a tall-pixel experiment. will prolly never touch them again. :) the lighting is not really consistent, the palette kind of hasted, and the background doodle left jaggy as it was where i started. . . but this is where i felt i should stop. enjoy! alternate palette version: http://stuckinthe90s.eu/pixels/midibot2.png

Nice robot, great colors chosen, and this works great with the tall pixels!

Good sh*t ! ;) Reminds me Amiga days and oldskool graphics.

Lovely, you did a really good job on this.

Stickman (Level 5 Detective) at 10/12/2009 11:26:45 AM

Nice! I prefer this pallete. Feels like acrylics

Malor (Level 4 Button Man) at 10/12/2009 4:00:59 AM

Tall pixels are exactly what they sound like.. they're pixels which occupy 2 "normal" pixel's hieght, while still having the width of one "normal" pixel.

crow (Level 1 Rookie) at 10/11/2009 6:04:44 PM

what are tall pixels?

strangles (Level 1 Rookie) at 10/11/2009 12:35:54 PM

This is great work. I love your all works.

I like how the keyboard is a paino keyboard

ptoing (Level 7 Underboss) at 10/11/2009 11:32:23 AM

Nice stuff. Some of the aa is a bit blurry in places.

Ky3bMu4 (Level 7 Assassin) at 10/11/2009 9:00:50 AM

Amazing!

Manupix (Level 5 Assistant Manager) at 10/11/2009 5:15:34 AM

Wow, this is amazing stuff! Fav'd!

Only thing, the fingers shading stands out rough, even banding.

Both palettes are good, I think I like this one more, but not by much.

Great work Skurwy, much love <3

Skurwy87 (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 10/11/2009 12:56:36 AM

thank you everyone!

that's an idea, mathias! if only id had it posted in a wip thread before id surely go for it! :) you should try tall pixels some day, its kind of funny when you see all the tricks you have learned before are not applicable in places. again, i had to work simultaneously on tall and normal pixel sizes.

niteroach, hehehe, thats a weird fixation but you know, i love it! :D

sharprm (Level 4 Deputy) at 10/11/2009 12:09:45 AM

looks good!

NiteRoach (Level 1 Rookie) at 10/10/2009 8:48:07 PM

I want 'his' head to take a picture of me holding a pumpkin.... I don't know why.

Artic (Level 4 Shichikyu) at 10/10/2009 8:29:26 PM

This is....

Perfect.

Dex (Level 11 Psychopath) at 10/10/2009 8:14:31 PM

great colors, great pixeling, great idea... great everything. <3

Mathias (Level 2 Kukyu) at 10/10/2009 7:25:22 PM

I like it a lot. It's amusing. I've never had the desire to tackle tall pixels, wide pixels are not so bad, though. Only bugger is the human forearm, just doesn't seem to mesh well with the chunky robotic figure; would be funny if his hand was clearly not designed for playing that keyboard. Great job.

ATM (Level 1 Rookie) at 10/10/2009 6:51:04 PM

This lines are so fantastic! And so smooth, so melty...

Ummm....I admired your pixel arts.

Dr D (Level 2 Kukyu) at 10/10/2009 6:38:59 PM

Amazing pixel work, it's not even noticeable that it's really made up of tall pixels.

Great work!

Peeter (Level 6 Hitman) at 10/10/2009 6:19:51 PM

Great colors
