Dark blue/violet used as the global color (ptoing's palette). 

This is the first piece I drew in wide pixels from the very beginning, so hopefully it looks a bit better than my last two (thanks, Erico!). There were a lot of 'questionable' 4x8 regions in terms of sticking to the 4-color rule, so a few may have slipped by :L

The second version is the first one without black, which allows for smoother aa in some areas. I'm not quite sure which one I prefer.

Yeah I was checking ptoings pictures and he did the double pixel thing. I hope to see some more stuff.

@Damian: Thank you.

@Mr. F: I noticed the 1-px lines looked weid too, and I think the best way to deal with them would be to use darker AA colors to make them seem thicker. I'm far too lazy to do that now, though I'll bear it in mind if I start another c64 thing. Thanks!

Ugh, you are making me want to start doing C64 stuff and I'm trying to wokr on other things :c! Inspiring stuff muffin!

There are some places where you harnassed the weird aspect ratio of the pixel and drew 1px thick lines. I feel like those conflict with the rest of your lines because they are usually verticle, where they have to be 2px's thick so it looks a little odd. Only thing I can think of is to make the horizontal lines 2px's thick on the outline as well.

I prefer the top one :) Very well done.

The outlines are intentional, but I do need to work on making them smoother; they are very noticeable at the moment. Glad you like it, thanks!

I like it! It's cute! However if I may add a tidbit of advice, I'd say watch your outlines. The hard black outlines around the border of the snail and his shell sort of makes it difficult for the piece to flow togther. Of course if you were aiming for an art style that includes said outlines, just ignore me!
