Theoden, thank you so much for that and the best wishes as well... *quite* splendidly appreciated!!!  ^-^=b !!

And right now, since my mom just informed me from only a few hours ago that she already last night contacted my sister from the UK by phone/e-mail about that exact same issue that I am facing right now, the both of them are gonna really help me out by sending even more money directly into my account towards building a brand-new PC indeed.

Now, my personal ideal plan for the entire build would be an AMD Ryzen 7 2700x desktop one, with at least two (2) separate new hard drives to be built in together — one of course for running MS-Windows 10, and the other enitrely for Linux.  That way, I will truly be working on and testing a lot of new designs concurrently between operating systems, as well as MUCH more efficiently create and optimize my artworks to phenomenal-quality new levels without any trouble or hassle whatsoever... all absolutely WORRY-FREE, and indeed high-end, as you clearly said!!  !!

I want to be as confident as I can be without having to even lose any important files period, after all.  ;)

First off, Irenaart, I MUST thank you and the PixelJoint staff for wishing me quite a happy birthday indeed where I have *just now* turned 42 years old... my grandest pleasure indeed from the bottom of my heart, quite generously!!!  !!!

Also, in case any of you may not have already noticed, I am currently typing from my mom’s laptop that she is freely letting me use so far due to the fact that my current desktop computer of 7+ years had suddenly died fatally on me since just this past very week where I had also won the entire 2019 PJ palette-creation competiton (please see my latest messages that I had put up from just a few days ago or so right here for much clearer info on that).  Right now, I am in the hunt towards actually building a brand-new, top-of-the-line gaming computer that can very easily perform graphics and games and so many other “pixel/artwork creation”-based tasks a WHOLE TON faster and rather more efficiently to get me much more prepared for 2020 and beyond... all without breaking the bank, so to speak.    And while I have most definitely taken so many computer diagnostics courses at the same local union location a few years after I had successfully graduated from high school in 1996, ladies and gentlemen, I had never, ever even built a computer at all first-hand before — let alone in my entire life at all!  But, I am rather seriously studying the ins-and-outs about how to properly make one, as thoroughly as ever, which is quite a damn good head start indeed that can go a *really* long way in helping me to do exactly that.  So yeah, I am going for it with a custom AMD Ryzen-based gaming build, most particularly!!  ;)

Please, everybody, do wish me all the best as I prepare myself for this grueling new build. 

Night, I MUST truly thank you so much for your wonderful comment about my AAP-MajestyXVII palette... and I *do* look gloriously forward to your own phenomenally amazing use of my newest palette here indeed for this year’s newest and ever-upcoming ISOcollab project here on PixelJoint, just like I have thoroughly quite enjoyed using your absolutely most magnificent palette of Equpix15 that successfully won it all in last year’s PJ palette-creation competition right here, which was then entirely used for our “PrehISOria” project that you, I, and so many other pixel artists on PJ were all collectively involved in together.  !!

And if there is at least one *major* thing that I have thoroughly learned from your resplendently plain superb Equpix15 palette there, it is by me simply just making all the colors a lot more painstakingly balanced, accurately wider-ranged, and much more interestingly livelier in as precisely limited an overall color count as possible while seriously building a quality, MUCH rather entirely convincing all-around color spectrum within that very set limit indeed — especially in the color saturation without making it either too low or too high at all, too.  Well, with my overall making of my AAP-MajestyXVII palette right there, Night, I SURELY have delivered in spades, and as I quite handsomely said, I really and most genuinely look forward to you using it phenomenally indeed when the official theme for this ever-newest 2019 ISOcollab project on PJ is revealed... see you there soon for that and more!!!  !!!

And by the way, I have *quite* a bit of horrible news on my end this week, so do pardon me please for my double-post here.

Just TWO (2) days after the winners for this year’s entire PJ palette competition were finally announced — or in this case, Wednesday, May 22, 2019 — while I was using my current desktop computer, there was a short yet rather very serious power outage in the house alone, and my mom then had to turn all the electricity back on.  Well, usually after the power is back in full swing again, my computer automatically comes back on as well... normally.  This time, however, the computer just stayed off, cold as stone.  I had to find out what all of a sudden went wrong.  So I tried pushing the power button on several times to see if it turned on once again (even with all the plugs set into the proper outlets).  ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.    Which only means one utterly dreadful thing that is every pixel artist’s worst nightmare... my own computer is now officially dead.  Kaput.  Gone.  And it was the Acer Aspire AM3970-U5022, a fantastic 3.1Ghz machine that I first bought myself and started using since January/February 2012; great computer and was truly blazing fast for its time... all the way up until Microsoft shelled out all those blatant bullcrap Windows 10 updates with countless slowdowns, added graphical glitches, and so many unncessarily pointless minutes-long pauses/freezes that all took place for me since the release of Win 10 ver. 1803 and all those forced updates that made no damned sense whatsoever, which were all major critical factors of precisely why my computer was suffering all kinds of havoc towards its own untimely demise, even with a new power brick that I had once replaced the old original one with in very recent years!!  I am really gonna miss that computer; may it rest in great peace.  :*( !!

