Yeah, theres a recent news post you can check out that tells you just exactly what it is we will and will not accept.  I'd suggest just doing those parts "by hand" and resubmitting, as I said, it's good art all the same, just doesn't comply with the rules.

Yeah, this one was one my much earlier pieces, I was using tools back then, but I'm starting to come around on just straight pixel shades.

I wasn't sure if those types were aloud here, and I'll take it off and stick to some of my newer works if need be.

Thanks for the input amigo. :)

Ya, what's with the brush tool on the buns?    Ooh.. that sounded dirty. 

Looks like you've got some tool-usage going on, way too many colors.  Were the it pure-pixelled it'd make a nice piece.
