Great challenge 7even, seems you struck a sweet spot :D
Do I have to pixel the whole knight, or can I pixel just the helmet/leg/finger/etc?
You're limiting yourself too much. Why should you make skin with a skin color? Why would show skin? Why can't a beast be purple? Why making the beast for the rider when it's so much interesting making just the rider look like he COULD TAKE on a wild beast?
I think I'm giving too many tips :o
serious attempt to win that background competition and stop everybody else from asking stupid question again for ever:
can i pixel a firefighter instead?
Usually, it's a knight who quit following his Order and probably began acting by his own will.
i hope this is open for interpretation cause i'll deffo do the michael-knight =D
