Sure you can work on more than one but only one of them will be in the vote(?).


anyway humbug.

i aint oing this, ery busy with the pixelation secret santa ( my partner is a toughy) although it sounds nice.

I'm a bit confused on that. By 'attached' do you me show the palette in the entry or submit a second picture with the entry that only has the palette?

I going to attempt 12 drummers drumming, not for the palette but so i can do some lil dudes drumming as an animation =])

Just one little thingy... expand the challenge time for another 7 days ;) :P

Where is everyone 

Is it a 1 week challenge or a 2 weeks ? (I love being a noob)
Jal, do you want to destroy my eyes with your bright magenta letters ?
Ok, ok I stop off topic speaking...
The challenge is interesting because of the choice we have, each one corresponding of a number of colors

congrats...so far you've won

4 Morgan Cook: Nice work man, but there isn't word "drums", there is "drummers" in challenge submission..... However, it's very good idea....

Well, here I have a work in progress Partrige in a Pear Tree. One color seemed like an interesting challenge.
I'm gonna do all twelve and submit them as a compilation later on.

Well, two if transparency counts, then. Whatever.  I did forget about the User Choice, though. My silly pattern logic assumed one subject, one color.

4 Morgan Cook: Okay, okay.... how I said it's very good idea, your drums drumming....I like it anyway

so its true... everyone is busy with their secret santa activities.

Can you guys help me improve my drums? 

I liked this topic, but I've been working on my Santa thing.  I'll take a break and try to make an entry if I can think of anything...

Morgan: i think some more vibrant colours will help with this--you've got 12 colours to work with, I think you can eliminate some of the close shades and add a different hue .  In general, pure greys are a bit boring, I suggest trying out adding a little bit of colour to it to warm it up a bit.

White cat in a snow storm.

Good luck submitting that. 

least inspiring challenge ever, honestly.

If I joint this one, Ms. Mash would be 1st and me 2nd.

challenge finished or not?

That looks nice, but I'm terribly sorry to inform you that that challenge ended already. (they end on Sundays at midnight.)

HOWEVER, there is good news, the new challenge allows you to redo any previous challenge. So you can entry this in the new one.
