STE... This pic is fresh and nicely drawn. Good use of coloring and shadowing.
I released a few logos a couple years ago and received comments from everybody about how they thought the artwork should have been done. Even had people give me a color flow chart! Dither this, blend that, AA a bit, lettering too sharp or hard to read. I took some comments in stride and others left me feeling like I didn't draw MY image according to how I saw it in my minds eye.
The only real conclusion you can come to is this: Are YOU happy with it. No other opinion should matter!
Take some constructive criticisms because they do help you grow. You will never please 100% of the people and you should always expect that when you release anything to the public.
Keep on with your pixels! |

| I wasnt going to comment on this release, as I had nothing to say. Sure I spotted the snake was from Walt Disney's - The Jungle Book, and the lower jaw caught my eye, as the anti aliasing could have been smoother. The rest of the image looks like filler. Its ok for a Loading screen, so long as Disney dont mind. Its a long way of scene demo greatness, and not one of STE86s better C64 works. |

Have to agree with Groepaz ... in fact in the past I've suggested more than once to Perff that an option to "disable comments" should be added and able to set by the person making the entry. You can easily post your comments through the "discuss this release" link.
But, I pointed it out already, STE has complained in this comments thread that everyone should use the "discuss this release" avenue, yet he loves to do the same slagging in others release comments. Totally hypocritical really, in the end you get back what you dish out.
I do like the image, it's goofy looking ... first the larger snake head and then the other one popping up in the back of the image. The whole idea that anything created for C64 scene release has to be some masterpiece anymore is really getting out of control. Ragging really isn't necessary, because as in real life there are all sorts of "art".
Lastly, shitloads of budget releases used "inspiration" for their title/loader screens in all the years past. Whats the big fuss now?
PS: Your further postings here Daniel certainly are egging on the drama really, not helping in any fashion. Especially with the childish picture posting. |

Lemming: I'm fairly sure most people here are in it for the fun.
I do think it's wrong to take a Disney character and use it for the loader screen of a game that is being sold (unless you somehow got permission from Disney which I doubt). That does not mean that I dislike STE, nor does it mean that I want to take people's fun away from them. It is possible to have an opinion on the matter without being a fun-hating anti-STE monster, isn't it? |

@Deev: Ah, certainly no nuskooler's even been rude and sarcastic, but STE has, so now it's payback time! :)
Well I hope y'all do your best to present your karmic redistribution or have your revenge right here, and next time someone releases a pic, you might not feel the need for such an attitude anymore.
I am a manager/architect at a Finnish IT-company which recently had to fire a lot of staff because of the current mobile phone market (and because the lords, the owners, need their half-assed stock money), and the morning this pic came out our "co-operation negotiations" were complete and the staff had to be informed who's in and who's out. I was feeling like shit, until I saw this pic. I was thinking "cool, haven't seen a cartoonish pic from STE'86 yet!", and thought it was great fun. As I wrote down there in my first comment, it really made me smile: It gave me power to go through that day at the office.
So I ask, when did the scene stop being fun and became an altar which 'professional artists' wank on? I really thought people did these things for the fun and the competition of things.

Mermaid: I disagree with your first point. There are better foras (?) for that. I agree on the second point concerning the character ripoff.
Btw, there's not just AA changes in ptoings version. There are also some more or less "big" changes as well (the extra tongue and the "v"). The posted images were obviously not posted just to show the AA technicalities (which I still think made the image look worse). |

Kristian: Yes, I think it is ok to post an edited pic to prove ones point, in this case the point that it is technically possible to antialias the entire snake. If I did a FLI pic and someone said "that could be done in MCOL and would look just as good" I wouldn't be terribly upset if they tried it and posted the edit.
I certainly do not think it is any worse than taking someone else's character without permission and using it in a commercial release.
How do you feel about those two things? |

Oh come on, it's not like Ptoing drew a whole new fullscreen picture from the scratch! And how's that snake-tongue "just proving a point about anti-aliasing"?
Yeah I saw what he wrote on #c-64 before posting these, didn't seem so innocent to me.
PAL already wrote the words of wisdom which I would've hope had been enough, but no..
Since "the spirit of the scene" was mentioned...;
If someone codes a routine that's better than somebody else's previous routine, that's the spirit of the scene.
If someone RIPS someone else's routine and add a few bytes to it and then calls it better, that's the very definition of a lamer.
Since some folks seem to lack the empathy to realize why I call this "being rude on an epic scale", or as Carrion quick simply stated "lame", I guess I still have to "bend the iron wire" like we say in Finland..;
To the persons who are defending this: Next time you see a new cracked and trained game release, would you take the existing crack+trainer and add another trainer to it in order to prove it can have more/better trainers?
How do you think the original releasing group would react?
(and before you even think about mentioning PAL/NTSC-fixing or importing, that's different and you know it)
Apparently some of you simply don't like STE'86, which is not any kind of excuse for fucking around like this. If you think "he deserves it" because he's fucked around with you/your group/friends/family/pets/whoever, shouldn't you be more civilized and stay above it??

