Been on winter break for a while and during the last week I wanted to finish one deviation before going back to school work for a long while. I'm not sure when I'll work on something else again and I don't want my first 2008 deviation to be somewhere in the middle of summer. Just made it to as tomorrow I start classes again. Probably a good thing that I went after the one closet to completion.

Started this when I first started seeing the first pixel IDs and once I had the sprite done I unfortunately never came back to finish it (among various other work). After losing the concept that I originally had for the background I came up with a different one which, while not as intriguing as the first , is hopefully subtle. See if you can find the hidden gaming references in the background in total there is: Pacman (with dots, ghost and walls), Counter-Strike emblem, Kotaku logo, PlayStation media bar, Konami Code, Quake emblem, Unreal emblem, Halo Legendary emblem, Space Invader, Tetris, Companion Cube, 'cake', and the Katamari Prince. The raven is from Armored Core which if you played the series you can guess why my name is REBEL808.

It is a bit rushed as I screwed up the colors on the portrait. The coat isn't meant to be a dark brown, it is meant to be black. I screwed up because it was a self portrait and the long coat I own and have been wearing for several years, once black has faded to a dark brown. I'm to lazy to fix the pallete though and am pretty that only a few who will care about the color coordination will notice/see this ID.
