This shows how incredibly innovative people on this platform are. The characters created over the past years are enormeously recognizeable. Just with a small number of pixels, you immediately recognize them. I mean, Dr. Bees ist just a bunch of black pixels but it is absolutely clear without doubt who it is. Or look at Hubert Cumberdale or Ritz!
Really remarkable. Your work is a great tribute to that!
Doctor bee's noticed a pico day pile with a distinct lack of beeeeeees. nothing an army of BEES cant fix
I've lost count on how many character concepts you've made. The're both likeable and versatile! Maybe I missed it but are you creating a card game out of that? I'm not particularily into such games but just out of curiosity.
just creating for creative's sake right now, thanks for the kind words!

This is fairly recent. You even got meatball man! Very nice.

Only 64x64, 4 colors but you can tell the movement of every muscle. This is some pixel art perfection! Imagine seeing this im 1980 on an Atari. Or heck even on a game boy in 1990. It is superb!
its 50 by 50, and not counting the background each mon is using 3 colors... unless i messed up somewhere.
and i often wonder what those consoles would look like if they could handle more frames
Awesome interpretation. Beautiful shading. Love the inclusion of Germ. Always reminds me of Globi.
oo dang! Hey Thanks alot! ^_^
The shadows are bold!
Your style to me is like a painting, a true still image captured out of a virtual artistic world. Motionless but vividly tree dimensional. As if the scene itself was unable to decide if it wants to present itself as a pure black and white illustration or let the light flow through and become reality.
Really amazing.
Thank you so much, pal. This is the highest praise I've ever gotten. It means so much!
Very scary. Quite eye catching.
One thing though: The shadow confuses me. Where exactly is the light? The rays come from top left, the glare in the spiders body and the shoulder of the man tend to a light in the top right and the shadow of the fully visible leg let's us assume to have a light from above but behind the spider... I Imagine this would be quite nice with much darker shadows and the light further below and farther away. Or from behind the man.
Thank you for the critique! I really appreciate anyone's input!
I did this like 3 years ago, so I don't exactly remember the mindset for the lighting, but I think when I was setting up lighting I made two sources? I uses 3d software to rig lights and stuff to help me get a better idea of what I want, and I think that's what I did here. It probably doesn't make any sense, real world wise, but I tend to light my comic like a movie. It's not typically realistic haha Like a Quentin Tarantino movie. I have gotten better I think! Hopefully, the newer pages would be less confusing.
Laaaa! Beautiful, but a little confusing. Crow and snake are cute but they fill the negative space which is needed to make the main figure stand out in my opinion. Why not making the image landscape, putting snake and crow on a small chest or a chair left to Lindo and add a hat in front of them? Would allow you to add a nice background too. Would love to see a simplified version of that pose in a different style.
But that is just very hich-end critic.
Nice critique!
a landscape would make the image breathe a bit. more information moving forward! thanks for the comment!

If you stare at the image long enought, the rain falls upwards and the water flows back into the drain. Once you have that impression, it is almost impossible to reverse gravity again.
Haha OMG you're right! What is this gravity sorcery?! :D
