It;s anice picture. Colours look a bit c64 :D
I don't think this is cyclone ripoff. As far as I remember, cyclone does that diagonal thingie.
Also he uses brilliance2.0 (best amiga pixelling program) with transparency, which gives characteristic results.

I love the use of colors in this.

dither mode is a mode in Pro Motion ( a pixel prog I recommend ) where it automatically draws your chosen brush in dither patterns you select. I usually only use 25% and 50% dithers, and gradient between the two by hand.

Haha - i think Slay's a little bit jealous. I dont get where you say "dither mode"?? Very nice none the less.

lol you remind me of johnny depp :P

But in all seriousness, awesome.

very nice piece helm , the Face pose is awesome .

 

Hah, burn, slay does cheat, even if he doesn't want to admit it.

Take it easy, Helm, don't let the one who have no idea what pixelart is make you so angry.

No wait, seriously now, slay. Please teach me in the ways of smear and smudge tool. Teach me how to pixel 'everything by my own hand' like you do in all your great pieces! I'm eager to learn!

hehe slay, I'll try to do better next time

wow! I love the detail!!! very awesome!

Hmm, not so good and really small imitation od great Cyclone style...

I get a boner looking at this.

Because of the pixel technique...really...

*cough*

Awesome piece, as always.

Wow, Looks much better.

Thanks. Be sure to check out Cyclone's gallery in www.gfxzone.org . I'm not doing anything new.

I love the colours on this one. They're so vivid and the mix of them all gives much life to the portrait. Also, the eyes are really well done, and the beard/moustache and nose too. You managed to put alot of important details into this small portrait. Well done! Most definitely a 5 and added to my favourites.

thats quality man, self ports aint easy

Badassbill, error fixed, I think. And thanks, guys.

Language, dude.

Helm, you are hot.

i fucking love this man.

It has a wonderfull arangment of colours and I love the patterns on there. The only thing that I can see that is even remotly off putting to me is that the facial hair on the chin doesnt realy blend into the skin, Unless that is the affect you were looking for. Definatly a 5 ratind and a favorite from me.
