@Mrmo: That...is just....amazing... However, unless that's paint on the foot of your clock, your shine is backwards.

Here's my first ever challenge submission, I'm pretty sure I'll end up last anyways

I like to focus on the message instead of detail, so all my art is 64x64 max, anyways.
This watch is placed overhead and drops the eggs on you if you don't wake up.

We don't allow that kind of talk here. We expect you to be your best and biggest fan at all times.

Your colors are a little weak because even at this scaled size there is very little contrast.

Another first try here!
The Grandfather Clock!



The Checker/Specs do not seem to work with non Pixel Joint pics... Is there any other way to check my entry, before submitting?

Posted By: jalonso
Date Posted: 07 September 2013 at 12:20pm
The checker should work with any service so long as your pixelart is online.

Pocket Watch Factory - Work in Progress 1

Hi everyone, first submission here. Experimenting with minimal frames/colors with a dash of game design for good measure. Started this on Thursday evening, hopefully I have something I like ready by tomorrow night :)

Taking this serious would mean I'm allowed or rather obligated to vote for my own submission!

But since this is my very first submission here, this question is serious: Am I allowed/expected to vote for my own entry? (In other communities this is not welcome.)

Nobody is going to stop you. But it is frowned upon. It's kind of in bad taste to vote for yourself, if you ask me.

Well, I never intended to vote on my own entry. Only Jalonsos comment unsettled me...
