   Really cool idea!  Why don't you add red to your palette - the digital data can then provide an interesting contrast ... just a suggest - I love

	Oh...blonde moment I guess - I'm the kind of person who'd buy a car because it's pretty (not bothering to notice it has no engine!) LOL! Didn't know they didn't have red light thingies =) Anyway - I like

	I've had yet another idea - reference and WIP below...need help with colouring ... The light is supposed to fade away towards the right - almost like those explosions in space...think armageddon asteroid splitting light effect...

	LOOK! Less dithering! Can't believe it! I like this one better...want to add in texture on the egg cell - will experiment with some patterns...been getting lessons from a pro!

	Yet another update... played with a circular dithering pattern I think this is the first attempt of mine that looks like real pixel art!...I might be wrong.... I think I'll call this one: Conception - The final frontier! Where we shall strive to splice no more infinitives and only dither when we need to!

	Looks good, tho it seems like the lightsource is in between the two cells? It also looks kinda flat, since the shading gives a really 2 dimensional feeling. And what the heck is that thing around the sperm?
	Without me, it's just aweso

	Thanx everyone! Lemme 'splain.... This is the the little swimmer that could - the light source is indeed inbetween the two cells as it is kind of drawing the one towards the other - the "thing" around said swimmer is kind of a light-wake he's causing due to his exteme efforts in getting to his final destination! hope that clarifies - as for flatness...wellllll you can either have round and over-dithered or flat and slightly dithered with me - still getting my head around a LOT of these concepts... PS: Gen/anom - I love the angler fish - they are the coolest predators! Spirou - lookin' freaky good :) Thanks Lucas =) Edited by Celri - 01 July 2009 at 8:49am

	Gnah. Photobucket is being extreeeeemely difficult today! It keeps giving me the same image tag as my first WIP, so I'll use tinypic instead :\| The jaggedness of the angler's head (the yellow bit above the mouth) is supremely annoying. Any help would be much appreciated!!! I've tried messing around with it, but this is the best I can get :S

	I was not sure what part you are talking about so i applied the general smoothing that i would do to the yellow parts.

	*Originally posted by God_Is_Evil* I was bored so i made a example of the star idea iwas talking about. Cool. But then the glow would be a star, and stars arent that mysterious, are them? :P *Originally posted by Dr D* @lucasLooks pretty nice, but it doesn't really make sense. (If it doesn't bother you, then by all means, keep going.)If light was hitting his face, as we on the left of his face, naturally, the skin color would be shown.. in color. (Unless he was really pure white for some reason.) Thus making me believe that the black-and-whiteness is more of a stylistic choice. Having color on only one part of the picture kind of confuses that.Anyways, the contrast between b-n-w and color is nice. Yeah. I was gonna make it just black and white, but then God is Evil told me I should add another lightsource with color, so I did. =P Think I ll stick with these colors though, even if they dont make sense. :/ Edited by lucas_irineu - 03 July 2009 at 12:05pm

	@minipuck Just a suggestion but what about using a bare tree, or a lightning struck tree, so you could have a creepy silhouette and cast some interesting shadows...?

	This is what i've got so far: but I have no clue as to how I can create the 'glow'. I'd like to do something like this but again, I'm not sure how to do that. Anyone mind starting me off? Also, any other tips?

	My tip is look at the picture you already provided. :/ Dennis' piece is also a good idea for how to start your glow The rays are what I'm talking about.

	I worked on it some more and now I've got this: Ignore that stray white pixel. I want to ray to fade off, and for that I'd have to dither, but I don't want to make it look like I Just learned what dithering is and I'd like to abuse it whenever possible.

	im not sure, im not great at lighting but i think you made a mistake, the closest side of the box is the lightest side, but it also is the side where shadow is. Seems a bit weird to me.
	please click it, otherwise it will die, and it seems special.

	Shoot, I submitted my piece (http://www.pixeljoint.com/pixelart/44610.htm) but time is running short. If it isn't accepted by the challenge deadline does that mean its invalid? I would hope not because I submitted it 4 hours short of the deadline.

	no, you can even just submit it 1 second before the deadline i believe, the person who starts the voting and stuff will have a look at all the final unapproved pieces.

	I know challenges aren't about winning... but last place? Not exactly what I had intended... I didn't think my piece was that bad, I was hoping for maybe not in the top 3 but certainly the top 5.
