I really love the white hornish things protruding from the back to look like wings :)

Dyl (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 8/25/2012 4:52:24 PM

sweet work

had0c (Level 1 Rookie) at 5/23/2011 9:24:13 PM

think it would look even better if you had more then 30 colours and removed the black outlining and replaced it with a more natural blending

RuizV (Level 1 Jukyu) at 12/11/2010 5:48:27 AM

AWESOME ART!

ramazing (Level 3 Sergeant) at 5/28/2009 2:34:53 AM

the body is cool, but the face looks strange...

BeboTheBum (Level 1 Rookie) at 5/16/2009 10:34:19 PM

It's alright, the muscles look like a shitload of pebbles and the shading isnt very exellent. Compared to other work its not as good but, it is good =]

DanielHyaku (Level 3 Enforcer) at 12/16/2008 12:49:18 PM

Very good. Reminds me of the Magi Nation illustrations.

Heart Puppetere (Level 1 Gangster) at 9/16/2008 7:33:01 PM

Lately all the pixel art is great.

Fel (Level 4 Ensign) at 12/15/2007 11:24:49 AM

Awesome colors, lineart, everything. Great work.

theguy (Level 6 Hitman) at 5/23/2007 2:20:32 AM

Nicely done it's so smooth and depthy and for just one color at each place you did the AA it looks very smooth.

jedzed (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 4/10/2007 1:23:36 AM

jeez louise thats awesome i cant believe i just discovered it and i love that style its cool

bunbun (Level 1 Quiet One) at 5/25/2006 8:57:26 PM

Kay, I was just saying it look like a foruk. lolz

Di0xygen (Level 4 Mercenary) at 5/25/2006 6:53:08 AM

@bunbun yeah it was magination i think. The friend of naso simply did a fanart and naso made a pixel lineart out of it. I modified it a bit, but yeah. It is magination <3

bunbun (Level 1 Quiet One) at 5/24/2006 9:21:49 PM

The character is ver y ... MagiNationy. ;P I wouldn't doubt if this was inspired by it.

Dio Weaver (Level 1 White Belt) at 4/11/2006 9:19:56 AM

Nice

REO THE FOX (Level 8 Shodan) at 3/16/2006 4:11:49 AM

Ghost (Level 1 Seaman) at 1/27/2006 6:24:48 PM

The bow kicks ass

Ghost (Level 1 Seaman) at 1/26/2006 2:34:50 PM

You are AMASING

fil_razorback (Level 5 Lieutenant) at 12/17/2005 2:44:01 AM

You're the best :D

7LegionArmy (Level 1 Depressed) at 12/8/2005 1:47:47 PM

Yah really good design.

TheChaindog (Level 4 Murderer) at 11/19/2005 4:41:56 AM

Looks really good, I like the design.

inkspot (Level 4 Button Man) at 10/23/2005 8:27:13 AM

AA is the easiest part usually but the character itself is too messy. I couldn't figure out where that stick is stanging, it semed like it was in the creatures leg but as I stared the picture some time more, I noticed that there was actually a glumpy hand. Right now the body parts seem to be on the same level and that makes it messy and hard to understand at first glimpse.

Zoomrix (Level 1 Intern) at 8/11/2005 11:03:06 PM

Sweet AA'ing skill bud! Good job.

n3rmin (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/7/2005 8:07:51 AM

Haha, I also know the guy who made the original artwork :D Cool, really great work

kms375 at 7/10/2005 10:06:16 AM

amazing

Di0xygen (Level 4 Mercenary) at 7/7/2005 8:49:29 AM

@Jaeden - Thank you for the comment, its always an honor to receive feedback from someone of your skills, yes its somehow a forest minotaur, he have moose woods, with bufallo horns. hes not realated to taurens tho

@Xero - Thank your for the comment, the string is a crystal string, very thin and very solid, almost unbreakable. :P

Xero (Level 1 Depressed) at 7/6/2005 8:52:34 PM

whoah, this is REALLY well done, i especially love how you did the bow.. the only thing I don't like is that the string on the bow is only a 2 pixel thick line and I think it looks as if it would snap, but very well done, i love it.

Jaeden (Level 4 Team Leader) at 7/5/2005 8:51:59 AM

Too cool, wonderful piece, even tones, great lineart, good light sources, (upper left and upper rear yes?)

looks like a Taur... .what ever those horde things in warcraft are... I blame my husband -_-

Di0xygen (Level 4 Mercenary) at 7/5/2005 6:17:36 AM

@The B.O.B - thank your for the comment, and those white things behind, i dont honestly know what they are, it was a friend of naso that made the drawing, naso made the lineart and i colored it, so i dont actuually know what the white things are, i interpreted it as tribal bones used maybe to carry a flag during war or something like that,But i think at first they were supposed to be wingless wings.

@Tamzqueen Thank you, those pixel muscles could rip a man apart :P

tamzqueen (Level 1 Rookie) at 7/5/2005 2:23:22 AM

God look at his pixel muscles! lol great shading and colour choice. Very damn nice

The B.O.B. (Level 11 Master Assassin) at 7/5/2005 12:18:23 AM

I loves it. The design of the elk-thing is kewl. One pregunta though, home slice. What the B-jizzle is the white stuff behind him. It could be something obvious, but I just can't figure it out. So please, help a beaner out.

Saiklor (Level 1 Depressed) at 7/4/2005 10:19:52 PM

yay for big pixel art! yay!!

Di0xygen (Level 4 Mercenary) at 7/3/2005 10:58:05 PM

@ Darkauron - Actually its not very hard to pixel that way, you simply need a good knowledge of colors, antialiasing and lighsources, after that its simply go on with the flow. You use your sense of coherance to chek if things are good or not, and you work with colors a lot, and hues to give nice effects. then you antialias your shades to make them smooth, and you get with a wonderful image that you can be proud of.. well thats my way of doing things.

Thanks for your comments :D

DarkAuron (Level 2 Quiet One) at 7/3/2005 10:50:53 PM

Wow. All that blends in wonderfully, very very good! I wish I could do pixel art that large, but alas I work in the tiny sprite field. Nothing big at all. Bleh. Isometric art might be my key to getting larger but I can't really figure out what to do in iso..

Di0xygen (Level 4 Mercenary) at 7/3/2005 9:20:54 PM

@Sedgemonkey - Well thank you, im very proud of me, at the end of my second day of work (3 hours the first, 5 hours non-stop the second) well at the end of my 5 hours.. i was soo brain burned, working like a robot

@ Garage inc. - your sure to see more of me around here, ill post as much as i can :D

@ Naso - haha thank you.. hall of fame dont make me laugh :D

@ Lawrance - Purple shades is my master and i love using dramatic hue switch in shading, thanks for the comment

@ Fr0st - Well thank you for this very expressive feeling sharing with us :P hehe

@ Wolverine - thank you

Carnivac (Level 8 Shodan) at 7/3/2005 4:05:58 PM

Just plain lovely

fr0st (Level 4 Killer Klown) at 7/3/2005 2:02:40 PM

Thats All I need to describe my feelings on this piece...

Lawrence (Level 10 Operative) at 7/3/2005 12:16:11 PM

I'm very fond of the shading technique on this, the way you AA the different shades. He looks like a pretty cool character too. Nice piece, this.

..::Naso::.. (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 7/3/2005 11:39:26 AM

Oh and i forgot to add, i think this one should be in the hall of fame =D

..::Naso::.. (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 7/3/2005 11:37:44 AM
