Wow, this is so intense and only 14 colors. Nice.

johanvinet (Level 6 SWAT) at 10/26/2012 5:21:27 AM

Nevercreature (Level 7 Colonel) at 2/22/2012 4:01:49 AM

I love this light effect.

skallian (Level 1 Depressed) at 10/21/2011 4:25:00 AM

This piece remind me to a Gustavo Dore's painting. It's beautiful!

AirStyle (Level 3 Corporate Drone) at 10/18/2011 1:36:44 AM

You may not realize this, but yours was the first pixel art I've ever seen on here. Since then, I always love coming to this site. It's amazing what you can do with pixels.

Merez (Level 5 Sniper) at 10/14/2011 11:32:55 AM

This beautiful effect.

Psiweapon (Level 2 Petty Officer) at 6/23/2011 3:47:00 AM

Oh wow. It's glorious. The sky feels like a renaissance painting.

Sergiotron (Level 6 SWAT) at 4/15/2011 12:32:38 PM

Truly an inspiration!

Wofi (Level 1 Seaman) at 4/14/2011 5:54:21 PM

That sun makes it look like The End.

SatTheArtist (Level 5 Detective) at 3/31/2011 10:44:54 AM

I just died a little inside

TheoVision (Level 8 Regional Boss) at 1/19/2011 4:54:00 PM

Very nice dithering. Clouds are not easy to draw...

Cilein (Level 5 Captain) at 10/17/2010 12:45:28 PM

It's not often you can stare at a pile of trash in wonder and awe!

Gonfalon (Level 2 Quiet One) at 7/28/2010 1:00:21 AM

Mystic mountain of modern world ! Well done !

avo (Level 7 Mass Murderer) at 7/12/2010 4:07:52 AM

Great image, so atmospheric...

1ucas (Level 5 Soldier) at 4/8/2010 5:00:32 PM

Awesome! I'll take a pic once it's ready. :D

Larwick (Level 8 Regional Boss) at 4/8/2010 2:46:39 PM

Go for it. :)

1ucas (Level 5 Soldier) at 4/4/2010 7:53:19 AM

To me, this image is absolutely perfect. It pushes all the right buttons for my tastes: red, orange and yellowish colors, clouds, rust, repeating vastness, piles, scrap metal, fog. Ugh.

Can I make a poster of this?

Rain Maker (Level 1 Rookie) at 1/23/2010 3:45:37 PM

i look at it and think or mordor from lord of the rings...lol

Dino502Run (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 1/10/2010 7:27:08 PM

EPIC

pipe (Level 5 Detective) at 12/15/2009 3:18:00 AM

You can really learn much about shading by looking at this picture

I think I will observe it for another 30 minutes...

ui_ (Level 4 Deputy) at 11/29/2009 10:44:13 PM

Peeter (Level 3 Enforcer) at 5/21/2009 11:38:34 AM

Wow, amazing! You made the garbage beautiful!

Andre Williams (Level 1 Rookie) at 5/15/2009 5:29:36 AM

Deyman (Level 1 Private) at 4/12/2009 4:11:45 PM

DanielHyaku (Level 3 Enforcer) at 12/19/2008 3:29:25 PM

Insanity.

minipuck (Level 2 Corporal) at 10/27/2008 12:10:24 AM

sick, definetly a fav.

fawful (Level 6 Yonkyu) at 10/6/2008 12:27:30 PM

Woah!Nice,Thats how i shoulda done my background in my comp entry.

Cloveck (Level 1 Gangster) at 8/27/2008 11:19:09 AM

I like the colors you used, and especially the way you gave things at the top of the pile a sort of radiant outline.

Fenne (Level 3 Stalker) at 8/11/2008 6:43:16 AM

Wow, I really like this.
Great job you did on the sky!

Official-NeoSoft (Level 5 Sniper) at 7/17/2008 1:27:38 AM

AWESOME! I really LOVE the sky!! It looks really awesome!

danbenevides (Level 1 Rookie) at 5/28/2008 6:18:58 AM

Wonderful... I love this palette.

Larwick (Level 8 Regional Boss) at 5/26/2008 4:42:07 PM

Yeah totally. I really like it when people percieve these things in different ways.
And yeah, keep to it and there's nothing to stop you.
I used MSPaint for this. A bit of palette editing in Animationshop though.

Mr.Davpixel (Level 1 Rookie) at 5/26/2008 3:47:40 PM

lol its the first thing i thought of when i saw it. As you can imagine, that bright hole at the top would be the esophagus, somehow illuminated ( as if the creature had a light bulb in his mouth) XD. I really love the palette on this peice. amazing work. i hope one day i could get a top pixel art, or anything with a medal if even! btw, what program do u use?

