Description This weeks theme for *EmoticonOpus was "Matrix Action". Well, I usually think we should be allowed to think creatively on the topic at hand, so I made something that might not even be accepted as an entry for the contest itself, bit I really just wanted to make it like this, and that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

In case you haven't seen the movie, or that it's too horrible to see what it actually is, it's taken from the scene in the originall Matrix movie where Neo wakes up in the big harvesting field, or whatever you might want to call it. The foreground was entirely pixeled, but I used some blurring to add depth to the stalks further back, and I also toyed some with the entire thing in the end to make it look nicer. Concider it photomanipulation for a piece of pixel art.

I really don't know where I should put it, so I'm just gonna toss it into the regular emote category, if any GD feels that it doesn't belong there, feel free to move it.

I put a lot of work into this, and it took a lot longer than I had expected, but I'm somewhat happy with the result. Not as good as I wanted it to be, but I hope you all like it none the less.

Oh, and let's hope it's actually accepted into this weeks contest too, eh?

I recognized it! Even from the thumbnail!

Man I saw that movie kinda recently, but missed the huge rescuing-Morpheus scene. I was kinda miffed.

The Matrix, overall, is my favorite move trilogy. I did enjoy Star Wars and Space Marines(Or whatever it's called)as well, but the Matrix had the hard-core action that I was used to, and plus, it actually got some feeling into my feet to make me go learn some advanced martial arts. Now I can break a guy's neck with a sharp upper kick to the Adam's Apple.

God, I'm such a nerd...

Amazing details!
Although with a theme like that, i would probably go with animated, there are so many ideas for matrix emote..

LeoLeonardo In reply to arrioch [2007-11-06 13:24:08 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!

Indeed there is, but I felt like straying from the heavilly animated emotes that are sure to appear as entries, and going with something completely different. A huge static piece was just what I wanted to make.

Nicely done mate! I like the depth of it all. I'm really loving the colour pallete you've used too! Really captures the feel of the movie.

LeoLeonardo In reply to melonhead-emotion [2007-11-05 17:25:05 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, mate, I'm really happy with the colors as well, it really gives it that dark, depressing feeling the movie shows in the shots showing the "real world". Even though the movie used more greens rather than the blues I went with.

melonhead-emotion In reply to LeoLeonardo [2007-11-05 20:33:13 +0000 UTC]

The movie only used the greens when they were actually in the matrix. They used the blues and greys in the real world.

I thought it was a organ-grinder or something (not the good kind )
I love how each pod is slightly different (or at least i think)
I think the pods are overly darened though, so it doesn't give enough distance feel.

LeoLeonardo In reply to Danelaw [2007-11-05 17:27:30 +0000 UTC]

Darened? I'm guessing you mean "darkened", but forgott the K. And, yes, I agree with you there. I'm gonna look it over within a short timespan and see if I can make it look a little better.