So right now, then, not only am I gonna build an ENTIRELY NEW desktop computer — and my mom is very seriously supporting me with the funds to help me do just that in honor of my upcoming birthday, which is already a tremendous help so far (  !! ) — but also, since she indeed has a laptop that she is currently not using very much at all thus far, she is actually letting me use it to hold me over until I have my *very* newest desktop computer set up, which is quite a little better significantly than just no computer at all as I have had no trouble so far at all in using that laptop that I am now currently typing from at the time of this very writing here, everybody.    This new computer-build of mine is a clear process that will take *at best* quite a few months for me to get done successfully if all goes well, but I am currently thinking of actually setting up a blazingly even faster, much higher quality AMD-Ryzen gaming rig under just a good several-hundred-dolar budget.  There are some several great videos from ExplainingComputers and ETA PRIME that inspired me properly on how to do just that, as they are fantastic study tools for building successfully such an amazing new computer even under this tight a budget indeed.

Just thought I would share all of that wonderful wealth of great info with you all, considering the dire situation that I am already facing that *just* started this very week, dearest ladies and gents.  ;)

From the rather bottom of my very heart, Gecimen, Theoden, Irenaart, I TRULY thank you all for such phenomenally amazing words about my grand-winning AAP-MajestyXVII palette indeed... quite splendidly appreciated and then some!!!  !!!

You know, ladies and gentlemen, in the overall making of my newest palette here that just won it all in this year’s PJ color palette competition this week, I ran it through so many rigorous tests and made quite several tweaks as well as a whole TON of improvements, all in making sure it is well-richly suited for making all 17 of the colors a lot more exciting and quite of an absolute pleasure to use in terms of both color balancing and the overall color saturation — even in the making of skin tones and many natural materials (such as dirt, blood, rock, wood, stone, sand, trees, mud, moss, grass, and water, for example), too.  And already, this is a tremendous improvement over my last year’s compo palette called AAP-RadiantXV where the saturation there was really lackluster, wasn’t it?  That was flatly why I done some MAJOR steps in completely improving the overall color saturation in my current AAP-MajestyXVII palette to a much seriously more balanced, easier-to-read manner in terms of all the colors themselves.  And here we are.  !!!

Now THAT is how my own AAP-MajestyXVII palette got made in the first place.  ;)

ABSOLUTELY correct you are on all fronts, Adarias; hugely agree. 

And 0xDB, Drazile, Mordfikosz, DimWiddy, SoloSalsero, you all did such a tremendously awesome job on your own respective palettes as well and for thoroughly taking the most quite wonderful time, quality, and effort into actually making them all shine brilliantly as well... and an equally as excellent work as well to the rest of you that entered, also.  I sure have not forgotten about that at all, either, as your palettes are just as fun and worthwhile to check out, too!!! 

Thank you ever so very much on that entire quite outstanding comment, JerryPie, and you are absolutely 100% right on everything you have just said about my newest AAP-MajestyXVII palette winning this entire competition here on PJ indeed, too, as I would definitely, definitely love to see what truly amazing stuff you can pull off using my palette here for this upcoming new 2019 ISOcollab collab project... in actual fact, I would LOVE to see the rather creative stuff that so very many of our pixel artists can really do when my own AAP-MajestyXVII palette indeed is put to such absolutely brilliant damn use in so many, many, many inspiringly good ways in this one, just like you and I and so many of us successfully did when the previous completed ISOcollab project that was done in record time was titled “PrehISOria”, and that grand-winning entry from last year’s PJ palette competition was Night’s rather phenomenal Equpix15 palette, because that was the one that was fully utilized in the entire making of our own prehistoric world right there from start to finish — fathomless and wildly viscous quicksand-like tar pits, ancient and magnificently towering monuments, splendidly beautiful grand palaces, ravenous blood-thirsty dinosaurs, stunningly amazing gods and goddesses, mysterously strange space aliens, and just everything you could really, really ask for!!!  !!

