This was done as a style study of Kenneth Fejer.  learned alot from doing this, and was a ton of fun to do.


The sky/background is not pixel-art.

EDIT:  resubmitted without CG sky

silent sniper (Level 1 Depressed) at 4/12/2007 9:03:38 PM
indigo, you rock.

pixeljockey (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/25/2007 9:55:15 AM
I like this one, if you finish the gfx i will do the programming
to make a game out of it. Contact if interessted.
If you are talented pixelpusher who is desperately
in search of a programmer (Win,Mobile,Flash) to
make the gfx come alive in a game, im a programmer
who is desperately in search of pixelpushers who would
like to collaborate on any kind of game-project.

Please contact and sorry, i know im posting this everywhere :-)


Indigo (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 1/30/2007 7:47:20 PM
if you guys want to get in a bun about the brushed sky, be my guest.  I simply suggest ignoring it and looking at the pixel-art for what it is, minus the sky.

I implemented the CG background simply because that is something that has remained constant through most of Kenneth's work.

skeddles (Level 9 Necrophiliac) at 1/21/2007 3:53:00 PM
hey your right!

NPA ALERT! NPA ALERT!   i cant beleve how many pieces get into the gallery that arent complete pixel art. such a shame

inkspot (Level 4 Button Man) at 12/31/2006 5:59:55 AM

It seems to me that the sky is not pixeled...


brod'tam (Level 2 Quiet One) at 12/4/2006 2:57:40 PM
You manipulate styles and characters like it sould be...puppets. Simple and strong skillz mockup !

nvision (Level 3 Corporate Drone) at 9/10/2006 8:19:43 AM
Beautiful in it's simplicity, and lovely soft palette!  The squirrel looks truly demented!

ManningKrull (Level 6 Hitman) at 9/3/2006 1:43:58 PM
This is beautiful. Everything is so solid and plasticky. I love the colors and contrast.

buloght (Level 6 SWAT) at 8/23/2006 1:52:02 PM
I know you are doing a style study, and personally I like the sky. But it would be so cool if you could've mixed his style in with your own pixelling background layer(s). But still this is very nice. 6/6 fav. The squirrel wackyness rules.

Schnauzer (Level 1 Quiet One) at 8/18/2006 4:16:45 PM
Is an snapshot or an original pixel art? ...because looks really good.

Meka (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/16/2006 7:38:09 AM
I really like this one! Great job on the coloration!

spiv (Level 4 Button Man) at 8/11/2006 4:53:18 AM

Arithmetician (Level 4 Deputy) at 8/9/2006 7:33:49 PM

Cool character design and nice imitation of Kenneth Fejer style.
Squirrels rock! \(^o^)/


Atooi (Level 5 Soldier) at 8/9/2006 2:45:03 PM

Great work, Indigo - I love it!

Wonderful character design and choice of colors.


Aramax (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/9/2006 2:21:44 AM

You could almost make a game named SKWERL with those!



acrylicana (Level 1 Intern) at 8/8/2006 9:18:46 PM
Oh! The colors used here are great. :D I'm such a sucker for brights.

jagged software (Level 2 Mercenary) at 8/8/2006 2:13:48 PM
reminds me of foamy the squirrel :)

AndyOaks (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/8/2006 1:10:00 AM
Fantastic style and excellent use of colour.

-Mart- (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/7/2006 5:35:15 AM
The pixelart isn't WOW, but it looks so funny and fresh ^_^ and ehh.. OMG that squirrell is ADORABLE!! héhé.

Nomade (Level 3 Private Eye) at 8/4/2006 11:15:43 AM
Great job
Very kennet-fejerish ;D

Awesome colors.. love this, +fav

cerealkiller54 (Level 6 Yonkyu) at 8/4/2006 9:38:39 AM
Squirrels rock!

neota (Level 7 Ichikyu) at 8/3/2006 7:48:01 PM
This is NICE! Except for the character's eyes that remind me too much of Spongebob Squarepants for me to like the design.

Saboteur (Level 4 Shichikyu) at 8/3/2006 5:16:02 PM

OH, one crit I forgot to chuck in there, might as well stick it here.
Palettes - don't artists of your caliber usually merge anything so similar as some of the ones you've got there? It's a bit gaudy of me to suggest, because I don't know if you chose to or not, but if you DID slip up on that, then... yeah.

I love it. Definite fave that I might study it later, so I can learn 'bout colours and how to not suck at them.

OH, and why did you submit it at double-size? Whatever happened to original size?


Devotos (Level 1 Quiet One) at 8/3/2006 4:17:46 PM

HAUHUAUHAUHA a crazy squirrel.... !!! auhauhuhauha

Sgrum (Level 5 Sniper) at 8/3/2006 2:23:22 PM
It´s a funny work, but not is a complete pixelart: I suposse that the sky was draw with a brush tool, not pixel by pixel.

eghost (Level 5 Sniper) at 8/3/2006 2:07:28 PM
Great job Dan...Very accurately mimic's the Fejer style...

randomblink (Level 6 SWAT) at 8/3/2006 1:58:07 PM

I LOVE IT!! OMG! FREAKING AMAZING SQUIRREL WORK!
So what made you want to do a squirrel piece?


raynoa (Level 4 Team Leader) at 8/3/2006 12:32:56 PM
Good-looking colors, but I noticed straight shadows on the tree, they can be more interesting.

Mykola (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 8/3/2006 7:58:30 AM
OMG that is one crazy squirrel! And your style is awesome!

rabidbaboy (Level 4 Shichikyu) at 8/3/2006 6:46:50 AM
Ooh, simple fun!
The trees look flat on one side.
But I like it, very GBAish!5/5
