Great stuff from everyone, really creative stuff. AdrianJensen you have nothing to fear there, its great already.

I can safely say that AdrianJensen's one is probably one of the top 3.

I always hated Roman stuff...so it took a bit of effort to even do anything. I decided to recreate the painting in the wiki article due to lack of inspiration.

I just wanted to see what I could do within the limitations. I got bored with it and doubt I'll have the time to finish it but I'm putting it up here anyways.

WIP another version of the same idea

if its not noticeably yellow, then its not acceptable.  that is part of the challenge. 

 Thats really good of on a laptop touch pad,  i have a laptop,  and i HATE Using the touch pad.   

I just submitted my first entry.

Here is my progress so far. Ens taught me how to do directional dither.

Here's how my cycle goes:
- I see the new Challenge thread every monday afternoon after school. I get all excited, thinking up concepts and all that. Finish my homework, get some linework done, go to bed.
- Next couple of days I'm just drowned with homework and can't get anything done.
- See all the fantastic pieces that have come in during the week, just give up seeing as I can't imagine making better. Spend the rest of the week-end lazying around and doing nothing. Feel regret on Sunday afternoon when I feel i should have done something.
- Next week... etc.

/me Lol's at ceddo.

@Sampe, I too think the square heads could be better, you don't even need eyes really. Just hint at a crowd with some selected outlining perhaps. Black is somewhat underused.

@drZool, your looks great :D

Stop putting yourself down saxamaphone,  i think it is Quite good,   but it hasnt got much there,  but for what it is,  it's good.

Hey Klav!   thats some great stuff!
Hope to see more animations from you,  this is really Quite good for a first animation.

Khorin,     thats starting to get towards loking nice,    but i agree with the smaller is better thing,   so much easier to make.

Khorin: It's getting beautiful! About the size, yes smaller is easier, I had to shrink mine from 400x300 to 320x240 to cope with all the dithering this challenge needs. (My thunderstruck entry contains almost no dithering)

Whoho! another update! There will be an WIP animation when Im done :)