Larwick (Level 8 Regional Boss) at 5/26/2008 5:34:46 AM

Haha wow, i love that idea! :)

Mr.Davpixel (Level 1 Rookie) at 5/25/2008 6:09:24 PM

my perception of this is the inside of a stomach. the stomach of one who enjoys eating lots of rusty steel.

Echa (Level 1 Rookie) at 5/14/2008 5:31:45 AM

Wow, amazing! I can't imagine how you must have done this one... Great work!

8pixelshighandrising (Level 1 Rookie) at 5/11/2008 3:16:35 PM

Simply, brilliant

Niss (Level 4 Deputy) at 3/4/2008 6:41:09 AM

Jawdropping! I love it, you transfered the atmosphere perfectly. Thanks for the visual stimulant.

Christoballs (Level 2 Quiet One) at 2/17/2008 9:30:58 AM

Larwick (Level 8 Regional Boss) at 10/24/2007 10:14:43 AM

Now this is just amazing, and you started it on my birthday!! how cool is that :P :P

Great fucking job!

Ack, you stealthily submitted this. Once again I bow master larwick

Larwick (Level 8 Regional Boss) at 10/2/2007 10:20:36 AM

Omg thanks bobbo..

The B.O.B. (Level 11 Master Assassin) at 10/1/2007 7:35:29 PM

Gotta' say, Lar'whack', this is your masterpiece. I remember it in it's humble beginnings in the forum. It's certainly grown up since then. It's the most detailed piece of yours that I've seen yet. What I like most about it, though, is that there isn't some stereotypical character stealing the spotlight of the piece, much like you see in DA. In fact, in my eyes at least, I think that the junk pile stands alone fairly well by itself as a character, AND mood of the piece. And damn, 95 favs? You lucky mutt, you!
GREAT
F***ING
JOB!

Larwick (Level 8 Regional Boss) at 9/26/2007 4:31:57 PM

Just have to say, thankyou everyone who's helped me with this and who's commented/faved/rated or just saw it and liked it. You're all great. Even if you've looked, seen the mistakes and disliked it for that, lol. :) ~xxx

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) at 9/23/2007 9:57:57 AM

Using as my desktop picture, I love it.

tdenh2 (Level 1 Rookie) at 9/21/2007 8:45:22 PM

Doomcreator0 (Level 5 Assistant Manager) at 9/21/2007 12:30:24 PM

This is one of your best pieces, the sky is amazing

Mrmo Tarius (Level 8 Guerrilla) at 9/20/2007 5:08:01 PM

K.s (Level 2 Hired Gun) at 9/18/2007 8:26:17 AM

Skurwy87 (Level 6 Made) at 9/8/2007 12:58:00 PM

Whoah! I LOVE junk!

Ectoplasm On Toast (Level 1 Depressed) at 8/31/2007 3:09:06 AM

It reminds me of New Junk City in Earthworm Jim. I would say this this would make an incredible background for your Rustbug game, but the player would pause and stare in awe, and proceed to get blown up.

Jiwestone (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 8/20/2007 11:31:36 PM

Who would have thought that a pile of trash could look so good? A beautiful pice of work. Love it:)

MashPotato (Level 7 Underboss) at 8/20/2007 9:50:53 AM

Ah, that cropping took this piece to eleven

Fool (Level 6 SWAT) at 8/20/2007 9:21:41 AM

Awesome!Amazing!Love it!

Larwick (Level 8 Regional Boss) at 8/14/2007 3:00:42 PM

Ah heh.. well i guess it is finished now. I held myself back from saying it was finished before, though, because of the 'paper cutout' style of the bottom area. But that's gone now so i guess it's okay. :)

Xion Night (Level 1 Thug) at 8/14/2007 2:57:01 PM

How is it not finished?

Froli (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/14/2007 12:48:55 PM

Dasuspect (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/14/2007 8:39:33 AM

ElectroNico (Level 5 Captain) at 8/14/2007 8:14:24 AM

Great job ! Great colors and mood ! Fav and 5/5

Larwick (Level 8 Regional Boss) at 8/14/2007 8:10:08 AM

Guys, your support means sooo much to me! I am very emotional.
I decided to quickly get rid of the bottom part, it now looks more like a proper piece, i hope it's okay, if anyone thinks i should do something else with it please say. Also cheers ilkke, you're right, the pyramid sucked! :D
Yay. Thanks guys. <3

Roy_m (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/14/2007 7:21:04 AM
