I admit when I saw something labelled as pixel art with some textures I was initially in irrational rage mode, but then I saw it wasn't in the pixel art section of dA. But that isn't really relevant sorry >_<
The point is this is an amazing piece of work, the contrast of the weathered '

Haha thankyou so much for not getting stuck into me (and for the kind comment)! I really want to make a picture book, I just have to get a story together. It might be pixel based, or maybe just hand drawn.

If you could get the hand drawn/pixel based parts balanced, it could be really nice! You could try using a sponge and a stencil. If you wrote a basic story about the Dinosaur in your original piece, I think it'd make a beautiful children's story!
Have a look at binding techniques, I've looked at a few during my last uni module of this term, and making a book made a change from all the posters I've made!

Great ideas mate! The sponge idea is really good - I might just try it... I love book binding, by the way. I too did some for a uni assignment... time consuming, but great fun.

I'd love to see this in book form, if you were to make it a book and needed any crit I'd love to help!
On a semi-related point, how did you resize the pixels? When I use Photoshop to resize them, it tries to smooth it by blurring.

You have to select "nearest neighbour" instead of "bicubic intoperlation". Photoshop defaults to a resize method that is more suited to photographs and drawings.