Having said all of that now, you are gonna really have a helluva great time using my AAP-MajestyXVII palette when the official theme for this rather newest PixelJoint ISOcollab project finally reveals itself very shortly, so do keep a real close watch on that, my most awesome man!!!  !!!

Wow.  JUST FLAT-OUT plain wow.  I am so utterly at a rather loss for words... but in a most spectacularly good way quite immensely indeed, especially since my very newest 2019 AAP-MajestyXVII palette just now turned out to be the official grand winner of this entire 17-color palette competition here on PixelJoint right after the final results were thoroughly tabulated together!!!  !!!

And since this came right at the time where I am JUST about to turn 42 on my very next birthday this upcoming next Tuesday, May 28, 2019, and that this year’s forthcoming newest ISOcollab project is gonna be built entirely using my main winning newest palette there, my, this is far, far, far better a birthday present than I’d’ve ever, EVER hoped for in literally all of my lifetime, let alone decades!!  THANK YOU ALL SO SPLENDIDLY VERY MUCH from the bottom of my rather heart, Gecimen and the whole entire PixelJoint staff, as I am quite truly on top of the world definitely right now for the very first time in literally so many, *many* years since my ancient early DeviantArt days from 2006-2014!!!  !!

And mordfikosz, I gotta thank you also for such an absolutely superb comment about my own AAP-MajestyXVII palette... truly well-appreciated from you, as well!!!  ;)

First of all, Gecimen, I truly gotta thank you indeed for *quite* the outstanding comment about this pixel-based composition piece, where I first had to make some sort of collage of all my three (3) tiles that I had manage to complete... had to share that with you, my great man!!!  ;)  And secondly, my deepest, deepest congratulations to you personally for successfully coming up with a most stupendously brilliant theme called PrehISOria as the main surefire topic for that entire 2018-2019 PJ ISOcollab project of ours in the first place, which truly got me going hook, line, and sinker into actually making my pixel-art talents MUCH splendidly more creative and active the way I am right now!!  And third, considering that our own PrehiSOria project has *really* made big-time history on PixelJoint as officially the fastest-ever completed ISOcollab of all the very years that this entire pixel-art community ever existed so far since this entire site was first introduced to the internet, that is flatly rather something that you and I will truly, truly, truly cherish forever, with all 98 of the tiles completed in such fullest absolute quality by such phenomenal pixel artists as you, Irenaart, s.g.m., Night, vierbit, Reo, jeremy, Esven, notnullnotvoid, Fusionnist, myself, and countless others that had all participated in the project — all in approximately just 214 days indeed from Thursday, September 13, 2018 to Monday, April 15, 2019!!!  Take a bow, every one of you that took a grandly important part in this project indeed; you all have really earned your stripes for sure and then some!!!  !!

Now, I myself am gonna gloriously celebrate by thoroughly watching a superbly great 2013 animated film classic entitled The Croods, which splendidly touches in many ways on the main prehistoric theme of this overall 2018-2019 PJ ISOcollab project that you and all of us have resplendently quite created to its fullest completion in record time.  CHEERS QUITE ESPECIALLY TO YOU, Gecimen, and my rather deepest congratulations to you once again!!!  !!!

Quite an EXCELLENT hello to you, vierbit, and what a splendidly wonderful pleasure to meet you as I am so deeply excited to finally see this phenomenally plain brilliant piece of pixel-art into our gallery here on PixelJoint!!!  ;)

Now, about this piece of yours entitled “Shmup Ships Collection”, it is just resplendently masterful from start to finish, as literally all of the main ships that were featured in this one (with especially my all-time favorites being the Solvalou from Xevious, the Silver Hawk from Darius, the R-9A Arrowhead from R-Type, and even the Vic Viper from Gradius as well, also!!) are all rather a spectacular job indeed from you in creating them all, with beautifully laid pixels and all the details in each of all the ships here that made them all so outstandingly convincing as to why we all SERIOUSLY LOVE video games in the first place... and as a huge, huge shmup fan from the bottom of my rather heart, you have my deepest respect for creating such a spectacularly utter-brilliant piece that quite unquestionably speaks enormous volumes in such a richly positive way to me especially and the entire Shmups community, as well as to all of us as pixel-artists and die-hard gamers alike, too!!!  !!

