This is really putting the art in pixelart. Such a simple, but beautiful piece.
Thanks everyone.
Mathias: Very little really. This is what I would consider a doodle. Little to no thinking at all.
Outstanding, I don't know what else to say. This is a rare beauty.
Your choices show great wisdom, comrade. Your shape play is beyond me. How much principle / theory did you intentionally employ here? Or does this just come naturally with your experience?
its wonderful in its simplicity; a good example of how the right composition and color choices affect the emotional outcome. one of the best pieces ive seen in months. congrats!
I see a potential KingKong remake here... (not the face, but the guy's outline and bg)
That's quite pretty. Run it through a vectoriser and make it 1680x1050 and it can be my new desktop!
Not to put it mildly, nearly thirteen years later & this is still a masterful, visually striking & utterly distinct style.
