Yeah thats great advice, im kinda new to PJ but ive always been a lurker, since a fan of pixel art. In this case, the reason that i dont post in the WIP is that due to work i dont have much time to iterate on my art, and since im doing them for Octobit, they are 1 hour work per day only :) But maybe in the future when i work on bigger more elaborate works, ill use the WIP forum for sure.

Thanks eishiya, youve restored my willingness to post my other works :)

PS: Your work is amazing btw.

You are completely right, Ive sat and carefully read the rules now, Ive updated the piece to fit the rules better without the background. (Although the rules kinda made me realize that PJ is probably more for pixel art experts than a beginner like me, but I'll leave the art piece up unless they reject it :)) Thanks eishiya, I appreciate your help!

Thanks for the advice, yeah, usually i pick the backgrounds in a hurry, but you are totally right, i should choose softer colors or upload the versions without solid color backgrounds :)
