very cool piece, like the idea of using the baby proportions for added expression without losing the weight real wrinlkes bring to an expression. I also really liked the profile you had to work from, what site runs such interesting competition?

the granny character is quite fantastic :P.  good balance of flat versus busy  :y:

little thing/character from me :

A mistake is a mistake.
The same mistake twice is a bad habit.
The same mistake three or more times is a motif.

Something experimental-ish

I like this style. Nice to see a little break from the blocky style you normally do(though there are hints of it here and there in this piece). Has some nice atmosphere. Seems like it was inspired by SotC. Also, is that a giant bird looking up at that little man?
my back hurts...

Cheers Bob. I worked from a source image which I composited from several scanned ink washes, layered in photoshop and played with the blending modes and opacity. Click! That bit is only a part of the full composite which looked interesting enough to take further. Ico and Sotc are quite inspirational to me, I love those games dearly. And I was actually listening to the SotC soundtrack at some point during the making of this.

And yes, there is a giant bird which also is transluscent towards the bottom where he emerges.

Progress animation for those interested.

I admit that its a tad dated. Its still 1 of my favorite pics. Just thought I'd toss it up here to avoid feeling left out^^



This was a quickie request I did to show off to a buddy of mine's that was working intern at Marvel. Back at HeroesCon'06.

He wanted to pitch an idea to the big wigs of a storyline whereas Rhino becomes a good guy...fancy that. So, I was asked
to try a complete redesign of the behemoth just incase they did'nt want to go with the initial plan & just do something else
completely different. In the end the idea was scrapped and he got bounced from there the following year...oh well. ENJOY!

Grrr.... I'm stuck on this grass for the Flash game I'm working on. Right now, it doesn't seem to fit stylistically with the other elements. I'm ashamed to say the character and the tree are the only other elements I have to show you for reference..... I've been doing a shitload of programming with placeholder graphics. :ouch:



Any suggestions would be muchly appreciated.

(Note: I'm certainly not restricted to a single grass tile, although my engine is tile based. 48 x 48 pixels, if you'd like to know.)
