Well, yeah.  Holy crap, Pyro's back.

It's nothing spectacular, but then again, I have not pixeled in about 9 months.

C+C, as always baby.

Hey Pyro!

This is pretty cool.  The lines themselves are great...but the randomly placed aa/selout just isn't working; the outline looks choppy.
I think the helmet needs some attention, too; the shading that's there almost ignores the lightsource, and I think it could use a bit more shading and highlights.  Actually, a lot of spots would benefit from some highlights here and there to add to the "metal" (\m/ :lol:) look--the bolt things on the shield, the emblem on the shield (if you're going for a metal look there), and the shoulder pads.

That should point you in some direction.  Keep pixelling!


btw: nice to see you back!

Nice to see you again, too, Rydin.

Thanks for the hasty response.

Damn, I was working on a quick edit, too.  Yours is going much nicer than mine was though.  Great job getting that metal feel (I think my way failed miserably)...

I hope to see more updates ;).
