Really rad skull shape, especially with the dithering. And I learned something knew! Interesting to see this inspired by a real land mass
Thanks alot. Glad I inspired you to delve into a new topic. Also, what's the deal with your piece? I know it's supposed to be something, and other people seem to see something, based off of the comments. However, all I see is static. Is it just me?
It's a magic eye illusion — you are meant to cross your eyes to see a three dimensional image, in this case it is a large "3".
It can be tough to see. I recommend looking at a more standard magic eye illusion first, then try that technique on here. At the end of the day though, it is a novelty and a fun way to see what is possible on the Game Boy. The trick of it all is what is fun about it.
Oh, and don't fullscreen it too look at it, that can make it more difficult. The size it is when looking at it on the submission page or the project page itself should be a comfortable scale to see the illusion.
Nice take on Golgotha! Also good use of dithering for shading
Thank you so much! What's funny is initially I didn't intend to have dithering, but when I realized I wanted more definition on the subject, I added it. Also for your piece, I choose Megaman, because he looks like he's about to pitch a fastball and sock the boss in the face.
I didn't know what Golgotha was until I looked it up. Morbid! Good take on the theme, and great rendering in the image.
Thank You. I am glad I inspired someone to learn something new. I'm grateful and glad you enjoyed my art. For me, I view it as disturbing, especially since most likely a lot of people died there; and the name makes it even more chilling. Also, what is the story behind your art submission?
I started with a biblical theme inspired by the Holy Trinity: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Originally, I planned to have baby Jesus as the focal point, with three priests visiting him, inspired by the three wise men, but I decided that was a bit too creepy and wanted to focus more on the theme of three. I replaced the baby with the Roman numeral III, added three children to represent "the Son" element, and gave the Holy Ghost two reflections in the water so he appears three times. Finally I had some extra space and tiles so I filled the remaining space with three tricksters representing Satan's influence. The whole image really came together in bits and pieces as I worked on it.
oh okay then that explains a lot. I was confused on who those 3 old guys with the cane were. Also I like your sets of 3 in your artwork, lives up to the 3/Three/III theme
