I have not played "The Day of the Tentacle" but I love "Maniac Mansion". I like the old tentacles.

Thought I would take part in this contest. Seemed like fun.
Anyways here is my WIP.

I am wondering if perhaps, branch/vines count as tentacles. Could anyone tell me if this is perhaps allowed or not before I work on this anymore. Also, not sure if I am over the limit of the colors, I will check onto that.

Well, added some clouds and what not.

Looks good, Bryroz. Hopefully it will be let in.

Also, thank God the zoom function on this forum in finally fixed. Today is the first day I have been able to see actual crisp pixels.

The zooms look a little blurry and anti-aliased to me. [Also...trying to come up with a unique concept for this...stumbling.]

Could anybody help with the pole thing here? I've been trying with the lighting for a while and I can't seem to get it.

My image is going to be based on http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luprdrAUU31qbeny2.jpg - this symbol.

This seemed like a fun challange soo I thought I'd give it a try. Here's what I have done so far :)

I'd scale it down quite a bit, because its more of oekaki. So probably scale it down or add a lot more pixel level details to it, which is going to take a long while because of its size.

This is what I got so far.

@a3um: If you're going for a good perspective shot, I'd make his extending tentacle shoot toward the camera a little more.
