 Awesome 

I love your style 

Nice edit.

Dawwwww it's so cute :3

Nice use of 12 colors :)

This totally has my vote. I love it.

very nice! i liked it a lot!

I'm a little hesitant to get rid of the moon entirely, because it implies that there is in fact some sort of light source. I was kind of trying to cover my ass when I ended up making a background. Still, I like the background too much to get rid of it in its entirety...

Edit: I went ahead and changed some stuff. Look any better? I tried to make the moon smaller and put a halo around it, though it had to be green due to the palette restrictions.

Kaiseto, I thought so after looking at the preview which doesn't have a background.

Personal opinion is that the moon is distracting and not readable. It can also be seen as a sort of orb floating near the creature.

Again, very nice picture nonetheless, I wish I could put out someting half as good as that.

Quite Impressive²!

@ Manupix

@ Manjaman

I tried that (with the moon). It's impossible with my current color palette. It would be an ugly green or offcolor red.

@ oCo

Yep, that's a result of the fact that this was supposed to be a sprite, not a picture with a background. By the time I added on the BG, the lighting was already in place. I decided not to change it (too much, it got changed a little bit) because I feel it's more to the benefit of the character, at the cost of some realism.

Wow that's really cool!

Very nice character design, and sticking to 12 colours with all this ... good job!

Only thing I don't understand is the lightning: High contrast between the creature and the rest of the picture makes little sense to me except only hilighting the creature itself against the background. And the quarter circle (sun/moon ?) on the top left corner is a mistery to me.

This is really impressive, damn it 12 colors !

Your Bg would be more understandable if it was lighter though.

The moon (if it's a moon) is not fitting well into the sky, you should draw a halo to make it more readable.

The feet look unfinished compared to the heads. Really cool otherwise.

Nice dragon,great work Kaiseto =3

good one there! very good piece! of all that i have seen this is in first place!

i mean for this competition!
