Weerdmeester Masterclass Challenge Streak

Episode 22

Create a scene where the world is flipped on its side, but living (or dead [or undead {...}]) creatures aren't.

This challenge combines Weerdmesteer's innovative ideas, with our traditional tiny worlds challenges (so prepare your 8 pixel tall sprite chops), and with our traditional weird, random, and totally unusable palette challenges (I guess you are lucky this time, becasue this one actually looks pretty easy).

You have to use this palette:

Ghost White #F8F8FF
Bone #E3DAC9
Pumpkin #FF7518
Zombie Green #698362
Blood Red #660000
Vampire Violet #3F2A68

And if you haven't been around PJ long enough, to know what this challenge means, you can ask your senior PJ friends.



Canvas Size - Max 66x66.
Colors - Max 6 (use the palette).
Transparency - Forbidden.
Animation - Forbidden.
 



The challenge thread will have all the challenge updates. The thread is also a great place to post your WIPs.
