Let's imagine a paralel world where vegetation has skeletons.

This week's task is to draw a skeleton (or some form of a cross-section where bones are visible) of a plant or fungus. There are no boundaries in style. It can be a sprite, a scene or a "portrait". It can be very cartoonish or hiperrealistic, and it can be anthropomorphic or zoomorphic, but it needs to have at least a skull and a spine. Limbs are diserable, but not necessary if you will go for something like a snake liana for example. For your bones you can take inspiration from animals existing in real world or fiction, or invent your own, but the owner of the skeleton needs to at least somehow resemble something from our Plantae or Fungi Kingdoms (this limitation is only to exclude hacking the challenge like drawing a human and saying "in my fictional world this is a plant"). Go for something like a flower with arms and legs, a mushroom with strange shaped skull, a tree with large chest, and have fun.

Don't forget to comment on the pieces you like!

This week we want you to depict a scene or landscape where clouds take up 3/4 (75%) of the canvas. 

This means (for example) if your canvas is 100x100, 100x75 must be dedicated to clouds. It can be a scene depicting a landscape, a side scrolling game, a character shot etc. Go wild, the rest is up to you PJers!

Canvas: Max 300px width. Height unlimited.
Colours: Max 18
Transparency: No.
Animation: No.
 

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

We as pixel artists have a very small rate of influence on world economics, but we can interpret our surrounding reality and express it in pixel art.

Let's imagine a game protagonist suffering the effects of inflation, and let's help them by making coin powerups, or money bills, or - if you find yourself very inspired and creative - any other physical means of payment, historical or fictional.

It need to be recognisable as a game powerup/collectible item; it needs to be recognisable as a physical currency, and it need to be at least delicately animated, whenever it is just levitating, spinning, shining, or dissaperaing after being picked up.

 

Canvas: Exactly 32x32.

Colours: Max 7 (including transparency).

Transparency: Required.

Animation: Required.
