HEY howdy hey! I thought i'd join this competition! While close to finishing though, i made a big mistake.

I completely forgot about the tranparancy part for the sprite. I tried giving it an outline. But i feel it makes the dark blue blends too much and kinda creates some sharp lookin edges. Is that just me?

I also tried getting rid of the outline, but it still looked kinda funky. I thought it'd be cool to get some possible tips!
(ps the pallette i used is the Default windows95 Paint pallette)

I believe that transparency is needed only to separate sprite from the portrait, so you can use background for the sprite

Hi guys! Here is my piece:



I had some doubts about my work's format after I seeing this comment:



In challenge post says "either orientation", so I'm not sure now is my submission OK or not? I couldn't ask in the challenge post, because my level is below 2:



And I wasn’t answered in the PJ's official tweeter either. Maybe someone here will tell me? Please?
