who's your main?

mmm nice :)

I dig your style. 

You could just have done it with 2 colors and it would look better. The AA contributes nothing tbh.

Pretty good though also pretty lazy-looking. Eh the backdrops that are single colors seem like they could have been done a few minutes each. I know because I've done that myself. You get good effect for little effort so I don't hate this technique. Just maybe not the thing to show off I guess. 

A few advices:

You have 4 backdrops and I think you could merge the first 2. There's a sorta offset here, the turrets are kinda the same size on all layers, ruining the depth. 

The colors only differ in brightness while the hue and satuartion seems the same. This makes it more flat-looking I think. 

Having single color layers is good enough for backgrounds, espacially wokring good with fog or forest areas. Howevver you make yours the focal point of the picture.

You have some nice clouds. I think, personally, it would look pretty cool if you put some clouds in front of the final fortress layer, makes it more busy and life-like and gives it a bit more scale.

Very nice useage of outlines, great style! 

This is pretty good! Though I think it'd look much better without the black lines.

It looks nothing like Ico. Remember, Ico took place in a uniqe location. Going with the generic woodsland environment is the least interesting thing a game developer can do at this point tbh. Also, Ico wasn't about the combat, so making an ico-inspired game as an rpg feels as counterintiutive as it gets. 

As for the piece itself, the trees are quite nice but what's up with the proportions? You need more black in there, make some grass patterns or something because it hurtful to have that much white. Also, one of the cool things about Ico's design was its verticality and scope. Removing a dimension and having a topdown perspective is challanging to achivie the same effect. 

Amazing!

:D

very good! its my favorite!

reminds me of terrance and phillip from south park 

yes it looks like you took a picture of the internet and scaled it down and lowered the color amount. Then added the dice and landscape yourself. I'm pretty sure that's agianst the rules. 

Very nice! It looks like a 3d animation almost!

Thanks! I'm not so sure about this though, Someone probobaly say I got a few pixels wrong hehe. But it was tricky getting it all into 32x32 canvas. :D

his face is so annoying. 

 do you even know what report to admin is for, not complaining its for violating the rules. the reason i think your stuff is stupid is you have the pixel skills to be rewarded for this simple tile stuff but you dont try nothing else. you wanna act like a real gift to the world taking the attention of all challenges and winning them. its bad sportsmanship imo. 

best submission by far. its a shame its not going to win.

your stuff is mostly basic tile-work that anyone with good pixelation skill can match. yet you are like the most praised active pj user and win every contest with stupid submissions like this. i dont like you.

It's simple and old-school but I think you made the best fog effect. Voted.

animation is weird in places and pixel-art wise it's kinda cheap if you don't mind my saying, you definitely could have spent another hour or 2 with this. iregardless it's a funny and clever piece so it got my vote.

Some of these challenges are like just meant to discourage people from trying. 

best entry!

It's a highway in the video and it's night, but I guess this works too because readability. Shouldn't the items like be guitar and singing? The battle is to perform the greatest song in the world. 

if people are so hard to draw make slipknot, residents, mr.bungle, ghost b.c, clinic, funkadelic, parliament, laibach, dimmu borgir, sunn 0))) or some band wearing masks and/or customes. Your welcome :)

@TrojanMonkey

exactly. what are the restrictions on the theme here. I looked it up. Can it depict any of the 4 or just the first 2? 

If it's half-spider why dosn't it have 8 legs? Because it's only half a spider! ahahaha
