Thankies! And so far, your criticism was quite good (much better than just "lol great/horrible!" I tend to work a lot with dead/graed/pastel colors even if at arare events I go with very blight colors (mostly under client´s demands though :) ).

Rogue Runner´s backgrounds were crazy to work on, but quite fun in the end... just hard to loop bgs (so they scroll foreveeeeer) o.o

You had to loop them? I didn't even consider that. Hopefully you used offset in PS or some other graphics application to make your life easier? Offset saves me so much time whenever I make tile-able textures for 3D pieces. XD;

Yeah, I'm kind of a sucker for soft color palettes. Crazy neon hues sometimes too. I love color theory, but it's mysterious as heck to figure out.

Offisets? hahahaha no no back when I worked for Rogue Runner I basically used paint and a very old version of Photoshop... and anything basedes basic filters and brushes is still beyond my knowledge in photoshop... even today o.o Nowadays I use Graphicsgale, saves a lot of work, but still work my looping by hand XD My dad says I am too stuborn regarding new technologies... :P

Color theory is awesome, but being honest, most of my knowledge came through pratice or a few tips from friends (mostly Ocean´s Dream :P)

Oh that sounds handy :3 But my way isn´t all that insane... basically I just select the last 1/2 lines of pixels from one side of the image, copy and paste them to the opposite side, so I have my starting point being the same as my finishing point - colors, lines etc, just need to follow through with the rest of the image XD

And whoa, that guy is awesome *.* I sometimes do steal from other paslletes yet hehe though far less than when I begun working with rpgmaker around 2001 (before that I had no internet... so nowhere to steal palletes from, but I do pixelart since 1990... :P I still remember the old green monochromatic screen on that old pc XD

Oh I only got the basics of Photoshop, used to take that as a challenge too, but deep down it is more me being stuborn as dad says XD With that I guess I got my eyes trained a bit o.o

Oh you are possible younger then, I am 32 so actually I am 80´s junkie who grew with G1 transformers, Jen, Robotech... hehe My full history with art dated from mid 80´sd actually, but when I was a kid only drew machines, it was natural to me... now people and animals took me forever to learn o.o why organic life has to be so complex? XD

On the other side you had internet earlier in life than I had which is mostly a bless XD

author=lumaki
And yup, I'm 20. 7 years spent in the 90s, but I have the worst memory so most of it's forgotten. I didn't get videogames or cable until '99, Internet was in '01. But my parents were strict, and I was limited to weekend use only. So many weekdays spend leafing through game manuals to pass the time. XD

That's great that you can draw machines! I struggle a lot with perspective drawings, and can't think of how all the parts fit together and work properly. I'd much rather draw people and animals. Perspective is very unforgiving! XD I have mad respect for you for pulling it off so well! All those little details on the robots and that starship are amazing! By the way, nice rim lighting on the starship - just noticed it. :)

Oh I see, I only had internet in 2001 as well, but only cause I got my own phone line and paid for it myself o.o so I didn´t have much on people regulating me either... but with work and college, ended up just using on weekends as well :P

That is exactly what is natural to me on machines, all the parts, I imagine then 3D on my mind, bit by bit, guess it came with a lot of Lego playing as a kid and I loved to stop and circle around cars observing every detail whenever I went outdoors with my parents o.o But organics are harder to me since they need to look natural :P specially trees, grass tiles and plants in general. And thankies about the ship, that one had a lot of photoshop brushes and filtering to it, but the core image was still pixelart at some point XD

Your style is absolutely charming!!! <3
Sometimes it resembles me those SNES anime adaptions, or even obscure japanese SNES games, and that's a gooood thing. <3 (They're extra-charmy!)

Your stuff is mad good, just sayin' ~

Thankies, SNES is yet my main reference - even qwhen I started plsying games on the NES and it had awesome stuff like Vice Project Doom or classic megaman... SNES blew my mind as far as pixelart goes... it was quite perfect overal, though I comment Phantasy Star IV and Shining Force II on Genesis *.* So yeah, that makes me quite happy :D

Whenever I see stuff like this, I can only think, "I scoop. There is no way I can compete with this level of awesomesauce."

Well I sometimes feel the same way when I look at someone elses awesome art, but then I believe we can reache whatever we want in life with time and effort, and at that I could reach them if I wanted and take that as a step to work harder XD So yeah, don´t understimate your potential, if I can you can, or even you can do much better, who knows? :3

But thankies on the compliment -^.^-

author=unity
This is all amazing! I'm just starting to try to do pixel art for my own projects and I am in awe of what you've done here! Absolutely fantastic!

Instead of thinking like that, I find it more useful to think "I may not be able to make something of this quality now, but maybe I can still put my own unique take in what I create." There are amazing people out there who do fantastic things, but I don't think that you should let that hinder you from creating. After all, you may be a person who inspires awe in others down the line, but not if you stop here ;D

Thank you! And yeah, it is not as hard as it seems at first, in fact takes just as much dexterity as using the internet and possibly less than playing fighting games (I suck at those u.u) but requires attention and patience as well as creativety to solve a few things XD

And your reply was quite similar to mine, I truly think we all can do much better and always improve, but I always see art ages better than mine XD still try to keep a positive mindset over it -^.^-

Precisely, and if anything, I can always ask awesome people a few questions and learn a bit from them, likwise, I am always open to help people learning and share whatever I learned myself XD
