For ryan-gfx's totem pole project. The totem concept was created by So-lou, I just pixelled it. ^^ As I'm sure we all here are aware, this is Jack Skellington and Zero from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. Perfect movie, love it to death. Anyway, enjoy folks! (oh, and here's a small animation of the progress: click to see!)

@Deathmoon412

There was going to be another part on top of this part. so no use in texturing the top.

deathmoon412 (Level 1 Gangster) at 8/11/2009 11:30:23 AM

Great! The only thing I dislike is the top of the stump.

lorderon (Level 1 Rookie) at 6/11/2009 2:57:46 PM

aka_rudi (Level 1 Thug) at 12/28/2008 6:29:29 AM

I wish you would do that thing in a 'non-wood-texture'

JackDark (Level 1 Rookie) at 12/22/2005 2:53:45 PM

Superb! It would a swell bookend too.

ih8pepsi (Level 1 Quiet One) at 10/8/2005 7:11:39 PM

It's wonderful! It must have been challenging to make all of the sepia tones stand out individually like that...

Evari (Level 1 Rookie) at 10/8/2005 4:58:34 AM

Aw, I seemed to have missed this one when I saw the entire totem pole on deviantART ;_;. Anyway, this is great!! The fact that you used the wood itself to recreate a movie concept is very clever. Well done!

DeathByChris (Level 4 Mercenary) at 8/17/2005 10:26:05 AM

really well done.

DarkAuron (Level 2 Quiet One) at 8/15/2005 3:03:20 PM

I saw NBC on the big screen about 2 years ago. It rocked o_o

Rifts (Level 2 Corporal) at 8/15/2005 2:09:40 PM

lovely AAing i so badly wanna see the movie again :/

mynameis_KAT (Level 1 Quiet One) at 8/15/2005 2:01:00 PM

i think this is sooo awesome, you're a great pixel artist, i can only hope that i can be as good as you, etc, etc,

i tried pixeling jack the other, it came out like CRAP!!! i need to practice. how long have you been pixeling?

zilben (Level 1 Hired Gun) at 8/14/2005 10:54:17 PM

I love that movie, dang... i havent seen it in like 10 years... i gotta rent it somehow. Good job on the textures.

iSTVAN (Level 8 Cannibal) at 8/14/2005 5:43:34 PM

...1ucas hadnt mentioned Burton until after I made my comment...but there's no way Sedge and So-lou could have known that...so...lets just move on shall we? Yeah? As its really not that important.

1ucas (Level 5 Soldier) at 8/14/2005 1:50:37 PM

Really? I'd like to see how you do things, sedge.

sedgemonkey (Level 11 Master Assassin) at 8/14/2005 12:42:18 PM

Thanks so much for including that animation link 1ucas. You and I are so different in the way we work.

As for the TNBC thing.... I think 1ucas did credit Tim Burton and the movie there iSTVAN.

So-lou (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/13/2005 8:28:21 PM

iSTVAN, that's crazy, does that mean I have to mention Tim Burton in my NBC pieces, oh and not to mention tonnes of other movie credits for my other work? Besides, Lucas said 'As I'm sure we all here are aware, this is Jack Skellington and Zero from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. Perfect movie, love it to death.' therefore it's not an issue. How strange to nitpick like that, dude, seriously.

Lucas, you know how I feel about this totem. :D <3

necromancer928 (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/11/2005 6:59:11 PM

OMG I THINK THIS ONE IS THIS BEST ONE. maybe its just because im obsessed with that movie.

Psychotic_Carp (Level 1 Depressed) at 8/11/2005 6:38:13 PM

that brought a smile to my face :) nice work sir

TheCaveman (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/11/2005 8:48:50 AM

NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS! YAY! very nice

Fatboy72 (Level 1 Thug) at 8/10/2005 11:07:47 PM

Thats one of the best I've seen yet.

iSTVAN (Level 8 Cannibal) at 8/10/2005 7:49:37 PM

ryan-gfx: I just thought it would be proper to mention Burton incase anyone out there hadnt seen the film. It doesn't matter though because 1ucas has updated the description. I love the progress animation aswell, very handy for anyone out there who wants to learn your technique. Top stuff.

Lt. Hippo-Cat (Level 1 Thug) at 8/10/2005 1:32:22 PM

That is so wonderful, words would ruin it.

Very nice.

The B.O.B. (Level 11 Master Assassin) at 8/10/2005 11:10:51 AM

Loved the movie, and this is damn near close the real thing...the texture is perfect in every single way...Some would even say....Godly....good job...

Faktablad (Level 6 SWAT) at 8/10/2005 8:29:37 AM

Absolutely beautiful. Unmatched in the totem project.

Ireland (Level 1 Depressed) at 8/10/2005 3:44:41 AM

BEST TOTEM EVER! Im sorry i have said this about a couple but nothing, i mean no totem could top this. Absolutely amazing im in love with that movie, and i just cant get over this. 5/5 +fav

ryan-gfx (Level 1 Depressed) at 8/10/2005 1:13:00 AM

Actually iSTVAN, if you think about it, it was sohpie's concept, in context. Sure she didn't create the concept of the christmas door, but she did come up with the concept of putting it on the totem pole in this fashion, and thats why 1ucas gave her credit.

Absolutely love it

1ucas (Level 5 Soldier) at 8/9/2005 11:36:57 PM

There ya go then. Thanks.

iSTVAN (Level 8 Cannibal) at 8/9/2005 10:40:38 PM

With all do respect, you can't really give So-lou credit for 'creating' the concept. 'Suggesting' would have been a better choice of words. And it wouldnt go astray to mention Tim Burton and the title 'A Nightmare Before Christmas' in your description.

Talking aside, this is a great display of skill! I havent actually checked out this project yet, just a few of the entrys submitted here. But I love this one. Awesome wood texture and awesome dithering over all :)

Aleiav (Level 2 Quiet One) at 8/9/2005 10:00:40 PM

You're awesome at wood texture. *thumbs up* Awesome totem.

Cryssy (Level 2 Peon) at 8/9/2005 9:53:27 PM

This is absolutely one of my most favorite totems of this entire project :)

Marshi (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/9/2005 9:43:48 PM

Very nice! Popular, yet still great, theme too.
