I didn't say I wasn't going to finish it, I said I wasn't going to pixel it. It's finished, it's just not pixel art.
Those sentences just confused the hell out of me. Uhm, would the first sentence imply that you ARE going to finish it? The latter statement contradicts your first sentence: "It's finished, it's just not pixel art." What? The first sentence basically read as "I did NOT say I was NOT GOING to finish it, I said I was NOT going to pixel it." the "nots" kind of cancel each other out, I guess. I can see how someone may have gotten confused by your meaning. Although I think I know what you were trying to say. I thought that if you weren't going to finish it, it would be best written as " I said I wasn't going to finish it, nor pixel it. I like it as is."
On the subject of disrespecting one's wishesl, at least he did it in this forum where you could see it. And I'm sure he didn't mean to offend you, Helm. But I guess Gil should have respected Helm's wishes, as it is his property. Oh well, no harm done, right?
I like the colored mask, but I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how the real face looks like. I can barely make out the eye (if I'm seeing correctly...) Hopefully there is a finished product in the future, so I can tell what exactly it is, or what's going on in the background.
Oh, HMC, that's great! What type of medium did you use? It kind of reminds of Ptoing's digital style. One of these days, when I'm not so poor in the money bags region, I'm going to give traditional art a shot, again. I still draw/sketch every now and again, but it's nothing to shout about. Really, some of the stuff here is so Inspiring...
