Description This is TechnoTron, a private company owned by a few powerful industrials. It main activities are focussed on research & development for high-tech weapons. Their clients are spread all over the world and moon, but the biggest demand comes from the powerful nations on Planet Earth. This is their head office. It is situated on the moon because they felt the Earth wasn't safe enough anymore.

You got the money? TechnoTron got the weapons!



I can't remember how many hours I've spend on this, but it were a few
I made this for Pixelmoon . This piece is different then what you're used from me, because I put in some animation. I wanted to animate more but I got fed up with it If you look closely you can see that I submitted the tank already in a different deviation. I changed the colors and put a different turret on.
Ok now for some technical info...

Whoa. Just...whoa. There really aren't any other words. I can't find anything wrong with it. There's a ton going on, the shading and lighting are awesome, the animations add a nice touch, and the composition kicks ace. You've really outdone yourself this time!

Once again an incredible pixelart piece from you!
Really nice work on this one. And I can understand why you didn't want to animate more than you did, 'cause it would've been a hell of a job... Although I think it seems a bit weird with just a couple of things animated and the rest of the pic not moving at all...
Anyway. This piece is definetely worth a +fav.

That's a damn good scene! A few varied styles of pixel art too, plus it's animated!! Shows effort my friend.

I like the electric beams at the top of the walls, neat idea. The robots and machnes littered around look very smart as well, such attention to details on some of them... they do look a little static though, like they wouldn't actually move well. Something like ED-209 from Robocop would have looked better My favourite detail though has to be the alien murder scene taking place behind the right hand wall, always good to some homour.

Excellent work all round -Z-

I am speechless...first thing's first...+Fav, for sure! Where do I begin?? The shading, angles, views, highlights, shadows and design is just so incredible, I don't think anyone could so something better than this. I love how you add some irony/comedy in your pixels, adds a more interesting touch to the whole image. I can see so many details in this that I know that a lot of time and devotion went into this. I love how you've made the glass look see-through so effectively, and the way you've added an extra metal surface to the main building. It's so cool how you've put lines so detailed like engravings into the walls of that building, and the animation of the 'machines' look so great. I like that crashed spaceship, and how you've made it so that there are gaurds circling it, hehe, you can tell through the detail of the broken bits in the space ship, the way it's dug into the 'sand' and the pieces to the right of it that it was a crash, and I like how you've positioned the alien amongst a bunch of guys with guns. How scared would you be? Hehe, it's funny how you have to the very right a sort of 'abduction', lol, they've taken the gaurd from the tower and dragging him off xDDD so creative, and even the dragging trail left behind, lol. You know, I noticed the little 'Tt' icon in the walls, but I don't get that blue logo at the front...is it supposed to be a sign saying what that building is? It's cool how you've designed the 'portal' with the guy with his arms raised and the other guy going to teleport him, hee, it's another sign of your creativity. You've added to the realism by adding footprints to it, it's really awesome. I like the random robots, very creative of you, hehe, I especially like that floating one and the blue flame propelling it upwards. All in all, this is the best pixel art I have ever seen, and due to the hard work and effort put into it, I would fave it even if it was unattractive. Thank you for presenting this wonderful work of art, I don't think I'd have been able to appreciate pixel art as much if I hadn't seen this piece. I would say more about how great it is, but I think I've said enough xD

Thanks for the long comment! One of the guards circling the crash site is holding a white flag, ironicly other guards are pointing guns at him. Sorta like, surrender or else!
Oh on the right isn't really an abduction, they are thiefs trying to sneek in
The Tt you see everywhere is the company's logo, and at the front is sort of a welcome board. You see a lot of that with big corporate offices.
The portal you speak off isn't a portal but a body scan in case someone tries to sneek out information or brings in anything that is illegal. I actually wanted to animate the guy standing in the building, so that he got teleported away. But I didn't

Senus In reply to zoanoid [2004-08-17 11:51:31 +0000 UTC]

Ohhh ok, cool Yeah, I knew about the theifs, but since they're aliens, abduction is a good word for it xD Hehe, you're welcome, can't wait to see more great pixel art from you...you need to animate more you know, you're really good at it, and it adds a wonderful effect to your already great pics.

Holy shit...

It looks sooo screenshot like! Like you was just taking a good game and making screenshot. Have you played StarWars? It reminded me of that. Sooo great, man I'm very impressed.

The whole scene and a small details made me spent like 10 minutes or so.

It goes definately to my 's and I hope you will get a DD as it really deserves!

This is one of the most absolutely stunning pixelmoon submissions so far by far! The detail in the building is just absolutely beyond belief! The archetecture is amazing and very original... and it's all so creative... I wish I could just hump it to death

Maybe it's just me.. but there are a few (black outline) pixels to much in there
on the big entrance door, on the right side at the bottom on the moon surface.. but maybe it's just me!

anyway.. I really love the detail on the moon surface.. truly amazing.. not to mention the
smooth fading animation of the shiny thing..! great job.. but.. what else to expect?
