CGA is out to hurt you!

on: October 31, 2007, 09:39:26 pm
Started this right after my EGA Faces, but I only got 5 done and then got sidetracked by other things. Finished during the course of the last 3 days.

I found that CGA is a bit of a pain if you wanna do nonstandard stuff (as in change the background colour which is normally black by default).
Still quite happy with the outcome of most palettes tho. Some work more and some less.



If you wanna C&C go ahead, I will note for future stuff, but I will not edit this.

Godamn, your stuff is always so amazing and distinct. I love every little bit of it. Some work a lot better than others, such as the bird man, the pincer beetle looking one and the ant general, but all are still very well done. I think the only one I don't like is the top left corner. It's just out and out bland as hell.

When are we going to see more U-head?

See, I have to keep traditions. Same as in EGA Faces, the first one is the pooest and the 4th is the one which is something that's just a head without a body. Them's the rules.

More U-Head will ensue when I moved back to Germany at the end of this year. Latest date I will set now for more U-Head stuff is January 2008.

Really good but the french mime is maybe too much like a skull. Also, squid guy is a bit too abstract for my tastes, could read as busty headless tentacle chick.
Modern artists are told that they must create something totally original-or risk being called "derivative".They've been indoctrinated with the concept that bad=good.The effect is always the same: Meaningless primitivism

Anyways, back to topic. I really love those faces. I should seriously try CGA some day, I love challenges.
