Finally this thing is done! I started it sometime earlyish 2006 and then did not work on it for ages, then picked it up again in November 2007 and then again a long pause until a few days ago where I managed to finish it up to where it is now. Overall the hours spent should still be in double digits \o/

Might edit it a bit more, but I wanted to get it on here, it's basically done anyway.

PS: Follow the yellow brick arrow.

I love the lights, and he looks so innocent and happy!!


eckered (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 6/21/2009 8:58:22 AM

 holy shit haha


Pumpkinbot (Level 2 Peon) at 5/25/2009 5:51:05 PM

It looks happy. :D *joins robot in demolishing town* 5/5


BeboTheBum (Level 1 Rookie) at 5/16/2009 11:22:23 PM

PWNZ lvl 999


mappower (Level 1 Depressed) at 3/25/2009 10:46:55 AM

This is indeed very cool. A happy nice robot destroying an entire town. Awesome!


PanicBomber (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 3/15/2009 1:29:26 PM

this is also a very nice piece of pixel, i like the happyness and chaos mixed :D


Tadashi Blossom (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/4/2009 6:54:47 AM

I LOVE how he's just so happily wreaking havoc. This is delightful, Ptoing.


Muckuruxx (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/3/2009 8:14:49 PM

Instant favorite!


Skurwy87 (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 2/18/2009 6:44:48 AM
Probably the most surprising piece I've ever seen! Love the use of the "negative space", too! ;)

Sander (Level 1 Rookie) at 2/18/2009 4:02:41 AM
Awesomeness!
One thing which slightly bothers me is that the left side looks somewhat flat compared to the rest.

Ar. (Level 3 Stalker) at 2/17/2009 2:54:23 PM
Mindblowing. One of  "Must fav" works on PJ. :)

"Follow the yellow brick arrow."... Nothing be the same again...

BlackDragon (Level 11 Godfather) at 2/16/2009 10:25:24 PM
Stop being so awesome D:

Krysis (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 2/16/2009 4:27:38 AM

Beyond awesome. This is just legendary. faved!


Seeg (Level 1 Gangster) at 2/15/2009 10:46:25 PM
I looooove this.

Rooster (Level 5 Captain) at 2/14/2009 2:39:50 PM
technique is good. very good. but... it hasn't something.... i don't know, it is so "dry", have all what it should have, but i feel it is unfinished, little empty..... i don't know.... :/

ptoing (Level 7 Underboss) at 2/14/2009 10:01:24 AM
Cheers, again. Ails, the mouth has AA, but could probably be a bit smoother. I will probably go over this at some point in the near future. Panda has good points as well.

Ails (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 2/14/2009 9:24:02 AM
Awesome (liked the flying cars XD)
As a constructive comment, the only part that misses AA is the mouth, you should fix that ; )

Panda (Level 3 Stalker) at 2/14/2009 9:04:33 AM
Heh, finally you decided to finish it.
You know my crits on this (hand on the right looks a bit blurry, and you could put window silhouettes on the front row of buildings).
And now that I see it again, maybe you could fix the angle of the propeller on the airplane.
Other than that pretty nice. Looks awesome (same goes for the "negative space")  :)

mogeeoh (Level 1 Rookie) at 2/13/2009 5:25:04 PM
This is truly fantastic, and yeah, it screams to be modelled in lowpoly!! Skyline is amazing, i love the sense of distance.

Oh and, unless I'm missing some earlier dialogue, i don't see what is wrong with using flood fill. To ignore the tools available to us would just be silly would it not? I suppose if this is frowned upon by some pixel-ers then fair-dos but i really don't understand the problem with using such things. just my two pence.

ptoing (Level 7 Underboss) at 2/13/2009 2:11:09 PM
Most of the sky is actually pixel by pixel. I'm not even kidding ;)

Lollige (Level 11 Psychopath) at 2/13/2009 2:05:06 PM
The background. Was it done by flood fill or pixel per pixel? ;)

cerealkiller54 (Level 6 Yonkyu) at 2/13/2009 8:45:15 AM

When I first saw the preview I was like, "Hey that's a cool robot with a cool color scheme"
and so I clicked on it and I was like
"HOLY CRAP IT'S AN AWESOME ROBOT WITH A COOL COLOR SCHEME"

Great job on this


ptoing (Level 7 Underboss) at 2/13/2009 5:23:26 AM
Thanks for all the replies :) Actually it's Yos bird, not Yus in this case.

