WOW!!!!

This is just incredible!!! I've never seen a pixel work with old cars before, and I LOVE the first one I see!

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it! This is an old piece but I still like it, it was back when I first practiced large scale pixel work. Might revisit the old car theme sometime who knows!

Impressive - this one is kept in shades of brown (only the bumper and the sky introduce paler colors), but still has that three dimensional feeling.

It's also brings to mind thoughts about passing of time. It's sad and grim for me, especially that I'm an owner of an old car. (Well, she is not in that bad condition, but well, her days are counted ).

Thank you! This one is an older pixel work of mine, sure is good to see how many things changed since then in a positive way.
I think I understand how you feel. I have a LOT of old electronics heck my laptop is 8 years old and still kicking. I love stuff that are more mechanical than digital so you can tinker with them. That's why if I have to use a car I'll get myself an old Lada Niva or something that is not too dependent on electricity and digital components.

This is a normal reaction I fully understand. Passing of time is something we have to live with. It is like how Death is part of Life (Β hence the quote: "The fate of destruction is also the joy of rebirth".)Β a never ending cycle. This doesn't mean I do not grieve loss or the potential to lose possessions or life, but it makes me accept the harshness of existence more easily.

Yes, just... amazing work! Keep it up!

Thanks Tri! ^^ For once I'm also pleased with my work, although I keep in mind the mistakes and unwritten laws of pixel art that I desecrated xD But I'm still getting there... Thank you, there is more pixel stuff to come in the future so I will Β

What?? Oh my land, I didn't think this was pixel until I looked at the group it was submitted under, this is absolutely amazing!!! Holy cats!!Β 
I'm still working on my pixel work, but nothing as cool or interesting as this. Just, absolutely great job!

Thank you for your kind words! ^^ Glad you like it. I'm actually quite new in the world of pixel art but I fell in love with it in an instant The limited palette, dithering the old school feel... I'm really digging it so far! I saw your pixels they are really cute! Nice job on them, and I'm wondering what program did you use to make the animations? I'm thinking of dabbling into animation also a little bit...not much just some basic stuff.

Aw, thank you!
Um, to do the animations I use ezimaΒ www.ezimba.com/index-ln.html
You load the initial image and then go to frame animation where you put the next piece on and go like that. My roommate is going to try to teach me how to use gimp to do this as well, but I'm not sure how to do it to that extent. Β >...<
I hope that helps.Β 
Animation is super cool. Especially with pixels. What sort of animations were you thinking of doing?

Oh cool! Thanks! ^_^ I'll check it out next thing tomorrow. I know I love 'em animated gifs xD Well I'm mostly intrigued by backgrounds and busy cityscapes/landscapes so I guess I would like to make those kind of pieces come to life. For example flickering lights,rain,moving clouds,birds,smoke...falling and moving leaves all those stuff but ofc depends on the matter at hand The main reason I want to do them is because since I started working with pixels I can feel a sense of stagnation like everything is too static in a scene (not in a bad way but the image just yells ANIMATE ME HUMAN!!! xD) and I would like to see what I can create with animation to breathe more life into a picture.

I know exactly what you mean! I can't do them myself, but I appreciate just that little bit of effort to make the image look really good!
If you ever open commissions too, let me know! I think I'd be interested for as talented as you are!
