Uh oh!

Behold the beauty in pixel art gone bad. I made it a point to ignore some of the finer points of pixel art (AAing, dithering, avoiding black outlines, paying close attention to lines, etc...) to see what sort of beauty I could come up with.

Of course...

That might not fall under the context of the rules. So, I also made it a point to display the beauty that is sewer life. Specifically, when a rat gets ambushed by a group of thugs...err...slugs.

Of course...

If you thought the first option was clever but not viable and deemed the second option kosher it's too late to do anything now. The wit already sunk in and has forever skewed your view on the piece.

Of course...

If you appreciated the piece up until the last statement and decided it was not worthy of your vote because of it's overall malign nature, you just might change your mind due to the sheer cunning of me knowing that before you did. Which isn't in and of its self a vote for the beauty of sewer life or haphazard pixel art but, rather one for the beauty of a ridiculous, but entertaining, description.

Of course...

None of that really matters now does it? It's probably best you just forget about the piece all together.

Now now, if you would AA it, add some dither for textures and replace the black outlines by something more smooth and fix  the jaggies...

Since when was "avoiding black lines" a finer point of pixel art :S

I could probably vote on this because of the funny description alone. Very interesting piece and nice to see a different style from you. I love how you used the colors. 6/6
