Nice job! ;D
Out of curiosity, do you use fancy brushes of any sort? the cathedral looks kind of.. blurry. Looks fancy brushified to me. And why are random parts extremely blurry and others crisp? it looks mismatched.
the cathedral lacks texture in the bricks and the grass. and the statue of liberty lacks form and looks kind of blobby.
But the color choices are really nice, and the game is cool. ^^

Keep up the good work.

Hey , thank you Coran

okay , the Cathedral was first painted in Photoshop then pixelated,
it's kind of easy to make but then it will be abit mismatched as you said ^__^


thanks again,

to me it looks like some NPA tools have been used on those towers.  can you shed some light on this, or post some wip stages?

yeah, npa, but it's an honest mistake and he made no attempt to hide:

there's a big difference between pixel-sized-art (art where individual pixels are seen) and pixel-art, which does not by necessity denote any size or resolution, merely a practice in which every pixel is placed by hand and, some will argue, with thought and care, though that's not always the case : large brushes, fill cans, and other tools that allow multiple dots be placed with a single action begin to move outside of that if people let them.  Of course, one might conscientiously fill a region with a flat color just as easily as one might hand place one-by-one arbitrary colors, so mostly people allow for other tools so long as there is still careful consideration on some level.  Brushes, however, and any tool which uses a color that is not hand-picked or completely opaque, are strictly forbidden.  Resizing, too, which defines each pixel purely by math (no human input), is out.

Should clear things up?
A mistake is a mistake.
The same mistake twice is a bad habit.
The same mistake three or more times is a motif.

Товарищь Жюков, объясните трудящимся, почему вы изображаете продажную девку демократии? :)
