The original is based on a pencil sketch, inked to be the actual reference used for pixeling which was done in PhotoShop with a touchpad. Colour clashing was checked mostly manually (no editor for the mode) and in the end from the bug report(s) from Copyfault.
Workstages in visual too:

@Electric I did indeed Google Rubens, i get what you have attempted, and a mighty fine attempt it is.
Prior to seeing Rubens and pondering space and zero gravity, i had also entertained the idea - they could be dancing underwater. One of characters appears to be upside-down, similar to a swimmer somersaulting below the surface. |

@Wile Well, to be honest I was merely pondering on 'how the hell I'll get the faces done in such small sizes so that they'll look human not orcs'.
What comes to 'flying' my aim was to make sorta 'dancing spiral in the air'. This 'zero gravity' is very common with the era of paintings I'm referring to. As said, just google some Rubens' paintings and you'll prolly immediately face something close to this. Back in the days 'flying' was often referred to angels and it worked as divine symbol.
Besides that nudity does not equal to pr0n :) |

@Electric The guy nearest the screen might be thinking - ‘my what a strong grip you have..’ ‘what broad shoulders..’ ‘looks like I am about to exit the game..’ ;D
It is good when a picture gets the viewer thinking. I was left pondering what was actually happening?
Go to thoughts included the notion of adults in space, hence the zero gravity, playing a game that involves being naked (for some unknown reason). Similar to musical chairs, the game might involve every male grabbing the nearest female once the music stops. Who ever grabs the female (who was once a male) is out of the game. |

| @Wile Hehe, will leave that to you, you dirty rat :D … anyway, got my mind on Rubens and all that stuff here. Just google and you'll get the vibes of the era. Honestly did not think anyone 'd find this sexual but merely natural. Being a feminist myself got no intention to get sexist. There's a long tradition in demoscene with that stuff indeed. Let's flush that all down the drain… |

There is slightly comical side to this image..
Check out the two characters at the front, nearest the screen, the man reaching out to/holding on to the topless one..
The look on his face ;D
If there was a thought-bubble, what words might it contain? |

It runs just fine, unless you are doing it wrong on purpose. |

Interesting.
Thanks for the post work stages. |

| @Titus Cheers - think the workstages are kinda necessary here, as they explain quite a lot of the image indeed… plus it's a good way for someone interested on how this kind of image can be created… plus when there’s a compo the workstages separate the ‘converted & fixed’ from the original art. Well, this is all obvious but I keep on repeating it :) |

| This is painted really good. When i look at it on my monitor, it even gives me a small three-dimensional impression, i.e. some of the persons almost look like you could grab them. |

| @flotsam Yup - just now realized some people might see this as erotic though I was merely thinking classic arts from the baroque times. Our art history is just a catalogue of nudes. |

Oh dear, I should've never added any alternative timer init code, not even as a fun-thing. Sorry for having created so much ado.
Shortly put, please use an emulator that is capable of SHX and friends.
And please stick to comments on the actual artwork. Electric and his outstanding picture deserve it;) |

| There is no problem with the emulator. (And it is not an "anti emulator trick" either) |

| Yeah. Blame the users, not the emulators. Way to go. :D |

| If there is a keyboard check to bypass the anti-emulator trick means it's s there only to annoy x64 users and not because it's some needed code and it really requires x64sc/other emulators/real HW. *shrugh* |

| Couldn't fap to this even with all the nudity, but other than that I like it a lot. Freshness factor in C64 scene context is high with this one. |

| Copyfault: Works under Vice 2.4, so older is not an issue here. ;) I'll keep to 2.4. It was always my favourite. |

| The picture is absolutely beautiful. The colours blend absolutely nicely; gives me some feeling of C=+4-colours. |

| Cool stuff! Reminds me of Emanuel Vigeland Mausoleum in Oslo. Check it out. |

@hedning: emulator issue again. Used the same code as for the other pictures that were done in collab with electric.
Checked it and fortunately, the work-around gimmick code is also in here! So keep 'C=' + '<-' pressed during decrunch and it should work also on older emulators. |
