Mr A :: Pixel Art Detail

Your different points of vue are all interesting and stuff , Ive got only one thing to say: art IS masturbation. That is a fact.

Fair enough dogmeat, I must agree with you, truth be told.
The reason I had a diferent reaction to this piece is that it looks like Edgar Allen Poe to me and has enough oddity from the dithering technique used that any other explanation would have failed.

Also, in the real world artists making it up in front of the customer/patron/yourself is also an abosolute.
We are whores in the end and letting the client/John hear what they need to is just as valid.

Wow Jal, I expected a completely different way of thinking from you. In the professional world ( which this is not ) you absolutely must know how to explain your work to a customer, a patron, yourself, otherwise you're just masturbating.

He looks pretty decomposed. Nice idea!

I'm not really sure what this is about, though. Some explanation of this art in the form of... more art would be nice.

I beg to differ with dogmeat on this, art can just be itself.
If all art required explanations we'd be LiteratureJoint.com

Er, okay but it will be hard to describe, because i absolutely dont know what it is myself. Im starting drawing something, see what comes. And its all. Besides I dont think an image of any kind needs explanation, if it does then its a bad image (pixel drawing painting whatever)

But as we are on a communauty website stuff I bet we have to share a bit.
There was only a main idea behind this: I had seen a comment somewhere on PJ saying something like ''It needs more AA, okay AA is no fun to do but its a must etc''. I thought a few things: art is not about beauty, about something totally cleaned up, why do it if its boring, and why add such a thing when you have already told all you wanted to tell...
So I decided to do something quickly without AA. It turned out into this. I wanted to call it Mr AAA (Anti-anti-aliasing) but since it was not really obvious that i did not wanted it to be AA'd, I just kept Mr A, because he needed a name.
But its still mostly a totally random piece.

Im glad youre intersted about the reasons of this piece by the way.

Mille: little more explanation would be nice, I'm getting tired with folks posting art with no description. If you don't have the ability to describe your own art, it becomes a major problem if you're a professional.

No idea what this is, or what its about.

Good job.
I think you could add would be some texture to the top right and left corners,
And a background that has a little more detail.
