Yes and I can see every drop of effort you put into this piece.

Very well done, truly can't wait to see the finished product, I can see why you called it your masterpiece, because from you, this is easily one of the best pieces I've ever seen, as well as the best pieces of art I've seen that came from someone of this community, extremely impressed.

Suck up much?

His 'masterpiece' is mediocre at best. And pixel-art? Hey Elk, the 90's called, they want their 'masterpiece' back.

No, not even.

I appreciate the effort made into pixel-art, also as for "mediocre", I have two questions for you.

1. Why don't you provide a piece that is better? Don't forget to explain why considering you appear to be such a connoisseur that the piece in comparison to Elk's work is superior.
2. Why would you call me a suck-up when I'm merely giving the guy his deserved feedback for his work? Especially when I usually find Elk's work at times uninteresting.

Until you can answer either question eloquently, you're left unarmed in this argument, wouldn't be surprised considering how opinionated you appear to be.

I am voicing entirely my opinion, I'm not going to sugarcoat anything and just be completely honest. I liked Elk's pixelpainting too, but I found it disturbing how he'd made it a pixel art piece, rather than an actual painting. It would have much greater use if it were the latter.

To answer your hostile questions:

1. Why should I have to prove I'm somewhat better, to justify my objective statements?
2. Because there's a fine line between complimenting someone's good work, and blindly kissing his ass.

Take it or leave it, if you can enjoy it - fine. But in my opinion it is a waste of his artistical talents, and how pixel-art should stay in the past where it should be. It only existed this way because computers couldn't handle the amount of colours they can in this day and age, so why limit yourself?

Who cares about this market ?

[Gos_pira]

Climbing the mountain is what makes it exciting, not the goal. I completely understand Why Elk does it, and Why he has chosen MSPaint to do it.

Would be interesting to see the steps you take to get to that...
Also when you do a large piece like that, how do you know where to start? o.o

One of the first results I could find on Google(since I myself have no training/knowledge of composition:

[Elk]

The same as when you approach everything else, you start roughly and go into the matter/complexity, first, its pure abstractness, then you give it form/shape and from then on you go further and further and further untill everything reaches the desired level of detail... some might say my compositions may lack some things, but the general composition that is taught by industrial people, is not so good, because it isn't that unique, its for mass-production and everything looking equal... thats how my things stand out :0 I use my own kind of method to compose things that isn't really explainable

This is a really good pixel piece. I could see this on the PJ HoF.
