Lotta' problems on this. The main thing that's bugging me is the flag doesn't look to flaggy. Looks more too stiff. I'm satisfied with the skull, which I guess was the point of the challenge.(it was supposed to be a skull with horns in front of a flag with a bit more details for symbolism, but I couldn't go any further...MY EYES ARE GOING TO POP IF WORK ON THIS ANY LONGER!)

Hope this is an eligible candidate or entry for the tourney. I worked on this sucker for about 4-5 days on and off. Let me just say, that I will never dither again, as I think I have permanent eye damage from staring at bright whites next to bright reds and blues all day...ugh..

good luck to everyone!

I can't spell, and was breast fed till I was 13 years old.

Awesome.............. no comments... Gonna use it on my mobile )

Faktablad (Level 6 SWAT) at 1/21/2008 8:31:02 PM

At least make a background that's less hard on the eyes.  I'd reccomend black.  Besides the background, I like the idea and excecution of it, so I'm going to add it to my faves list.


ScarredShadow (Level 4 Deputy) at 1/21/2008 6:05:49 PM
I think he owned the internet with that one.

Doomcreator0 (Level 6 SWAT) at 1/21/2008 6:32:27 AM
BOB I think you just owned the competition.

schrumpfkopf (Level 1 Depressed) at 1/21/2008 6:13:15 AM
holy crap - plain awesome

MashPotato (Level 6 Made) at 1/20/2008 6:23:36 PM
Fabulous work--the mouth area looks especially good to me  
Heehee, I feel the same way about dithering (that is, whenever I can work up the courage/patience  to dither in the first place... which is almost never ).  The effort has definitely given you great results here, though!

Metaru (Level 8 Brigadier General) at 1/20/2008 11:08:41 AM
Perhaps the best example of improvement. the diferences in both pieces is... truly remarkable

dumbo (Level 9 Executioner) at 1/20/2008 7:58:02 AM
I really dig this piece. But for some reason I would like to have seen it mirrored (with some small changes from side to side).

Great work man...

The B.O.B. (Level 10 Master Sniper) at 1/20/2008 7:54:38 AM
Thanks every one!

@Tomic: Yeah, the horns were tough to pixel to make them look good in terms of detail. Some times good pixel technique means losing natural quality of real life pixels, and makes them too smooth. That, or I just didn't know how to approach Ram horns from a pixel point of view, heh.
@iLKke: Yeah, it's a goatee beard. Kinda' like a two colored black and white head dress styled beard, but strapped to the skull's chin by small wires which go through those little holes in our bones which allow veins, arteries, capularies, and whatnot pass through. Wasn't too sure about the size limitations, or whether it had to be extremely close to the originals as well, but the directions didn't specify, so this is what was roughly spawned...
references: used this SKULL as a basic know how of how some things are aligned in the skull, and this RAM skull, for the horns...I google image searched a poop load for many images, but those two drew the most inspiration and reference I think.

@Feron: yeah, I suck at previews, hah ha...

greenraven (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 1/20/2008 7:11:04 AM
Nicely done.

Shawn (Level 7 Assassin) at 1/20/2008 6:54:53 AM
And the winner is...

Feron (Level 5 Sniper) at 1/20/2008 6:47:44 AM
Preview lets you down... but i saw a skull and had to click. Jaw-droppingly spectacular.

Badassbill (Level 8 Cannibal) at 1/20/2008 6:18:39 AM
I was speechless for a moment there. The skull and horns are amazingly well done.

Kingy (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 1/20/2008 4:44:35 AM
This is just amazing..

Hîdan (Level 1 Gangster) at 1/20/2008 4:25:04 AM
Awesome, that simply amazing :D

iLKke (Level 7 Mass Murderer) at 1/20/2008 4:22:06 AM
I thought we had to stick more to the originals, but I'm glad you didn't. Great work!
Any reference for the skull?

P.S.
If that's a goatee beard then it's a lousy one :D

Equilibrix (Level 5 Captain) at 1/20/2008 3:20:42 AM
Amazing piece and great improvement here! Everything on this pixel works fine for me, it's simply beautiful!

tomic (Level 10 Lieutenant General) at 1/20/2008 2:42:29 AM

great great piece. some parts (especially the horns) still look a bit sketchy, but meh. background works for me too. so, faved.

edit: and i want one of these t-shirts too =)


Reo (Level 9 Executioner) at 1/20/2008 1:56:21 AM
I want it on my t-shirt!

Lollige (Level 9 Necrophiliac) at 1/20/2008 1:10:55 AM
Awesome! Huge improvement, and not only because of its size and colors!
and I allready liked that origional!
However, thisone is maybe a bit to evil for me, in that I liked the original more

Great stuff!
