you frickin rock! this is ace, also nice tricks used to reduce the amount of sprite frames ie the gliding, which actually has a unique quality over animated running/rushing

really impressive n_n 5/5
 

whoa nice especially for the time taken, the perspective and shading is consistent, its surprising how hard it is to portray consistent proportions on trees, foliage is effective while not too complex, besides the minor contrast issues no real criticisms. Would fit in a platform game background well me thinks. nicely done 

heh thanks JediDude, and pff yeah a 3"x 2" painting lol ^ ^ would anyone buy prints that small? (oww an uncracked market maybe xD ) and yeah rather happy with the palette but could use some tightening in my soon to be posted revision/s

@The B.O.B.:  yeah i guess 11:56:28 PM is cutting it too close >.< 

@skamocore: lol yeah i accidentally put the color count from the other piece because i was rushed to get it on time i actually fixed it before i saw your comment ^ ^;

 thanks guys i shall improve it seeming as it was too late ^ ^ shall update it later, probably after i get over this cold lol

oh just noticed i left some experimental dithering patterns in the sky o.O oops well seeming as its there how does it look?

 :) I was doubting whether it was good enough to actually submit, by your comments seems i was mistaken, thanks guys much appreciated, glad to be participating in the challenge, even if i don't really have a chance ^ ^' saw some really nice entries just earlier

@The B.O.B.: yeah hard to keep track of time when my timezone is +15 hours PST D:
