nickoledion made a tv show called real monsters. i was expecting to see a character like that in here. even know you would have to make one of your own version of there characters to make it qaulify, i was expecting more of those kind of entries to be honest. :(

Ok.  Plan "B"

I feel done. And as I'm leaving to my dad's, I have no more time to work on it, so I suppose it is done.
I think I did well.

ekobor: i think those raindrops in the background aren't pixel art.
it looks like the same raindrop resized and with different opacities.

It is the same raindrop. The opacities are not different though. Just larger amounts of white in some than others (if that makes sense?)
I don't think copy paste is against the rules? I could go ahead and make three more rain drops of different sizes, but in the end it would be extremely similar, and a waste of time.

As for the shading Yup, I could probably make it better, but I have run out of time. ^^;; I might come back to it after the contest is over though.

No matter how hard I try and take my mind off of it, all I hear are the sounds of Storm Troopers falling from platforms, Boba Fett falling into Sarlacc pits, No-Faced villains falling from scaffolding, puppets getting shot, robots getting shot, and every other disposable being disposed of. 

Surely a combination of all these things would embody something completely more bizarre than a humanoid creature if combined into one big lump of a monster, yeah?  


Ok, I'll keep trying.

Camlio: only on very dirty water would you see shadows like this. Looks like milk. (Yum, says Nessie)
Manjaman: from your line, I had imagined a no-color-gollum-like thing, but this fiery version rocks! Maybe the antlers shouldn't be the same golden tone?

A few things to fix and I'll be done.
I like my golden antlers >.<
Is the red tail a good idea or should I choose a blue one ?

I think red is okay. That way you dont use a whole color ramp just for the penis.
Maybe you could make an orange tail and penis though. I donno.
Looking pretty cool anyway.
Maybe you could give him some golden balls too =P

Here's mine. It isn't that good as I'm pretty new to pixel art. comments? criticism? any ideas for a background? general mistakes or tips?

I dont think its needed. Now you just need to work on your shading, so it shows the shape of the thing. Right now you just have light in one side and dark colors in the other one. Read that apple thing on the noobtutorials thread, I think it explains what I am trying to say.

Black background is kinda suck, so here is bg wip



Added 5 more colors so its 16 colors overall (I like that number(: ). 

What do you guys think about it?

PS thanks @Manjaman for idea and motivation :D

Just wanted to show it to you before making the back-ground.
EDIT:
Your opinion ?
a3um : something's wrong with your backround, the wall shouldn't be so slanting, and it's too close to your creature. What is the white thing on the the right side ?
