Besides moving your mouse around, zooming in and out also works beautifully (might put a bit of a strain on your system though). Given the sheer amount of work for one piece, with The Three Graeae appearing to be around 1000 lines of code, I'm also quite amazed he managed to produce seven. Brilliant, and Art indeed.

Zooming just decreases the resolution for me. I'm on Windows+Chrome. What does it do for you?

Very much the same (also as daodedickinson wrote), and I hope I didn't send you on a (short) wild-goose chase with this. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the author took resizing / zooming the window into account and I thought it gave some nice insight on how the features of the pixel art change with scale (without the canvas actually visually shrinking).

This is absolutely bloody amazing. The cleverness with the `Zeus` artwork was equally entertaining as it was bloody amazing ².

I'd love to hear about the inspiration behind the project.

I like this. A little bug has snuck into the code somewhere: If you move your mouse pointer directly into a corner, the script fails with "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of undefined". I presume it is a division by zero when the image height or width becomes zero.

Holy crap, very cool! At first glance I thought it was just a neat little resizing trick, but then Zeus morphed right before my eyes and I did a double take. The way it responds to your movement makes it really effective in a way that would be extremely hard (impossible?) to reproduce in a static image or even a video.

Does this work on anyone else's phone? I just get a heavily pixelated virtually unrecognisable picture. (iPhone 6 - same for both Chrome and Safari)

IPhone 6s, the image dragging works, but only the first picture is displayed. The selector doesn't appear.

IPad Air, works perfectly. Image selector appears and you can switch images. Dragging works as expected.

I got a good chuckle out of the Sphinx one -- the guy is standing in front of it saying "look, a sphinx!", and then if you make it vertical he's all "oh shit! a sphinx!". At least that's how I saw it.

Pretty awesome!
