I'm... hesitant to post these. I have mixed feeling about the game these are all based on, runescape. At once, I realize how dysmal the community was, and how much fun I had playing, how uninspired a game it is, and how it got me to pixel in the first place. Forums for runescape. Thats how I started. People wanted graphics for their signatures, and pixel art was the best way to make the 'super cool I'm beating up a buncha people in the best armour and the most expensive stuff' clicheramas. I oblidged. I started slowly. I regret that I didnt have a comunity like this to help me back then, but I cant change it now. I made my progress in deviant art -esque backpatting forums. Cliche after cliche, using designs from a game. I didnt realize how important it would one day become for me to have my own ideas. But I was 12 then, and I was getting payed for this stuff on my favorite video games currency! As my desire for money grew, so did I realize my talent so that I might be a more desirable seller among the many on said forums. So, I present this motley group of 'sigs'. Notice the garish names plastered on. These were all directly before I left the runescape forum scene and settled permanantly on pixelopolis and pixel joint, before I stopped playing runescape. The lower two were collaborations with my friend jabraulter. He made an original sig, and I came in and edited the hell out of it, so basicalys the pixel work you see is mine, just with a layer of his beneath it. I couldnt have done these pieces without you Jab.

That is really cool!

One of my favorites from the Runescape pixeller community, your work doesn't disappoint. I am glad to see you here, is Jab here as well? You are both some of my biggest heros and the people who inspire me to work on my crummy pixels and struggle to get better at it. Your style is so unique, it stands out even here, a community with thousands of other good artists. Your coloring is just superb and I wish I had some constructive criticism or something useful to say, but instead I can just offer my undying support. Don't stop! And despite what you may feel about Runescape, they love you there.

Because they were even more terrible than these. And who are you?

Omg Godslayer is here cool! Same with Jab omg! That bottom left one was when they both collabed together

...You have a lot more, why not post that too?

Godslayer (Level 2 Corporal) at 10/24/2006 7:04:04 PM

If your going to wright 'sorry for the spam' dont write it at all, Eckered.

Thanks, Aramax.

It's a good piece about a sad subject.

Finally GS...I've been waiting for you to post some of your RS work. Don't be ashamed by it, it' great. My favorite has always been the Kalphite one.

And he's telling the truth...he really did edit the hell out of those two bottom pieces, but nonetheless, he did a phenomenal job.

I'll try and post some stuff in my profile soon, GS...I want to not suck first, though. So it may be a while.

eckered (Level 3 Stalker) at 10/22/2006 9:09:48 AM

ey godslayer =) you may remmember me from tif, but mabe not lol...

i remmember when you made all of these, especally the kalphite one =) i always thought the cape was rather large, but it still is incredable.

i love how you do the bg's... ive alwaysd liked those 'mini' pixels (as pjb called em; because of the bg) and thought they were a great way to do a bg.

also, im reltitively new to pixeling (4 months, i have a gallery on tif, if you even care) and was wondering if you could share some tips on how to get beter. to tell the truth, you, pjb, and mxm were the whole reason i started pixeling.

and btw if any of you want to own that one on the botem left, play runescaope, get rich, and go to runescapecommunity.com, and buy it from a guy named jabraulter

hey godslayer, glad to see you post up your roots, im from the same forum,but since i stoped doing rs art... well now were both here and improving.

alpix (Level 1 Rookie) at 10/19/2006 8:08:32 AM

This is better than the actual Runescape graphics! well done (btw rs sucks)

ManningKrull (Level 6 Hitman) at 10/19/2006 7:27:50 AM

I like the variety of shading styles in these pieces! They're all really interesting. The big beetle is my favorite, and I love the border on the last one.

Godslayer (Level 2 Corporal) at 10/19/2006 4:52:08 AM

Jalonso: Thanks.

Gnarf: I appreeciate the fav, and I like that you nticed the textures I started using on those pieces. I wanted more strokes of color instead usual pixel pushing, I think the effect was well used on both the humans and bugs armour.

Extoplasm on Toast: Thanks, you know that queen isnt even done yet? But, I dont want to finish her.. It makes me feel bad that I didnt design her myself, and Im not making it for others.

Sohashu: Ha. I was terrible at selling them. Well actualy, at first I wasnt. At first, I followed cliches exactly like everyone else, made big sigs filled with stuff that impressed by sheer size rather than quality, like so many do. When I realized how pixel art should be, then my sales started dropping. Only other artistic people appreciated them, which severely limited my market. I also made friends that way, with buyers who shared my interest and looked past superficial '1337ness'.

Thanks all.

Sohashu (Level 7 Sheriff) at 10/19/2006 4:33:29 AM

At last. Runescape stuff that doesnt suck. excellent job. Im assuming that lots of people sought after these, as they give me hope for all runescape players who want to pixel.

Ectoplasm On Toast (Level 1 Depressed) at 10/18/2006 10:58:47 PM

Sorry for the double comment, but I forgot to mention how my anger at RuneScape pixelations is in no way directed at you and you are a great artist. Seeing multiple "pixels" of a guy in a white party hat, full dragon, and an Abyssal whip surrounded by women in likewise attire gets my blood boiling.

Ectoplasm On Toast (Level 1 Depressed) at 10/18/2006 10:52:09 PM

I agree, the Kalphite Queen is definately the greatest part of this piece. Good work, there may yet be hope for RuneScape pixel artists. I grow tired of every day seeing another stupid, worthless excuse for a pixelation (which gives a bad name to the art style) of some guy getting a party hat player kill. I want to travel back in time and slaughter the person that created RuneScape Buddies.
5/5.

Gnarf (Level 1 Depressed) at 10/18/2006 10:37:24 PM

Well, hey! A runescape artist that doesn't suck. These are quite awesome really, particularily the three on top. The way you colored the metal really gives it a lifelike texture. The beetle kicks ass, and I could definitely see him in an RPG as well as the background on the bottom left piece. Very nice work, and I could honestly say the same about your gallery! Fav!

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) at 10/18/2006 10:32:19 PM

lol, I have a niece who's a Runescape addict so I can appreciate these. It also doesn't matter how you got to PJ, we're glad you're here.
