I just got in a fight with transparency and I think I may have won, but I'm not sure. The color I set to be transparent was not fuschia, though.
![]() Fuschia makes my wip look even worse than it already is.
If this isn't acceptable as a cake I may have to consider forgoing this week's challenge. It's basically a frosting covered cake with a few marzipan leaves stuck on. If an elaborate wedding cake is acceptable, I don't see why this wouldn't be.

If I say I have an idea and that I plan on entering something, are people going to start placing bets if it happens or not?

Been a guest lurker / wannabe pixel artist for a million years; this is the first thing I've submitted here, or ever, really.
It's a melktert (milk tart). Still WIP, and I need to drop a colour. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I know it's not really much to go on, but I'm sure there are a million technical things I'm getting wrong. ![]() Edited by GeometriX - 03 May 2011 at 2:35pm |

@Ruski, try to work on your palette a bit. The yellow ramp is especially weak in that it has very little contrast and all reads as one color. Experiment with the colors. Watch the outer edges this needs to be on a trans BG and you have some ugly jaggies there. Look at God_Is_Evil, AG182
and Biffo's
above and notice the color ramps have enough contrast to help define the cake.
@God_Is_Evil...nice ![]() |

Did you submit it? I don't see it in your gallery :( If you only posted it in this thread, then unfortunately it won't be in the challenge. You must submit it to the gallery and then check the Weekly Challenge box for it to be included.
