New C64 picture, whee

[Terley]

awesome, never used this method of pixeling but i'd betch'a if I tried it wouldn't be as good as this.

the face is hypnotic and scary but its got a cute little body haha.

The random dottyness of the shadowline bugs me slightly however, seeing as everything else is pretty solid looking.

The dottyness is for a very specific reason.

FLI mode bug?

[ptoing]

No, it's not to do with a bug. It was a decision I made.

[Ryumaru]

ah.
when i first read the description and i thought it said 8x8 instead of 8x1, and was thinking" how could ptoing have made so many mistakes!"anyways, i love it. id love to see something organic made with the restrictions.

Either an extremely clever way of signing (ptoing '06)...or a convenient coincidence ....I'll give you credit for the former.

I think this is a nice piece.  Extremely smooth and angular  .  One small thing bothers me, and it's the bags (bone?) under the eyes; they're inconsistent.  I'd personally switch them around, based on the where the light source is, or make both of them the same....although, I'm sure, due to constraints, I may be proposing the impossible.
Still...very cool...reminds me of the face from the Iron Maiden album covers (I think he was called Eddy, but I really donno).

Keep on pixeling!

Sharp eye, checkworth.

I think it's rocking

In the day, C64 artists would have your balls for all that wasted space. I have an idea to further the "romantic" aspect but you may not like it:

1. add logo to the screen either sides, describe the game some what, including info for controls or highscore.
2. move on to make an in-game mock-up using strict C64 limitations.

If you went on to make these additions, and I feel the character could work well as a sprite in a game of his own, it would feel complete! I understand that C64 art has a place of its own, but this more suited to a game mock-up than pictures of half naked girls, which C64 art "for arts sake" so well reproduces.
