Suggestions and criticism welcome

It's a snugget, not a sheep xD

 

Don't call this a comeback!

 

This is not the greatest comeback in the world, this is just a tribute

 

This is just a tribute. You've gotta believe it. I wish you were there. Just a matter of opinion.
Oh, and happy migration season! Yay for the new thread! (Thanks so much for making it.)

 

ENTRY
It's not good. It's not creative. But it is something.

 

!

My chosen theme for next-next week is -luxurious-, but I think we should follow suarkonin10's lead and deal with the banner first.

(Uh. Yeah, apparently I'm still bad at reading )

 

I'm fine with you using the font but cmon, so much wasted potential T_T

 

So I tried it out and then suddenly realized I can't pixel! I'll probably try again when I'm not in the middle of a request though. But to those who CAN pixel, you 're a better man than I, and good luck. I will be 'like' voting throughout however, and will most likely attempt a contribution anyway before the deadline (quality not guaranteed!)

 

You can pixel if you BELIEVE.

 

Thank you for the encouragement. I'll believe as hard as I possibly can(and then believe harder), and try again.

 

Hell if someone like me can produce something not completely awful I'm sure you can do a lot better. Your digital art is great ^^

 

Thanks! I shall certainly work on a submission for the pixel-off today.

 

ENTRY
Let's forget my Entry before

 

So, someone's been playing a Glitch recently,


Also I assume we'll also need to update the rules/winners etc headings

 

Oh man, that is niicccee.

 

Oh man, This is great. It makes me think of Witcher hardcore though.
And honestly, we'll only change those if the winner feels the need.

 

Just a little fyi, I'll also take gifs to decorate the thread with so if you don't want to make a banner a little gif is just as good.

 

wow this is impressive. im planning on participating later but im afraid id be no good for this week's theme

 

So, does everyone else agree that we should cut the challenge off today and then get back on an "actual" weekly schedule? Pick a winner on Sundays and start new challenges on Mondays, that way the winner has actual time to make a decision on the next theme and we get a chance to properly admire their work.
If everyone is alright with this I'll change the rules to specify the times and @Ifrix will once again be crowned the winner, with their header replacing the current one.
