Thank you and good luck! 

It kind of feels like it's meant for higher resolutions? And it doesn't totally evoke a spooky atmosphere to me.
But, at the same time, I've seen a lot of people take pretty well to it with their entries so far!
Good luck to you, too, friend. May we both win sick cool prizes or die trying.

No pressure! I know what you mean about the palette. I spent quite a while feeling more like I was fighting it than working with it. It's one I wanted to use at some point, but I didn't image using it for this...

Doggone it.
The new palette is way outside my comfortable range, so I was absolutely going to give up.
But you had to come out here and encourage me?
Now I at least have to try. Hopefully something decent comes out of it.

Thanks.
 

I really like the colour choices here. They're a little Jan Pieńkowski even though your style is very different. Looking forward to seeing how this translates into the palette for part two!
