You may not believe it, but my gallery has been around for five years this month! In celebration, I revisited one of my oldest pieces:

http://www.pixeljoint.com/pixelart/5518.htm

I tried to make the new version capture the eureka moment more triumphantly. Spending time sketching variations of it on paper helped the final image to closely represent the one in my head. The colors are fairly optimized with a simple, split-ramp palette. No dithering, cuz that's for suckas, yo.

Except for his grin, his hair and right foot really emphasizes the scene! Great colours!

Hurrah for five years of kick ass art, like this great piece on display here

Damn man, that's fantastic! You're such a natural. That pose and design gives Dr Wallace SO much character. Even the background is stupendous. I cannot fathom how you managed to turn bad perspective into whacky-but-working perspective like that, but you've definitely achieved it..

I shall rate this a 5, favourite it, rate it 5 again and then favourite it once more.

Please tell me you'll turn this into an adventure game!

I love the happiness that comes from him. You can almost feel it radiating off the screen. and the spelling of 'clew' is an awesome touch.

fantastic. I love the ripples his feet makes in the carpet.

This is great! Beatiful execution of a great idea. The text confused me for a moment, the C looks like a capital I to me (serif). The shadow below Mr. Wallace seems to be a rather odd shape, it doesn't look quite right to me. Beyond that, no complaints. I love the colors.

heheh i like the humor :) the perspective is very confusing where the two angles in the bg meet though. bottom of the book case looks like its going off in a diff direction than the top.

Nice stuff. I like the picture of the nude \o/

The sig is a bit too large tho I think. It distracts somewhat.
