    ENTRY... that already lost.

    I've like... never sprited anything before. So heres a dino, in a suit. Umm... I'll name him Alfred... cause you know, why not? (The story is my internet cut off for a bit, and I remembered this thread, so I pulled up MS Paint and made something up in the last 5 minutes because you know, why not?)

    For some reason I just love seeing minimalist sprites like these. I find them amusing.

    Well, I've been decimated at the last minute... hour... thing.

    Little dinosaur in 5 minutes? He's lovely!
     
  4. It looks like you're tied actually.

    o_O Well then...
     
  6. That was quite a struggle. Tectal won after he took the lead by one point. But I bet neither of you will have trouble winning in future weeks.

    Oooh, a theme that I like! Can't wait to see what people put out for this one.
    That being said, I think this fits it in a sense... It is a strange plant that took the place of a Keyblade. It's also a mario plant... *cough*

  13. Not to beat on a dead horse but i'd like to add that the reason pixel art typically has a limited palette is to encourage artists to improvise. If you had a binary color palette, how can you make something in between? Simple, you mix them through dithering, noise[using the form of random dithering], or patterns and halftones. This allows the artist to judge how much of one color can influence what our eyes can see by relating itself with its neighboring colors. It allows you to focus more on placement of pixels, one of the most important aspects of pixel art, as well as color relationships between a pixel and its surroundings. It also gives you more control over value and less worry on hue and saturation, two of which can be problems in itself. It's all about color theory.

    That, and less colors = less file size.

    And keep in mind, it doesn't really have to be followed.

    My only criticism is that it looks more like a mountain than a flower :p