This is my $.02: I think if you say you didn't do something because it isn't technically possible to do it, you just have to suck it up if someone proves you wrong in public - kind of the spirit of the scene. The worst reaction is to change your previous story and suddenly claim you didn't do it for purely artistical reasons or whatever.
Yes, I think Ptoing's version is better, and that STE has done much better pictures than this, but perhaps I'm not oldschool enough to have a valid opinion. Anyway, it's not bad, and I hope by saying that I can avoid a shitstorm of insults. |

| What I don't get is why you would wanna AA an image when it clearly looses quality? Yes, the snake got AA'd, but there's no distinct, cartoonish black outlines anymore. Instead there are some brownish, some blueish and not to mention blurish outlines instead. It the remakes were done to prove a point, it failed in my opinion. |

Carrion: The whole "it's my style" thing is a very nice way to limit artistic growth. What I have seen from people like Mermaid, Mirage, Archmage, they can actually draw and come up with their own stuff. JSL, does his own stuff, and it is pretty cute and funny sometimes, but there is a lot he could improve about his artwork. As could others. Tho to me it seems that a lot of artists here in the scene just do stuff as a fun outlet but they have no real artistic drive. It's like doing some drawing in grade school and then your friends go "wow, that is a nice space monster". They just want some praise or be left alone. Not even constructive criticism is wanted. This is about the worst atmosphere for artistic growth to happen.
And I think this has been mentioned for the 5th time now, I did not edit STE's pic to show him up, I just did it to show that it IS possible to aa it more and make it smoother, because he said otherwise. But this discussion is getting ridiculous, so this will be the last thing you will hear from me on it. |

Wow. You're still arguing about this, unbelievable.. And the emotions have even stepped up a notch, now adjectives like "violent" and "horrible" are used to describe my comment. Will you guys dial down on the amphetamine for a second and actually *read* what I wrote down there?
Two things that blow this whole "it's his style so leave him alone blah blah" out of the water:
1) Steve does do Antialiasing. Even in this picture, Have you even *looked* at it instead of writing diatribes about my comment? It's just the execution that leaves to be desired..
2) Steve never said "I don't want no antialiasing in this", but instead claimed that it cannot be done better. Which is simply not true, see exhibit A from Ptoing further down. Jaggies are *not* a "fact of life", even in Standard Multicolor..
You claim something cannot be done, someone else proves you wrong. Hello and welcome to the c64 scene! 8) |

This is actually quite an interesting comparison of two styles. whilst I think Ptoing's is the more technically accomplished, for the most part prefer Ste's. I can't explain why exactly, perhaps it's partly nostalgia in that it's got a more 80s/early 90s style that I associate with game loader screens.

Are you all on the path to try and kill the scene again?
One artist did something for the old outdated platform we all love, he did a title-screen for a new game on the c64 in 2011 for you all to enjoy. He has to stand here and defend his work in such a horrible way... again and again people try to put things down? Why are you doing this so much? Why is it so important to corner up the active members of the scene and try to nail them all the time... What is the nature of this? What is the motive?
Should we not inspire and be nice so that more people do stuff again? Or to get people doing stuff to do more, just because it should be fun for us all?
Continue to explain and to behave badly like this and no one wants to do stuff anymore...
It is a shame really. Most of all it is sad and it makes me for one wonder about this hobby of ours more and more. Shame on you all for destroying good and fun times, for me that is the truth of this. It is so self destructive and reminds me almost of some sort of depression.
Will it be safe to visit the LCP party?
Maybe they can hire some health care specialists in white clothing with a red cross on their chest to look after us? Just for the safety of us sane attending?
Djesus what drama over a 160x200 16 color pixels image on the c64 created in order to just make a game look better for you all... I were asked if I were interested in doing a loader thing for a game, I guess I am not interested anymore, because first I have to say no to other things in life that are important to me, then I have to work to create something I think is nice... but then I guess I have to defend every pixel in the image or animation or what ever in a way too... what a waste of time and energy that would be for me...
PS: I think STE version is better, because what is that brown on the floor? snakescat? I do not like the grey pixels in the blue wall also... and the rest, it really just blurs down the image for me... sorry. |

