The head and chest look a little bit overworked (almost pillowshady oh-my-gawd) and the aa could be better in some places, but the piece looks very dinamic and realistic (not real, realistic). Therefore, I believe you should leave it as it is or work backwards towards something less smooth.

Itz beautiful btw

EDIT: This is a neat example of what I meant before (only this was intentional )

RED. GREEN. BLUE. VOID. If you've got the stones for it.

When everybody knows how to do that you'll be no one! MUAHAHAHA!

@VictorR: That isn't water, it's earth. Read the thread first

I'm really liking the way you're doing this, Ryumaru I'm not sure if you're still following GBC restrictions but, at this point, I don't care, because it's looking beautiful
About the latest mockups...The upper two are better anatomically, but I think the overall picture would work better with the pillars, like on the lower one...just with corrected anatomy. For that, I'd try to make his chest look wider and probably raise the head a tiny bit.

I'll be waiting for development

I've been eagerly waiting for these since you told me some c64 pieces were on the works. It was worth waiting

I laughed when I read the description of the first, because, a few days ago, Ensellitis came up the idea the he should make timed pieces and I said "please, don't mention that to helm and ptoing, soon they'll be doing it" So, it was kinda funny to see that you have already done one
Either way, it's mood is amazing, it sort of remminded me of 'V for Vendetta' (and your KOS sprite as well ) but better and a bit more spooky. Compositionally, I find the sky part (beneath his face, where the moon is) the worst bit of the picture. The moon and the ?clouds? look great, but it really makes the picture unbalanced, in my opinion. I would have probably done some more dark trees, like on the opposite side.

To be honest...I found the second one extremely uninteresting.The clouds are weird (but that's probably part of the style), there's the thing ptoing mentioned and, seriously, all I can make out of it is a bunch of odd structures and a focal point (the dark zone in the middle) with nothing of interest. Defenitely not one of your best pieces.

The last one stunned me. It's  I've never seen a picture of you so I can't tell if it looks like you, but it's technically amazing and has tons of character. Now, I'm not familiar with that FLI ?mode?...could you please give a (small) description of it, please?

May I ask where is the Pixelation irc right now? I follow the link from Pixel Joint (virtual.dyc.edu #pixelation) but there's no one there. Like, never. Or just no one goes there?