Having just said all that, vierbit, this is quite flatly one of the very, VERY best pixel artworks of 2018, and I give you personally my most deepest congratulations for successfully crafting this absolute highest-tier piece of work that shall easily be glorified and remembered for the many, many years to come; YOU TRULY HAVE EARNED IT and then some!!!  !!!

You are quite truly welcome, Night, and I thought your accompanying pixel piece on here entitled “Flute Player” was *just* absolutely plain wonderful, especially, as it clearly showed a rather phenomenal top-tier use of your current and rather successful Equpix15 palette indeed!!  A splendid congratulations to you once again, and such a rather pleasure to meet you on PJ, definitely!!!  

First off, I want to seriously thank all the amazing people and staff at PixelJoint here for coming up with this amazing palette competition where we had to *really* get creative with the limited maximum amount of colors that were given, in this case being indeed 15 colors max.    I mean, that very set of restrictions clearly allowed for such splendid creativity to flourish most richly indeed where even I as well had to deeply and most thoroughly think about which unique colors I had to place into my newest 15-color palette myself.  And in this rather case, with the top four (4) palettes being rather, rather too close to call indeed, the decision as to who the big winner was could’ve easily went either way... but in the end, I am VERY happy overall that Night won it all with his masterfully brilliant Equpix15 palette, and I truly extend my congratulations to him from the very bottom of my heart.  He deserved it!!!  !!

All in all then, one of the most completely exciting competitions that I have ever had the sheer pleasure of participating on PJ, as it flatly just inspires me through-and-through to create much better palettes and pixel artworks from now on.  And speaking of which, I even have at least one more brand-new palette to get done and release to you before this year of 2018 is over, so do stay tuned for that.  I just want to better myself in my own pixel-art creativity that I am so ecstatically happy to share with you guys and gals here!!!  ;)

My further congratulations also go to Drazile and Gyhoket for successfully placing 2nd and 3rd in this very competition, respectively.  Really great job by the both of you as well!!! 

A quite SPLENDID hello to you once again, Fleja, and it is just so phenomenal to finally see you back on PJ with an absolutely first-rate newest animated pixelart piece of yours right here called “Dissonant” — and such a rather damn brilliant title, too!!!  ;)

From the spectacular colors from blues to purples and finally to a creepingly bright orange/yellow in a dark-to-light fashion with just an overall right amount of color saturation after another, to all the jaw-droppingly gorgeous many details (including the ever-many rising embers, the amazingly wonderful lighting, the flowing cape, the scaldingly-hot chains, and most rather especially the very, very many countless skulls coming out of fire and brimstone as part of the main face in the center of this picture), I flatly believe this piece shall well-easily deserve to be thorougly spotlighted not only in the Top 10 for the month of September 2018 and riding rather, rather high in there, but also in the PJ Hall of Fame as well... because to me, this is MOST DEFINITELY one of the very best pixel artworks of 2018.  Period.    Congratulations on such a quite hauntingly resplendent master-class piece of work and the superbly well-spent time that it took you just to create this one in Aseprite as truly your very first time using that pixelart-creation program!!!  !!

And again, so great to have you back with us indeed on Pixeljoint, too!!  Cheers!!! 

Ohh, so that makes perfect sense now, eishiya.  I *quite* have to remember that right away for all of my future works just in order to avoid any more difficulties regarding the upload of my newest pixel-based art creations indeed, and I will most definitely be learning it from now on indeed.

Thank you so much for your excellent answer, and great to meet you on PJ, as well.  ;)

Hello and quite an excellent, excellent Thursday to you today.  ;)

When I just recently updated the preview image for my newest pixel-artwork entitled “A Very Special Life Item from Goddess Imulo...” (the full artwork of this is found right here on PJ if you want to check it out!), it clearly did not show up on the main front-page on PixelJoint where the other preview images are (as shown in this screenshot here), though the updated main preview image of mine showed up fine on all the other pages on PJ.  :(  It was honestly an accidental error on my part, and I truly apologize for that; I have been quite absent from PixelJoint for the past few straight months now, and I am still learning the ropes about this site.  At the same time, I do want to improve the overall quality of my own pixelart here, as well.

Now having said all of that, I would like to ask this question to you: when I first submit a brand-new pixelart piece to PJ, should I best prepare a quality, fully-prepared preview image for upload (in addition to the main image) and get it right the first time instead of later changing the preview picture for updating?  I just want to be sure on that because I want to make sure all my latest preview images work properly to go with my new pixel-artworks, too.  Thank you all so much for your wonderful time and patience, and you have yourselves a great upcoming weekend!!! 

