ill whip one up

I will start working on this tonight.

[edit]

>>

My idea is to show a sumo tournament. This is a rough idea of the scene I am going for.

Update 2: More filled in and now with basic color. I think I will try for a spotlight effect on the wrestlers to make sure they stand out from the crowd. I also want to show the kanji for "sumo wrestler" on the banners if it will work that size.

looks like paper sumo :D

Excuse me, but must the palette be my own, or I can use someone else's?

@Sapphira - why wouldn't it be?

@On Walls - You may use someone else's palette if you like; but if you do, make sure you give credit to its creator. The only restrictions on colours this week are that you must use at most 32 colours and that pure red must be present.

before anyone uses my idea XD

Elk's, cheezburger's and luca's are just genius!

I believe Lucas meant he was the first one to post his idea.. Pokémon. And Elk's piece is nothing else but marvellous. You'll understand when you notice his/her technique

Arthurio: I see 2 things I would like to point out for you ;)

- The rocks use 4 colors now, You can already achieve this with 3 (besides, the shading is a bit off towards the side.)
- You used pillowshading for the characters, this is a big no-no in pixelshading land. Please fix that.

Hope this can help you further.

i think i need some tips or whatever especially am wondering if the dog looks like he's snarling or smiling (and yes i do have a ref pic)

Wow this is amazing already ;P
I gotta vote for you cauz NARUTO ftw.

It's finally done.

I started rethinking the design because there was just too much going on in the original for this size. Now there is a greater focus on the wrestlers.



Any tips and suggestions are welcome! I should be finishing this up tomorrow.

Where is the red ? you can make the ghost red...

@Arthurio: pillow-shading isn't taboo, it's just usually ugly and indication of basic misunderstandings about light.
It is equivalent of a very frontal lighting, not what you'd expect to make a nice light, and not one we see in current life except when wearing a headlamp in a dark place, and in flash photography.
If that's the effect you're after, then it's perfectly legitimate.

In your case, the guy on the right could be a good example of acceptable frontal light, but unfortunately your rocks say otherwise.

However, I'd say you have more pressing issues: anatomy, banding, and dithering (unnecessary in the rocks). The guy on the left doesn't seem to have feet and hands: is this intended?

Boobs always get +1

Sorry.. Did I just say that out loud?

finished mine.. is it good?

me likes :|

I like the shocked look on the guy's face who just got cut.    Also, the highlights on the black hair are really well done. I had to deal with that in mine too.

   any advace?  its my 3rd ever so dont tear it to shreads

Wow this is a killer :P

@Crow: That's very nice.. i am just unsure of the red shades but well done.

should i load it up?
