Description
So after a long time some smaller piece from me again
The last months I had solely focused on game making, so I didn't do much "regular" art. I also practiced digital painting a bit, which I thinks shows in the rendering.24 colors.

Beast work, great fan Art of the album! I really like how you paint the refractions of light, especially how the red contrasts the orange inside the glass, and how you used the purples and teals to really provide contrast in the lighting.
Some of the most immediate problems however, where that this sprite's light curves. The curve on the red portion of the light is what really stands out as not being clean. I noticed you had this pattern: chaotic on the top, smooth on the bottom. Maybe try keeping that consistent, and replacing the curve with some flare highlights.
The light on the side looks noisy and could use smoother dithering. I'd suggest using the regular gradient dithering style, or some sort of adaptive texture dither. The dithering style does however work very well on the ground.
Overall, awesome work dude! ;D

Nice work with the classic "PF dark side of the moon". Don't you love how a simple prism as gotten so much fame!
Love the way you did it. the way the light comes in and explodes out into the psychedelic pattern is amazing.

Very nice. If I remember correctly the concept of this comes from the Pink Floyd Album, "Dark side of the moon." The details and work looks great. I very much like everything about this.

Reading some comments, you may wish to make it obvious here that it was intentionally a recreation of the 'Dark Side of the Moon' album cover.
Also, I'll be damn surprised if you don't win that weekly challenge.

This is an excellent picture. May I ask what's your method for your style of background dithering?

Since you asked for a critique, i am going to give you one. sadly, i do not have a premium membership
okay, lets start off with your use of colors. it's obvious you have been working with pixel drawings for a long time--and you know how to use only 24 colors to the best of their ability. (and how to use such a small canvas)
the shading is nice, the light striking the left side is great, and so is the light coming out of the other side.
You kept the background simple though, but it looks good on this piece.
however, it's not all that original of a concept. i've seen the "light going through a prism" in drawings and paintings many times.
so, all and all i would give this a 9/10. you are obviously very experienced and overall this is a great work, but not very original. be sure to do your best every day!

No words o_o I'm breatheless. This is amazing!!! I'd say that this is the best pixel art that I've EVER seen!!! This is beautiful!!! the colors! The prism!! The angles!!! The light!! If I died after I wrote the comment I'd die happy because I am in awe of this beauty.
