Badly pixelated.
Edit: (This edit is better...the version I first saw WAS badly pixelated).

wow, Badly commented CMYK46.

I love your artistic point of view. Great job, I knew it was you

its a little cut, copy, paste at random & I was going to comment on the lack of shadowing, until my attention was drawn to the fact that there are lots of characters stood on other characters faces. Layer managment badly needed here I think but easy to fix.

@Geexman, please point out the "LOTS" of characters standing on each others faces, I thought I got them all when a MOD helped me fix this piece at PST, (it was my first manipulation of any merit and I wasn't really sure what I was doing) Now I do know there are a few characters with feet just on TOP of other characters heads, but that had no effect on the resulting image or the goal I was trying to create.

Due the amount of characters, repetition was unavoidable, but the Idea of the piece was to reflect the word CROWD and I KNOW I achieved that.

Also please review step 2, I made 40 new characters from the original 5, to say cut and paste is a bit of a stretch. I know they aren't the greatest creations in the universe and are not 3d, but I did stay true to the source and the over all feel. (I was using PS 5.0 limited at the time) so I had no warp tools or advanced filters so I had to work with what I had.

I kept the image exactly as it finished in the original PST contest, (I have committed this piece to print and it's been in several of my art shows, to change it now would not be right)

Other then that Geexman, thank you so much for your help...

@CMYK, if the image is BADLY PIXELATED ... offer a solution, don't just hit and run with a comment with no aid to the author, it's very bad form and does not improve the site, if you know a solution to a mistake a member has made, offer it up so the member can make the improvement, your hit and run comments with no offer of solution are severely annoying and no one really appreciates them.. they just endure them..

kinda contradictory to be annoyed if someone doesn`t offer help, yet a comment before you are telling me that the overlapping characters "didn't matter". I`d also like to point out that you HAVE improved the pixelation that CMYK pointed out so it must have been a valid & helpful observation however blunt it was.

As requested take it or leave it - http://www.pxleyes.com/picture/27136/4ca89451d6dfc.html

How did I IMPROVE the pixelation.. did I press a magical FIX PIXELATION button??? some sort of filter I don't know about? (please dear god let there be a fix pixelation filter... it would be a godsend) I wonder if it's available through flaming pear)

and err umm.. thanks for the link... I think I'll leave it... I can't make heads or tales of any of them, and 11 circles of an image of 1000s.. really? (give CMYK a big wet kiss for me in your next PM)

Thanks once again for you help, I guess (and chill out, you take this way to seriously)

lol you confuse respect for another male with homosexuality?....... interesting , sorry princess I didn't realize a little critique and advice would result in a childish strop, now I know that you`re self conscious about your flaws I promise to make my comments to you much lighter and less useful.

.... and as soon as you find a way to make a useful comment that doesn't demand an agreement... (if only you were as great as you think you are LOL) that would be amazing

Oh as to being Childish.. that's the greatest compliment in the world.. and I thank you most excellently for that.. hehehe

And yes I am a Princess... a BIG ONE

Smooch and hugs

This would make a great poster!

I like it. It's very cheerful and cartoonish.
