Title: Horned God
Post by: surt on November 20, 2006, 05:00:26 am
After an ungodly long time without a pixel, I thought I'd see if I have any pixels left in me, so I'm rather rusty.

A Horned God type thing. 2^4 colours.

Roughed the silhouette and shading with tablet then cleaned and detailed with mouse.

The pixels are within you!!!

Great texture. Eyes look good too. The purple perimeter is kind of odd. Nose position creates this strange illusion where it seems like it's a little flat on the face.

I'm still very fond of the surtur lineart you did a while back, btw. Welcome back, and I hope to see more!

About the purple perimeter, I just wanted to get more out of those palette indexes then kind of liked the result.
I think it works better on a dark background:

I think I know what you mean about the nose. I'll try and fix.

Thanks Ryona.

Worked on the nose a bit and added version without purple outlighting.
