I still have no answer to my question *insert sad looking face here*
 
Question:
Does the canvas HAVE to be 320x240, or is (for example) 320x200 allowed too?

Oh, I'm so sorry, but it's too late
I already used some dither brushes in my work (in Helm's way)and it can't be undone.
Hope that gods don't put me in hell for that
Next time I'll try to be a good boy

I don't think it should really matter if you use a tool to dither or not, but 90% of the time you're better off doing it by hand, you learn more and it looks better, the beautiful thing about pixel art is it shows how much better man can be compared to machine-made effects ;)

(well actually everyone knows the beautiful thing about pixelart is all the demoscene tits and dragons but whatever...)

edit: ~50% now

The size IS and can ONLY be 320x240. If you really can't fill those extra 40 pixel blocks, paint them black like a movie strip or something...

Just wanting to say that I'm entering this and I've been working hard on my piece the last couple of days. It's the biggest thing I've ever worked on and it's going to probably have a few faults but so far I've learned so much from it and these next 2 days I'm gonna be all over this sh*t because I really want to enter as this will be my first challenge.
 
But setzer your picture is looking wicked...

I would say yes because the rule does not say 'max 320 x 240'

Okay this kind of confused me, because the colors also doesn't say "max 32 colors". So I went by this and went crazy with colors... Then I looked at all the other submissions and realized that I everyone has under 32 colors.
 
So... sh*t. 
 
Dammit man, I really wanted to enter this challenge... I really worked friggin HARD on this picture jal, rediculously hard.

I fell asleep at 3 in the morning and left the oven on last night.
 
Well anyways, this is what I did, I've already submitted it into the challenge, but here it is...:
 
 
Is there anyway I can submit this?

I think if you hustle, you can get this down to 32 colors before the deadline. I just picked at a bit in Photoshop and saw that there are lots of opportunities to unify colors, plus you've got more than a few that are only used on one or two pixels.

This is great, by the way. I'm really impressed.

Whew! I was gonna give up and not reduce the colors but when I started picking at it myself I actually drove about 30 miles to a friends house to use the computer.
 
A few things happened to the sky and the ground that I didn't really like, but other than that, seeing how many colors I originally used I thought it was gonna turn out looking like a C64 game or something. Thankfully it still looks somewhat decent:
 
 
Hatch if you wouldn't have said anything I seriously would have said f**k it. Thanks for your opinion!
 
Anyways, There it is, hope it at least gets a participation ribbon.
 
I kid. Like it matters, I'm sure Illke and Fool are going to submit at 11:59 and invert our anuses with greatness.

Really great job and great dedication, man. And as a bonus, I bet you learned more about color unification than you ever wanted to

Okay so I'm at my school computer lab right now and I got a message from Sedge saying just to submit the 32 color on in the original submission, so I did and everything is cool now.

I was a bit too busy last week for the Parallel Worlds challenge...

Here's as far as I got:



I'm wondering If I should try and finish it or just go for this weeks challenge and scrap this one entirely...
