   I like the previous hair more, but the new one looks more like "original Joker".

I would do magus from Chrono Trigger, but he's already a sprite so I don't know how well that would work. Instead, I went to the next best baddy, Lynx from Chrono Cross.  (Oh yeah... He has no head) Edited by Adcrusher524 - 11 June 2012 at 12:25pm | |

   Sometimes its better to have shorter, easier challenges that don't require hours and hours of work. It's more inviting to the people who don't have much time on their hands.

You seem very attached to the Monthly Top 10, more than anyone I've seen in this community. These challenges are meant for fun, quit being so concerned and anal about the end product, it's the process that counts. Also, please explain why this challenge wont "generate" a masterpiece? | |

| For this challenge, I'm going to interpret the villain as Lordgenome plus his mecha, because the mecha is way more fun to draw. I'm afraid I tried to fit too many details in, though. Is this readable enough? Any other tips would be great too. E: @philippejugnet: I prefer the small challenges over large masterpiece-generators myself. I don't have time to enter the big ones, so whenever a small fun open-ended challenge like this comes I usually enjoy it more than the huge scenes that only get four or five entrants.

What I mean is, the size is too much restricted. I personally like to work on bigger pieces. Well, I am not concerned with the mothly top, I just think the challenges aren't affecting it, past months 80% of the entries were result from challenges! Now, with those not as great challenges, I can say 20% or less are a result from the challenges. What do I mean with it is: we should have more challenges less abstract ( like the glass one ) such as the crepuscular rays one, 4 of the entries on that challenge got near the top ( 11, 12 ) and 2 of them got top 10. We have lots of talented artists, just like you, and drazelic too, but we need better ideas, concept is the most important part in the art in my oppinion. I completely agree with Drazelic and Adcrusher, but the size could be bigger, so each one with your style can join it. Drazelic you said that you can enter those small ones. Well, on the other challenges no one said you coudnt do a small entry =D. Well, I wish I could work on something like this but the size is very restricted as I mentioned before. Well, the text is confusing I know, sorry. Edited by philippejugnet - 11 June 2012 at 6:50pm | |

   But this is a sprite challenge. Precise detail is a pretty huge part of pixel art (100 x  100 is fairly large for a game sprite in fact). The May monthly top is looking pretty good to me, and the only two weekly challenge entries in it are towards the bottom. @LuckyF: Yes @Adcrusher: The bottom edge of the scythe thing is a bit flat - conforming to the bottom of the canvas too closely? | |

   hmmm, when it say "sprite," does it mean moving, playable character or a non-moving, detailed piece?
 i'm planning on making Discord, from MLP FiM | |

The challenge wants a character on a 100x100 transparent canvas with no animation or movement. Maybe that will help. Edit:  Almost done! Thanks Jeremy, I moved the scythe up a bit to give it more room. Next up is shading that blasted blade >:o Also Jeremy, your avatar/icon is cute haha Edited by Adcrusher524 - 11 June 2012 at 8:27pm | |

| Originally posted by randomboy2007 WIP   Probably the final piece unless I can think of anything else to change unsure if you've considered it -- but the vest? it seems too dark to me, I know it matches his hair, but I almost think it would benefit to be a little brighter, or maybe separated by a different color | |

   Finally done with my exams! And as a present I get this super cool challenge!   I love the batman villains, so I think I'll do a whole series! I've done these already,    Although I think I'll change Poison Ivy, I rushed her too much. The next one is... guess who!  | |

   I had (believe it or not :P) never heard of this villain before finding him on the great invention called Google :) His name is Fin Fang Foom and he is, in short, the Chinese version of Godzilla. Here's a quick lineart of him and my reference.
    His legs look funny to me. Are they too short? Bent at an unnatural angle? Comments please   Edited by greenmango - 13 June 2012 at 5:19pm | |
