Hey guys,
I was wondering - what is the issue with our submitted art:
http://pixeljoint.com/pixelart/132314.htm

"REASON: Automated effects such as gradients, glows, blurs, semi-transparent layers, etc, are not allowed unless these effects could reasonably have been achieved by hand (pixel by pixel placement using basic tools) and do not obscure the underlying intentional pixel placement and pixel clusters."

It was done using only a pencil. No automated effects were used.
