About this one I got to say... a piece of art is never finished, you just stop working on it. I was going to add more stuff to it, but I completely ran out of steam. So I'm calling it quits. >.< A new site layout featuring this piece is coming soon. I have all the graphics done, only the coding left to do.

Shrub (Level 1 Rookie) at 7/11/2009 7:10:43 AM

Wow, I never knew pixel art could be hawt.

wenruto (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 6/18/2009 7:10:04 PM

SHE IS BEAUTIFUL

Exquisious (Level 1 Private) at 4/7/2009 11:11:44 AM

Lol. Not tame at all...

Oren_shtiv (Level 3 Private Eye) at 12/11/2008 8:11:57 AM

i have seen it in your website!

EdensReject (Level 1 Rookie) at 11/28/2007 6:51:01 PM

That is awesome; however, I wouldn't be a tame dragon after spending time with that.

GeorgiePie (Level 1 Rookie) at 11/10/2007 1:00:34 AM

Wow, I can't read any more of those annoying comments! *sigh*

About the foot, it's normal looking, I mean look at what dancers do to theirs!

Also, this is great, not "lacking" anything, I can't do anything this beautiful and soft in pixels or traditional art... people get jealous so easily sadly.

By the way, you made me start pixeling = D About two and a half years ago I believe.I remember I sent you this lame gift, on one of your really tiny bases, it was so bad XD(sorry for the long comment)

YungYankee (Level 1 Gangster) at 11/9/2007 2:13:40 PM

good overall pixel. great work.

shmupstick (Level 6 SWAT) at 10/28/2007 12:25:15 PM

Awesome!
Lack of shadows though.

chess (Level 8 Shodan) at 10/13/2007 6:19:33 AM

Not naked enough... Good work!!

Stan20 (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 7/15/2007 3:00:25 PM

Great hair, hands, b...ALL!

Zhou9 (Level 1 Rookie) at 6/30/2007 10:19:46 AM

Wow! Excellent dithering! Her skin is smooth and realistic!

HoofFoot (Level 8 Regional Boss) at 5/19/2007 2:44:31 AM

It's unrealistic, but who cares? The woman looks realistic altough the clothes don't.

pain (Level 9 Nidan) at 5/15/2007 4:31:54 PM

nice ... 4/5

llyd (Level 1 Depressed) at 4/16/2007 7:51:58 AM

Beautiful, it is! 5/5

Wayuki (Level 4 Murderer) at 4/7/2007 2:41:04 PM

It's really against my principles to rework a piece after I deem it finished, but since everyone was complaining about the knees, I raised them.

@ apanserdig: I actually used a mirror for reference, so the resemblance to Catherine Zeta Jonesis purily coincidental. Don't get too excited, I don't look anything like her. :P

I disagree with the boob comment, because when you raise your arm, the breast on that side gets pulled up quite a bit. Also, I can put my leg and foot in that pose. I can twist my foot even further if I stretch my ankle. Maybe I'm a freak. XD

apanserdig (Level 2 Quiet One) at 4/6/2007 10:53:45 PM

Hey is that Catherine Zeta Jones?

Well executed dithering!

Her knee is dislocated! Too low and she would really have to stretch her ankle if she were to point her foot in that direction compared to her knee. I would say that her left boob is dodging gravity, but I guess this is common practice in the fantasy genre.

eghost (Level 6 Hitman) at 4/1/2007 7:28:55 PM

Beautiful piece...

One question...Did you go blind while dithering it?

Serioiusly, very smooth color control...Love it!

Wayuki (Level 4 Murderer) at 3/31/2007 12:27:21 PM

@ Stitchy: Neck straps wouldn't be enough at all to make the nipple plates realistic, they would need a strap inbetween them and around the back as well. Which would just ruin it, IMHO.

I personally don't mind the impossibleness of the outfit, it's a fantasy piece afterall. It's held up by magic. Or maybe just very strong glue. :P

Stitchy (Level 6 SWAT) at 3/31/2007 11:45:04 AM

Awesome pixel art. The dithering is just astounding on this, which is really helped by your color choices. But, uh... those... "nipple plates" are completely impossible. It would make this girl happy if there was some kind of thin chain around her neck that would give at least some illusion of possibility. <3 And I agree that her knees are a bit low, but not much can be done now, so it doesn't matter. :B

mikey (Level 1 Private) at 3/31/2007 6:58:35 AM

Nice, magically magnetic bra plates: ]

Hapiel (Level 11 Psychopath) at 3/31/2007 4:29:10 AM

She can not only tame dragons, I think she can tame anyboddy!
Wonderfull artwork!

[thUg] (Level 5 Sniper) at 3/31/2007 3:23:02 AM

Very nice, without any proportion's defects, I think human's body is so hard to draw perfectly and still more with only 15 colors, really wonderful work !

joseph_ch (Level 3 Enforcer) at 3/27/2007 6:49:20 PM

it's very nicely done except one thing that really bothers me, the knees. they're really low. maybe 10-20 pixels higher. good job.

AndyOaks (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/27/2007 9:21:53 AM

Oh wow! This is one of the best pieces I`ve seen on here in a long while. Very very cool indeed!

Josiah (Level 9 Federal Agent) at 3/26/2007 9:41:43 PM

wow, this is really good. I love the detail, and the anatomy seems perfect!

Wayuki (Level 4 Murderer) at 3/26/2007 12:22:38 PM

@ Necky: It will look a lot smoother on the actual background color I will be using on my site. ^_~

BadMrBox (Level 2 Quiet One) at 3/26/2007 11:02:35 AM

I remember this from pixelation. It looks really really good. I'm looking forward to see your site.

Necky (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/26/2007 10:35:23 AM

Very nicely done! :D The muscle structure is particularly well done. I'd have personally antialiased her to the background though, would have softened her lines up a lot :)

exocet (Level 6 Major) at 3/26/2007 4:45:42 AM

Looks amazing, good job!

ZZZkodi (Level 7 Mass Murderer) at 3/25/2007 11:59:17 PM

Uu lala! Beautiful girl.

Cha_Lia (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/25/2007 9:42:09 PM

Gorgeous....just gorgeous...

khorin (Level 1 Private) at 3/25/2007 6:37:11 PM

I was wondering when I'd see this piece at pixeljoint. It kind of disappeared in pixelation. I love the result here. It's very beautiful! I can't wait to see your finished site.

ZoSo (Level 3 Chief) at 3/25/2007 4:12:50 PM

I saw this earlier at pixelation.. It still amazes me.

MichaS (Level 1 Depressed) at 3/25/2007 2:11:27 PM

Oooch, great work. Awsome shading and coloring. I don't like her right hand. It's look flat. I love the hair and face :) 7/7 and fav :)

Mirre (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 3/25/2007 1:17:53 PM

You have done a very nice job with this. I like how the colouring and shading is so smooth, even though the large size. Love the details in hair and hands too. Lovely work!

MashPotato (Level 7 Underboss) at 3/25/2007 1:12:21 PM

Gorgeous work

Loop (Level 3 Hatchikyu) at 3/25/2007 1:04:56 PM

That's beautiful.
The colours, the smothnes, the anatomy...
Amazing.