Mirre (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 2/13/2009 2:37:54 AM
Man, you know how awesome I think this is! :D It's epic, that's what it is! Love the little details, like the different types of small cars being scattered all over the place, the plane (so cute and detailed!) and all the other... stuff. Billy! <3

Pocket Clouds (Level 1 Gangster) at 2/13/2009 12:46:59 AM
...don't understand that is a preview icons without preview text...

Pocket Clouds (Level 1 Gangster) at 2/13/2009 12:43:44 AM
Spectacular masterpiece! Beautiful texture bump effect!

skamocore (Level 11 Psychopath) at 2/13/2009 12:20:30 AM
This is the Yus bird's ultimate form :O

surt (Level 10 Maniac) at 2/12/2009 11:08:42 PM
Where is this Yus? I see no Yus! You Lie!

ui_ (Level 1 Rookie) at 2/12/2009 10:09:58 PM
delicious pixel :D thx mister ptoing

big brother (Level 9 Rear Admiral) at 2/12/2009 8:57:14 PM
Always good to see a piece in which the Yus bird lurks...

blueleds (Level 1 Rookie) at 2/12/2009 8:01:50 PM
So awesome!

RoboBOT (Level 6 Commander) at 2/12/2009 7:57:29 PM
Awesome piece. I love the colors and the style.
What I'm not seeing is the significance of the negative space. Or what the yellow brick arrow refers too. Can someone explain? I'm feeling a bit slow today.

SUPAFLOW (Level 3 Stalker) at 2/12/2009 4:54:24 PM
My new wallpaer!

Qbi (Level 1 Rookie) at 2/12/2009 2:38:26 PM
I never comented your work - it's all great - but for this... Man it's one of the coolest work I've ever seen! I love those small cars and people! Number 1 fav! My girlfriend says it's sweet :D

leel (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 2/12/2009 2:23:03 PM
That is the most misleading preview I've ever seen.   I think I might like the surprise even more than I do the pixel itself (which is beautiful as everyone else already said)  :p

Balamoot (Level 9 Necrophiliac) at 2/12/2009 2:22:11 PM
Great work is done! Lovely! )

chess (Level 8 Shodan) at 2/12/2009 1:36:32 PM
Follow the yellow brick arrow!

consider it faved!


Chace (Level 5 Captain) at 2/12/2009 1:29:11 PM
Wow, awesome use of colors and texture.

Zweckform (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 2/12/2009 12:55:55 PM
Nothing to add. All has been said before. Great piece.

exocet (Level 5 Captain) at 2/12/2009 12:27:35 PM
Great picture! Lovely colours!

Opacus (Level 7 Ichikyu) at 2/12/2009 11:21:47 AM
Awesomely awesome.

MashPotato (Level 6 Made) at 2/12/2009 11:19:56 AM
Hehe, a bit of aww and lot of awesome

Quake (Level 2 Hired Gun) at 2/12/2009 10:52:48 AM
I love this :}
All i need to say.

Fuzzyleaves (Level 5 Detective) at 2/12/2009 10:44:08 AM
AMAZING!!! but the reflection on his right left looks to much like the sky and looks like a hole.

big brother (Level 9 Rear Admiral) at 2/12/2009 10:22:31 AM
I forgot to add -- I also like how the sliver of negative space between the foot on the left and the buildings creates a lot of tension. It's clearly the moment right before destruction ensues.

GTK (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 2/12/2009 10:18:42 AM
Oh whao !
This great !

Metaru (Level 8 Brigadier General) at 2/12/2009 10:03:24 AM
its ok tinc, we're all jealous.

philipptr (Level 4 Team Leader) at 2/12/2009 10:03:10 AM
You always come up with new ideas of awesome.

ThereIsNoCure (Level 11 Godfather) at 2/12/2009 9:47:57 AM
Weekly top already?  All that whining for nothing.

Reo (Level 11 Sensei) at 2/12/2009 9:38:09 AM
Happy go lucky!

Hitsuro (Level 1 Gangster) at 2/12/2009 9:28:48 AM
DUDE! GREAT WORK! LIKE IT! ADDED TO FAVORITES!

Fenne (Level 3 Hatchikyu) at 2/12/2009 9:25:52 AM
That's pretty damn hot! Love the colors.

ProgZmax (Level 1 Jukyu) at 2/12/2009 9:15:41 AM

I KNEW I recognized this from irc!  I'm glad you finally finished it, old boy. 

It's brilliant.


Darth Mandarb (Level 8 Brigadier General) at 2/12/2009 8:45:35 AM
Excellent work my friend!!  I love that dithering.

