Thanks so much to all who took the time to vote and participate in the challenge!

Probably not.

I never knew that Vista palette was way prettyer for your eyes!

EDIT: 120x240 is a bit weird for a landscape.. can we use 240x120 too?

:D

frog on rock.

so which shall i choose.

Spartan - you can enter multiple times

I added a stream and a rock for the water to splash onto, but any ideas for the field on the right. As long as you dont say some kind of animal; I'm gonna keep them out of the pic.

jal, i dont want to disappoint.
here is an update:



im experimenting with some unusual lighting on the fish.
still trying to find out how to AA the black lines in the middle.

I typed in inspiration on Google Images and sure enough I got some  I'm going to stick with a basic landscape.

I will join as mspaintcolors is what I do best!(tho I have never tried the Vista one's).

Frankie, would be cool but not needed.

YAY ME!!!

first (extremely rough) draft, dunno if I'll go with it or not.

edit: slightly less rough

Yay, Jal gave me a compliment 

Looking good so far fellows

@Frankie, nice going there, somehow it reminds me of Legend of Kyrandia: book 1. Don't ask why...

Im new too, I always make stuff but i think it looks cruddy so i never post it

It's really big right now, i will take the square and flip it so it's 120 X 240. I'll change it so it looks like it's bleeding, but i'm wondering on the dithering, and the shape of the eye.

nice idea. just her left wing is to straight for someone injured, and the demon seems happy of his intestines sticking out. :P

oldie CV fans might recognize the influence <_<

but I can't seem to focus on anything right now, don't know if I'll get around to finishing either 

Yes, but then it qualifies it with "landscape/horizontal". Makes a lot of sense.

You've got a valid point. The rule is nonsensical.

Here is what I have so far. Any suggestions?

You'd think this would be true but its not. In the US 120x240 is read as landscape but in other places, for example Serbia, its read as portrait. We spell it out to avoid confusion but failing I guess.

Jalonso has unwittingly had his monitor sitting on its side all these years.
