Top Pixel Art - May 2012 (#2)
Too bad its the last day of this being on the front page...I have loved seeing this all week long when I login.
Here's hoping for a surprise on the Monthly Top10 
So beautiful!
It really does feel like the comic books.
Also, I posted this elsewhere in a "show off art your found thread"

In case you want to see what others think
That is so cool it makes me want to cry ;D
This should be made into a real game :D
Yes. YES. YES!
Might've benefitted from another parallax layer behind the midground, but otherwise great. Love those bouncy walkcycles.
I love it, especially the palette. So rich.
I logged in just to fave this. great translation of the inking style to pixels.
Ho-ly crap. My favorite characters/comic in the world made into a game? I would die, but die oh so happy. As others have said, you translated Watterson's style into pixels PERFECTLY. Thank you!

Man, you totally nailed the style! Incredible! The more I look at this the more I like it. Great memories attached to Calvin and Hobbes
This is Brilliant! Love the comics. You grabbed the style really nicely!
Wow, perfect interpretation of a pair of favorite characters!
Great piece! Really cartoonish.
Have you tried not to scroll the whole dithering pattern of the ground? It may ruin the feeling of movement a bit, but it could be more comfortable for the eye.
Incredibly great, stylish and with a lot of goodness . I want to play it!
awesome job, love it, especially the parallax version
Thank to all of you <3 ! I'll try to imagine some levels (like the Spiff Level, and definitively a Snow level)
I really love how you captured the overall style of the comic.
I've wanted a Calvin & Hobbes game since I was a kid! I imagined it being more like Mario 64 but this looks amazing. Such great and perfect representation of the style at such a small resolution. Hobbes can't be taller than 32 px and that's impressive!
Fantastic!
My only suggestion is maybe stagger their walk cycles by a couple frames.
Yes indeed. But I chose that way, not so shocking for a fake game ;)
You could always combine sprites, no? There are many games on the Genesis with A LOT bigger sprites.
@ptoing : You're right about Hobbes, he should have been taller, but the maximum sprites size of the Sega Genesis is (normally) 32x32 pixels. I cheated a little bit ;)
This looks really nice, tho Hobbes is a bit small. I think he is taller in the comics.
Aside from that I have to say that I really highly respect Bill Waterson for not wanting to have ANY merchandise of Calvin and Hobbes. I think there is one T-Shirt they made for an exhibition at the MOMA, but that's it. Everything else you can buy with C&H on it is illegal.
Wow, this really is great. I too love the dithering. I kind of like the version on your website more, the one where the characters walk through the scnene. More my preference though.
@Jalonso: Thx a lot! (I looked at your work: it's absolutely amazing !)
This is awesome! From the start screen alone I can envision the whole game... it has made my day!
The dithering (could have used a little more) is actually a smart design choice as it evoques a newpaper comic print style.
Perfectly pixelled --- fav'd
this is very nice! I just don't like the dithering in the background.
This is an excellent translation of the comic's style. Welcome to Pixel Joint!
EDIT N/A
well done
