 I love the use of black, very neat style.

Beautiful as usual, but it seems a little less refined than your normal stuff. Might be the heavier use of black or something

working on a third now (non-slimy though, just the same style), may save them up for a mass entry though.

Correction cure.  Your's is much better, but mine is the sexiest.     lol


user
cure (Level 11 Sensei) at 8/19/2010 4:23:17 PM

well yes, obviously mine is the sexiest.

may have a point on the lack of sliminess, I might go back in and add more speculars or somethin'.


user

Awesome one, great job. Not very slimy though.

Heh, thanks for the nice words but yours is stronger and way sexier (:

user
cure (Level 11 Sensei) at 8/19/2010 3:46:14 PM

I hope that's not so, frostpumpkin's entry was much more original! And no less well-pixelled, only less detailed.


user

user
Slemsvamp (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 8/19/2010 1:54:59 PM

The black shade gives is a nice depth, and it's certainly detailed!


user
dpixel (Level 9 Vice President) at 8/19/2010 1:25:34 PM

How the hell do you know where to put those pixels?  Very nice!

Looks super. Love the shadows.


user

supreme use of colours and great character design... and it looks like a toad with tentacles so I have to love that no matter why...


user
ev149 (Level 4 Murderer) at 8/19/2010 12:38:06 PM

Nice job!  Doesn't seem slimy at first glance, though.  It's only when I zoom in that I notice it.

 cool one!

 Definitely saw Frankie in this piece, but I knew it was made by Cure. Looks great. 


user
cure (Level 11 Sensei) at 8/19/2010 11:36:49 AM

@Niss: updated, hopefully fixed that jagged back.

@Jal: Frankie came to mind while making this. lotsa black, and the somewhat muted palette with bright purples probably adds to it.

Nice work 


user
cure (Level 11 Sensei) at 8/19/2010 11:14:06 AM

@Niss: Yeah, I noticed that problem too, just couldn't think of a fix. good ideas, i'll try 'em out.


user
jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) at 8/19/2010 10:58:52 AM

Snap! Third time I'm fooled...swore it was gonna be by Frankie o.O


user
Niss (Level 4 Deputy) at 8/19/2010 10:11:35 AM

That looks great cure!

Colors and the idea are very cool, my only nitpick might be the jagged look of the back outline on the back - mind, the pixel placing itself is sound there, it only looks jagged because of the large black shading block(the black outline on the front part works fine because of the birght shades next to it). Secondary lightsource or other shading would easily fix that. Just a small nitpick tho.

Adorable slimey bugger!