Ahhhh!!  So *that* makes sense; I can quite see your point and Dawnbringer’s now to a much, much clearer extent here.  And so, pyrometal, I thank the both of you truly on some excellent, serious pointers on how this piece and all future pixel ones of mine need to be indeed — like true, genuine, fully integrated works of real pixel-art rather instead of just color details and stats alone. 

As for this very piece about my current AAP-Micro12 palette, I will definitely be working today on updating it with some precise and quality pixel-art examples for much better clarification, so to speak, just as you two have said to me yesterday.  I will let you know in the description as soon as it is finished immediately, ok?

Thank you both so much again, Dawnbringer and pyrometal, and great to meet you two, by the way. ;)

I did not know that palettes and diagrams alone are not allowed in the gallery itself; you are absolutely right, DawnBringer.  Thank you so much for pointing that out to me, as I will be sure to add much more proper pixel-art imagery here just as you mentioned.  My apologies, as I am only learning the ropes of PixelJoint itself.  ;)

For instance, to be sure, is it alright if I go back and add some real pixel-art examples/mockups to show the real significance of how my new palette works, and then re-submit it again?  Or, should I just talk about my new palette in the PJ forums and add some pixel-art examples there?  Thank you so much in advance, as I want to be sure to follow the rules more closely here.

No problem, and you are *quite* definitely welcome, PixelCod!! 

I really quite like this one a lot, PixelCod, and if that is any indication of what wonderful-quality pixel artworks that all of us can truly create using my own all-newest AAP-Splendor128 palette (now shown directly on PJ right here for all of you, by the way!)... I’d be quite a VERY happy man and then some!! 

I found that the details really pop in this pixel-art of yours at 3x resolution as I zoomed in close, and you did quite a good job in capturing them all, and in making the colors from my palette a LOT easier to read visually in order to fully convey the viewer in what is really going on based on what you were going for in this picture, and that was very important indeed.  As such, pretty damn impressed with this one!!! 

Here is to many brilliant new pure pixel-art creativity using that rather newest 128-color palette of mine indeed, everybody!!  And such a real pleasure to meet you, PixelCod, by the way!!!  ;)

Why thank you very much for the awesome compliment on my AAP-Splendor128, JerryPie; I *really* appreciate it from the heart indeed.  ;*)

This palette first started out originally as a 192-color one at one point during development, but then I had to truly balance and thoroughly optimize all the many colors, saturation, hues, and tones all rather painstakingly while cutting it all down it to just a strict 128-color limit on this overall palette right here indeed.  This set of colors was what I finally came up with in the end:

...and if you look closely at the full picture of my AAP-Splendor128 palette currently on PJ right here, my man, you can see the well-over 20 possible color combinations that you can achieve while creating brand new pixel-art that uses this very palette indeed, as well as huge support for so many natural materials you can only dream of yourself!!  That is the beauty of creating palettes in general, you know that now? 

My great personal inspirations for that are DawnBringer and his phenomenal DB8, DB16, and DB32 palettes; as well as Endesga’s equally as top-tier EDG16, EDG32, EDG36X palettes, and now his very newest EDG64 one which just came out less than three (3) weeks ago as I am writing this very post, also.  All those very palettes collectively show us what OUTSTANDINGLY brilliant color variety and gorgeously rich versatility that one can achieve while keeping the overall amount of colors as very limited yet splendidly well-balanced as possible.  And on that front, JerryPie, I personally thank them both from the bottom of my absolute heart for all their amazingly rather first-rate palettes that heavily inspired me to create my very own AAP-64, AAP-16, SimpleJPC-16, and now AAP-Splendor128 ones all over the consecutive course of just less than an entire year combined — quality and everything!!!  !!

Quite prolific in that short span of time since 2017, aren’t I now?

Hello to you, JerryPie, and what an ABSOLUTE pleasure to meet you here on PJ.  ;)

On this new picture of “Original 151 Pokemon 8x8”, the way you have successfully managed to capture and squeeze each and every last character into an entire 8x8 grid is just nothing short of top-notch brilliance divine for this kind of pixel-art... and the details of it all are just compellingly plain right on the money when it comes all of that!!  To me, this is *directly* one of your very best works of 2018 so far; congratulations!!!  !!

“Gotta catch ‘em all”, indeed; didn’t even take a pokéball to do exactly that, you know?  (^-^)v !!!

