That's awesome! Is there a HQ-version available? :)

Amazing, I really like the background, light... and well, overall coloring, and the Piranha is amazing. O:

Really phenomenal lighting - it looks like the cover to an Aquaria-related graphic novel.  :)

Wow, this is very good - it gives a nice athmosphere (ambushed-feeling or so). I like how you made lightning there. Good details also.

One thing which looks a bit odd (only minor thing), is Naijas ears.  Looks like ears reaches to her chin.

It might look a bit odd from that perspective but i think the "ears" are considerably accurate, in the original sprite they start around the hinge of the jaw which i tried to do as well. Maybe I should have broken the line though.


Other than that, thanks for the compliments, Vetehinen and Chibi.  :)

As I was clearly too shocked to say in my previous post, this is amazing. It's definitely not something you see every day.

I just... I can't... You see... Uhh....

It sure is.


Also, Stalky, your picture is amazing. I love the Abyss, it's one of my favorite places in Aquaria and you've done a great job of portraying it's atmosphere, well done!  ^-^

That's not the A for Alec, but the A for Awesomesauceman.

Ummmmm Xiagan...

What the heck is that?  :o

Stalky, I love your angler fish! In particular, those teeth are ruthless.  8)
And yeah, I know what you mean about the fin-ears; I think you did a fine job getting them right (they're really not quite ears huh). Though maybe I would have shown the join to the head being a bit wider since at the moment it looks like they only join by about an inch right at the bottom. xD I always imagined that the in-game sprites had the connection covered by hair making it appear thinner.
And as the others said, the lighting really is amazing.  ^-^
