A bit of an oldskool romp. I felt like practicing 'shape-bluffing', a method for adding abstract detail often used when pixeling logos in the days of  teh skene, and also employed by some game artists as well (Dan and Henk, most notably).
I thought I might find the practice useful for game graphics.
Also I kinda missed working with a saucy 16-color ramp :D

Possibly unconsciously influenced by Achewood.
All you asymmetry cultists, enjoy!

Excellent lighting.

AndyOaks (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/18/2008 4:43:15 AM
You have a very clean style.
Reminds me of Dan 'bitmap brothers' Malone artwork.
Great job!

rabidbaboy (Level 4 Shichikyu) at 3/17/2008 10:30:13 PM
The preview has "ilkke" written all over it.
Very nice, you should teach me how to do that.

Pok3' (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/17/2008 11:38:13 AM

Your understanding of shading and the implementation is amazing. Really good work

Rompecabras (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/14/2008 6:25:43 AM

great great great!!! I love that strong edges and the way you managed the colours through them. Smooth!!

And also it seems to be a heavy golden head. Really good and hard work!

Too much knowledge, technique and care here!!

skamocore (Level 9 Necrophiliac) at 3/13/2008 5:18:12 PM
This must be the work of the brainslug...it's causing you to pixel cats instead of dogs :O

tomic (Level 9 Major General) at 3/13/2008 5:17:46 PM

yey, seeing the preview it was obvious who is behind. top-notch as always.. and top-down (in terms of lightsource), why change something your fans are used to =D

metal shading is just awesome, damn, i've recently started a logo here. now, halfway finished watching your piece, i needa work over the whole piece or clarify my letters made of stone, thank you

edit: always thought i don't like cats, but it seems that if they are coated with gold and only consist of a head i want to stick them on my cars gearshift, yey, this one on the gearshift would be awesome =P


skeddles (Level 9 Necrophiliac) at 3/13/2008 5:09:06 PM
Shape-bluffing?! Why are I not know this?!(what is it?)

Great colors... And everything else!

dumbo (Level 8 Guerrilla) at 3/13/2008 5:07:45 PM
Wonderful work here mate...

TheFox (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/13/2008 3:40:19 PM
I love the shading and I love the detail but the face seems kind of off to me. Almost like one side is bigger than the other.

Mykola (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 3/13/2008 3:31:57 PM

HMC (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 3/13/2008 2:48:40 PM
That is pretty amazing, but then again why would I expect anything less.

Doppleganger (Level 5 Rokkyu) at 3/13/2008 2:47:58 PM
That's some kickass pixeling. I do love cats and gold and shapes! Super lovely colors btw. :)
