Mouse-drawn and -pixelled.

The lineart took a long time and so did the texturing, everything on and off over the last 3 weeks, I've been working on it very hard in the last couple of days. Well it took a long time summoning the army, getting the troops together, you can imagine.

Reference: I was paging through a book of Adrian Smith's warhammer drawings when I saw a pic called the 'Skaven Battle Line - Warhammer Armies 2001'. I thought it would look cool in pixel art, so I tried to make the same battle line, but in a different more cartoony style. Notice the oversized heads and giant upper bodies. Also I changed a lot of the details since my proportions made some stuff different. A lot had to be improvised and changed. The image was in greyscale and for the duration of this piece the book was on my lap for reference :).

Inspiration: The B.O.B.'s war picture titled 'the Massacre'. And Big Brother since and I am inspired by his work and games, he also informed me about the existence of pixel joint.

Colours: 12

 The background soldiers' shading style is what caught my attention mainly. Great idea

 I remember seeing this about a year ago when browsing pixel art, it was in the Hall of Fame and I was lurking... This piece has kinda stuck with me through that time and been an influence on me in more ways than one. So glad I've found it again. Can't fave it enough. I love it.

user
almostpeaceful74 (Level 1 Thug) at 3/27/2011 9:39:28 PM

I was taking a drink of water when i saw this, and honestly almost spat it all over my keyboard. This is wonderful. Just the drawing alone is stunning, but if you take into account the shading and dithering, not to mention the twelve-colour palette, it becomes something really special. Also it's Warhammer, so add ten thousand points.

 

I bet you get sick of it after 5 years worth of adoring comments though, eh?

buloght (Level 6 Hitman) at 4/11/2009 9:12:47 AM

Hey stickman. It's true I made this when I was relatively inexperienced. It doesn't really do aa well, and I used pure black as the darkest colour, plus some of the colours are "close" together and maybe more contrast would be better, also that metal ball on the rats weapon is maybe a bit attention seeking and pillowish. Plus there is no real sky (need misty clouds). The brown might also be extremish, maybe some cooler (purple/blue) should replace the darker colours. I have even since then made an edit, but after asking big b if I should update it, he said it's better left alone. I think if I did it now, it would look completely different, but maybe that will be a bad thing, because this was made without any pixel "rules" or "restrictions", so I like that about it. Sometimes those rules are only guidelines anyways :D. This picture has many "pixel" faults, but I really like it as it is :D it represents my pixel innocence.

Guys, thanks for all the comments :)

P.S. I'd also not draw something this big with the mouse again.


user
Stickman (Level 6 SWAT) at 4/10/2009 1:50:44 PM

I still come back to look at this piece, when talking to friends and other artists about colour usage in pixel art. Really is a great pic - but I do wonder if there are things that you see now, that you would change about this picture.

What would they be, if any?

Namre (Level 1 Jukyu) at 1/9/2009 7:12:25 AM
When the image first loaded, my first reaction was to click the favorites button and give it a five. Just look at the textures, wow. And even the ground. The atmosphere of the piece really does give the air of an impending battle. Very nicely done. I'm very impredsed.

So many details, and I love the dark colours.
The weapons look battle-worn and scratched, the armour dirty and ragged in places.
I think I will take a look at some Warhammer.

Excellent work - you really got the Warhammer feel correctly, although the border of the piece + the stakes coming out of it look a bit off to me.