STE: Of course I edited it in such a way that it is more pleasing to, but I would also generally say that antialiased graphics on a whole look nicer than jaggy black outlines.
If by stray colour pixels you mean the fact that on the C64 you can not may for example a green gradient with more than 3 greens, as there are none, then yes. But that is just one of the limitations of the C64 it is nice to play around with.
Though everyone, let's cool down. I promise I wont go around editing peoples stuff on here again, unless someone asks for critique (which is highly unlikely) |

I do agree that if you can only aa a bit, it usually is better to not do it (like in hires or afli). |

| Carrion: I did it because of what STE said: "but realistically what would be the gain in perfectly smoothing 5% of the snake when the other 95% isn't? it would just draw attention to all the bits that can't be done. so my zen is that the c64 in MC mode when using areas of solid splashes of colour will generate jaggies as a fact of life. So I just philosophically accept it and move on." This is totally unfounded and not true, and that is why I did it. You can call my attempt pathetic, but it is just as pathetic to assume things which are simply untrue in order to feel better about your art or whatever reason. Anyway, I did not intend to hurt anyones feelings, one would assume a 44 year old man can take some criticism. In any case I wont do it again, once is enough. |

I know what that clipart is based on, and I know that the animators at Disney reused massive parts of old stuff for newer movies, esp Robin Hood. Still Kaa and Sir Hiss look pretty different if you look at them in still images. And ideally you could just have posted the image you referenced from in the production notes, no?
Also Kaa has different nostrils in the movie than in your image and that clipart I posted, so I take it you did use that clipart as ref. |

Deekay, STE: It is possible to pretty much aa the whole thing with a bit of thinking. It could probably be nicer in places, but I do not have all day for this :P
PRG removed
And more saturated version for people who like it a bit happier.

+ for the sir hiss inspiration
+ for the logo
actually it is a charming game intro pic and i also like the usage of colors. cartoony, cheerful, bright. by using brown or dgray to antialiase c64 green you instantly reduce saturation and color purity. imo this way is a good compromise. btw i recommend oys' artwork in this case. |

carrion: well, if you define "char" as 8x8 matrix, yes, I am only talking about "char" as in "8 pixels horizontally", cause vertically chars only matter in FLI with MCol....
As for the difference between good and bad black outlines, just compare for yourself:
exhibit A, B and C:
Lick it oldskool
Datazombies From Hell
Concubism
exhibit D to ZZZZZZ:

Deekay: very true about the inside. but realistically what would be the gain in perfectly smoothing 5% of the snake when the other 95% isn't? it would just draw attention to all the bits that can't be done. so my zen is that the c64 in MC mode when using areas of solid splashes of colour will generate jaggies as a fact of life. So I just philosophically accept it and move on.
so do i get Kenz to put your name down for one of the forthcoming releases then? MC or hires only obviously because of tape loading. |

STE: Perhaps you should work on your social skills and not take any criticism as personal offense? ;-) I've given you enough praise where it was due - now please allow me a bit of criticism... And Lt. Blue is not inside the head - unless you made it $d021, which I doubt, since all oldskoolers work with $d021 = 0! ;-) btw: NUFLI has only a max. of 3 colors per char, that's one less...
Edit: Now that you mention it: I did make something quite similar some years ago for some iPod Linux game that never got finished (back then when iPods were still b/w and had only 4 shades of grey):

| For me this is a cartoon looking image, a cartoon style with a outline on the shapes. For me it looks like a title-screen and it brings the vibe of older games and feelings of a lot in-game moods one had in the youth years and I like that. When that is said I am not a true fan of the style myself, but it is really nice crafted and all is good work. It feels like a game from an 8-bit platform, and that were some of the aim here I do believe? And I hope to see the game soon, maybe the title-screen is just right for the package in a way.... It is playful and all... I think JSL do create some cool images sometimes but everyone can see that this is much more than the normal JSL image, I think that this is professional in every way. |

| Okayish, but not your best. Could do with a bit more antialiasing here and there (e g. the head: lt.green-green-black - whatever happened to the fourth color?) and the Logo seems to say "Hyper Yiper", but overall it's a nice titlescreen. Not a big fan of black outlines in Multicolor I must say (hello JSL! 8), only very very few people can actually do this right (e.g. Archmage).... |
