haha, so so good! love it!

Awesome!

i didn't use any automatic tool or brush for the dirt. just the pen tool, the filling tool and the rubber. i did in fact use a lot of different colors to create a natural/organic look. there sure are some parts that look sort of like jpg-artefacts, but the pixels just turned out like that when i used the rubber tool and i liked the look of it.

but i do often use the transparency setting of the tools, to get different shades of the same color. in this one i made the gradients at the top/bottom out of seperate layers of white/black with different transparency settings. also the shadow of the font uses transparency. is that not allowed as well?

what do i do to get this one approved? should i just use less colors? or is it the natural/organic look in general that looks iffy and the grime needs to be more destinct, more pixelated?

First of all, thanks everybody for your input!

I just finished the revised version and uploaded it. Is it okay to use the same name, or should i point out that it is a "revised version" or "version 2" somewhere?

The character is all original now. Hope it turned out "dramatic" enough...

Great setting and awesome job on the dithering! Love it.

Oh, ok! Now i got it. Sorry! So i fear this is kind of a "frankensprite". And my credit to "Flashback" wasn't clear enough obviously. So i should just delete this, right?

It is! Glad you like it. :)

I'm sorry, i just registered so i'm new to this. Where do i find the rules? I didn't find anything in the FAQ or Terms of Use. Am i not allowed to use edited material?

The character is an edit. Changed the leg and the colors.
