Whatever =Droneguard said.
I swear I've seen the helicopter somewhere before... I duno, Commando 3?

By the way, the emote is perfect. Pixelling, animation. Everything.
I love it.

Wow this is great! The detail of the helicopter is stunning and the animation is really smooth. The only thing I would suggest is maybe have a shadow for the helicopter on the ground?

Other than that I think it's great

The details of the helicopter and the background look very good.
I can't help but recognizing it from some game but I'm not sure. Did you used a helicopter sprite or was it fully hand made?

madb0y In reply to Droneguard [2009-04-09 19:23:59 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much!

Yes, I've used a main copter, but edited (and recolored) it as much as I could ^^

Droneguard In reply to madb0y [2009-04-09 19:51:07 +0000 UTC]

You know that it's art theft to use sprites from other people unless you've gotten written permission of the rightful owner?
dA is all about creating your OWN art, not using sprites from other people and/or websites. dA can also remove it, or in the worst case ban you...
The tank emote... that tank is also from a sprite right? If so would you be so kind to remove my critique?
Fooling people with used sprites isn't the best way of creating reliability of yourself. When you say "I made this" then people think you made every pixel yourself...
How can I believe you are good artist now?

madb0y In reply to Droneguard [2009-04-09 19:58:25 +0000 UTC]

The tank fully made by me.. You can trust about it...

I've used a tottaly free JUST lines sprite.. the copter doeasnt look like this before so I made all the pixels of it too, just I cant imagine a 3D-ed helicopter, thats why I googled a lined sprite ^^

That is not stealing ^^

Droneguard In reply to madb0y [2009-04-09 20:17:57 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm... If it's not stolen, then it shouldn't be a problem if you showed me a link to the sprite then right?

I also could show u a .gif of the making, if you still dont trust me

Droneguard In reply to madb0y [2009-04-09 22:19:43 +0000 UTC]

It's oke... it's just that there have been some emoticonists around that made some art that I recognized from games/websites. Most of them did so just to become popular. So I'm quite skeptical when I see a good looking piece, or if I recognize it somehow.

madb0y In reply to Droneguard [2009-04-10 07:04:47 +0000 UTC]

I think, I know who are you talking about..

But.. Is it okay what i've done?

Droneguard In reply to madb0y [2009-04-10 18:03:36 +0000 UTC]

Well, if you haven't got written permission by the creator of the lined pixel art then technically it's art theft.
It's oke when you look at certain pictures, and use them as inspiration like I do sometimes. Just like that "Super fart" emoticon that I created. I never pixeled a big size moon, so I looked at several pictures online to study the colors, shape, craters, light and shadows etc.
What I suggest is to create everything yourself, that way you won't have to worry about your art being deleted. And I do apologize for my reaction, was a bit overrated. It's like I said, I'm a bit skeptical

ABlindOrphan In reply to ??? [2009-04-09 18:50:23 +0000 UTC]

I love the detail you put into this piece, like the background, the gradient shadow and the detail of the helicopter. The smiley's themselves have a really nice shine to them also.

The only thing that I would suggest for improvement is the animation. The blades of the helicopter could do with some blur on the blades to show direction, and that guy jumping up and down should be made smoother - on the way down, he seems to stop in mid air. That isn't to say that the animation was bad as a whole - I absolutely loved the rope blowing around from the wind from the blades, as well as the subtle stuff like the pilot blinking.

Overall, a very nice piece.
