Semp's Retirement Poster

A pixel art piece printed as a 30" x 20" poster celebrating MSgt David Sempervive's retirement from the US Air Force using the style of The MSPaint Comic. It features Semp, Beth, Kevin, DJ, Lee, and Matt sitting on the wing of the iconic U-2 Dragon Lady parked on the tarmac of Beale AFB where they all met and where Semp started his US Air Force career.

To the museum's knowledge, this is the first time any artist has used 5-point perspective (the fish eye lens perspective) in high resolution pixel art. This is also the first time Kevin Tracy has used shadow maps for applying shadows to patterned clothing and the second time he has done multi-tone shading with his MS Paint Comic art style.
