Leave it to Ed&Joe to find something 'beyond the image surface' :)

There is some hidden graphics in the right edge of the image (in the black).

I really enjoy looking at this image. Great idea and those eyes are so captivating. Excellent work!

Mirage goes Joe! 8) An intriguing idea, but since their styles are pretty much the complete opposite, it was bound to go wrong at some point. Lars seems to go for his classic colorful detailed anti-aliased pixel-perfection in some areas and does wide dirty joe-style dithering and "monochromeness" in the rest. If those areas were clearly separated it could've worked better, but as it is, it is pretty much just a hodgepodge.. Also, I can't tell stuff apart or recognize anything staircase-like on the left side of the picture...

Hmm. Have mixed feelings about this one. Brings something new and exciting and the composition is simply awesome, but on the other hand I really miss the traditional clean style of Mirage which was the main reason why I felt in love with C64 pixelling in the first place.

Thanks for the comments :)

James: Those darker lines are there to annoy _you_ ;)

Arch: The sloppy pixeling was an experiment - to try and capture the error diffusion. Not sure if it worked out ok :/

Vanja: Sorry for stealing your trademark 'M', i'll try something different next time

Yazoo: There were only 3 workstages - one for each day i worked on this... Not really worth showing

Groepaz and others who said 'what groepaz said': A nice demo takes at least one year to finish and this took 3 days... Do you really mind our next demo will take 368 days instead of 365?

What's with the darker colors of the last 5 lines?

Very nice! I especially like the eyes. Very nice idea and execution. I think it is a bit flawed by the occasional sloppy dithering here and there, but that is of course a minor issue.

I like it, especially the little M in the corner.

Wow, this seems not C64.

Hey come on. There are a lot of worse examples of scrambled faces! This is a good picture.

I really love the title, it works well with the image and makes me want to search for something beyond the image surface. Which by the way look rather interesting compared to other works seen from you, Lars. Here the dither techniques are more complex and feature a lot of darker colour combinations... (a bit 1990s I think... )

I second groepaz.

Design-wise, I'm not crazy about that smudged style on the face, though I like the way it's all put together with the spiral staircase in the background. Pixel style is, as always, pretty faultless!

...Different from you Lars. Nice move further out...

[Edit] J.S: Stairwell.. Probably something to do with staircase to heaven or "something".. Doing somebodys will...
I don't know.. Yep found it: I SELL YA WRATH! Naah.. Lars just pointed out the "STAIRWAY T HELL!"

But my twisted eye has not yet worked too hard on it... ;)
