An MS Paint scribble of penguins dressed like Valkyrie and riding seahorses that I just made at school and will work on it when I get home. Inspired by http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ewliSfm3bgs/UACd1MjgLgI/AAAAAAAAAGg/AtHSJq49L4o/s1600/valkyries.jpg - this .

5 mins in mspaint just to check the idea.
I guess it might work... if I will animate it. 
And yeah - I am probably going to use straight black and white colors. :) UPDATE: here's an animation test. I don't have time to draw at all :( Hope I will be able to do something on the weekend.

Somehow inspired by Mrmo Tarius' first piece, though in no way comparable in quality:
Colours still to be defined |

So many good pieces already.
*This challenge has brought up all the good memories from 2006 when PJ was ALL about penguins thanks to BtG.* @Eggy, work on being clean and precise in your pixel placements and clusters, k. ------------- |

 A walking penguin wip!  Arms raised so it doesn't look like an owl, maybe? |

Finished mine, but a bit unsure about the animation. |

This is my first pixel art ever. Feedback is appreciated I decreased the saturation of the orange and made the grey lighter

| Try reducing the orange's saturation and increasing the grey's lightness a bit- at its current state, the orange is not very good to use for antialiasing :) |

Lol after trying out some different ways of doing it I thought I am thinking way too complicated. What do you guys think about this really simple animation?  Feedback welcome.. you guys think this is too simple? Since I only used 2 colors I added some ... circles for balance. I am not very experienced with highly minimalistic styles such as this... |

If you will polish this animation and make it more contrast it will work. so far it looks like it is being watched through a green bottle. |

Everyone's entry is looking quite good I must say. lots of participations this time around, and that's a good thing! |

| first variant better |
Posted By: programgamer
Date Posted: 30 January 2014 at 12:11pm
the "probably final" version of this. Still a bit lighter than the original to make it stick out better, but darker than v2 to make the aa look unworse.

Um... That was just a sketch scribble to help me picture my piece, so I dunno why would pixel placement and clusters matter in this case :/ And I only finished today and submitted it.
Anyways, my current piece(linked to the submitted piece if you wish to comment): http://www.pixeljoint.com/pixelart/83719.htm"> 
Yeah, the anatomy is a bit odd in places and stuff, so it probably needs re-working. And of course, I have plenty of time before the poll :3 |

I still have to maybe do some cleanup, and then animate it with a slight bobbing. Edit: Here's the finished thing.
