Pixelation Secret Santa 2009 for heyy13

She listed her likes as:

Rays
Eating (by extension food :P )
Star Craft

This piece really was a learning experience, battling my problems with large, flat planes and straight lines, as well as implicit texture (Cones and wafer wings). I was unfortunately unable to pixel a decent Tiger Ray (ended up as blobs on a stick) so I invented a new type for ya :D

Various references were:
SquirrelSquid's gallery and this Wikpedia page for nebulae, plus this black hole image.

EDIT: If anyone thinks the prev could be an epilepsy risk I'll slow & tone it down ASAP D:

First time I looked I thought the top right ray was a dinosaur, nonetheless lovely piece.

 Those rays are kick ass. Love the circle dither on them, it works really well. I almost wish you left out the space ship, because every other element is fantastic. The ship is only OK.

 @sharprm: That's about right, the screen is dome-ish and made of caramel :P

@All: thanks :3

the reflected can is wrong. you would only see it if the mirror was angled 45 degrees up.

Very odd, but in a nice way Very nicely made background in particular, I think.

I LOVE it. It's amazing. Really really amazing, especially the rays, even if they're more like you're traditional manta. :D <333333

I got that the snowman was a decal after looking at it for a bit, but perhaps the colors are just too contrasty, so it sticks out like it's meant to be sitting on top. If the colors of the snowman blended in with that of the ship itself, then perhaps it would look more like a decal. The outline of the snowman should probably not have quite as much contrast as the detailing that's meant to be 3 dimensional, in any case.

 An Apatosaurus? :P

I never mind CC, probably just won't change anything on this XD. The snowman's meant to be a decal-type thing, and the hat on an angle (Brim is out of whack with the body of the hat tho'). I wasn't really sure how cluttered to make it, migrations are often massively crowded affairs and the other stuff is pretty dark :B

Is this the new type of ray you invented?

Anyway, 'tis an awesome piece; the foodship is great and I especially love the bottom ray, but the snowman looks very flat and its hat is out of perspective. Also, I think things might be a bit too crowded. I  hope you don't mind me giving some C&C, since Secret Santa is very much done and over with now D:
