[Terley]

thanks i'll see what I can do, I'll post back with some progress later today im in work soon.

[Terley]

ok, was in work all weekend had no time to soley work on this. wasn't expecting to hit the deadline still a shame to give up, some small progress hope im on the right track. Started blending some colours on the face (you think the dithering makes it look too grainy?) And im working out the background, any suggestions?

[ilkke]

It's going rather good, imo.
I think you can make the dither a bit more ordered, to lessen the graininess to some extent, if you lose the "X" and "O" bits.
Also maybe make the monster in the back push or lean on the building as it crumbles to tie those together. Maybe you can also add some pale ruins behind him, to flesh out the scenery for that background part.

Maan, this is the best photo-to-pixel translation I've seen in quite a while! I'm totally digging! TOTALLY (:

Dammit, did you miss the deadline?  I was going to vote for this about 8 times.

oh thx, I work all fridays saturdays and sundays.. didnt plan not having the time to finish it off. Well glad you like it anyway.

trying to hint some detail into the background but with such an awkward palette I don't think I should overcomplicate anything because a lot of the colours are oversaturated and for the background would mostlikely draw it out too much. Should keep it simple really. What do you think of the grass so far? not sure if the blue is too much, works better than anyother colour ive tried.

I did a fast edit:

I just played with the eyes, since the crossed eyed-ness was bothering me since I first saw this.

[AlienQuark]

is it just me, or are the eyes and mouth/nose slanting different ways? I think the eye closest to us needs to come edit:UP some. Am I mistaken or not? This is like the 3rd piece where i've thought the angles of facial features are wrong, and i'm hoping it's not just me.

ANYWAYS, that aside, you've done some hectic work with the pallette, and deserve an asspatting for that. Awesome!

[ilkke]

I don't like the way that orange grass connects with the face. Maybe use some of that green to separate them?
Turning out awesome, btw.
