Looks cute! c:

 Thanks!

I suppose I'm just too used to outlining everything always since I always felt it reads better against a darker background. That is apparently not the case with pieces this small. ^^;

 I'm not suprised at all that those three pieces took the top spots.
Congratulations to the winners! C:

 The hands do indeed look a little bit odd, but I love the pose and the colours. Great work! c:

 The piece is alright, but it needs some stronger shadows and colours, to be honest. Also, the colours seem to clash a little bit with each other in the piece.. ^^;

 The effect of the animation is absolutely great. o.o

 The animation, to me, is phenomenal but it does make me wonder what she's doing.. o.O

That being said: a great piece with a really good choice of colour and a very succesful animation practice! 

 I love the colours in this piece! 

 The colours really are lovely, great work! :D

 I remember seeing this as a WIP-thread in the forums and I must say I really like how it turned out.

Great work on the pose and the positioning of the fingers and well done with the dithering and textures!  

 The torso looks really good to me (great choice of colours!), but the feet / maps feel a bit unfinished. The colour is a bit too flat, in my humble opinion. 

 I like the piece, but it has a couple of small flaws in my opinion.

For instance: the front of the bunny needs a more rounded pixel-shape, instead of the lines coming to a point like they do now. This can be done by altering the slope of the lines and the ammount of pixels per decrease. c:

As for the speechbubble: it seems a little too cramped at the moment. Give the first and last letter some more distance from the edges of the speech-bubble, it'll look less squished that way. also: try to avoid decreasing lines of 1 pixel each, it tends to give a very sharp, diagonal edge (as is also present at the front of thebunny).

All in all, a cute piece. But it needs some tweaking. :)

 I think it's mostly because the legs are barely visible on the dark background here, which makes it seem as if the chicken just jerks forward and back. 

That being said: it looks fine on a white background since you can see the legs and read the animation better. c:

 Nice work on the bird! The textures look great. :D

 The pose looks great and the colours used give it a nice, magical feeling. Well done! :D

 The piece looks okay, but the lettering really is too hard to read for me. o.O

 It's cute and the animation really breathes life into the pixel. Well done! 

 It's really cute and recognizable, but the animation looks a bit jumpy to me. o.O

 Neofotistou: removing the white line it is then, here's hoping they'll read better. c:

You also recognized them all correctly, but the owl doesn't really have a neck that I pixeled in, to be honest..^^;

Duchnois: thanks! :D

 The composition and character design are both amazing. Great work and congratulations on placing second! :]

 The detailing on the machinery-piece looks wicked! 

Great work. c:

 I feel like the stache might use some detailing of a couple of strands, but other than that I think you did a great job rendering the Pokémon with such a different / odd palette. Well done! c:

 I have to agree with LowlySquid: I think the piece could look better with a transparent background.

That being said: you did a great job rendering Freeza! c:

 The composition and use of colour is great here. I like how you tell a small story with just this single image (or at least, to me it tells a story). c:

 It looks cute, but there are some pixels in the back that shouldn't be there. The animation also seems to be just a little bit too fast. ^^;
