[A pixel globe of planet Zebes]

This is awesome! Surprised I never got around to reviewing this one. The attention to detail and accuracy here is impressive- this must have taken a ton of planning. Very beautifully made! If I may recommend, you should check out an artist who goes by the name 'Wanderwierd.' He's a good friend of mine who, among many other talents, creates videogame-style mandala paintings. I don't think he's here on NG, but some of your work reminds me of some of the stuff he does, and I think you might dig it! Great work as always and I look forward to your next piece!

This is wonderful. Kinda hard to describe how much I love this work. I love how beautifully you've woven each of the stages together. This nearly brings a tear to my eye as I'd draw somewhat similar 'worlds' growing up. I love the flow here! It looks like you do have Brinstar, and possibly Brinstar Depths nearby as well, and I understand spacing might have been an issue, but it would have been cool to see Kraid in here! Regardless, this is impressive, and a very lovely tribute to one (and several of) the greatest games of all time. Thank you for sharing!

very well done! Great depth and shading. I kinda prefer the muted blue version. Great work!

[Invasion]

I really like the depth of this piece. Great work.

[Harpy]

Love how angular and stylistic this is. Great job!

I never got around to reviewing this, but I couldn't help but drop in to at least admire your work with the sky. Sunsets and sunrises have many different captivating color sequences, and I tend to struggle with which exact moment of dusk I would like to portray. This particular sunset palette has always intrigued me, but I've never managed to get it quite right. The loop is incredibly clean here and I love the effort you put into detailing all of the windows of the building.

windows did not require special efforts to create. Most tricky part was to create bus and car movement animations, so they while move diagonally wont jump on pixels like on stairs.

The incredibly smooth and precise detail of the leaves immediately drew me in. This piece is captivating, and every pixel breathes so much life so naturally. I could probably gush about the lighting alone for hours on end. Also, I love the exhaust fumes coming from the car! I had to double check that my memory served me correctly, but I recall suggesting adding exhaust fumes to a similar piece you posted a year ago- 'Car in a Snowy Yard.' I do still really enjoy that piece, but comparing this one side by side, your improvement as an artist really shines in a number of different ways.
I love your presence here and I greatly look forward to your next work!

aleha84 responds:

yes, creating exhaust fumes was provoked by comments to 'Car in a Snowy Yard' artwork. I'm trying always listen to other people CC

[Wanderer]

Looks like this outside right now, and this is how I felt on my way home from work. Excellent detail and lighting!

[Calm Horizon]

Wow, the water is amazing! This is arguably some of the most realistic water I've seen in artwork, and it's also pretty epic that it's made in pixels. It seems like each wave is alive, and there's not a single dull area. The light reflecting from the water is also very impressive, as the contrast is consistent with the distance, and the shape of the waves. In contrast to the water, however, the clouds do seem a bit under-detailed. I don't think it really detracts from this piece overall, but it is one thing that kinda stood out. I'd say otherwise, you absolutely nailed it here, and I really enjoy the subtleties in detail such as the reflection of the landscape into the water.

[Risen Beast]

Very nice. I love the sharpness, especially in the water. The shading/dithering is also pretty smooth and well done, and I love the color palette. Also, a fellow Silent Hill fan I presume? Great username/profile pic.