In honor of my own birthday coming up on May, 28, 2018 where I will turn 41 years of age that I will share with all of you on PixelJoint, I have just finished a brand-new color palette called the AAP-Splendor128, which is the very first indie-created 128-color palette that has ever been released to the entire public, as far as I can remember from memory.  ;)

Furthermore, if you all get a chance to see the main pixel-art picture on PJ about my newest palette, ladies and gents, some of the screens featured in that picture has some rather fun nods to real, classic arcade games... including from the classic Stern 1980 arcade game Berzerk.  And speaking about Berzerk, it was WILDLY enormous damn fun on the Atari 2600 when I first played that brilliant conversion to that arcade classic indeed, as it sucked me in like thick, soft, boundless miry quicksand in that I ended up rather glued to the screen straight for hours upon hours on end as a young boy growing up in the 1980s (especially on plenty of Friday and Saturday nights there, too!!!) while I was blasting endless waves of robot hordes and escaping Evil Otto while moving through corridor after corridor after maze-like corridor, all while racking up an enormous high score in the entire process of it all... wowwwwee, talk about one MASSIVE time-sink indeed, I must say; still a quite splendidly plain amazing, fondly-remembered game today for this reason, let’s get that right in an outstandingly good way especially!!! 

Speaking of which, everybody, what were your surefire favorite classic arcade games from the ‘80s that were huge time-sinks for you the *exact* same way as I had just described — home computer/console conversion or original arcade version?

Always such a sheer pleasure to speak to you again, Hapiel, and I thank you so much indeed for the wonderful comment on my newest 16-color palette of SimpleJPC-16.  MUCH appreciated!!! 

You know something, I have been quite busy this entire month of March 2018 working on a couple of brand-new palettes as well as fine-tuning and optimizing them to their absolute fullest.  First, was the newly-released SimpleJPC-16 palette, the one I am showing you directly on this page.  The second one, is gonna most definitely be my up-and-coming new 128-COLOR palette that I am in the final stages on before this gets released both on Twitter and PixelJoint... stay tuned and get excited, because it’ll be quite seriously be worth the wait when it finally arrives soon!! 

See, here’s the thing: earlier back on that very late-evening of October 26, 2017 on Twitter, I had already first released my rather first 16-color palette called AAP-16 right here that was originally aimed at beginners who wanted to get their feet wet in the world of pixel-art creation to get them started towards taking their own creativity to the next level... but there were rather a few serious missteps with it that I surely did not even know about at the time.  First off, the main key problem was in the saturation being extremely high there to the point of major eye-searing colors when that palette there was first introduced; and two, even then, some of the colors did not blend together very well as a direct result, especially in areas with carefully-placed small tinges of saturation, too.

Well with my new SimpleJPC-16 as now my 2nd 16-color pixelart palette, though, I had successfully manage to indeed tone down the color saturation so as rather to balance it out, just in order to make all the colors A WHOLE LOT more readable and easier on the eyes.  And if you have read my description up top to find out how I did it, Hapiel, I am pretty quite sure you get the idea on what I am talking about here.  ;)  So yeah, definitely an improvement indeed, as we at PJ would LOVE to see even more top-quality palettes get the proper exposure that they surely deserve in the first place, you know what I mean?  DawnBringer’s original palettes on PJ that are found here, here, and here did a rather phenomenal job at clearly addressing and conveying this exact point across to the inner pixel-artist especially, and so, I have *seriously* taken that into such vitally plain important consideration when it comes to me designing my own original palettes and how I have actually learned to improved on it since then.

And finally, when I get a chance to create some more pixel-art/mock-ups using this new 16-color palette of SimpleJPC-16, I WILL do that very gladly indeed; no question!!!  (^-^)v !!

Thorgi, I most certainly thank you for such an excellent comment on my newest SimpleJPC-16 palette, and with only 16 colors here, I just had to deliver the goods with all the inside info (screenshot examples, color fades, color blendings, a color map, and more!!) to help you and so many other pixel-artists alike make the best use of this one, just like I did with my AAP-64 palette here on PixelJoint. 

And so awesome to meet you this week, really!!!  ;)

First of all on “Dracula-3000”, andylittle, I am quite rather definitely impressed with the way you have created, crafted, and executed this pixel-based picture in many convincing ways — especially in the facial features of that ever-dreaded vampiric male giant that turns out *is* the real horror behind all the gruesomeness that might have went on inside the space station, too!!  Most importantly, SUCH an amazing job you did in just 14 richly brilliant colors that are also remarkably well-picked, and the execution is just phenomenal on top of all of that!!!

A huge YES from me; seriously a most outstanding work indeed!!!
