Further work added. 8 colours I think(?)

Update :

Now I'm trying to get this roof done..

I'm having a hard time grasping the rest of the words listed as art concepts. Can anyone explain how each of the words can be translated in a mock up? It sounds like an interesting challenge, but I really fell that it's cryptic.

Should I try and add more detail to mine? (quick example)

Terrifying Prehistoric Oregon Trail. Obviously very rough and all the colors are stand-ins, not sure if I will have time to get more done.

Why am I such a bad planner? Very often in works that I do I get ideas along the road and then I bump into problems I had not seen at the beginning... (rolling pin women can not be finished therefor)



Anyway, here is my image of a dancing dino, who is doing Dance Dance Revolution.


However, if this were a real game then the interface part would be way more important and the dino would be on the side or so. This is a terrible game interface..
Does anyone have a suggestion how to fix it, or do you have another game idea featuring a dancing psychedelic dino?

Yeah, that would be an option but it would mostly mean restarting. I am looking for a solution to use what I have now!
Not because I spend too much time on it, just because I like it so far :). I might continue outside of the challenge

Give him a cane and a top hat. 

So I'll make a try cuz I was avoiding posting challenges while doing them for myself -_- then deleting everything I made!

It will be a runner game "whimsical and terrifying". Yep, there is going to be blood and stuff but I need to finish an enemy and few other things.
I got too much excited that animation is allowed so here is a rough sketch:


I'm still thinking about color palette and some effects. I know that her run cycle is weird and fun cuz I'm doing it right now lol Her head is stiff and one leg longer than another.
Woah! I'm so scared to post here ^_^''

I'm not sure either!! I feel like it's better to add some texture to the trees because they look so plain and at the same point I want to keep them plain. Have to think about it

Is it even worth entering now O.o I've seen so amny good ones, haha!

@eclep: I think that it can be used - I do not think it hurts style pixel art

@atpalicis: I like your idea, but I think that you can add the effects of old shabby film (an old movie with Charlie Chaplin).
You just need to complete the cycle of running and add animation of the her head and other her parts - she seems a puppet (perhaps this is a plus)

class, although the rhythm of the first version I like better (three frames of animation of men head)
