Pixel Art Challenge: Wilhelm Screamer
News Details
Design your own fictional creature that makes the sound of the Wilhelm Scream. Try to really think about how the Wilhelm Scream sounds and consider what kind of creature would/could make that noise. The creature must be original and non-humanoid. You may add a background to your image, but it is not required.
For reference, some samples of real life animal noises can be found here and here
Edit: note that the purpose of this challenge is to depict a creature that makes the sound of the Wilhelm Scream (for example, the way a pig would oink or a cow would moo - see links above relating to animal sounds) as oppose to depicting a character who is shown as making this noise because they are in agony.
Canvas Size - Max 256 x 256.
Colours - Max 32.
Transparency - Optional.
Animation - Optional.
The challenge thread will have all the challenge updates. The thread is also a great place to post your WIPs.

hmm, judging from the challenge thread and the entries submitted, this is gonna be a bird pixeling contest. and i'm not good at birds..
256 x 256 is the size of sprays in Valve games, so you can turn your pixel into a spray.
Gorgeous challenge, I always wanted to create an animal kind !
Bracing myself for a none stop wave of ape and parrot like creatures.
got an entry in progress... let's see how the week progresses.
I'm thinking of a cutesy little Chocobo-ish bird with hands, very colorful, big beady eyes and a goofy smile -- with a Wilhelm scream as a mating call. =D
Haha I have an idea, but I'll see if I can pixel it the same way I see it in my head.
Edit: Nevermind, it doesn't work with the rules. Maybe I'll come up with something else.
Sounds like a mandrake/ mandragora from castlevania- Dwn of Srrw. lol
I've got a feeling I'm going to like this challenge, already got an idea!
For some reason I anticipated that it was going to be the Jurrasic park T - rex noise.
the sound rly doesnt give much room for interpretation ... think im going to work on personal stuff this week ^^
Very interesting challenge!
Well it was until I heard the sound, anyways. That sounded very humanoid.
Non-humanoid makes it difficult. I wish everyone luck. :]
