2:18:29 PM
Awesome!  I love the way the cape flows.

Elements (Level 1 Rookie) at 5/17/2006 2:16:52 PM
Awesome work man.
the lets may seem a bit off but its a great pixel piece neverthless.
BTW is a high color count trutly important?
i mean on this age and era?i seriously think it aint,don't see what's the big deal with keeping a "low color count" but whatever that's just me.

Mulchdiggums (Level 2 Peon) at 5/17/2006 2:02:30 PM
look closely at the end of the sword, theres an orange

Setzer (Level 8 Cannibal) at 5/17/2006 1:29:02 PM
the only thing I want to point out is that your pallete is full of colors that really aren't neccessary, other than that I love it in every way, really looks professional.

stanloshka (Level 1 Rookie) at 5/17/2006 1:25:09 PM
amazing work, I dont like only next 2 legs....too much

Angel (Level 5 Soldier) at 5/17/2006 1:04:59 PM
Do you have to be so fuckin' good
Still, full score and instant fav...

Shawn (Level 7 Assassin) at 5/17/2006 12:36:10 PM
Saw it a while back at Pixeltendo. What are you doing at a site like that anyway?

I am feckin' in love with this pixel. <33
6+fave

Macks (Level 5 Detective) at 5/17/2006 12:07:42 PM
Awesme work. The color counts a bit high though.

Larwick (Level 8 Shodan) at 5/17/2006 10:34:02 AM
Incredible, the pallette is great. Really caught my eye on the front page. The textures look lovely. 6/6 + fav. <3

8bitty (Level 2 Quiet One) at 5/17/2006 9:32:14 AM
i was amazed when you posted it on pixeltendo for the first time, 5 and fav :)
48 colours if you where wondering

hakka (Level 1 Rookie) at 5/17/2006 9:22:51 AM

it is very good


ryumaru (Level 3 Private Eye) at 5/17/2006 9:20:26 AM

if youre gonna have a high color count, you should add a buffer shade in the cape to smooth that dark shade out some.

other than that...

it just owns!


Dennis (Level 7 Captain) at 5/17/2006 9:12:37 AM
Personally I'd like this piece more with a little more contrast and some shinies on the Sleipnirs and on Odins armor. Still a great piece.

Frario (Level 5 Rokkyu) at 5/17/2006 9:05:11 AM
My eye balls just fell out my crane....

Awesome ahruon, I love your work <3<3<3<3

Filax_666 (Level 6 Hitman) at 5/17/2006 9:03:15 AM
The piece is awsome...there's just one thing that bothers me in most of your pieces, the colour count. An artist as skiled as you are can easily bring it down a bit, I'm sure. 6/6 and favourite anyway!

Adarias (Level 7 Colonel) at 5/17/2006 8:55:35 AM
totally awsome.  i would love to see you do some color mixing instead of these single-ramp color regions, but even as is this is amazing.  only crit is the barding on the horse's neck, which feels rushed.  5 stars out of 5

Shark (Level 1 Jukyu) at 5/17/2006 8:41:15 AM
damn amazing.. 1 crit though, i dont really think the colours of the cape fit with this, u cood save on color count by using existing colors aswell. love the pose and menacing look of this beast. How long did it take? 7* and FAV!
