CHALLENGE: April Fool's Gallery III

Well it's that time of year again...

Go to another member's PJ gallery, study their pixels, and fool us into thinking that that person made it.

No copies, only 100% original work.
Think style, technique and artistic sensibility.
You must name the pixel artist in your submission.

No real rules this week but find the parameters set by the artist you choose.
This applies to general size, color choices and don't forget to pay attention to preview icons.

Also have a look at the previous two April Fool's Gallery Challenges [1] [2]

(Yes, this is the real Weekly Challenge!)

Thanks so much to all who took the time to vote and participate in the challenge!

It's a shame that one would have thought this a serious challenge AND pixelled something in the first 12 hours as well. 

delete it asap.

I apologize for being teh awesomeness :P

Won't WIP pieces give away some of the surprise?

I has an idea! *copycat eyes*

I was fooled too.
Here's the lineart and shaded-a-little work.

What is it?

Maybe it's a mother duck who was walking over the road and then got squished by a school bus, then all the school kids got out and started to poke it with sticks?

thats my guess

p.s or a rabbit

For this week's challenge I choose to emulate... *drumroll* ... Ol' Flamey! 8D





(May or may not actually submit this. Haven't decided yet.)

I thought it was adarias, not sure though.
But I like yours arcan, too bad that you won't submit it.

Ye I was trying to copy adarias. The stone tiling isn't the only problem, there are minor things here and there that you may not notice.

...

I think you changed, what, two pixels?

But come on, when are we going to see you really push yourself...There are plenty of amazing artists to imitate for this challenge. Flamey is not one of them. Don't be afraid to really try. Why not imitate one of the artists that you really admire!

Looking through your favourites, I can see you have favourited pieces by Fool, Frankiesmileshow and Orkimides...I know you love animation, so why not do one of them for this challenge??

It's probably too late now, but it doesn't mean you can't still try a piece in one of their styles later on.

Green: we went through this before when Flamey was here...

Cure's comment pretty much sums things up.