This is, by far, my favorite from you so far.

Kudos.

big brother (Level 9 Rear Admiral) at 2/12/2009 8:08:18 AM
I like the way the angular lines of the robot contrast with the organic shapes of the smoke. Good work!

hotnikkelz (Level 1 Rookie) at 2/12/2009 7:24:53 AM
excellent work. +fav

Antiboton (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 2/12/2009 6:21:47 AM

G R E A T !

Nice details like the foreground (black trash in the front). Airplane and cares are amazing. Lovely preview too.


fawful (Level 5 Rokkyu) at 2/12/2009 5:53:19 AM

Ah,that is just epic!I love it's happy expression as he destroys everything.

6/6!

And fav,brilliant.


Lollige (Level 11 Psychopath) at 2/12/2009 3:59:21 AM
Hello new desktop walpaper!

ptoing (Level 7 Underboss) at 2/12/2009 3:29:06 AM
The negative space was some real work :o

iLKke (Level 8 Cannibal) at 2/12/2009 3:22:37 AM
It's giant robot month!
And apparently last night was finish-your-long-overdue-pixels-night, at least for you and Jamon :D
The colors are pretty much as awesome as a single spread gets, and I love your use of the negative space ;)

Stickman (Level 5 Detective) at 2/12/2009 3:06:21 AM
My days....This really is the best piece in your gallery no doubt. The smile on the robots face is hilarious, as it shows an innocence and a naivety in the expression. I like the fact that you didn't pepper the sky with any elaborate clouds

Fav!

jamon (Level 8 Marshal) at 2/12/2009 2:52:02 AM
Great stuff! nice colors! and big resolution!!!! 8) and CATS! =)

Terley (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 2/12/2009 1:35:55 AM
Haha its so cute, didnt expect this from the preview.

Emanu (Level 3 Chief) at 2/12/2009 1:34:04 AM
man, you are crazy good. much love for robot.

blumunkee (Level 1 Thug) at 2/12/2009 12:35:58 AM
Wow...just...Wow.

sweytie_piy (Level 1 Rookie) at 2/11/2009 11:43:01 PM
this is the greatest thing i have ever seen...

elend (Level 1 Rookie) at 2/11/2009 11:30:02 PM
Wow! Massive Masterpiece. I absolutely love that style (as well as the colors)

sharprm (Level 4 Deputy) at 2/11/2009 10:18:10 PM
Good stuff. Make it into a low poly game.

surt (Level 10 Maniac) at 2/11/2009 8:49:14 PM
Yeah, I meant his right (his left thigh doesn't catch my eye at all), but I had a quick play and couldn't get it any smoother with the existing colours without it getting breaky or bandy.

No big deal, I was digging deep for something to critique.

skamocore (Level 11 Psychopath) at 2/11/2009 8:48:03 PM
Amazing job :D

This has inspired me to continue working on a large piece that I've had sitting around in my WIP folder for ages. Thank you.

Dex (Level 11 Psychopath) at 2/11/2009 8:41:46 PM
Oh, wow, great job ptoing. This is the kind of stuff I like to see from you! =D

Solitaire (Level 1 Depressed) at 2/11/2009 8:41:31 PM
Was not expecting this, but I can't say I'm disappointed. Brilliant work here.

ptoing (Level 7 Underboss) at 2/11/2009 8:30:39 PM
Cheers, for the replies :) Glad you peops like it. Surt, it's pretty much as good as it gets. If I do it otherwise the highlight would get breaky or jaggy. Both of which would be worse. EDIT: Oh wait, do you mean HIS his right, or in the right side of the picture. The right thigh (in pic) highlight is a tad breaky, yeh. That's what I get for pixelling unevenly stepping lines.

surt (Level 10 Maniac) at 2/11/2009 8:25:25 PM
I envy you. My giant robot just sits in his room and mopes all day.

AA on top of his right thigh and top of right foot isn't as smooth as could be, possibly. Otherwise rocking.

Nightmare Maker (Level 6 Made) at 2/11/2009 8:18:50 PM
EPIC O:
Like, instant fav epic.

Metaru (Level 8 Brigadier General) at 2/11/2009 8:11:15 PM
I fainted.                 

Souly (Level 4 Murderer) at 2/11/2009 8:06:43 PM
Holy shit tacos.
I would have settled for a big scene with the small one but BAM.

Insta-win.

Squirrelsquid (Level 4 Shichikyu) at 2/11/2009 7:48:44 PM
EPIC!!! :D *bows down*
