Thanks
Well partially. It's not like I have to click every pixel seperatly. I use the pencil tool and the eraser and the fill tool. But all the AA for example is hand done.

i never really realized how hard pixel-art was until just recently, now I have a whole new appreciation for pixelators.

mizzyvon [2008-01-06 22:05:58 +0000 UTC]

omg 10 hours. o_o;

Wowow very cool, though background doesnt really add something creepy to the picture. Maybe that was meant like that, but just my opinion. Still, awesome work!

Pipann [2008-01-06 20:33:15 +0000 UTC]

But I thought Nazguls were the dragons those ring wraiths rode on. Well, it's really cool anyhow. The way you do it, what program did you use?

👍: 0 ⏩: 2

Shadowwwolf In reply to Pipann [2008-01-06 22:08:41 +0000 UTC]

Looked it up. Ring Wraith is the literal translation of Nazgul in shadow speech or something
Nazg = ring gul = wraith/spirit.

SoulStarisborn [2008-01-06 20:30:18 +0000 UTC]

Really like how the background colors bounce off the dark cloak of his. And it's so down right creepy seeing that in a park like environment.

zarashah [2008-01-06 19:54:15 +0000 UTC]

I saw this on pixelation, meant to say something, but couldn't really think of the proper way to lay it down. Had something to do with the way you were hanging the cloth, but it looks convincing as it is anyhow.

My favorite part is actually the way you've composed the background, though the focus of cloth is quite nice as well.

Good colors.

Thank you
Yes, I'm quite pleased with the background aswell. After the tree I did last year I really got a good hang of jungle like backgrounds. characters and anatomy remain my weakness. I must practice.
