new port for my character on furcadia.
people often bug me for ports. i often respond by complaining that they hurt my eyes and wrist to do. and they do hurt. a LOT.
when you take a break at the 5 hour mark, remove your glasses, and REVEL in the blurry darkness of silent hill for a half an hour, you've entered the special HELL reserved for me working with pixels. when you fall asleep at 6am, then wake up a few hours later and your eyes STILL hurt but you jump right back in to the pixels, you've found why i don't do ports for other people.
there's a slight sepia blur on all three of the bottom images to prevent theft. but go ahead. tilt your moniter. put your nose to the screen.
squint. FEEL MY PAIN.
//edit
while talking with
i realized i forgot to note that each colour (clothing, markings, skin, hair, etc) can ONLY have a shading depth of 8 shades, at MAXIMUM. you are limited to a very specific set of 256 colours if you want your port to remap to character colours in the game (and this one does).
also, this was done with a mouse.
eat my dust, tablet jockies.
this port is for Clockwork. if you see it on anyone else, it was swiped.

Dude, I feel you. I haven't done a port in over a year 'cause they give me eyecancer.
That's a fabulous picture though! I love your style. 8D
Quezy Says:
OMG. It's you!! *latches* I didn't realize it was you 'til I took another look at the picture. How's it going, Shimo??

I imagine that'd be quite hard.
; I haven't done a lot of pixel art on a larger scale like that, and whenever I have it always really hurt ahaha
Though you can be cheap and use the pixellate option on any photo-manip program ahahahahah

I feel your pain(t)! It's not uncommon to spend over an hour or more just making sure that a grass tile repeats smoothly! Oh and trust me 256 colours is a godsend compared to 6-Bit (64 colours). Happy Pixelation!
nice ;p reminds me of when i would plya sim city 3000 for way too long. close my eyes and i would see grid lines everywhere ;D

You sound like your eyes are in agony. To the point where you wish you could tear them out and soak them in ice water for a while.
It's great work, man, seriously. But I doubt anything is worth that kind of torture
