	I thought my ears were burning. ^_^ Trees can be a nightmare and may easily push you past the deadline. You're better off throwing a highway and an urban landscape in the background and leaving the viewer with a horrible feeling in the pit of their belly that bambi is going to be road kill, or some such. ;) You may find helpful work on PJ by other artists - search for bushes etc, but also look at trees in Big Brother's ORC piece, and several by Fool. Question: If I upload and submit a weekly challenge and then get critique to improve it post-challenge, do I upload it again separately or replace the existing upload?

	Ah, about the circle - how far from perfect is it? Using a slightly smaller circle inside it, I'm wondering whether the internal shape would need to be corrected differently, or some such.

	*Originally posted by Perkele* Any idea how to improve it? reduce dithering as much as you can, and use it only when necessary.

	2 days left and I just started, my idea is a Chinese hand painted plate kinda thing, not sure what the scene will be. thinking mountains, temples, clouds, river, peacocks and all the traditional imagery with a very pastille palette, lots of ideas I just hope I can find time. I know it's not anything yet just posting to ask will it be allowed? as it will be an object with a scene on it. Edited by tripnfelt - 09 May 2009 at 3:30am

	I don't see why it shouldn't be allowed, you are using the template and will include a scene

	So this has been about 2 hours work (yes I'm slow) I think I'll need at least that time again to finish it to standard which I'm not sure i'll find before the deadline. Anyway it's just basically layed out - any crit as yet?

	@Jal: wow awesome Gas would be proud. Although some problems at the moment: the fading off into the distance seems a bit jerky. The colours don't seem to fade off smoothly, especially around the 7th (?) frame (sorry, I haven't actually checked) and near the end where he still remains relatively dark against the lighter background. The fading off movement could do with some work as well, towards the end the squid appears to go a bit fast. As he's a lot further away, he should take longer to move off the screen. Right now he sort of zooms off. Perhaps you should ease off the dithering on the metal a bit, especially near the bottom, as I think it is looking a bit flat... Some of the AA within the inner circle could be improved, particularly on the top left and right, where things look a bit linear rather than circular. Edited by skamocore - 10 May 2009 at 12:40am

	Heya, I only just joined the forum, but I found this place very interesting. ^^ I rarely do pixel art, normally I just sprite, so I'd like to know what you guys think of my first piece. http://www.pixeljoint.com/files/icons/full/entry__r1866220251.gif Is there anything wrong with what I'm doing, or have done?

	\m/ HOKUSAI! Thanks for liking it those who did. Another WIP; So I started the cliffs and cliff paths (still scribbles) and they kinda fall outta the whole oriental style with the rest of it, should I continue to make the cliffs like this or has someone got a good ref pic of oriental style cliffs and paths I could try, google images isn't helping me much. The clouds I'll go back to and do last, Have I made anything worse? The waves and temple aren't finished but they are finished to a point that I could submit if I run outta time. Any crits and suggestions? like the temple should have stairs etc?

Tried to use less, but it looked quite strange. However, I finally submitted mine, hope I still have some chances to win. http://pixeljoint.com/pixelart/42665.htm Jalonso, if you submit this, grr

	Whoops! I guess I missed the competition! Or did I? Is there a chance of submitting this anyway? If not, tough luck. This is my very first image to appear on the Pixel Joint boards - as you can see I'm not too good at this whole drawing / pixel art thing. I gave it a shot anyway. So here it goes: I drew this up using Colors for Nintendo DS and finished it in Graphics Gale on the PC. Doesn't come close to what I've seen around here, but that's my entry. Well, not an entry since I'm late.

	The problem with your entry is a common mistake made by those new to pixelart. The thing is that its not pixelart, this is drawing with the mouse/oekaki. Careful pixel placement is key. See tutorial section or resource section.

	Yea, I thought it falls more into a drawing category, but I thought it came out kind of cool so I posted it anyway. I did alot of pixel by pixel editing as well, plus the clouds weren't there when I drew it. I promise to do better next time around. Hehe.
